LAST DAY SALE!!

Hey everyone!! Head on over to my store right now for my LAST DAY sale! Everything is marked down to $1 or less (excluding collabs) - November 30th ONLY! Snag 'em while you can!!

Saying goodbye, for now...

I've been putting off this moment for as long as I could. The time has come for me to retire from digiscrap designing, at least for the time being. I hope to come back to it someday, as this is a dream come true for me, but sometimes dreams have to wait until you have time. I've got little ones who need more time than I've had lately.

So this is goodbye for now. But not forever, I hope! :) You'll probably see me around here, popping into challenges now and then -- I can't stay away from scrapping!

But there's good news too! My entire store (excluding collabs) will be 50% off until it closes indefinitely on November 30th. Even if I do come back someday, there's no guarantee you'll ever see these kits again! So if you've been hemming and hawing about any of my kits, now's the time! :)

Speaking of my kits -- my DSD grab bag has finally split open! You can now grab the various pieces individually -- and at a pretty decent price with the sale going on!

Here's what's "new" in store:







Tomorrow, a new Designer Collab will be hitting the stores at GDS. You'll be able to snag my portion for just $2! Here's a sneak peek of my piece of the collab:

Cute, huh? Be sure to watch for it!

And one more piece of "news" -- I now have a newsletter!! It seems a little backwards to be getting one NOW, but if I do have free time for designing, I'm not going to have anywhere to put any of the lovely kits I might make! Subscribe to my newsletter via the link to your right, and you'll receive news about what I might be up to in the design world in the future. I promise not to spam you. ;) In fact, I most likely won't post that often. But until I start selling again (whenever that may be) you'll get everything I might design for myself -- for free! And you'll have an insider's info if I ever do hop back into a store! Anyway, on to today's freebie!

Template 72
Made from a layout I'm making for the annual year-end photobook. This is my little one's birthday layout! Lots of pictures, some fun bubbly shapes -- and that circle picture replaces a cutout of his birthday cake! :) As usual, this template is in PNG and PSD formats, and comes in three sizes -- 8.5x11 and 11x8.5 as well as 12x12. Enjoy!!

You haven't seen the last of me -- I've got my own scrapping to do now, which means more templates for you! So happy scrapping!!

Happy iNDSD!!

iNSD, DSD, iNDSD ... the initials get scrambled in my head, but HAPPY DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY tomorrow!! GoDigitalScrapbooking.com has so much fun planned for the whole weekend! I get to host a Scrap-a-Thon!! Seven challenges in one weekend, for a chance to win one of a few $7 store coupons! There's also DSD Bingo, a party/chat, a 50% off sale (tomorrow only!), and all sorts of fun! You can find the DSD forum right here! Jump in and play with us! Oh, and here's the official ad, isn't it cute? (I made it, mostly with the contents of my DSD grab bag)


Meanwhile, I have so much new stuff to show you! I mentioned my DSD grab bag already, so I'll show you that first. This is ALREADY on sale for 50% off, until Monday!

The specific contents are a secret, but they add up to $15 worth of product. This bag is really stuffed! It contains:
-a full kit and matching alpha
-a CU glitter pack
-a template pack
-a set of grungy photo masks
-a set of multi-photo layered frames
Here's a sneak peek -- layouts made by my CT using only the contents of the grab bag!




Didn't they do a FANTASTIC job??

I have a bunch of other new products in my store, so be sure to peek around! There are loads of new alphas, new quickpages, and things like that. One thing, though, I just added today. Remember my oooooold kits, Ready for Sun, Beautiful Blues, and Sidewalk Chalk?? They don't reflect my current design style anymore, so I retired them after I switched from MLAS. But I never got to have a goodbye sale, and a couple of people have asked me about them. If you are missing any of these kits, now is your last chance to grab them, for only $3!! They will be gone forever on November 30th, so act fast.


Here's a little sneak peek of the new stuff you'll find in my store:





I hope you see something you like! :D Now, I believe you came for a freebie? Thanks for scrolling through all this. :)

Template 71
This template is a multi-photo one based on a layout I'm working on. It has room for 7 photos! It comes in PSD and PNG format. It also comes in three sizes -- 12x12, 8.5x11, and 11x8.5. Have fun scrapping!

Click on the preview to download!


Have a fun and happy iNDSD!!

Update, new releases and a freebie!

Gosh, I am terrible about blogging lately! So much is happening all at once, everything's just crazy!! I'm hosting a Progressive Challenge at GDS twice a month, and that takes up a lot of my online energy -- most of my "extras" go toward participation prizes, so I don't have a ton of blog freebies left. But you get one today, never fear!

Sheesh, where do I start? Okay, well. Designers suddenly got a lot more freedom in managing our shops at GDS, so I was able to spam my own store with things I hadn't added yet. ^_^ All of my template packs are back!! This includes one new one, Pack 5, as well as the elusive Pack 4 that was only at MLAS for a little while. And in case you've managed to miss them all, you can grab my first Template Pack BUNDLE instead! It contains all FIVE of my template packs, for the price of 4! And for a few more days, all of my templates are on sale, 20% off!! Here's a preview of the bundle (linked) -- you can just click on my name at the top of the page to browse around for the individual templates!


What else is new? Well, geniaBeana and I have teamed up again for another awesome collab! It's called Hoo's My Girl -- a girly version of our first collab! Check it out:

Hoo's My Girl is 30% off for just a few more days, so be sure to snag it soon!

And one more thing before we get to that freebie I promised you... remember Tweenage Crisis, my collab with Mama Mia Mandy at MLAS? Well, as I am no longer at that store, we mutually decided to split the collab and sell the pieces individually. In the process, my kit magically transformed (cough cough, was revamped) into a larger kit with a few extra papers and elements! In addition, many of the things already in the kit have been updated and snazzified! (Yes, that is a word! ...okay, maybe not) Anyway, as with the rest, this kit is on sale 30% off for a little while longer, so head over and take a peek!


So that's what I've been up to lately, design wise... at least, that's what I can show you! I've got a few more adorable things that I can't wait to show off, but they won't be released for a little bit. I'll be back. ;)

Now FINALLY we can get to that freebie! It's been a long time!

Template 66
This template is clean and simple, with a circular mat and some pretty paperstrips. It has spaces for three photos. And remember, all of my new templates now have not just one but THREE sizes, so this download includes a 12x12, an 8.5x11, and an 11x8.5 version. Each version is in both PSD and PNG formats. This is a chubby little template! I hope you enjoy it!

I'm a little limited on time, so that's all for today. Happy scrapping~!!

New Release, BIG NEWS, and a BLOG PARTY!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!!

Guess what?? ..No, you don't have to guess, I'll tell you! I am opening a NEW store over at goDigitalScrapbooking.com! And why, you ask? That's the second piece of big news!! (Edited to add: My store at GDS is still empty, but please check back later! I understand new things will be added throughout the day.)

Since I began scrapping, I've been scrapping, designing, and bouncing ideas around with Val, aka geniaBeana. When we opened stores (around the same time), we joined each others' CTs. But we weren't able to get in at the same store at that point. Recently the opportunity presented itself to join GDS, and hence to be able to collab together in the same store, and we jumped at the chance! This week both of us are opening at GDS, and everything in both stores is 35% off! That includes this marvelous new kit, created purely for the celebration, Girls' Night Out!

Here's what our awesome CT has done with GNO -- click the small previews to see a larger version in a new window:



And Val has created this awesome kit using complimentary colors -- It's A Party!

Here's my LO with It's a Party -- available below in QP form! You can find Val's store here (but again, not much is up yet -- keep checking!)


But that's not all -- since Val and I both come from the same original forum (BAM - remember those blog trains a while back?), we had a lot of ladies we both knew, that were on both of our CTs. So we decided, when we moved, that we would also merge our CTs! We now have one, combined CT. Together, Val and I are KgB Scrap Kreations -- and our CT gals are The KgB. You'll see them around the digiworld, posting RAK threads for us, advertising this blog train, and otherwise fulfilling their secret spy missions for us. ;) (Pun note: the KGB is like the Russion version of the CIA or MI:6, so when we decided to call our CT the KgB, they wanted to be spies! *lol*)

SO! Today, we have a whole BLOG PARTY of freebies for you! The KgB has come together with both of our new kits to create freebies for you! There are quickpages, wordart, and even a free alpha! Speaking of which...

Girls' Night Out Alpha
**this freebie will be available as long as my Grand Opening sale continues -- until September 7th! grab it while you can!**
This alpha is made of glass, black glitter, and deliciously shiny chrome. It's made with the font Cafe Rojo, by Kevin and Amanda, and includes a full alphabet (upper/lower mixed, as per the font), numbers 0-9, and some common punctuation. It coordinates perfectly with both Girls' Night Out by me and It's A Party by geniaBeana. :) If you miss the download, it is also packaged together with GNO and will be released separately in the shop as well.

Link expired -- check out my store!


I've also created a quickpage for you, using "It's A Party" and Val's awesome coordinating plastic styles!

Click on the preview to download!


From here, you'll want to head on over to Val's blog to get the blog train rolling! Don't forget to leave some love for our CT gals, some of them are first-timers at this blogtrain stuff!
(Keep in mind we are all on different timezones, so if anyone's post isn't up yet, be sure to check back later.)

Tweenage Crisis!!!

I am so excited for this post! This kit has been in the works for a long time and now I finally get to tell you about it! I've been working on my very first MLAS Designer Duo with Mama Mia Mandy. It's called Tweenage Crisis!

Tweenage Crisis contains 20 papers and over 40 elements, plus an alpha by Mandy. Click on the preview to head to the store for more previews and details. This kit and the glitter are 25% off until Monday, August 3rd, so snag this deal while you can!

You will also receive this FREE Quickpage Album when you purchase the kit!


And here's the coordinating CU glitter pack!


I'm going out of town this weekend and haven't had time to resize and post my CT's awesome layouts here for you, but if you click on the kit preview in the shop, you should be able to scroll through and see them! They all did an AWESOME job! :)

And here's today's freebie - an extra coordinating "Tween Crisis" alpha!!

Tween Crisis Alpha
This alpha is made of a swirl-stamped purple and black epoxy. This pack contains a full upper and lower alpha and most common punctuation. The upper case is rather slender, while the lower case is nice and thick and bold, as you can see below. :)

New Release Thursday and a freebie!

Hey everyone!! I've got something awesome to show you! Today is the debut of my brand-new girly kit, "My Darling." Special thanks to Talia French for her submission in my Name This Kit contest! Note for contest winners: Coupon codes have all been sent out, so check your email and let me know if your code didn't come through! :)

My Darling contains 16 papers and over 45 elements!! Click on the preview to head to my store for more previews and details. Both the kit and the glitter are 30% off until Wednesday, August 5th, so snag this deal while you can!

The kit:


Here's a preview of the alpha (included with the kit!) just for kicks:


And the CU glitter pack!


And here's what my awesome CT has been doing with it so far! Click a LO to see a larger version in a new window.






A quick survey question for those of you paying attention -- would it be beneficial to you for me to put my alphas in the shop, sold separately? I would still include them in the kit, but I really like some of the alphas I've done for my kits and wondered if people might like to buy them as a standalone. Let me know what you think!

In the meantime, here is today's freebie - another quickpage made from this new kit! I just love playing with it!

"My Darling" Quickpage #2
This is a 12x12" "drop in" quick page created by me, Kimi, with my brand-new kit, "My Darling." It uses the kit's included cluster frame, leaving space for three photos. Have fun with it! :)
