Party Hat – Day Six

July 31, 2008 | Filed Under Blog News, Layouts, New Releases, Shop Sales | 37 Comments 

This piece of the Party Hat has my favorite paper in it. Yes, green is my most favorite color! I try not to make it too obvious. I just can’t seem to make a kit without green (or at least teal!). Ha!

Well that’s it for my piece of the party! Tomorrow I’ll turn it over to the girls and they’ll be posting all their little Sugarplum gifts for you. I’ll link you up so you can find all their yummy treats!

And my little secret is in the bag… er, I mean folder. Some of you may have already heard the news! Well, it’s time to let that cat out of the bag! Because I don’t want you to miss the 20% off sale on all my products today over in my shop at… THE DIGICHICK!

I'm a DigiChick

That’s right! I’ve been invited over to the Digichick to be their Guest for the Month of August! And I’ve been working my tail off to make some special things to celebrate. First of all, I’ve made my very first grab bag!:

Grab Bag

And here’s an amazing layout from Kate, using bits and pieces from the bag:

Bath Time Fun

So adorable! There are lots of fun things in the bag. If you like what you see here, you’re going to love what’s inside!

And then I have another new kit to show you, one that’s exclusive to my shop at TDC! It’s called Grapefruit Twist and it’s the first in a series of four tasty coordinating kits!

Here is a gorgeous layout from Kristin, using the new kit:

Be on the lookout for another cool kit in the Twist collection next Thursday! I’m pretty sure that next I’ll be serving up a slice of Lemon…

So be sure to stop by the Digichick today and check out my new little shop!

Creative Monday

July 28, 2008 | Filed Under Layouts | 5 Comments 

Welcome to Creative Monday!

Well, you might have seen the little Twitter update I posted (over there on the sidebar) that said, “I just added three more CT to my team. Yes, I am insane!” But I think it was a good decision. LOL! We can all use a little more beauty in our lives, right? And these girls were all waiting so patiently.

So, to start us off this week, here is a layout from our new guest, Krista! She used a mix of A Little Birdie and Plumberry Teacakes goodies, along with some papers from the Leap Frog freebie for this darling layout:

And before we move on, I wanted to take a minute to ask you to check out Krista’s lovely gallery. She has adorable kids and a real sense for composition, but yet she has very little love left on her layouts. Will you take a minute to look at her gallery and leave a comment or two? She’ll probably be embarrassed that I asked, but hey… I think it’s a shame that we sometimes HAVE to play a praise game to ever get noticed, but some sites are so busy that it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle. Thanks for reading my silly little plea! Can you tell I love to leave praise? I do!

Okay! Back to business. Here is a classy layout from Tracy, using Flirty Skirty with some beautifully recolored flowers in magenta! I loved them so much, that she sent them to me to play with! Wasn’t that sweet?

Opportunity

Here is a fantastic layout from Sya, using Twitter Blossoms. This girl has such an eye for composition! I love the mix of circles and shapes in her layout:

Love

And here’s a stunning layout from Danielle, also using Twitter Blossoms. I just love the realism she added to the edges of the paper!

You & Me

And here is a gorgeous layout from Kate that just goes to show that with a little thought you can use one kit for any type of layout. Here is a page she made with wedding pictures using Confetti & Candy (which I always thought of as a “birthday kit”). So lovely:

My Love

Just a reminder: Confetti & Candy is being retired and it’s currently 50% off until the end of the month! After that, it will be gone forever, along with these kits as well:

50% off!

Oh, and don’t forget to take a minute to click on these great layouts and leave these girls some love, too. They are so inspiring to me! I know that I’m learning how to be a better scrapper from looking at all their lovely designs day by day.

Whew! This post is getting long… Hee hee! And there’s more!

I actually scrapped last night! I was amazed. I’ve felt so busy and dizzy lately that it was great to feel like I could take the time to slow down have a little fun. See, I was the recipient of a RAK at DST for the Pass the Torch game they are playing to celebrate DST’s Birthday. I was given a gift card to W&W, so of course I RAN over and got myself the beautiful embellishment pack from Gina Marie’s Delightful Collection. And then I had to play! Here’s my layout:

Love Being With You

And there’s a little sneaky peek here for you… because the paper is from a set that’s in my August Grab Bag that’s coming soon! Thursday, in fact… Yippee!

Well, enjoy Day Three of Party Hat! And I’ll see you back here tomorrow for Day Four! YAY!

Happy scrapping!
