Sneak Peek & Sugarplum News
Well, this week has been a crazy-busy one for me! My brother-in-law is getting married this weekend, which is wonderful! But my husband is one of the groomsmen and my daughter is the flower girl so we’ve been shopping, shopping, shopping (as if it were a week before Christmas!): New shoes, a dress for Katie, and outfit for Joshua (since he’s outgrown everything he had), a wrap to keep me warm in my pretty dress, haircuts, a curling iron… it goes on and on! Do you feel dizzy from me just telling you? I feel dizzy just writing it all out. Oy!
And in the midst of all that, I was able to create a new kit! And I’m so excited about this one, too. I have a sneaky peek for you! Here is tomorrow’s new release, Calico Harvest!
I love the colors and the cozy feel to this one. I hope you like it, too!
Also, I wanted to remind you about this week’s New Beginning Challenge here on the blog, hosted by Alice. Don’t miss your chance to win a Sugarplum Paperie gift card!
Here’s a lovely layout from Sharon (using the Chilled Wine collab) documenting her new season of life after selling her house:
Looking for more challenges? I think all the challenges over at the Digichick (including my Scrappity Card Challenge!) have been extended until this Friday! So don’t miss out on all the fun that’s going on over there—be sure to stop by to play for your change to win LOTS of cool prizes.
Well, that’s all for now! See you tomorrow! And as always, happy scrapping!
Creative Monday
Ah! Monday! Still my favorite day of the week. The day that life feels so much more predictable and I get to “go to work” (I love my job!). It’s also the day for creative beauty here on the blog! So let’s see what the girls were up to this week!
First I have some beautiful things to show you that were all made using the new Autumn Blooms collab! Here is a layout from the talented Krystal:
And here are some wonderful hybrid cards using the new kit! Here are two from Jen (link 1 / link 2) and one from Kim (just click to enlarge):
And here are some more hybrid yummies from Kristie, using Flirty Skirty, and Jill (link 1 / link 2), using Twitter Blossoms:

And finally, this lovely layout from Kate, using the Mango Sorbet collab:
Be sure to click on the girls’ names to visit their galleries to leave them some love (and for more info on the credits if you need them).
Well, That’s all for now! I’ll be back on Wednesday for a sneak peek at my latest kit that’s debuting this Thursday! Until then… happy scrapping!
Autumn Blooms
September is such a wonderful mix of the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall; the kind of month for capris and a sweatshirt (just in case).
New this week at the Digichick is a collab kit I created along with Kelley Mickus that has some really beautiful colors, the kind that really seem to sum up this season of “Not Quite Fall.” We’ve named it Autumn Blooms and I think it’s just lovely:
It’s debuting today at the Digichick (and remember that you’ll save 20% on this kit and everything else in my shop today!). Autumn Blooms contains 13 beautiful patterned papers and 24 lovely elements. Here are a sampling of beautiful layouts from my wonderful creative team! First, here’s a sweet layout from THE Flergs (just click to enlarge and cycle through all the layouts):
Krista really, really liked this kit. She’s made three layouts with it this week:
Here’s a gorgeous one from Kate:
And here are some beauties from Amy, Crystal and Tigz:
A stunning one from Nett:
And these cute onesies from Jill:
And finally, I got a chance to play, too! Here’s my layout:
Well, we hope you like our little kit! We sure had fun putting it together for you. Hope you enjoyed all the pretty inspiration as well!
Today is a big day for the Digichick! Be sure to stop by and see what all the fuss is about! There are all sorts of challenges, games and contests going on. Plus a store-wide sale!
Be sure to stop by my TDC shop and check it all out!
Happy scrapping!
