August Grab Bag
Woo-hoo! It’s Grab Bag Time at The Digichick this month! Hooray!
This is my third year participating in the August Grab Bags. I can hardly believe that! My first bag I made when I was a guest in 2008. So that means that today also marks my two year anniversary of having Sugarplum Goodies available at The Digichick! Wow—it does not feel like it has been that long. 
Well… enough rambling—let’s get on to what you want to see! Here it is! And I’ve given this one a name: Everyday : August 2010 Grab Bag (yeah—I had to start dating them, too! LOL!).
I’ve named this one “Everyday” because as you may know if you’ve purchased any of my previous grab bags, what I enjoy most is getting to stuff these packages full of basic goodies you can use again and again! I try to make my grab bags coordinate enough that you feel like you can use the pieces together, but practical enough that you can use them with any other kit. It’s also a fun time for me to get to play around and make some funky papers! And this time is no exception.
Inside this grab bag, you will find 6 beautifully shabby papers, a set of 12 frames, 14 painted masks to use to make a place for journaling on your layouts, a set of 24 “hand-cut” paper strips and 80 pieces of “everyday” word art, including months and numbers 00-31 for dating your pages. This pack also includes both clean and distressed versions for you to use.
To give you a taste of what’s inside, here are some beautiful layouts from the girls on my creative team! First, here’s a precious layout from Jess, using the bag along with a mix of random Sugarplum goodies:
And here are some more beautiful layouts from the girls on my CT and the Digichick’s CT (just click to enlarge):

I hope you enjoy the delightful surprises waiting for you inside! Enjoy! And happy scrapping!
Everything Under the Sun
I’ve been a very busy girl this week! I have some news to share with you, too!
My good friend Monica invited me to guest at Sunshine Studio Scraps this month! Like a crazy person, of course I said yes. I have a habit of letting this woman twist my arm. If I don’t give in, she starts with the puppy dog eyes, and well… you know. I crumble. It was something I’ve been hoping to get a chance to do for a while now. No time like the present!
Well, Monica and I have whipped up a sunny new collab for you! When I saw the beautiful rainbow palette Monica had picked, I said to her “Looks like you’ve got everything under the sun there.”
So… allow me to proudly introduce to you our new kit, Everything Under the Sun!
Included in this kit you will find 22 gorgeous patterned and plain papers, 73 elements (including word art, flowers, stitches, ribbons and more!) and 1 full alphabet that includes both upper and lowercase letters with European characters along with a set of numbers (0-9) and symbols.
Here’s a layout that I made with the new collab:
And this showcases only a pinch of the goodies that are inside. There’s so much! A little bit of everything that’s under the sun! LOL!
You’ll find Everything Under the Sun on sale for 30% off during Sunshine Studio’s Sunny Weekend Sale! Hurry on over and check it out! We hope you love it!
Happy scrapping!
A Perfectly Ordinary Day
I am very excited to share a gorgeous new collab with you today! I was so giddy with glee when Lauren Grier from the Sweet Shoppe said that she’d like to make a kit with me.
I’m a fan of lots of those great designers at SSD and I’ve been dying to get a chance to work someone over there, but I don’t really know anyone! But thanks to the magic of Twitter, La and I were able to get together and I was just on Cloud 9 because I adore her stuff!
So—today I am proud to present to you our beautiful new kit, A Perfectly Ordinary Day.
This collection is packed full of goodies to help you record all those wonderful “perfectly ordinary” and precious moments you capture with your camera.
Included in this collab you will find 17 patterned and plain papers along with 56 elements (including hand-drawn doodles, word art, flowers, frames and more!) and 1 tiny little lowercase alpha.
You’ll find A Perfectly Ordinary Day on sale now through Friday for 20% off at the Digichick.
Here are some gorgeous layouts from the girls on my Creative Team. First, here’s one from Jess:
