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:

Daisy Summer Days is a beautiful collection of papers and elements with a bit of a vintage “thrift store” twist! At least, that’s the idea I had in my mind when I was putting all the little pieces together.

I think the color scheme makes it more bright, cheery and playful than your typical shabby kit… and that’s one reason I love it so.

Included in this kit you will find 10 unique patterned and plain papers and 25 embellishments (including things like a gorgeous frame, flowers, a butterfly with rhinestones, a feather, stamps and word art).

You’ll also find this collection available as separate a paper and element pack.

You’ll find Daisy Summer Days on sale now through Friday for 20% off.

You can download the free add-on pack here: Daisy Summer Days Freebie (If you have any trouble downloading this item, I’d highly suggest trying the wonderful 7-zip program. It always solves all my un-zipping issues! It’s the best.)

I hope you enjoy this pretty new collection. And enjoy the freebie! Happy scrapping!

Well, I have a barrel full of new things to show you today… so hold on to your hats!

First up, I have a new kit in the store today. It’s a birthday themed collection because this year marks the 5 Year Anniversary of the Digichick’s opening day! We’re celebrating with a slew of kits that are available for 50% off all month long.

That’s right—50% off!

My contribution to the party is this bright and cheerful birthday kit, called Something to Celebrate–perfect for when you have something special to scrap about! Inside you will find 10 papers, 20 elements (including frames, stamps, flowers, word art and more!) and a set of numbers, 0-9.

This collection not only coordinates with the other Birthday Bash items at The Digichick this month… but it also was created using the Studio 365 palette, so it will match any of the other Studio 365 items you may have in your stash!

Well, my split personalities have been busy lately. Not only do I have a Sugarplum kit in the store today… I have a Girl Friday Grab Bag, too!

Inside my May Grab Bag, you will find a set of six colorful mini kits celebrating the various emotions of everyday life. It includes an assortment of patterned and plain papers, frames, elements and word art.

This collection also coordinates with the Studio 365 line, including my new Something to Celebrate kit!

You’ll also find that my two shops are on sale today. You’ll be able to save 30% off anything else you’ve had your eye on! But please note—that’s today only, while we celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. If you happen to miss out on today’s sale, no worries—just watch for the announcement that it’s my special day later this month when I will be spotlighted on the Digichick Blog during our month-long Birthday Bash! You’ll have a chance then to save 30% once again!

I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating NSD! Happy, happy scrapping to you!

I made this set of overlays because I found that over and over again, I just needed “something” to add the last little touch to one of my digital papers. So, I created this set of Painted Edges from the “Commercial Use Dept.” of Sugarplum Paperie.

You can use each overlay by itself or add two together for a different effect. Each border is a different thickness, so by combining more than one, you can get even more looks! There are four overlays in all and each one is 12 x 12.

Set them to Overlay mode at 100% for a bold look or Soft Light mode at 30% for just a hint of distressing. Or you can easily recolor these overlays as needed! I personally like to use them as the final and top layer over all the other overlays I’ve used when I’m making papers. There are several possible ways to put these painted edges to good use in your Designer Tool Box. It’s fun to mess around and see what you can create!

And they are also licensed for Personal Use as well. You can use these overlays anytime you feel like you need a little vignetting around the edge of your papers!

I hope you enjoy having these overlays in your tool box! I know I do…

Happy scrapping!
