Featured Designer Chat @ DST!
Tomorrow night is the big chat:
I hope you’ll be able to join me! I’m a little nervous about it and I’d love to see you there. I’m always so happy to see some familiar faces at a chat and whenever my “Sugarplum Friends” show up, I just have the best time!
So, mark your calendars for Friday night, June the 12th starting at 10:00 p.m. EST at DST! I hope to see you there!
Creative Monday
Well… I actually don’t have much to show you today. I’ve had the girls all busy with kits and layouts that aren’t ready for their big debut yet! But I should be able to share a little something later in the week…
I do however have this lovely Springtime layout to show you from Jen, who mixed the Calico Harvest kit with Plumberry Teacakes to make this gorgeous layout (just click to enlarge).
This layout makes me want to create a whole new purple and cream colored kit! And I thought I didn’t like purple. LOL!
I actually think it’s pretty funny how I’ll say that, but I’ll still want to add a purple into one of my palettes. I guess it’s only certain shades of purple that turn me off. Overall, I must be a “cool colors” type of person, because I know I have a serious green and blue (especially teal/turquoise) addiction. Can’t help but add those colors in every time!
Here’s another beautiful layout that I didn’t share from a few weeks ago. This one is by Kate, using the Meadowlark kit. And I’ll link you up to two more layouts from this week made by Rosanne and Amy for your viewing pleasure.
Be sure to leave the girls a little love. It’s always so appreciated! Okay—on to a bit of Sugarplum News:
First of all, the Cafe Latte collab can now be found at Sugarplum Paperie and in my shop at the Digichick.
Then this Thursday I’ll have a brand new kit in the shop that coordinates with my unpacked goodies that were in the Studio FEMNZ May Grab Bag (and those will also be added to the shop this Thursday, too). I’ll have a sneaky peek just for you later this week.
And then I’ve also heard that Sunshine & Lemonade is available for download now to Gold and Diamond members at DST! I hope you enjoy using the kit! I’ll be watching the Gold Member Layout Gallery to see your beautiful layouts. I can’t wait to see them!
I think that’s all for now… happy scrapping to you!
Featured Designer at DST
I have some crazy news: I was asked if would like to be this month’s Featured Designer at DST! Another designer was scheduled for this month and she wasn’t able to do it and I was able to make something just in time (in record time, actually!) I don’t know how I did it. My mojo came back from vacation with a major rush. LOL!
Here’s a sneak peek at the kit:
Want to see the whole preview? Be sure to stop by the Featured Designer Kits category at DST!
This kit is only available to Gold and Diamond members for the next year at DST. If you want to find out more about membership, just stop by this page: Gold Membership
I hope the DST members enjoy this kit. It was just a blast to make!
Happy scrapping!
Creative Monday
Hello all! Finally making some time today to do a little inspirational blogging. You know, my Mondays used to be a lot more fun. Now I feel like my to-do list is just a mile long! LOL! Can’t believe it’s almost five o’clock… but I digress.
First up are some beautiful layouts from the girls using my part of the Studio FEMNZ May Grab Bag. Here are three layouts from Tigz, Sya and Denise:
If you haven’t picked up the grab bag already, be sure to do so this week before it’s gone! I’ll be unpacking my items and adding them to the shop next week (Thurs., June 4th).
I’m also trying to work on something new that coordinates with these colors and my mini kit. I had so many plans and ideas for this great color palette, but sadly not as much time and as much inspiration as I would have needed to get something more into the bag. I had wanted to do two minis (a blue and green one and then pink and orange one, too)… but hey—now I have a whole new kit on my hands! Just need my muse to stop by so I can finish it up. LOL!
Okay, back to the layouts. Here’s another gorgeous layout from Amy:
And one more bright and sunny one from Krista:
Also, check this out! So exciting to see… (thanks to Kim for letting me know). One of my freebies was included on a beautiful card published in Paper Crafts magazine:
A BIG thank you to Stefanie Hamilton for using my little word art freebie! You’ve totally made my day. By the way, here is the freebie if anyone else is looking for it: Word Art Frames
Well, I hope you have a wonderfully creative day! Happy scrapping to you!
Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
I’m going to try to cover all my NSD News in one post… are you ready for this? Hold on to your hats!
First of all, the Sugarplum Shop is on sale: Save 40% off on kits, paper packs, elements, templates and quick pages all weekend long! You’ll also find that everything is 40% off at the Digichick this weekend as well. Woo-hoo!—happy shopping!
Next up, I have several freebies to tell you about! I’ve been a busy little chickie making lots of goodies for you just for NSD. Yippee!
First on the list is this pack of pretty patterned papers, Paper Daisies, that I made for this weekend’s festivities at The Hybrid Chick blog!
If you’ve been meaning to try your hand at a little hybrid papercrafting, then this weekend is your weekend! The Hybrid Chick is going to be stuffed to the brim with articles, tutorials, giveaways and inspiration. So much fun! We hope to see you there.
Also, the Digichick Designers were invited by DST to make this year’s free kit for National Scrapbooking Day! What an honor. We’ve named it Cherry Delight and you’ll find it available for download inside the DST Insider.
There are dozens of pretty papers and elements inside, as well as a set of blogwear, ready to print hybrid boxes and four different alphas! It’s amazing.
Be sure to stop by to pick it up from May 1st through the 5th. After that, you’ll find the kit for sale in the Digichick Boutique.
And there’s more…
Finally, I was also invited to participate in MSA’s beautiful collab freebie for NSD called Wildflower. I’m still in awe that I was allowed to even take part in something like this with so many designers that I respect and admire. I felt a bit like a gushing fan girl!
Anyway, it’s a gorgeous kit made from gorgeous colors and I hope you also enjoy it!
So many goodies at one time… can your hard drive take it?! At least you know that I love ya, right? Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
Now, one more thing to tell you about! Don’t forget there’s a chat tonight at the Digichick (starting at 10:00 p.m. EST):
I’ll be there with coupons and pretty little presents for you! Hope to see you there!
And as always… HAPPY SCRAPPING!
