Sugarplum Paperie

Just wanted to let you know about a few freebie templates that you might like to grab. The first one I made for last week’s Scraplift Challenge… since no one played–you little stinkers! Just stop by the Shanty Blog to pick it up:

And also, one of my wonderful CT members, Susanna, created this wonderful template to share with us! Be sure to stop by the Sunshine Blog to pick it up:

And speaking of the Sunshine Studio… guess what’s coming soon? Another freebie collab! Get ready for all the fun:

Be sure to keep an eye on the Sunshine Blog for more details as the big day approaches!

And, as always, happy scrapping!

Even though I design digital creations, when I scrap for myself I mainly scrap with paper. And seeing that I know all the advantages that there are to digital scrapping, my layouts are usually hybrid layouts.

I’ve written two articles in the last two days on the subject and I wanted to share them with you! The first is an article on the Craft Critique blog. It’s mainly a review of my favorite little pair of scissors, called Paper Snips (more commonly known as Cutter Bees). I wrote about how I can’t do hybrid layouts and other paper projects without them! You can check it out here: Craft Crititque - Cutter Bee Scissors.

The other article I wrote was for the Shanty blog on the topic of using digital designs on your paper layouts. Be sure to check it out, too: The Shanty - Hybrid Scrapbooking.

And when you go there, you’ll also find this freebie that I designed:

Just stop by the Shanty blog to pick it up! I’d love to see what you do with this, either in paper or in pixels.

Enjoy! And happy scrapping!

Before I forget (again!), I wanted to let you know about the template I made for this week’s Scraplift Conversion challenge at the Shanty:

You can pick it up over at the blog! Happy scrapping!

It’s time for some creative love! Boy, do I have some stunning layouts to show you this week. The girls make it so hard for me to narrow it down to just five—in fact I had to add six this week (eight if you count the links!). If you’re looking for inspiration and layouts to lift, look no further—I’ve got lots here!

Let’s start with a little Sunshine, shall we? If you missed the announcement, the Sunshine Girls not only had a huge freebie Easter Egg hunt, we also have just released a collab kit and all sorts of other goodies (see them all here: Sunshine). Here’s a beautiful layout by Amy using pieces from the Mega Collection:
