Sugarplum Paperie

A celebration of friendship and technology, Let’s Connect is bright, bold, funky and fun! Just take a look at all the pretty papers:

And the fun embellishments:

This kit is jam-packed with goodies: 85 papers and over 140 elements, including frames, stickers, flowers, glitter, ribbons, cords, speech balloons, word art and 2 alphabets. Wow!

Let’s Connect is the collaborative effort of a group of designers who came together to cheer up our friend (and a member of each of our creative teams), Andrea. She had been in danger of going off line for while after she got hit with a tripple whammy of bad stuff all in one day and she was going to cut her internet connection for at least six months! Can you imagine? We were so sad to see her go! So, we created this kit out of love for her (so she’d have something special to play with) and we’ve decided that the best presents should be shared, right? We hope you enjoy this fun kit and that it brightens your day, too!

Here are some layouts made with this kit to inspire you:

Happy scrapping!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! Mine was full of good times with family and delicious food (summer fresh fruits and veggies—yum!), plus a little gardening and a little shopping. Busy, busy!

I have some beautiful and inspiring layouts to show you today! First, here is a elegant layout from Crystal, using a mix of A Little Birdie and Paper Garden:

And here’s a precious layout from Katey, using Plumberry Teacakes mixed with the Vintage Paperie alpha:

Here is a gorgeous layout from Andrea, using Paper Garden:

And here’s another pretty Paper Garden layout from Tigz:

And here’s a funky-cool layout from Kristin, using 7th Avenue:

And finally, I was honored to have the talented Bren Boone play around with the new Paper Garden kit, too. Here is her gorgeous layout:

Be sure to click on these layouts to leave these girls some love!

Tomorrow, there is something special coming to the shop! A fabulous and fun new collab:

Be on the lookout for this tomorrow! Now, I’m off to hunt down my muse and finish that new kit I posted about on Friday–LOL!

Happy scrapping!

Oh, newsletter woes… I has them.

But my hubby is on it, determined to get under the hood and figure it all out for me so I won’t have them any more! I love that man.

Sincerest apologies if you get three copies of the darn thing! In the meantime, I have a little something I’m working on finishing up today…

Off to make some more goodies…

Okay, okay… the wait is over! Paper Garden is now in the shop, and not only that—it’s on sale all weekend long. Ooo! How exciting!

Would you like to take a closer look at the kit now? I am happy to oblige! Here are the gorgeous papers:

The pretty embellishments:

And the entire Paper Garden collection:

Normally, you would save $1.00 when you purchased the whole kit, but this weekend you’ll save an additional 25% off! Be sure to pick it up a.s.a.p.—you don’t want to miss this deal!

Franziska and I also have something special just for you. Be sure to stop by her blog to see just what she has in store for you! Here are my little goodies:

Enjoy! And happy scrapping!

Well… the paper perfectionists are finally done with their new collab kit! Would you like a sneak peek? Or course you would! Here you go:

Coming to a Sugarplum Paperie near you–SOON!

I’ve been so busy with this today, I almost forgot–I’m off to The Shanty for some template inspiration! See you over there.

Happy scrapping!

A little birdie told me that there was a new kit in the Sugarplum shop! It’s called A Little Birdie and it’s full of softness, sweetness and shabbiness—yum!

Here are the papers:

And here are the embellishments:

Buy the whole kit, save $1.00!

Hope you like it! The next idea I have in mind for a kit will be very different. I seem to like making both shabby things and bold things. It’s time for a bold thing. Maybe a little orange, too. I love orange! It’s one of those colors that I really should lavish a little more love and affection on…

I also have a question for you: My list of newsletter subscribers grew so large, I had to move to a new system so that I can send out a few hundred batches over the course of a few hours. But the numbers that the program gives to me when it’s done have me a little worried! Would you mind voting in this quick little poll to reassure me that everything is a-ok? Thanks so much!

Hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy scrapping!

The second set of Monograms is now in the shop! Here is Volume 2:

And you can also now get both sets together! Not only will you get all six alphabets and 12 clusters, you’ll also save $1.00 when you purchase the whole collection:

Now, I know you. You love freebies! Me, too! And let me tell you–it’s even more fun to give them out! I’ve made a little sampler for you that contains one ampersand in each of the six colors, along with two pre-shadowed clusters! Enjoy them:

And in other news, I’ve decided to leave the Sunshine Shop. I didn’t really have anything in my little section of the store anyway, just some collab kits that I’ve made with other Sunshine Girls. But I spent a huge amount of time on a million little behind the scenes things for the Sunshine Studio and it finally caught up with me—I felt like it was time for me to step down for my own sanity! It’s really hard to try to “do it all.” I don’t know why I keep trying to do it… LOL! So, when you hear that I’m not there any longer, it’s not due to any “secret drama;” It’s just that I got burnt out from working overtime. Thankfully, they have a new tech support person on staff to give them the help that they need, so that makes me feel good. I wish them the best!

So, anyway… here’s to happy scrapping! Thanks for listening and I hope you have a wonderful day!

There’s a new embellishment pack in the Sugarplum Shop! It’s a collection of Monograms with pre-shadowed clusters:

The collection contains three sets of monogram letters in pink, blue and plain paper, along with six clusters of fun embellishments with flowers, butterflies and ribbons or stars, notepapers and silver accents. “Fun for a girl or a boy!”

Each cluster comes separate so that you can add it where ever you think it looks best! Here’s a layout that I made using the monogram set, along with some things from the new Plumberry Teacakes kit:

As you can see, because the clusters come separate from the letters, you are able to use them any way you like to! I layered my photo and frame in between the letter “N” and the flower cluster. I could even use the flower or star clusters by themselves. It’s so easy to simply open one of them up and drag it on to my layout—it’s all ready to go!

I hope you enjoy playing with these fun pieces! And be on the lookout for a second set of monograms early next week!

Also, I’ll be back later this afternoon with another Shanty template to share with you… but I need to make it first—Ha!

Happy scrapping!

Happy NSD to all of you! And happy 6 month anniversary to me and Sugarplum Paperie! I opened my little shop on November 3rd last year (on what was then Digital Scrapbooking Day). And what a blast it’s been!

I hope you’re having fun with all the festivities that are to be found today. I have some festive things to share with you, too! The first is this little freebie. I love seeing people use the paper strips from my Leap Frog freebie so much, that I decided to make some more. Enjoy!:

DETAILS:
Contains ten paper strips
300 dpi, saved as .png files
Drop shadow for illustration only
Approx. 1 1/2 x 3/4 inch in size (shown here @ 25%)

And the other thing I wanted to share with you is my newest kit, Flirty Skirty! Here are the papers:

Enjoy! And most of all, HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!

So, I’ve been making a few changes in the shop. I thought I’d let you know about them! First, I took the papers and elements from both Confetti & Candy and Summer Sorbet and I’ve made them into whole kits, both priced at $4.00 (save $1.00 on each!):

And then, I’ve given one of my very first paperie packs a makeover! I created these papers back when I felt very inept with creating elements (so I didn’t even try). Here is the NEW 7th Avenue:

I hope you like it! Included in the kit are 16 concentric circles that I know some talented scrapper is just going to go to town with. I can’t wait to see your layouts! This has always been one of my favorite packs, so I’m happy to give it a new life.

Enjoy! And happy scrapping!
