Sugarplum Paperie

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!

So, I was teasing Jessy the other day, telling her that if I couldn’t get her to make digital layouts for the Creative Team, I’d just start using her paper layouts that she’s posting at the Shanty. But I did kinda mean it—she’s been inspiring me! Take a look at this great layout:

This layout really got me thinking. I love her snapshot. So much so that we’re going to have a Challenge! Here are the rules so you can play along:

1) Grab your camera!

5) Come back here and leave me a link to your layout to enter!

I’ll give you the weekend to play and then pick a winner on Monday morning. So feel free to leave me a link up until midnight on Sunday, June 22nd (EST)!

And what’s the prize? A $5 gift card to the Sugarplum Paperie shop! And how many will win? Well… that depends on how many play along! For every 10 people who play along, I’ll give out 1 gift card—so the more scrappers, the better! Feel free to spread the word!

Here’s my layout:

And here’s one from Andrea:

And another from Crystal:

Come and join us and make your own. So much fun!

Best of luck to you and happy, happy scrapping!

Hello all! Boy, do I have some stunning layouts to show you this week! And quite a mix of different looks and colors, too. I just adore my CT! Have I said that lately?

Let’s start with this beautiful one from Amy, using the Vintage Garden freebie that’s available on my digi scrapping lens.

By the way, I’ve seen so many great layouts using that freebie! I’m so glad to see that you all are enjoying it!

Here is a lovely layout from Kristin, using the new Monogram Collection:

Here is a sweet and simple layout from Franziska, using the new A Little Birdie kit:

And here’s another Little Birdie layout that’s simply stunning from Tigz:

Here is a playful layout from Kate, using the Flirty Skirty kit:

And here’s a fun layout from Jill, who used a mix of Flirty Skirty with some Grasshopper Kisses and Printed Paperie, too:

Be sure to click on these layouts and leave these girls some love for all their beautiful inspiration!

Well, I’m off to work! I’ve got lots of ideas burning in my head and I just want to dig right in and play around! Hope you all have a great day! And happy scrapping to you all!

I have two templates to share with you today! The first is for this month’s Shanty’s Ad Challenge:

And the second is for my weekly Scraplift Conversion Challenge:

The inspiration for this week’s layout came from a paper layout made by Jessy of my Creative Team! Be sure to check it out. She rocks at both paper and digi? Now that’s not fair! Ha!

I love that so many of you are joining us at the Shanty to play! Makes me smile to see you there! I think that it’s one of the most welcoming communities there is… and it just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to see my digi friends there. Thanks for coming over to play!

Have a great weekend! And, of course, happy scrapping!

The most wonderful Alice (a/k/a fa11enan9e1; yes, she’s very l33t!) has given me a little present!

You see, Alice has recently been trying her hand at making blinkies and she’s quickly become an utterly fantastic blinkie designer! She’s presented me with this, and now I want to share it with all of you! Here is my new blinkie:

If I catch you wearing it “around town” you just might find yourself the recipient of a Random Act of Kindness… ::grin::

Feel free to grab it! And if you ever need it, it will be waiting over there in the sidebar for you, too!

Thanks for being my fans!

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!

Feel free to leave a comment or e-mail me if you’d like.

Hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy scrapping!

Would you like to win a free kit from me? Quick! Run over to Andrea’s blog and leave a comment letting her know what your favorite Sugarplum kit is. One lucky winner will receive the kit her heart desires! Best of luck!

Have you heard the news? The Daily Scrapper now has it’s first edition on-line!

What is The Daily Scrapper? Well, think of it as an on-line newspaper for all things digital! This month’s Featured Designer is none other then my friend, THEFlergs! And I was also delightfully surprised to see that one of my real life friends, Erika Martin, has written an article on making your own (hybrid) embellishments for this first edition. Small world, huh?

Be sure to stop by The Daily Scrapper and check out all the fun. You just might find a little present or two hiding over there…

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!

Ah! Happy Monday! Need a little something to inspire you and get your creative juices flowing? Yup, it’s that time again! Let’s dive right in and take a look at all the beauty…

First, here is a lovely layout from the Queen of Simplicity, Tigz, using a mix of Flirty Skirty and the new Plumberry Teacakes kit:

And here is a beautiful layout from Kristin, using lots of free goodies from the shop and from my Digital Freebies lens:

Here is a bright and sunny layout (in my favorite color!) from Crystal, using Grasshopper Kisses:

And here’s another sweet layout from Sya, using some Grasshopper Kisses with a mixture of Sorbet Kisses–a very “kissy” layout!

And finally, here’s another Grasshopper Kisses layout, but this one is a hybrid layout from Jill. And she also used some paper swirls from Printed Paperie! So cool…

I just love that snapshot. Too cute!

Well, be sure to stop by and leave these girls some love for all their beautiful work! I hope they’ve inspired you to some happy scrapping. They always inspire me! [insert "wub" smilie here]
