Sweet Harvest & Jailbird

It looks like this is going to be a long blog post, I've got so much to show you!

First my Zoo Day kit was featured in the DSA Enabler this month. I could not be happier about what they have done with the kit. The girls on the DSA team did an amazing job!! Thank you so much ladies! If you don't subscribe, you should. They have so many inspirational ideas every month and there are TONS of coupons included from a bunch of designers as well. Take a look HERE.

I'm so excited to introduce my two new kits to you, Jailbird and Sweet Harvest. I love both, and I hope you will too! Both kits are available at my guest store at Scrap Orchard and are 20% off for Fresh Fruit Friday.

I have so many photos where my children are upset, or grouchy. Or they are totally over me being the paparazzi for the day. I'm also one of those moms who runs to grab the camera for every messy moment. The most recent were some photos I snapped after Ashley was kind enough to apply mascara to Sophie's eyelashes...and face, and hair and clothes. I figure what's done is done, so I might as well document the fallout right? :) Jailbird is exactly the kind of kit to scrap those types of photos.

I'm offering a blog exclusive coupon for you to pick up Jailbird for 35% off through the weekend. Enjoy!

I feel so honored to have had the opportunity to collab with Tracie Stroud at the Scrap Orchard. I really enjoyed working with Tracie. She's so sweet and I really love her design style. We created a kit called Sweet Harvest. It's 20% off in the Fresh Fruit and for this weekend only, you get the Sweet Harvest Quick Pages FREE with your purchase of the kit!

Sneak Peeks

EDITED** The winners of this contest have been announced HERE. Thanks so much to everyone who participated!

I have two kits coming out this Friday for my guest spot at Scrap Orchard. I'm so excited about both of them!

This first one I've been thinking about doing since I first started designing. I had more fun making this kit than any kit I've ever done before. I laughed all the way through. I absolutely love how it turned out!

This second kit is a collaboration with an amazing designer from Scrap Orchard. I love her style and I feel like it really works with my own style. This kit is sweet and fun and will work for so many different layouts.

I'll be debuting these kits tomorrow night and of course I'll show them off here. :)

If you want a chance to win one of them for free, just post a comment HERE on my blog. I'll give away one copy of each kit to 2 people tomorrow evening (Nov 19). Just make sure to let me know which kit you want to win! Good luck!!!

Guest spot and New stuff!

I'm so excited to spend the next month HERE as a guest designer at Scrap Orchard! It's one of my very favorite stores!

I was super lucky to get the chance to work on a collab kit with Faith True. She is a super sweetie and really fun to work with. Since we are both dog lovers, we created this big fun dog kit and named it Toby & Cracker after our doggies. You can pick it up for 20% off HERE at the Scrap Orchard Friday as part of the Fresh Fruit! Plus, if you add the Toby & Cracker QPs to your cart, you'll get them for free with purchase of the kit!

I love to use white papers when I scrap. But it seems like they are rarely added to kits. So I have created a whole pack of Basic(ally) Whites and you can grab them for 20% off as well. Plus, for my blog readers, you can use this coupon code to grab an extra 30% off through the weekend.

Nee Nee created a hybrid calendar using my 2010 Calendar and I love it so much that I had to show it off to you. She has a tutuorial for it on her blog HERE. Thanks so much Nee Nee!!! I love this and I'm totally planning on copying yours to do mine!

I have just finished working on another collab with another one of the talented Orchard Girls! I'll post a sneak peak and maybe a little contest to win a free copy of the kit next week. Have an awesome weekend!

2010 Calendar & a Sneak

I went into a grocery store today and can anyone guess what I saw? Yep, Christmas decorations. CRAZY! It seems like it starts earlier and earlier every year.

I am starting my grandparent gifts early this year so that I won't be scrambling to finish them at the last minute like I usually am. I'm printing out cute 2010 calendars with their grandchildren's photos in them. Mel created some gorgeous pages for me, and they are really perfect for holiday gifts! I'm printing one out for myself as well.

You can snag these brag book sized calendar pages HERE. It takes just minutes to place your own photos and print. Easy peasy! I've marked them at 50% off for DSD. So grab them before the weekend is over to catch them at this price.

2010 Calendar

I have a fun fall kit coming out on Friday. You can't see them in this sneak but there are some cute little critters in it. And I'll be putting it out for a really great price for DSD through the weekend. This is actually a companion to another kit I released recently. Any guesses which kit?

I'm feeling gifty today so how about a drawing? I'll give out copies of this kit to two random blog commenters. I'll choose the winners Thursday night (Nov 5). Good luck!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! We are getting ready to carve jack-o-lanterns, and that is always a favorite activity of mine at Halloween! Before I run I thought I'd rush off a little post.

I have been working really hard at some new designs including a couple of collabs. I haven't been able to show off any of them since they will be released during a guest spot at one of my favorite stores starting November 15. Any guesses which store? :)

I do have a couple of new products coming out next week including a fun fall mini and another item that will be awesome for creating some quick holiday gifts. I've already started working on mine for grandparent gifts. I'll post a little sneak peak for you, but you can look for these to come out next Tuesday.

I have put my Trick or Treat kit on a great sale through the end of the month. If you haven't picked it up yet, you should do it now! It's at a really great price.

I'm leaving you with a fun Halloween template. It's a little different, but I think it will make some fun Halloween pages! Have a great holiday! :)
