Store Closing

Unfortunately, due to some difficulties, the site where my store is located is closed. If I had been a better shopkeeper I might be upset, but as it is I am relieved. I'm sorry to those of you whom I've let down by not keeping up this blog or my store, and mostly I'm sorry that I let myself down by not making the most of the opportunities that were given to me. This past year in my non-scrapbooking life has been a wild ride, and I just wasn't able to give my hobby the time that it required. I hope you all understand. Anyway, I probably won't be doing anything with this blog, at least for a while. I still plan to scrap my own stuff, so maybe I'll see you around the digital neighborhood. Thanks to all for your support!

I'm back!

I had no intention of completely ignoring scrapbooking for 2 months while I was back in the States, but that's what happened. Other than missing my favorite hobby and the people that I interact with here on the web, it's been great. :) We did so much this summer it was ridiculous, I mean, wonderful. Here's a layout to show you what I mean:

I based the layout on one in the August issue of Creating Keepsakes by Amanda Probst. I made the tag and the "and here" stickers. The little man is a clipart from Word. The papers are from A. Rockwell's MojoMon freebie (sorry she doesn't have a TOU and that's all the info I have.) The fonts are Franklin Med, Franklin Bold, Mom's Typewriter and MA Sexy.

And, you didn't think I would do all that without making a template, did you? :) Here it is! The file also contains the We Were Here tag if you want that without the template. It's a two-pager, by the way, but I didn't separate it into two pages. I ran out of patience....

Download the We Were Here template here.

Better late than never!

I haven't designed anything new since I've been home, but I did take some time this morning to make a little freebie for you all. It's a desktop that I made using my Joyful Summer kit. The download includes both widescreen and regular formats.

Download the desktop here.

Template Tuesday!

I'm having such a good time in the States. There's so much that I didn't even realize that I missed. Most of all, it's good to be at my parents' house. This morning, my dad and I sat on the porch and ate breakfast together. You can't do that in Doha!

Here is my newest scrapbook page. I made it with my Summer Smoothie kit and the template below.

Download Template #56 here.

Freebie Friday

I posted this freebie already this week, but I don't think many people noticed it because I wasn't very clear in the post that there was a freebie, and since the link was to my shop, it wasn't picked up by digi-free. So, here it is again, an add-on to my Lone Star kit. Enjoy! :)

Download the Lone Star add-on here.

Be sure to check out my last post. There's a coupon at the bottom! :)

Drumroll please!

I have a big announcement! I've been so excited to tell you guys, but I wanted to wait until it was all official. Drumroll please ................. I am the newest designer at Scrap Professor! I have all my new products uploaded into my shop, but since there's not all that many I'd like to share them with you here, too. :)

Here are my template sets:

My first template set is called Stars and Strips :) and the focus is exactly that, paper strips and all kinds of stars. You'll love these templates, I promise! This is the preview for the complete set, but you can also buy the templates in packs of 4. Of course, when you buy the complete set, the price is discounted. :)

This is my second set of templates, Swirls and Whirls. I just love swirly-thingies on my layouts, and I've done all the hard work of erasing the bits and pieces that you wouldn't want showing for you. I plan to make more templates in this style, so stay tuned. :)

Also, all of my templates that I am selling in my shop now have PNG's for those of you who need them. :) Additionally, I've changed my TOU to include S4H/S4O. As always, if you have any questions about anything regarding my products, please email me; I'd love to help you out.

Now, here are my new kits:

First is a mini-kit, that I really do think is darling, Darling Daisy. Doesn't it make you feel happy? :) And, this mini-kit has a mini-pricetag. :)

Here's the kit that I teased you with last week, Isn't It Romantic? I know it kind of looks like Valentine's Day, but it could be used for all kinds of pages and projects. All of the papers are heavily grunged. My favorite part of this kit is the envelope and old paper. But, I'm also kind of partial to the polka-dot paper flower with the eyelet center. :)

When you buy Isn't It Romantic, you also get this coordinating alpha FREE!

This next kit is yummy! Summer Smoothie was one of my favorite things to work on so far. It does include some "fruity" elements and papers, but there's also a lot of neutral items. I think you'll love this kit. :)

And, when you buy Summer Smoothie, you get this alpha FREE! :)

This kit just says summer to me. I love the fresh colors, and I had a lot of fun creating the papers. You'll love the graphic style of this kit. You can also buy separate element and paper packs if you prefer.

While I wasn't intending to create a tribute to Texas, I was stumped on a name for this kit and my husband suggested Lone Star and it stuck. :) I just love the colors in this kit. It'd be great for all kinds of projects. I hope it sparks your creativity like it has mine. :)

And, if you buy Lone Star, you get the coordinating chipboard alpha FREE! :)

I couldn't seem to stop playing with this kit, so I've created a little add-on freebie for you. You do need to be logged in to download this freebie, but you do not need to add it to your cart. Enjoy! :) (Click image to go to download.)

And, just for you, because you read all the way to the end of this post, I have a coupon for 10% off your order from my store. Coupon code: TEBlog Hurry! The coupon expires on July 22nd. :)
