Invitation using Misty Cato, Melissa Bennett & SaraAmarie

These are some invitations that I made for a friend of mine for her office's staff appreciation luncheon. She always likes to have unique invitations to her staff parties. These are little gift boxes that she is going to fill with seashell shaped chocolates! I offer designs like these as part of my business. I hope she likes them. I think they turned out pretty well!

DigiScrap Stuff

First, Scrapbook-Elements is having their 4th Birthday! Most designers are having a sale. The THREE designers that I work with over there are all having sales!
Misty Cato - 25% off everything over $2
Tracey Monette - I believe hers is 25% off everything over $2 as well
Kiki Halbert - New products on sale

Second, Misty Cato has a free QuickPage on her blog today. It's one I made for her. If you like the QP (or even if you don't) check out the kit. It's gorgeous!


Third... Can I tell you that I JUST discovered the COOLEST digiscrap store! Thanks to my job at RAKScraps on the Sponsor Team, I just discovered Tangie Baxter's store. It's an amazing store with some GORGEOUS designs! Check these out! The images should be clickable. There is a also a code on the store blog for 30% off your purchase... I don't know how long the code is good for, so head over there and grab some beautiful stuff! There are GORGEOUS doodles, both in whimsical and primitive style. There are tons of designs for your altered art as well. This is a store that I will be following closely... and probably spend more money than I should there! :)





Fourth, another amazingly talented designer, Melissa Bennett, has 50% off her store until the end of March... better hurry and stock up over there!!! LOVE her new kit, Chickadee! She has some gorgeous pre-made bracket album pages that coordinate with the Basic Grey albums.


AND, speaking of bracket albums, and other shapes as well, SaraAmarie has a few new albums in her store! We have been working together to get these albums ready. It has been a delight and I have really enjoyed working with Sara. She is a complete sweetheart!




Well, I think that's enough from me for today... I am going to go do some scrapbooking instead of enabling all of you! :)

New layout to share!

My big project!!!

So, this is the project that has kept me insanely busy for the last week! :) Sweet Shoppe Designs announced today that they will be carrying Basic Grey & Maya Road shaped albums in their store! The designers flooded the store with pre-made albums produced from their favorite kits. SaraAmarie, an amazing designer who I have had the pleasure of working with for over two years now, commissioned me to create several albums for her. Here are the two that are up in the store today! These little projects are adorable! I printed off a couple of them, and am trying to get them done, but I can't find my scrapbook adhesive... that's what happens when you go digital! :) So, you can purchase the pre-made albums and the actual albums all in one place! One stop shopping! Although, you can probably find the albums cheaper at a brick & mortar store. It's pretty convenient to do it all in one place, though. Look for more of these albums to be coming soon!
