New templates and a chance to win!

2012-02-16T22:57:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I haven's posted here since the last blog train but I have some new templates and I wanted to introduce them to you. It's another set of Winter Flavors called Chocolate Mint. I have to be honest chocolate mint is not my favorite flavor when it comes to eating but it's one of my husband's favorites and he suggested it to me as a title for this set. All of them were made after pages scrapped by me already so they have been tested :) My CT also did a fabulous job with them as always.

Solos and a Freebie

2011-09-29T22:39:00.000-07:00

Hello scrapping friends! I really enjoyed making the Solos templates last time so I have a a new pack today. Just a reminder, the Solos series is designed for single photo layouts and allows space for lots of journaling if desired. However, you are not limited to single photo pages, if you are inspired to add more I am sure they will still look fantastic.
Solos, Part 2 is in the store today at 20%off. The sale will continue throughout the weekend. I hope you enjoy this set.

And of course this preview is not complete with some wonderful inspiration by my talented Creative Girls.

Almost Summer!

2011-06-10T11:28:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, summer is almost here and I decided to start a new series of templates called Summer Flavors. When I think of summer I can almost taste the sweetness of water melon and feel the tangy lemonade on my lips. So, the different tastes of summer have inspired me to create these templates and I hope they'll inspire you as well. They are going to be fun and colorful and as always versatile so you'll be able to use them on any project your heart desires. So let me introduce to you the first one in the series: Summer Flavors: Pina Colada (yes, after the famous cocktail but personally I prefer it as a lolly-pop flavor):

And a couple of beautiful layout by my CT:

So here is the new pack Spring Blooms, Part 1.

Hello friends! If you are like me you are not done with your Christmas shopping and you are frantically trying to finish up. No matter how much I plan I always end up stressing out the last few days. Oh well, that's life.
Anyway, I have a new set of templates this week. I started a new series even though I am not done with the Honey Pots and there will be more in the future. But I wanted something specifically for the winter. I was looking at my winter kits stash and all the fun snow pictures I have and was inspired to create this new set Snowflake Clusters. Here is a preview of the first pack Snowflake Clusters, Part 1

And here is a chance for you to win $10 to my store. Link this post to your facebook or blog and leave me a comment here with the link. I'll come back on Monday and pick a few winners depending on how many people post.
