Coming soon to SBE!

I can't resist. I have to put this here and tease you all just a little. I've got a new kit coming to Scrapbook-Elements.com that is a different style for me. I stretched out a bit, and created this new one...Flutterby. I'll be posting layouts to show off the kit later this week.

More CT Layouts!

More lovely work from my CT members. I couldn't just stop with a few of them. Here are some more:

Aren't they lovely? I really appreciate my creative team members. I just love to see how they are going to use my products. I'm also still looking for guests, so take a look a few posts back and apply! My requirements are very flexible. Use one kit or many...it's up to you.

Tomorrow you'll see my latest in the Watercolour series, Through the Grapevine. I love doing these watercoloured papers. This week, I'm also going to be scrapping my heart out using the kits from the designers I CT for, like Miki Ferkul and Dianne Rigdon. I have so much scrapping to do!

And I'm pleased as punch to be invited to be a guest for Sugarplum Paperie's Nicole Seitler in February. That will be so much fun. I love the simple elegance of her kits. It's easy to do the minimalist layouts with her stuff and look elegant rather than just empty.

So I hope you all have a safe holiday period. Drop by again during the holidays for a few little treats here on my blog. You never know what little gifts await!

A Snowy Day with a Cherry on Top!

Well, we managed to miss Snowmaggedon. It passed just South-West of here, so we only got about 15 centimetres. Go figure. And today is a gloriously sunny day, but as is typical of this area, when it's sunny, it's a biting cold day. I mean feel your nose hairs freeze the moment you step out of the door kind of day. So while I hunkered down in my warm apartment this weekend, I worked on some more watercoloured papers. Here are my latest, Cherries Jubilee.

As sweet as its name, the "Cherries Jubilee" paper pack is a beautiful addition to your scrapbook stash. With subtle texture and marbled beauty, this pack features eight papers in gorgeous hues of purples, violets, tans and creams. Great for heritage, romantic and many other pages, you'll love the sweetly delicious "Cherries Jubilee".

I hope you enjoy them!

My CT really rock!

I'm going to take the next few days to show you what my amazing CT members have been up to! I really love their enthusiasm and spirit. I'm truly blessed.

New wintery goodness at PDW!

There's some new wintery goodness at Plain Digital Wrapper today. And it's on sale. Winter has hit this part of the country and we are well under a blanket of white. So what's a gal to do except make the best of it, and use it as inspiration. So I've done some beautiful shimmer snowflakes for you. These are large snowflakes that you can use as is on paper, to give a glittery addition to your layout, or you can reduce them in size for a subtle effect.

And here's Winter Wonderland. These papers are great for creating stacked backgrounds. There are 7 scenes in all, and with your purchase you receive the full 12X12 jpg format, and the worn pngs, shown in the preview.

I know that you'll love them for all your outdoor layouts this winter.

Now, I'm also having a guest CT call for January through April. The requirements are very simple. Just send me your name, a link to your largest gallery, and tell me how many layouts you can do a month. That's it. Pretty simple stuff.
