$2 Tuesday for March 21st

Happy Tuesday! It’s hard to believe the month is over half over with. I would comment on the fact that yesterday was the first day of spring…but considering it’s still well below freezing in the mornings around here, it’s not feeling overly “springy”. The boys and I started the yearly garden clean up last week, though, in preparation for this year. Now we just need the weather to warm up, just a tad (so, above freezing, lol), and we can get some fantastic tomatoes and peppers and potatoes and other fabulous plants in the dirt and growing!
It’s Tuesday again, though, and that means another fantastic opportunity to snag some fabulous products are low prices with the $2 Tuesday sale at TheStudio

Let’s see what I have on sale this week:

“Won’t let nobody (nothing) hurt you, I’ll stand by you” seems to be a message all the more meaningful right now. Sometimes helping others means just adjusting your own life for a bit. Current events aside, have you said “You’ve got this!” recently? We are always stronger together, and whatever tomorrow brings, who will be by your side? This collection is beautiful with its bright, strong colors, perfect flairs and journal cards, and awesome grunge edges!!

I’ll Stand By You Kit includes 27 papers (9 plain, 18 patterned) and 68 elements

It’s a “no hurry, no worry!” life with a sloth as your spirit animal. A symbol of dreaming and living in your mind, those guided by the sloth spirit animal are aware of the importance of being in touch with your thoughts and your emotions.

Spirit Animal Kit includes 20 patterned papers and 63 elements

A few fantastic layouts using this week’s $2 deals

Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend! (Yeah, I missed the actual day. BUT, my boys and I were enjoying the last of their Spring Break week, so it was worth it 😉)

Happy Go Lucky is the perfect combination of St Patrick’s Day and Spring.
A little dose of luck and charm, a little bundle of springtime flowers, and enough adorable illustrations to capture your carefree memories!

Choose Love + Freebie!

These blog posts are difficult to write most days. The idea of bragging about something I’ve created, begging for you to love it as much as I do? It’s hard for me.

Love makes me giddy. Hearts and kisses and flowers and bears — the month of February is one of my favorites because the world is coated in pinks and reds and love just oozes out of my pores.

They define love as an intense feeling of deep affection. Whether that love is for a spouse, family member, friend, or pet, the Choose Love Collection will fill your heart with adoration when you set your eyes on the sweet elements & LOVEly colors included in this collection and will give you all the feels!

$2 Tuesday for January 24th

Another Tuesday, another round of fabulous $2 deals!
It’s wintertime in the US, so I’ve been focusing on winter/snow themed kits the past two weeks.
Only problem is, we don’t get a ton of snow here where I am…but I’m still trying to push myself to scrap more this year by using the $2 products each week to create a new layout. So, this week, I had to go back nearly 8 years to find some snow-themed pictures to spotlight (and oh my momma heart when I see my boys so little!!! 😢)

Let’s see what I have on sale this week:

Add a little life to your winter pages with Feeling Frosty! It’s easy to find winter kits in shades of blue, but what about those colorful winter photos? They deserve to have the excitement too! Feeling Frosty is filled with bright, fun colors that those having ‘snow’ much fun need on their layouts!
Feeling Frosty Kit includes 36 papers (12 plain, 24 patterned) in JPG format and 75 elements in PNG format

And, the Snapshots Template Pack is the perfect companion to scrap all of your snowy pictures. It’s a fantastic, photo-centered template pack perfect for all scrappers!  Includes 4 single page (12x12in) templates and 1 two page template (24x12in) included as layered PSD, TIFF, and individual PNG files.

My layout, with my adorable little boys (oh, how they’ve grown since these pictures were taken!)

These two products are only $2 each…but that price ends tonight, so don’t miss out!

$2 Tuesday for January 10th

Happy New Year…only about a week or so late. 🤷‍♀️ But, it’s ok! One of my biggest goals this year (the term ‘resolutions’ seems too strict, too narrow a path — I like to make goals for the year, and break them down into small sections, so even if I don’t complete the BIG goal, I can celebrate the small victories I do complete. Or, that’s the plan at least, lol) is to give myself more grace and patience. Allow myself to live “in the moment” a bit more, and not be so gosh-darn stressed out!
And so far, so good! The kids were home the first 3 days, my husband the first 8…which meant LOTS of family time spent at home, in our comfort zone, doing what we enjoy most…spending quality time together! LOTS of boardgames and LOTS of laughs. It was perfect!

And, it’s the perfect opportunity to use today’s $2 Tuesday deals to scrap a few end of year/start of year photos of my own!
Let’s see what I have on sale this week:

If the word ‘homebody’ resonates for you, you will ADORE this kit! Filled with all kinds of fantastic sayings that might pertain to your situation -it’s way too ‘peopley’ outside – you’ll find just the expression you are looking for! Even if you aren’t necessarily happy to be holed up within your four walls you might find that curling up with a good book, or taking a nap, or playing games or watching your favorite series is what you occupy your time with. Whatever it is, when you have nowhere to go you might have something to say, or a photo to show…and the Homebody Kit is the perfect way to show it all in style!

Sometimes our journaling tells the story of our layouts; sometimes it’s all about the pictures.
The Overloaded Template Pack, perfect for layouts with lots of photos, includes 4 layered 12×12 inch templates in PSD, TIF, and individual PNG file formats

Check out just a few of our boardgame adventures the past few weeks, using both the Homebody Kit and the Overloaded Templates (slightly altered — I had to get all of the faces into the middle picture on the right 😁):

How The Story Goes

and Scrap With Me

And then, on to this week’s fabulous NEW releases! 🙂

Being a grown-up has its perks, but man, does it also have its quirks! Paying bills, keeping up with the laundry and dishes, and the dreaded vacuuming have never been quite as fun as they are in Adulting is Hard. Full of beautiful hand drawn embellishments and scrumptious patterns in a color palette that will have you drooling for days, you’ll find the perfect words and elements that will capture your day-to-day adulting in a fun way, making your everyday memories worth remembering.

The Adulting is Hard $6 Collab Grab Bag from Blue Heart Scraps and Chere Kaye Designs includes: Full Kit (12 plain/20 patterned papers and 90 elements), 26 Flairs, 40 Ombre Papers, 10 Paint Splatters, 6 Titles, 10 Quotes (in black and colored versions), and 40 Word Bit pieces

I also have a fabulous new template pack, focusing on that one big and beautiful picture that tells the entire story

And, then my grab bag. The one I poured every ounce of my heart and soul into. Times have been tough lately, for many reasons. But, I’m working hard (according to my therapist, I’m one of her hardest workers right now) on centering my mind and spirit. And one of the ways I’m doing that is constantly reminding myself that flaws are ok and don’t steal my fabulousness from me.

Sometimes life reminds us in really BIG ways that we are not perfect. Thankfully, there are also reminders that while we may be flawed, we can still be incredibly fabulous. We need to be kind to ourselves, dust ourselves off and show the world we are strong despite our imperfections.
The beautiful color palette and stunning embellishments make documenting your Flawed and Fabulous life a joy in this new collection. You’ll find dozens of pieces that you can use over and over again that coordinate perfectly, and the word art alone will have you coming back for more.
The Flawed and Fabulous $6 Grab Bag includes: Full Kit (10 plain/20 patterned papers in JPG format, 78 elements in PNG format), 36 JPG Bonus Papers (4 patterns in 9 collection colors each), 10 Journal Cards in PNG format, 20 Flairs in PNG format, 6 Paint Grunges in PNG format, 36 Ombre Papers in JPG format, and 40 Word Bits in PNG format

And, a pack of cluster freebies, created using the Adulting Is Hard Grab Bag
