Tuesday Treats Freebie!

Vacation is over (had a blast – everyone should take a cruise some time in their life…I’m hoping this is just our first, lol), but man I’m so incredibly behind on everything!  I almost feel like I deserve a vacation to get over the vacation we just enjoyed! 🙂

Did you enjoy all of the fun and festivities during GingerScraps’ Christmas In July celebration?  I didn’t get to spend quite as much time chatting with everyone as I had hoped (our social calendar was pretty booked this weekend), but I know that much fun was had!  My portion of the GingerScraps Christmas In July Facebook Hop is still available for download on the Blue Heart Scraps Facebook Page if you haven’t snagged it yet.  You might have to scroll down on the page just a bit, but I promise you, it’s there and ready for you to grab and enjoy.  🙂

And, like most every Tuesday, I come bearing a new freebie ready for you to enjoy! 🙂 This adorable Facebook Timeline Cover, created using my newer release By The Campfire, is perfect for those who love to camp…which they had the chance to camp now and then…or just dream of being stuck in a remote area all alone with nothing by the peace and quiet of nature to lull them to sleep at night.  😉

Layout Spotlight: Sunshine and Rain(bows)!

Good morning everyone! I had to check the date on the computer, I didn’t believe it was Thursday already. How the time gets away from us so quickly, I’ll never know. Yesterday was INSANE! but in a great way, it started the Christmas in July extravaganza at GingerScraps: so many chats, prizes, fun, yay!

Let’s get back to business, I’m here to share with you a beautiful layout, that I keep coming back to so I can’t ignore it any longer. I MUST share it. Sunshine and Rain(bows) by Michelle (MSPeeler)

I absolutely love this layout. Everything about it. The photo is beautiful and silly all at once. The muted tone of the photo, the bright bold colors of the papers stacked at the bottom and her little cluster is just enough to make this page outstanding in my opinion. Love love love it! Michelle used one of Blue Heart Scraps Across The Line Templates 

along with that she used Blue Heart Scraps Sunshine and Rain kit

Again, I absolutely love this kit. The papers alone are a must have, not to mention the fun fun fun elements!

Don’t forget to go leave some love for Michelle in her gallery– she has so many lovely layouts including this one!

Remember, if YOU want to be featured here all you have to do is do what you’re already doing (that’s a lot of do’s)! Keep creating those fantastic layouts (using Blue Heart Scraps products of course!), upload them to Blue Heart Scraps Gallery and whambam-you’re welcome! I love looking at all the pages in JoyLynn’s gallery and I know she does too! I can’t wait to see even more gorgeous layouts during the Christmas in July event(which you can find out more information by clicking here)!

Hope everyone has a GREAT Thursday and a happy scrappy weekend to come!

Tuesday Treats Freebie!

I’ve shared a few freebies with my Check Out Collab with Luv Ewe Designs lately, because that collab is awesome and adorable and totally worth sharing great freebies from.  BUT!  That is not our only collab.  We also have the Owie Collab, which I may just love a little bit MORE than the Check Out Collab.

I’m quite accident prone…so any randomly picked day in my life could mean a handful or more of random bumps, bruises and cuts (I mean, it takes talent to walk into a wall…or cut your thumb up on a cheese grater, after all, lol! *sigh*).  Hopefully you’re not as clumsy as I am, but if you are…and there are layouts to be created with your bumps and bruises and cuts?  The Owie Collab is PERFECT! 🙂

It’s FRIDAY! Or as I like to call it, NEWFUNSTUFF DAY! 🙂

JoyLynn is on her way home from her splendiferous vacation so I get to bring you this AWESOME new release! By the Campfire is a super fun kit for all your campy layouts, whether in the woods or your own backyard it’s a perfect match for whatever adventure story you have. It’s also 25% OFF this weekend, so WIN! I’m seriously lovin’ this kit. I don’t even go camping (ew bugs!) but I’m brainstorming as I write this on how I can pitch a tent in the living room! HA!

Check out these absolutely adorable coordinating add-ons too! Each also 25% OFF!

Not only is this a crazy cute campy kit set, but I foresee keeping it at hand for the impending Autumn season. LOVE those warm colors, and I know, I know, it’s the middle of Summer, how can I even think of Autumn right now? Well, I can, because it’ll be here before we know it! 😀

Before I leave you to run to the store, check out these fantastic layouts created by the ever amazing Blue Heart Scraps CT!

Have a scrappy Friday! 🙂

Layout Spotlight: Brrrrr!

It’s the middle of July, the temperature and dew points are breaking records throughout the Midwest (where I call home) so naturally, being so OVER Summer, I’m anxiously awaiting Winter. Yeah, you read that right. I’m a northern girl, I want my cold weather and snow falling. Now that I’m daydreaming about three feet of snow and icicles framing my windows, when I came upon this layout by Lynette (LLPoh1 in the forum) titled: First time in snow, I knew I wanted to share it with everyone.

I love how the background paper strips make it look almost like a wrapped present! LOVE that. I love all the blues, the snowflakes and the little scarf/mittens/hat elements. Her photos of the moment captured are positively adorable.

Lynette used Blue Heart Scraps Winter Chill kit. 

I know, I know, It’s far from Winter, right?! WRONG! Sure, it’s July, sure snow is the last thing on your mind- but let me remind you that you could get this kit NOW …while it’s 50% OFF (yup, FIFTY PERCENT) and have it ready and waiting for you when those first few flakes start to fall. 😉

Which reminds me, to remind you, that Blue Heart Scraps WHOLE STORE is on sale for 50% OFF but ONLY for TWO MORE DAYS! So many CAPS, but I assure you it’s imperative to make my point. 😉

p.s. for anyone who’s waaaaay down here still reading, GOOD FOR YOU! Keep your eyes on the store because she’s got a SUPER CUTE new release coming tomorrow! I can’t tell you any more..shhhh… 😉

Tuesday Treats Freebie!

Some freebies and beautiful…some are fun…and sometimes, they are perfect for the current situation.  Today’s freebie, is a little of all three! 🙂

I am currently chilling and relaxing, enjoying my beautiful vacation (at least, I hope so!) – sailing across the beautiful water somewhere around the shores of the Bahamas.  That means I’m also currently teetering on being totally broke, since this has proven to be quite the expensive vacation, lol.

So what better freebie to share while I’m off spending all of my money?  A freebie centered around the idea of SAVING money, of course! 🙂  This adorable coupon-themed freebie was created using the Check Out Collab with Luv Ewe Designs.

Be sure to download and ‘save’ the freebie and then create a beautiful layout all about the money you love to ‘save’! 🙂

Layout Spotlight! &SALE!

Good morning friends!

I am going to share with you some more of the layouts created with the template from our Blog Template Challenge – WHICH by the way ends in 4 days! So I should hope you’re all hard at work on your own layouts. 😉 Remember, just by snagging this freebie template and using (100%) Blue Heart Scraps products you’re entered to win $7 to her store! WHICH (again, it’s so important it’s all CAPs) is so much amazing you just don’t know yet… just wait until I’m done sharing this fantastic layouts with you, you’ll see…

Alright! Layout time! Enough of my jabbering. Here is the template everyone used:

And here are the super lovely layouts created using said template!

By Missi

By Jenny

By Beth

By Robin

By Michelle

Each layout is linked directly to the wonderful scrapper’s gallery, please go show them the love!  I’m pretty much in love with all of the layouts. I couldn’t just spotlight one, and maybe YOU needed some inspiration! 😉  One thing I LOVE about templates in general? That half a dozen people can create a layout using the same template and it doesn’t feel like they’re all the same. Because every single one is different in SOME way.

Gosh, I just LOVE templates.

I also love sales. Say what? You heard me! 😉

I’ve GOT to tell you about Blue Heart Scraps Vacation Celebration Sale! It’s insane(ly AWESOME)!

From now until the 20th, her ENTIRE store is 50% OFF!

Uhm, AWESOME, I know!

So, now here’s the kicker- her store is 50% OFF RIGHT NOW, if you enter our little template challenge AND WIN (winner picked on the 17th) just IMAGINE all the goodies you could stock up on!

Again I ask, what are you waiting for! 😀 Get to scrappin’!

Tuesday Treats Freebie!

Happy Tuesday morning!  Things are quite crazy and hectic and out of control around here this morning.  We’re heading off on our family vacation tomorrow morning, so today I’m running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to make sure I have everything organized and cleaned and washed and packed and ready to go.  We don’t take a ton of big vacations, so I’m not one of those with several super organized packing lists (mainly because I wouldn’t know what to put on them, lol)…so I’m probably stressing myself out more than necessary because of it.  Oh well, there shall be fun had by all. I’m demanding it, lol.  🙂

Before we head off, though, I have to share this adorable freebie with you!  Created using my Super Awesome You kit (which was inspired by YOU, my Super Awesome fans), this banner cluster is adorable!  Banners are certainly a hit around the digiscrap stores, and a fun and easy addition to make any layout pop!
