Stacked Paper Fun

Don’t you just love stacked papers??? I know I do! In an instant you can have a whole layout all finished that looks put together and polished!!

How do you used stacked papers? Easy! You’ve got a great multi-layer background the moment you open the stacked paper file. Then just add your frames, photos and any additional elements and voila, you’ve got a finished layout that only took moments to create!

The best part is that all Blue Heart Scraps Stacked paper sets match fabulous kits in the store! So you can easily find great coordinating elements to add to your stacked paper!! But even if you don’t have the full kit, stacked paper sets are a great investment! It’s like having the full kit at your fingertips and all you have to do is add your photos and your layout is complete. How easy is that?

Now that you’re all excited to try some stacked papers, hurry over to Gingerscraps and pick up a few of Blue Heart Scraps stacked paper sets. You won’t want to miss these great value pages that allow you to be creative in a matter of moments!

Tuesday Treats Freebie Time!

Hehehe, I almost forgot today’s Tuesday.  I know that probably sounds bad, but I blame it on the long weekend.  My oldest was out of school Friday for a teacher’s work day and then out of school yesterday for President’s Day.  And while I certainly enjoyed our four day weekend – it did mess up my schedule just a bit.

Either way, I do come bearing a beautiful freebie for your Tuesday Treat today.  This gorgeous cluster freebie was made by Michelle using the My Cake Day Bundle pack (which is one of my most favoritest kits ever!  And, yes, favoritest is totally a word, lol).

Want to pick the My Cake Day Bundle up?  Then use the coupon code cake40off  to save 40% off through the end of the month!

My Love & Freebie

I’m breaking up the Love/Hate Grab Bag Collab between Sanko Studios and I today and putting my portions in the store separately.  I’m excited about it, too, because I adore the mini kit I created for it.  My Love is a bright, fun mini kit – and I have a matching alpha pack and stacked paper pack to go with it.  And, they’re all 25% off this weekend!  🙂

A few layouts from my talented CT girls and the CT girls at GingerScraps:

And what’s a new release without a gorgeous freebie to match it, right?  Michelle was kind enough to turn her gorgeous layout into a QP freebie for all of you!  🙂

Beautiful, right?

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!  🙂

Tuesday Treats Freebie & Valentine’s Day Sale!

Happy Valentine’s Day!  Hope you’re day is full of lots of love and scrapping – because what better day to scrap our beautiful memories of those we love than on the designated day of love!?  To help you celebrate the right way, I’m having a sale!  🙂

Plus, I’m starting a special feature on the blog this week called Tuesday Treats.  Each Tuesday, I’ll share a freebie with you – could be one that coordinates with my new release, a template, or a freebie coordinating with one of my older (but still much loved) kits.  Either way, it’s a free goodie for you to download and enjoy – my way of saying thanks for visiting and reading and being a fan.  🙂

Today’s freebie is a word art piece that one of my lovely CT members, Francine, made to coordinate with my newest release, LOVEly Day.  Isn’t it CUTE? 🙂

Download Here

I love offering freebies to all of you – but I do think it takes a little bit of communication on your part to make sure that I’m offering the types of things you want to download.  So, please drop me a comment below and let me know what type of Tuesday Treats freebies YOU would like to see offered here on the blog.  I might just pick someone out of the comments to earn a special coupon to my store, so comment, comment, comment!  🙂

LOVEly Day Bundle, a Freebie, and a Winner!!

I’m going to keep this as short and sweet as I can.  The germs seem to be running rampant in my house right now, and I don’t want to share them with any of you (plus, I have a tendency to literally ‘talk’ some why I’m typing…I think it helps my brain process my thoughts better.  Anyway, talking leads to cough, and I’m tired of coughing, lol).

I do have a gorgeous new release today, though, that I just HAD to show you all – and the layouts my CT gals (and the CT gals for GingerScraps) created with it, which are sure to blow your socks off.  They absolutely rocked this kit, and I’m so proud of it – and them!!! 🙂

LOVEly Day lets you celebrate the spirit of love this Valentine’s Day with a color palette that’s a bit out of the box – but sure to make your layouts stand out from the rest!

But I couldn’t just stop with the kit.  I’ve also got a matching alpha pack:

and a matching stacked paper set:

Each pack above is on sale right now for 25% off — or, you can buy the bundled pack and save even more!

I’m sure quite a few of you are already sold on the awesomeness of the kit (and bundle pack!).  But if there happens to be any doubt in your mind that this is a kit you don’t want to miss, just check out these GORGEOUS layouts and hybrids created by my CT gals and the store CT for GingerScraps.  But, be prepared to fall in love, because I know I sure did!  🙂

See, I told you they were gorgeous!  And someone is going to win a copy of the kit for free (I love this part of the new release posts!)  🙂  Thanks for all of the comments and shares and tweets for Wednesday’s Sneak Peek post.

I let Random.org pick a winner (because otherwise, I’d be tempted to just give everyone a free copy, lol), and the lucky winner is:

A huge congrats to photom!  I’ll be in contact with you later today with a coupon code to pick up LOVEly Day for free.  🙂  To the rest of you, sorry you didn’t win – but be sure to check back each Wednesday for a chance to win my next new release!

And, last but not least, a cluster freebie for you – made by one of my wonderful CT gals, Michelle, that coordinates with the LOVEly Day kit.  🙂

Love/Hate Relationship Collab Grab Bag & CT Call!

If February is known for one thing, it’s Valentine’s Day.  Stores are stocked with all things lovey-dovey and super mushy.  And that can be wonderful!  For those head over heels in love, or quietly enjoying a long and lasting relationship, this designated day of love is anxiously anticipated.  But for those who don’t have a special one to celebrate the day with, it can be a bit of a downer to constantly be reminded of the heartbreaks they’ve experienced.  And, today?  I’ve got the perfect new goodies for all of you – whether this month is about love or hate, my newest collab grab bag wth Sanko Studio is sure to satisfy your scrapping needs.

The collab bag comes packed with two mini kits (each having 10 papers, 20 elements), a 4 template pack and alpha pack (3 alphas with uppercase, lowercase, numbers and some punctuation) – all for just $4!

The collab grab bag  will only be available February 3rd through 16th, though – after that, the grab bag will be split and Sanko Studio and I will place the full-priced products into our individual stores (Sanko Studio is available at Scrapable), so be sure to grab the collab grab bag while the price is right.

We’ve tried to leave a bit of surprise about what all is included, but maybe these gorgeous layouts will give you a better peak at what you’ll be getting:

Very, very pretty, right?  🙂

I’ve been blessed with some incredibly talented (and wonderfully sweet!) creative team members, that I get to work with week after week to spark creativity and see my products put to good use.  And now I’m looking to add even MORE wonderful ladies to my team!  Would you be interested in working with me and my spectacular girls?  Then get your application email in now!  🙂

I look forward to hearing from you soon!  )
