Catching Up - New Kits and Sale

My apologies for not keeping up on the blog.  Sometimes real life takes precedence over virtual life! :-)  Because I have been neglectful, there is a lot of catching up to do!

Through the new year, I will be having a 50% off sale at both myHeritage Scrap shop and my Faith Sisters shop.   Happy shopping and scrapping!  Now for my recent kits:





Winter Song is found here (FS) and here (HS) and was designed for the December 2010 My Sweet Song Challenge - The Perfect Gift at Faith Sisters.  The kit is filled with both musical and wintery, snowy elements and backgrounds with a touch of glitter in near neutral tones.  Here are some of my layouts created with this:

This is my wonderful Hubby and me on our wedding day, almost 12 years ago.  The lyrics are from the hymn we chose for congregational singing during our wedding.

This layout features a picture of my brother and I with our Daddy during the winter of 1968.  My brother was a year old and this was his first snow!  I should also mention that the ad above was created with this kit too.

Winter Wilderness is Heritage Scrap's December Designer Collaboration kit and there are some really beautiful kits.  You can see  my portion above.  I had so much fun making that plaid background that by the time I was done, I wanted to have a blouse made out of it! :-)  Winter Wilderness is designed to work with all your outdoor winter activities as well as your indoor get togethers.  I surely miss living where I could walk out in the woods in the snow!

In the past I have put some word art and title pieces in with kits but this is my first actual word art package.  It was really fun to create and is designed to help you journal and document your family traditions and your love of family and home.  You can find it at both Faith Sisters and Heritage Scrap.

This layout uses a title from the word art package and also my Holiday Baking kit which I released last November at Heritage Scrap and just loaded into my store at Faith Sisters.  It's fun for all your holiday baking and would work well for cookbooks, recipe cards and kitchen gifts.

More updates coming soon!

2008 Snow

This was a fun layout to do because it is totally different than my usual. This is using Jen Ulasiewicz' "Primative Christmas" kit and her tree bark alpha. My best friend Shelley sent me the pictures via email because she knew how homesick I am! The pictures make me want to be there even more. Of course now it's raining and melting and slushy and gray. But, one can always dream!

Snow

Well, with all those Christmas kits and layouts, I needed a break from the traditional red and green, so I tried out my Winter Wonderland Collaborative kit from Faith Sisters. Since purple is my favorite color, this was a fun break. I love all the snow papers out there right now, but unfortunately have very few snow pictures to scrap. Where I live it hasn't snowed since the 40s!

I used a button from Gretchen Tripp's contribution, a frame from Eressea Design and most of Paula Phillips' contribution to the collaborative. The font is CK Windsong (Creating Keepsakes).

December Bride

You'll be tired of seeing our faces soon as I seek to find the perfect layout to commemorate our ten years together. This one is made from Kate McClellan's gorgeous Victorian Valentine papers in Le Creme and Le Rouge at Heritage Scrap. The poinsettias, evergreen branches and frame come from Lynn Griffin's Holiday Home, also from Heritage Scrap.

Happy Birthaversary Mom!

Well, I've been working hard to get this blog up and running in time to post this as a "birthaversary surprise" for my Mom who celebrates her birthday and her anniversary on December 12th. I missed it by 14 minutes! But I love you Mom! I love you Jack! And I wish you many more happy years together! I had fun creating this page from Teri Hanson's beautiful A Winter's Day kit. The letters are from the Christmas Pearl Alpha Pack Plus.
