It's all about family today!

Just like the title says, it's all about family today with my new kit, {Family Ties}. That name makes me think about Alex P. Keaton - anyone else? LOL


I'm ready for some springtime around here and this kit shows it! Lots of glitter too. Have you noticed I've become a little obsessed with it lately? It's just fun to make and looks pretty. Yes, I'm easily distracted by shiny things - LOL! So, of course, I've got some coordinating glitter styles.


Also sort of new this week is a past speed scrap participation prize. A fun pack of charms and lots of attachments. VERY versatile. These attachments can be used for just about anything!


Here's some inspiration from my CT and the ScrapMatters CT as well.





Aren't they fabulous?! I'm so lucky to be associated with ScrapMatters and all the awesome people there. I just love it!

Well, now for the freebie. I don't know how many of you have been following this thread at DST but there seems to be some NASTY stuff out there at 4shared, which makes me really wary of posting a freebie. BUT, I'm absolutely positive that none of my stuff has viruses and most of the stuff you download from 4shared probably doesn't either. It's all the ads and garbage that come along with using 4shared. I also wondering if part of the problem may be all the crazy widgets people have on their blogs. Be very careful of those third party widgets (like the music players and stat counters and maps.) You have no idea what's really there. I haven't had any problems with any viruses or other junk from there but I also don't download a ton of freebies - very rarely actually. I have Vista on my laptop and that's supposed to help but I'm not positive about that. I also have the paid version of AVG, use Firefox with the No-Script and AdBlock Plus add-ons. Everything is updated several times a day and I scan my computer often. THIS IS SOMETHING WE ALL SHOULD BE DOING. Sorry for the rant, I just want to let everyone know that I will still be using 4shared (only for the lack of a better alternative - although I'm still searching for it!) and I think it's safe to use 4shared as long as you are protecting yourself. This isn't just a 4shared problem - it's an internet problem and if you are using the internet it could happen to you.

OK - on to the fun stuff. Here's a little freebie add-on for {Family Ties}.

Just click on the preview to go to 4shared. Included are 2 papers, 1 distressed wordart, 1 vellum circle, 1 ribbon tie, and another tree. I hope you enjoy it! If you do leave me a little love here on the blog - I never remember to check the comments at 4shared. Have a great day!

New Release - finally!

Now that we've all recovered from the holidays and the kids are back in school I've had some time and I finally have a new release! It feels like it's been forever! So without further ado here is:

New kit and a freebie!

I've got a new kit out today (my favorite ever!!!) Check it out:

This is my first all boy kit (I don't know what the heck took me so long!) and it's named after my super boyish little nephew, Ben. The fun worn alpha is also available separately.

Here are some pages my awesome CT made with it:

First off - here's one featuring "Ben-gyver" himself!


And one by Stacy - this one totally makes me smile!

Check out Wendy's selective coloring - so great!

I love all the paint strokes Steph used here, especially behind the alpha. Too cute!

The kit works for backyards too LOL! Love the stitched down ribbon and title here.

I love what Crystal did with the striped background paper - check out how it's turned on each side. Great idea!

I just love EVERYTHING Christy does - this page included!!!!

Thanks girlies - you are FABULOUS!!!! Well now that you've made it through all the business here's your little freebie - a Benjamin Add-on!

The freebie includes the two full size papers that are the worn papers in the full kit, 1 metal star, 1 crayon scribble star, 1 ribbon frame, and three snaps.

Oh and one last little surprise!!! Be sure to leave me a comment here on the blog so you can be entered into my drawing for a $5 coupon to my store!

Sister 2 Sister with a FREEBIE!

I've been so busy this week my poor little crafty blog has been a bit neglected. But no more! I've got a new release and a FREEBIE for you. A few months ago I was asked to teach a digital scrapbooking class at my church and the lady who asked me to teach knows I design so she asked if I could make a little kit to give away to everyone who attended the class. I thought it was a great idea, and here's the result! I ended up making it a full kit so that the ladies I taught would have lots of things to play with and experiment with. The class went well and I just hope they learned something useful.

I'm going to start put all my new releases on sale for the first three days they're released, so be sure to grab it while it's only $3.50! The alpha is also sold separately, which I think is really versatile! Great for boys too and definitely one I'll use often.

And here's some inspiration for ya from my great CT:

(Yes that's me and my sisters about a hundred years ago - WAAAAAAY before my kids came along! Look how skinny I am - eeek! The other two got the good genes and still look the same. Lucky!)

Okay, enough with the business - on to the freebie!!!

Includes 2 full 12x12 papers, 1 worn paper (.png file), 1 straight stitch, 1 polkadot patterned safety pin and one beaded heart element. Just click on the preview to be taken to 4shared. I hope you enjoy it and please leave me some love here on the blog if you download it! Thanks!

It's finally feeling like fall around here - yay! I'd much rather be cold than hot! Even had to pull out the big coats for the kiddos to go to school this morning. Hopefully it will last, even if it's just until Halloween. I hate being all hot and sweaty on Halloween - that's just wrong!!!! Have a great one!
