Sara — Fri, 03 May 2013 12:20:05 +0000

So (inter)National Scrapbook Day is kinda a big deal around here. The official date is May 4, BUT the fun starts right now. First I have two new products in my store this week.

These are the inspiration for my new Facebook Fan freebie! You can grab these two full size ribbons at my Facebook page.

Next you need to know about the iNSD Party going on over at Scrapable! We have a whole weekend of fun (and by fun I mean freebies and sales) for you! We have a Facebook Hop (separate from the freebie I mentioned above!) and two sales: $1 sale on Saturday and a 50% store wide sale on Sunday!

Come join me and the other Divas at Scrapable for a great weekend celebrating (inter)National Scrapbook Day!

Its been an interesting New Year so far! I have been trying to switch to a new website server and I think it is finally moved over (and the download links should work now!). After teetering around 1000 and 998 fans for more than a week I figured it was past time to get the new freebie kit live for you guys. So here it is, “Dear Heart” is brightly colored and has lots of fun little elements.

To grab the full kit you will have to go over to Facebook (just click the image above or here), but here on the blog I have two free coordinates ~ Photoshop Styles and a pack of Embossed Papers.

Sara — Wed, 02 May 2012 14:22:42 +0000

As promised I have a new kit for you today called “Little Bird”. I was so happy with the way this kit turned out. I wanted something “earthy” with a bird theme and I love it! I hope you do too!

This kit includes 20 papers (6 cardstocks and 14 patterned papers) and 44 unique elements (50 total). The colors are muted red, gray, navy, brown, olive and cream. Here are the matching extras and a money-saving bundle.

I have a bunch of inspiring layouts with this kit because I’m hosting several guests in my creative team this month. They all did a great job with this kit!
