Gift Cards...

Do you have a few last minute gifts on your list? When I have some last minute gifts, a gift card goes a long way...and I made this gift card holder using Diamond Ink Design's Country Holiday. I originally made this to give a gift to a friend, but my printer was out of yellow ink, so, needless to say, it didn't turn out quite right, but I've received permission from Sarah (Diamond Ink Designs) to share this gift card holder with you all.

Instructions are included in the zip.

New Products

A new month means a new collab kit, free to you with only a $5 purchase in the store. This month, we went with a holiday theme.

His and Hers Christmas

There are a ton more previews in the shop, so please go take a look. This is what I made.

And my grab bag has been unpackaged and is now available in the store as individual products.

From Happy Scrap Girl

So, this weekend, Happy has a new kit out. It's a collab with Mye De Leon and it's for all of your baking needs...

this is what I made,

and you can see the kit here.

And, when I was getting ready to scrap with the kit, I realized, I hadn't ever used some other products from Happy from last month, so I made this layout too. I love her Happy Place Alpha.

It's a black friday grab bag!!

I've never been a Black Friday shopper. Seriously, I can't even remember ever going out as a kid. As an adult, it didn't change much, however my husband and I have found that it's a great day to go grocery shopping. But I still get a thrill out of seeing the deals, even if I don't want to go after them. In fact, this year, I'm excited to know that I am done shopping except for a few extended family gifts, the dogs, and stockings. Not too shabby in my opinion.

So, in case you like the Black Friday deals too, here is a Black Friday grab bag. For only $5.


I don't have any examples, it's been a little busy around the house getting ready for T-day and all. But you don't want to miss it.

Where has November gone? (part 4)

And here it is. November's monthly collab. Designed to bring peace into this hectic time of the year.

And don't forget...it's yours...for free...with a $5 purchase from the store. There have been oodles of goodies going in. Go take a look. I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.

This is what I made.

Where has November gone?

So November is going way too fast. I actually haven't been scrapping a ton. Too much other stuff going on. First, I wanted to show you some layouts I did just for me. No CT requirements:

With Love

Well, if you hit the scavenger hunt this weekend at DRS, you would have already picked this up.


and if you didn't, well I guess you'll just have to buy it now.

Look at this gorgeous layout that Priss made

Unforgettable Moments on DSD

Amy has a grab bag for DSD in her shop at Gingerscraps.


And us girls on her CT have created with it. i only used a few things from the grab bag, so I'm showing off everyone else's too!

DSD is here

So much stuff is going on this weekend in the digi world. Don't forget to stop by DRS

I'm apart of the scavenger hunt. I've hidden a mini-kit inside the description of one of my products. We'll be posting the hints in the forum soon. Also I'm apart of the blog train that will be starting in about 5 hours.

And don't forget about my storewide 40% off sale and a promotion where you can get my new kit "Sunny Days" for free.

DSD is coming

And DRS is deep in planning for this uber-important event.

First thing you should know is that I am a part of the scavenger hunt at DRS. I (will) have hidden a special mini-kit amongst my products in the store. You will get a clue (in the DRS forums) to help you find it. It's beautiful (if I do say so myself).

Also, we will be having a blog train that I'm a part of. That will start on the morning of the 6th (at least that's when my part will go up), oh and I live in Mountain Time, US. (This is on my designing blog)

Then, I'm also have a 40% off sale on my store for the duration of the festivities (the 6th-7th).

and, I have a new kit that should be showing up over the weekend...and I'm running a special promotion.
I hope you have an awesome DSD and will at least stop by and visit.

Just my recent layouts

I've still been scrapping, just not posting...
