Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments about my Commotion in the Ocean set that was offered as a free download.  I have the links available through the end of the month.  You can download the original set HERE and the coordinating solids HERE.  Also, I have created another little mini as part of my newsletter gift.  If you would like to be added to my newsletter and receive this and other gifts and updates, you can sign up HERE.  I will be sending out a second batch of my initial newsletter on May first so you will receive the final portion of the freebie then!  Here’s a peek at the newsletter gifts….

I have just falling in love with surfing Etsy. There are so many creative items I can just spend hours browsing (and do sometimes!) Tonight I found some of the cutest jewelry pieces. Sheryl’s (jochris12’s) fused glass pendants and broaches are colorful and festive. Cute pieces perfect for Easter include a Cross Pendant, a Peep Pendant and a Bunny Broach. Give her shop a peek – lotsa fun stuff there!

I was surfing the net a few nights ago and found the cutest little decorated eggs on Martha Stewart’s site! Don’t know if I can get Heath interested in making these - he might think he is too old, but maybe I can round up some child who might like to give them a try! Aren’t they darling? I can’t decide which I like the most - either the bunny and carrot or the birds. Enjoy - and if you happen to try some of these, send me some pictures! I would love to see them.

Delightful Doodles are available again at my new personal store along with printables, hybrid and page templates, digital kits and more. Two new sets of Delightful Doodles are specially priced at $1.99 (60% off)! My Debut Grab Bag is brand new too and available for $3.50 – retail value over $15.

I’ve spent some time this week on a few hybrid / printable projects for my upcoming store opening.  I am hoping to finish everything by next weekend and be ready to open  by April 1st!  I will have a grab bag with scrapping goodies and a couple of new vectors.  In the meantime, I have a preview of one of my new printable projects and an Easter printable project for your little ones.  The hybrid project is a recipe / miniscrapbook set that has 2 covers (one for recipe and one for custom page), 2 sets of pages / recipe cards and an inside pocket page to assemble to hold your pages or recipes.  The set was created with one of the goodies in my grab bag! 

If you want to keep up with my newest releases, feel free to sign up for my newsletter HERE - I will be sending out goodies with my first newsletter by mid-April at the latest and will include both personal use and designer resource goodies!

Now, I have an adorable picture of Tanya’s daughters Alina and Elisha who created bunny bags this morning with the free printable Hybrid Bunny Bag that you can download HERE.  Instructions are HERE and TOU are HERE.  Be looking for some more printable animal projects soon!

Long time since I posted I know…I am actually in the process of having my site redesigned so I have been waiting for that before posting.  I have though had several inquiries as to where my designs can now be found, so I thought I should post.  Currently my page kits, coordinating products and templates are available exclusively at Scrap Wow.  When my site is finished I will have a store here which will include newly added items at Scrap Wow along with my Delightful Doodles and other goodies.  I haven’t had an official newsletter sign up yet, but if you would like to be added to my newsletter subscription, you are welcome to sign up here.  I will be working on newsletter goodies this weekend!

Just a quick not to let you know about my very first grab bag and a weekend promotion at Studio Jan.  My January Grab Bag will be available through January 27th and has 6 new products - 4 12″x12″ psd page template sets (2 and 3 templates per set), 1 vector eps / psd element template and 1 element tool.  All items are scrap 4 hire friendly and the 2 element sets are designer resources as well.  Also going on this weekend is 30% off all items (excluding the grab bag) including commercial use.  Sale runs through January 27th!

OK, I admit it…I entered the “digi” world under the premise that my dining room table would be free from paper and embellishments…that my life would be confined to a computer screen and piles of papers and flowers and what not were banished to “never never land”.  WELL, let me tell you I WAS WRONG!.  While I SO enjoy the freedom and “semi-organization” of the digi world, the sound of paper cutting and smell of adhesive drying has beckoned me to the paper world once again!  And so, I have embarked on the world of Hybrid Scrapping…combining the best of Digi and Traditional to produce fun and unique creations.  Serving as my exhibits are my newest sets of hybrid templates…now available at Scrapbook Graphics.  Recently added templates include another set of “small package” templates as well as a new “pocket” book that holds all kinds of goodies including scrap pages and cards!  Credits for hybrid products include the fabulous set “Drifting Snow Dreams” by Lorie Davison and “Girls will be Girls” by Baers Garten.

Wow, this time of year is always SO busy.  I have gotten some of my Christmas shopping done, mainly because I told Heath if he didn’t give me a list by the day after Thanksgiving he wouldn’t get anything (he usually waits until December 23rd or 24th).  So, thankfully, he did give me some ideas.  Mom and I are going to see my sister Wednesday and I hope to finish most of my shopping then.  Our tree is up and a few decorations scattered about the house, but I would love to add more.  I haven’t even started addressing cards though.  I made my picture about a month ago when Snapfish had a penny sale - and the coupon wouldn’t work so they gave them to me for free! The doodles from the set are from Kate Hadfield’s winter set last year - it wasn’t available the last time I checked - but aren’t they cute?!?  I love  her doodles!

I finally got some time yesterday to package some doodles to add to Scrapbook Graphics.  New sets include Volume 9 - lots of flowers and Volume 10 - lots of swirls.  If you want to get these on sale (35% off) run by Studio Matters, the SBG blog, today for the Celebrate the Season post for my coupon code good through December 24th…also posted today is a coupon code for 25% off Studio Flergs!
