Great way to start the new year!

Guess what?  I will be guesting at MScraps this month!  I have an exclusive product that will only be available at MScraps this month then it will return home - but not until February.

I am calling this Box it up: Basket {it has a little bit of a basket feel to me}.

I had so much fun using one of the collabs from the MScraps designers, this is perfect for valentine's day coming up or even a birthday party.

I have a little freebie for you as well!  The word art that I used on my package is available for free - head over to the product page and grab it for free!  You will see the link right there on the page to download it.  Don't forget to leave a little love before you head over there!

Grab the freebie HERE!

Hope you have a great New Years Eve... See you in 2011.  I will be working on creating my goals for the upcoming year as well as determining the word of the year.

Happy Holidays... and a coupon for you!

Thank you for an amazing year, without YOU... everything would not be possible. I am thankful for each purchase that you make and get so excited when I see what you have created with my designs.

While I don't have a new release for you this week - I do have a coupon for you - my blog readers!

Grab the items in your wishlist and save BIG!

Project of the Week... at ScrapMatters

Did you see the Project of the Week at ScrapMatters? It uses my Candy Box template. Check it out.... just beautiful!

Week of RAKs

This week I will be giving RAKs to random people who are commenting on projects created with my designs and are uploaded to my designer gallery. I will also be looking for those who are using my designs and uploading them to my designer gallery.

Head over... leave some love and you never know when you might be a winner!

Want to grab something from my store now and get a project done to put in my gallery? Check out my store here.

We already had one winner.... PhotoNut71 for commenting on this project from Rebecca:

She used my Gift Card Greeting Card template:

Have a great week.... see you in the gallery!

About time for a new... FONT!

I have a new font for you today!  I finished this one quite some time ago and Terri has been enjoying it herself but I was holding onto it but now is the time!

Want to see it in action? (I know you do!)  The ScrapMatters CT and my own had fun with it.

Amanda (SM)

Heidi (SM)

Tronesia
 

Jan (SM):

and Dalis even created a hybrid card using the font!

This font would be perfect for a holiday letter or on your holiday cards as well.  Hope you have a great week leading up to Christmas. My girls will both be home from school all week long and I did plan a few fun activities but I hope they entertain themselves a little bit.

Showing off some templates in action

Have a great rest of the week... I will be back on Friday.

Manic Monday - Holiday Sentiments

oh oh ... I wish it were Sunday. Just another Manic Monday.

ScrapMatters has a great sale each week on Monday (if you did not know). I don't usually participate but thought this week I would offer you something.

I have this fun holiday wordart:

And for TODAY (Monday the 13th) you can get it for only $2.00.  Don't wait or the sale will be over!

See  you on Friday (if not before then).

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... Candy Box Template!

You may have remembered back in October when I released this Candy Box Template at Scrapable - well I am releasing it at ScrapMatters now.  If you need additional samples be sure to check out that post as well.

I just love the the versatility of the template... fill with candies, bath samples, or even a gift card!

And here are a few examples from my CT:

and finally from Anne-Katrine who I am happy to have back on my team.

Have a great weekend!

Black Friday... and new releases!

Good morning, I am hoping that I am sleeping right now if you are reading this Friday morning - which means that I was able to get everything on line this year! Online shopping is really the best, especially when it is so cold out (now no one hate me but here in California the mid to low 30's is just too cold!).  ScrapMatters has fixed the problem and you can shop right at home in your PJ's. Now is the time to get your favorite items from my shop (or any of the other fabulous designers at ScrapMatters) for 40% off Friday and Saturday (and then a little less Sunday & Monday).

Now that you know about the sale - it is time to show you what new goodies I have out for you this week - and are all part of the sale!

and for those who prefer to give a little cold hard cash (or maybe you just owe someone some money but want to put it in a cute card) I have this template for you:

Sharon

or you can do as Sarah did and turn it into a coupon holder!

And finally I have created an envelope set as well. These fit the cards perfectly but also work great for budgeting, store list (inside I put the coupons I am going to be using) or for a letter on note paper.

The envelopes that Katrin did are just beautiful:

I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving (or Thursday for those in the rest of the world) and that you have a fabulous Friday.  Be sure to check out this thread over at ScrapMatters for a great chat on Friday and Monday with prizes awarded at both of them!

And a little plug for ShelfReliance - if you like FOOD... you should check out this great Black Friday sale going on!  You can see all the details on that blog and if you are interested in ordering something simply send me an e-mail and I will get you set up to order online.  The blog is HERE.
