Staples is having a sale with good hybrid stock ups.

Sorry this is getting posted more than halfway through the week – I had good intentions of posting sooner. Wanted to just point out a couple good buys at Staples (an office supply store in the US) that work great for hybrid.

{My favorite paper to print on… only $1 after easy rebate}

While my template is not for this exact size legal pad it should resize pretty easily – and what a steal 33 cents each!

And this is a great price for those who want to do your own christmas cards and just get printed as a 4x6 at the photo lab. These would also be great to put your Desktop Calendar prints into... or make an envelope album with these using printed photos for the outside of them.

Happy Shopping and saving this week!  Let me know if you guys like these posts and I will try to point the stuff I see out more often (and sooner in the week too!)

Anyone do Black Friday shopping?  Shelf Reliance will be having a huge sale and I will definitely stock up but I will also be out bright and early (or really late in the case of Kohl’s who will be open at midnight!).

Headed to Scrap Orchard…

I can NOT believe I am posting this but tomorrow (Thursday) will be my last day at ScrapMatters, it seems a little surreal. I have been there since 2008 - well since I started digi really and I can hardly believe that I have decided to move to another store. I am not retiring, just moving to another store – what store would that be?  Scrap Orchard!

I am very excited about the move – just never thought it would happen.

Do you have a hybrid project that you have created with my templates?  My designer gallery should be opening at Scrap Orchard soon – let’s fill it up!

Grab what you want from my store at ScrapMatters while it is still 40% off as some items might not make it over to my new store or they may take me a little bit to revamp with cutting files and new examples.

Be sure to sign up for my newsletter - I have a fabulous holiday gift/freebie coming this month for everyone subscribed. PLUS you get a free template just for signing up!

Don't forget to follow me on facebook or twitter as you never know when a coupon code may come across!

Oh and I am still around selling Shelf Reliance as well so if you are interested in getting a supply of long term food, quick and easy to prepare food or emergency equipment I will still be your gal! We are also looking to add to our team around the US, Canada and soon in Japan as well!

See you tomorrow for a look at my new release and a couple things I am bringing over.

DSD is here…

Hope that everyone is having a great start to their weekend … I know I am.  We are spending the weekend finishing up the house so it is ready for our new puppy coming home to us on Tuesday, eeek!

Well I have a new product for you in both my Scrap Orchard guest store and my store at ScrapMatters.

You get all 4 sizes for ONE low price!

Guess who is guesting!

I am so excited to be guesting at Scrap Orchard this month, which is sure to be filled with lots of fun since Digital Scrapbook Day is just around the corner! 

As with my previous guest spots you know that new goodies come along with that.  This first week is no exception. I have a super useful template out – Calendar Countdown Blocks.  These can be used for so many things – holiday countdowns, birthdays, trips etc. or use them to count up – days of school, etc.

I included lots of layers so you can pick and choose what look you want by just turning some of the layers off.

Oh and if you missed it up above… this will be 20% off this week.

Be sure to share the projects you create – I would love to see them!

Beware! - Things Aren't Always What They Seem!

Hello, there, everyone!

I have always loved Krisi's Sketch It Out - Cards: Sunshine template:

This template has inspired many great and "sunny" cards such as
this Hope This Brightens Your Day Card by Kaylalovesminnie:

or this Teacher Card by Tsmspt:

or this Thinking of You card by Sporte91:

But, beware!  Things aren't always what they seem - or, at least, they don't have to be!

What if the sun was not really a sun???  What if, in fact, it was a moon, and the brightness of the full moon's glow on Halloween Night could cast rays?  Well, then, you might end up with a
Halloween card that looks something like this:

So, don't be afraid to experiment!  Take a second look at some of these templates and see what else you can morph them into! 

Enjoy!

Manic Monday 10/24

It is another Manic Monday at ScrapMatters and Krisi has put her Jr Legal Pad Wrap template on sale today.



I love any kind of stationery. Already in school I collected note pads, letter paper and erasers. So, the Jr Legal Pad Wrap template has long been on my wish list. But because we do not have this size pad over here (I live in Germany) I never got it, until I decided to give it a try this month. And I just love how it came out and I don't think it will be the last I made. I used a maget as closure, but ribbon or velcro would work great as well.



To make it I measured the pad I had and then I resized the template accordingly using the ruler in Photoshop. It's really easy as it does not have to be exact, because of the margins around the pad. I took the template for the back, chose the form of my flap and locked that layer with the back and side layers and resized the back to a size a little larger than my pad. Then I took the full front template and pocket template and copied them into my first document. Now I could resize those two to match the size of my back.

A picture of the inside:



So, if you have been deterred from using this template, because you cannot get your hands onto this size of pad, today would be the day to get it, because it is 50% off!

Looking Back- Candy Box

The next few months will be filled with lots of candy and holiday treats. Krisi's Kreations has the perfect candy box for all occasions.


Here are some ideas for Halloween and Christmas:
