If at first you do not succeed, try, try again...

So much for my good intentions of getting caught up yesterday - dunno why, but all of the sudden I couldn't get a picture to upload for love nor money.  And what good is a new product announcement if you can't see the product?  LOL!  It's a good thing I did the freebie first, right?

So we will try it again today.

This week's new release at The DigiChick is An Afternoon at the Park.  It's full of lovely greens with soft bits of turquoise and peachy-orange and crisp white touches:

An Afternoon in the Park is still on sale today at the introductory 20% sale price in spite of Blogger's best efforts to cheat you, LOL!  And watch for a very special add-on coming next week!

I also missed announcing last week's pretty kit - I happened to see a beautiful photo of a morning glory vine, and I LOVE morning glories and the beautiful varieties of blues and purples:

And since I missed it, I created a coupon that will give you 20% off through the weekend!  Just use the code MorningGlory20 (you need to be signed in for it to work) for 20% off your purchase :)  Enjoy, and happy scrapping!

Playing Catch. Catch UP, that is!

I wonder what it is about summer that makes me lose my already tenuous hold on focus and structure, LOL.  I guess it's because it's traditionally a relaxed time with kids out of schools and scheduling taking something of a back seat to a more leisurely paced lifestyle.

Or maybe it's just hot and icky and no one wants to do anything ;)  I know I'm writing this from my air conditioned office, but I know in my head that it's hot out and I hate being too hot, so all I can think of is that I can't do anything outside.  Wouldn't you think it would just make me focus on all the cool inside stuff I could be doing?  Um, no.  Apparently I have the mind of a three-year-old!

However undisciplined my blogging mind may be, my design mind is in a happy place, so there's lots to share!  First up is a fun pack of baker's twine elements.  I love the dual colored strands and the cute touch they add.  These may be used commercially as well.

I made a sample for you to download and play with - you can download it HERE!

I'll be back to show you this week's new release a bit later - Blogger no longer wishes to cooperate with me, LOL!

Take a visit to the Olde West with me!

I've grown up in the western United States, so the concept of the "Olde West" is a familiar part of my experience.  I can remember multiple visits to ghost towns over the years, and I have always been fascinated by these vivid examples of times gone by.  Of course I have several photos, so I wanted to do a little mini kit with a few bits of victorian-inspired ephemera to showcase them.  Unfortunately, the mini got a little out of hand and turned into a full kit in its own right - and it's prettier and less "rustic" than I first intended, but I really love the way it turned out!  Here's the first installment in my new Olde West collection:

As you can see, beautiful rich jewel-toned papers mingle with some rustic elements and some downright pretty and charming bits here and there:

And a couple from me :)

Ghost Town is in the Digichick store now, and will be 20% off through Friday!  And in honor of the upcoming Fourth of July holiday here in the United States, both of my patriotic-themed kits will be 50% off through the 4th:

Stop by and check them out!  Have a great holiday, and happy scrapping!

It's time for a Summer Celebration!

Weeeellllll, ok, it's a little bit early if you're thinking fireworks and parades, but it's best to be prepared, right?  Bring on Summer Celebration, a soft and :gasp: pretty kit with a gentle hint of patriotic goodness and just a bit of shabby vintage charm:

 I thought it would be fun to move the color palette just a bit, so the blue has touches of teal, and the red leans to the crimson side, with a soft gold and green for balance.

My CT team rocked the layouts (as usual!) and showed the versatility of this kit:

 Love this hybrid card from Cathy at the Hybrid Chick!

Summer Celebration will be at it's introductory sale price (20% off) through Friday at The Digichick (the paper pack and element packs are also available separately), so you can get your firecrackers and popcorn ready for the big day!  Happy Scrapping!

Get Ready for a Chick Fix!

There's some exciting stuff going on at The DigiChick this week!  We have put together a new collection for you based on the same palette so all the goodies mix and match and you can choose the items you like best for your stash.  Best of all, through Monday they are all debuting at an amazing $1,2, or 3 sale price, so it's fun AND frugal!

My additions to The Chick Fix are the By the Bay collection - beautiful papers and elements with rich textures and a pinch of drama, with lots of extras to give your page just the right amount of pizazz.

 

And to kick things off properly, I have put each and every one of these in the $1 introductory price category.  Six great products for the price of a single kit!
