Abiding in the Vine

Today marks the release of the last of The Faith Project's Fruits of the Spirit collection:  Abiding in the Vine.  This one was nearest and dearest to my heart, because I love the deep rich colors and I love the message, since abiding in the Vine is what brings forth all that desirable fruit!



Those of you who know me understand that on the fairly rare occasions that I create a kit with a specific theme I still try to make the components flexible enough to be used for many purposes, and this kit is no exception.  One of my CT members used it to scrap Disney pictures and she expressed guilt, but I love that she was able to do that!  So no apologies necessary if you want to scrap an outing to a vineyard or a wine date with a friend.  I mean, odds are I will probably scrap my kids' pets with it, anyway, as well as chronicling my faith journey.




As you can see, my romance with Gold is still in full force.  I just loved the richness it lent to the overall picture, and I included a shiny (and unique) alpha in the collection to match some of the word art in the kit.

I love this beautiful example from Kay at The Digichick:

I chose this inspiration piece for you because it features a free template from this month's Template Challenge at TDC.  I'd love to have you pick up the free template and join along with us!  If nothing else, take a look at all the wonderful ideas on how to make the template your own :)

Abiding in the Vine will be at the introductory sale price for a limited time, so take advantage of the sale and create your own beautiful layouts.
You can  visit my TDC shop HERE, and until next time, happy scrapping!

Back in the Shop!

One fun thing about re-previewing  products is getting reacquainted with old favorites.  This set definitely qualifies!




The sky is the limit with these display boards - treat them as your digital bulletin board!  You can  find them Here at the introductory sale price, in case you missed them the first time around.  And some quick ideas from my team:




I also have two new commercial use packs in my CU shop - I know some of you like to use them for scrapping:



Until next time, happy scrapping!

It's time for Digital Scrapbooking Day!  Yes, it's early this year... I feel a little bit like I did when they changed the dates for Daylight Savings... sort of a "Huh?!!"  No doubt all the wonderful sales and goodies available to us all will help ease us into the new date!



I have a new collection for you, called Tranquility:



I love the combination of greens and browns and the soft, warm silver.  There are also journal/pocket cards and solid papers to go along with the kit:



And last, a Faith Project mini kit that coordinates (and has some lovely papers!)



The creative ladies of TDC and my own team have some wonderful inspiration for you; I am itching to do some creating of my own!





I've also added these fall kits back into my shop - be sure and check the $2 Chick Blitz category, because you will find lots of these kits there!




You can  visit my shop HERE.  Enjoy DSD!

Good Morning!  I'm freshly home from a wonderful week of driving around our lovely state and taking in the sights (and taking pictures, of course!)  But there are two collections that have made their way into my TDC shop at your request  :)

First is The Good Earth, a richly colored collection perfect for gardening and harvesting:






And next is a perennial favorite - vintage and cheerful Pet Story:






Everything you need to scrap your favorite furbaby (with or without fur, LOL)!

And here's some fabulous new inspiration to get your creative thoughts going:




Both collections will be at the introductory sale price for a limited time.  You can  visit my shop HERE, and until next time, happy scrapping!

Happy September!  Here we are past Labor Day and getting into the routines of fall...  but it's still lovely with cooler nights and hints of color changes on the way. My husband and I are planning a little getaway next week to take in some Montana sights - the "welcome home" tour as we have dubbed it.  In preparation I have added some things to the Western Wonders collection so I am all ready to scrap when I get home :)







I admit that this collection of add-ons amused me - there's something delightful about these little paper-pieced campers and cars and cabins - a leftover emotion from playing with paper dolls, I guess.  At any rate, while outside my typical style I know they will add some special touches to my pages.  
Here are some great inspiration pages from my creative friends and the TDC team:




Also new this week is The Faith Project -Self-control:

 


And a beautiful sample from Deanna at TDC:



Both Western Wonders Add-Ons and The Faith Project - Self Control will be at the introductory sale price in my shop through Tuesday.  Enjoy your weekend and
 until next time, happy scrapping!

It's time for The Hatchery at The Digichick, September edition!  Pick and mix your favorites at a special price across the shop :)

Here are my contributions:







The colors are fabulous, and I am so ready for fall!

My daughter has been taking some neat photos of her dog Leo (well, of her scottie Penny, too, but Penny didn't make it into my scrapping session this time) and I had a little fun with them:


This is Leo and his playdate "girlfriend" Arya - they are best buds apparently.

And here's Leo and his tennis ball:



I have such a time with white space layouts, but I love these faceted papers and didn't want to cut up or hide any more than I had to, so I stopped.  It was still hard.  It was also hard to pick which one to use  ;)

The Hatchery goodies will be at the special introductory special price all week - individual packs of mine are $2 and the bundle is $5.99.  Lots of fun for a nice price  :)

Until next time, happy scrapping!
