Sunday Afternoon Flash Sale

I’m a little late posting this as we spent much of the past several hours setting up for and hosting my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday open house at our house. What a fun day surrounded by a lot of people I love – so it’s fitting that my current “flash sale” kit is “It’s Time to Say I Love You.” For a limited time, you can get this kit for $1.00; you can find it here in my store.

Father’s Day Sale and Free With $5 Purchase

This weekend, most of theStudio store is on sale in honor of Father’s Day. This link will take you to my store; you can find the rest of the designers on the left-hand side once you’re there.

As an added bonus, my “It’s Time to Say I Love You” kit is your free gift with a $5.00 purchase. That doesn’t have to be from my store; it can be from any of the designer’s stores. Have a great weekend!  : )

“It’s Time to Say I Love You” ~ Layouts #4

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in my Featured Designer challenge at theStudio. Here are a few more layouts from some of the participants who gave me permission to post them here on my blog. I just love to see how talented and creative you are! Most of the layouts are linked to the featured designer challenge gallery.

Every two weeks, a different designer is spotlighted. Be sure to keep an eye on the forum and play along. Not only will you get another page layout done, you’ll have the chance to win that designer’s featured kit.

Here are more fantastic layouts and freebies made with my latest kit, “It’s Time to Say I Love You,” which is available in my Studio and My Memories stores. You can click on any of the layouts to get a closer-up view.

I really need to have an official CT call to expand my team, but in the meantime, I’m having a great time seeing what my guest CT members come up with. First up are some layouts from Pam, one of my regular recipe card challenge participants. She did such a great job with this kit; I love her work!

Pam made this beautiful QP ---> to share with you. If interested, you can find the download link on her blog.

Next up is from Jan, another of my long-time recipe card challenge participants and repeat guest CT member. She is also very talented and always creates beautiful things; I wish I had her talent! 

Jan turned this layout --->  into a QP to share with you. If interested, you can find the download link on her blog.

Last up for this post is from Julie, another of my long-time CT members and a true wonder woman! I really appreciate her and all she does for me in spite of her busy life raising a young family. Thanks, friend!

Julie made this adorable tag ---> that is a perfect addition to the kit. If interested, you can find the download link on her blog.

“It’s Time to Say I Love You” ~ Layouts #2

I’m always amazed at the talent and creativity so many of you have, especially when I see so much of it in one gallery where every one used the same kit. It’s especially surprising how many totally different layouts come from one little freebie add-on like this one.

As a reminder, this will be a freebie for just a few more days; you can read about it and the Featured Designer challenge in this post.

Several of the participants have given permission for me to post their layouts here just to give you an idea of how versatile the mini is. Thanks to each of you for letting me share your beautiful work! Each of the layouts are linked to the featured designer challenge gallery.

“It’s Time to Say I Love You” ~ Layouts #1

I’m excited to share the first of a few posts showing off some of the beautiful layouts made with my latest kit, “It’s Time to Say I Love You,” which is available in my Studio and My Memories stores. There will be several freebies to go along with the posts, so be sure to check back. You can click on any of the layouts to get a closer-up view.

First up is from Nicole, who I’m honored to say just accepted my invitation to be my newest CT member. She has purchased lots of my kits and created some wonderful layouts both with them and when I’ve asked her to guest CT for me; I’m thrilled to welcome her for good!

Nicole used one of my pre-made clusters for this layout ----> along with a few kit elements. She made a matching page stacker (minus the cluster and elements) to share with you. If interested, you can download it here.

Next up is from Jenny, who is one of my long-time recipe card challenge participants. I always love the cards she makes, and I was happy when she accepted my invitation to be a guest CT member with this kit. She made this beautiful 2-page layout and has split it into 2 QP freebies.

Last up for this post is from Tammy, who has patiently stuck with me from the beginning and always creates something great! Thanks, friend!

It’s Time to Say I Love You Add-On Kit…

As part of our Featured Designer challenge at theStudio, we share an “add-on” kit that is a limited time freebie. Anyone who creates and posts a layout in the gallery using the add-on kit is entered into a random drawing to win the full-size kit. You can read more about this challenge and find the link for the freebie here. I’d love to have you participate…

“It’s Time to Say I Love You” Extras

I’ve added two packs to my store that coordinate with my full-size “It’s Time to Say I Love You” kit. The “extras” pack includes 9 papers and 3 elements, and the “clusters” pack has 4 frames that highlight some of the elements and papers from the different kits. I love how they turned out!

I’ll be back later to post about the freebie add-on kit you can use to create a layout and have a chance to win the full-size kit for free…

“It’s Time to Say I Love You” Kit

For the next 2 weeks, I’ll be the featured designer at theStudio. Here’s the kit I designed specifically for this event; it’s now available in my store.

I tend to like designing “cute” kits, but I wanted to do something a little more “grown up” and “pretty” with this one. It took me out of my comfort zone, but I’m so happy with the result! I’ve even taken some time to play around with this kit and have been able to create some things I love.

The original idea and colors for this kit came from one thing: an adorable clock template from GS Creations. I was inspired by a talk given during the April 2011 LDS Conference, as well as a clock I received last year for Christmas which has “It’s Time to Say I Love You” on the face. Such an important reminder to take time for things and people we love!

The kit will be 30% off through the end of May. Check back later when I post about some additional coordinating items as well as a freebie kit.
