6.29.12 - Scrappin Blends and Cut It Out

I can't believe that June is almost over.  This first month of Summer has just flown by.  The kids have kept me busy and we've been spending lots of time at the pool with the warm weather we've been getting.  It usually doesn't get so hot around here until the end of July or even into August, but we've been having some 100 degree days and I'm afraid it's going to be a long, hot rest of the summer.  I think I'd better crank up the air conditioning and settle in for some serious scrappin'.  Ok - let's get to the real reason for this newsletter - the goodies of course!  I've got 2 new template packs this week and a newsletter subscriber only freebie!


First up is Scrappin Blends v.1.  I love the look of blended photos and decided to make a pack with some.



And here's some inspiration using Scrappin Blends v.1.

Second up is Cut it Out v.1.  The little circle cut outs will give your layout a little unexpected surprise.

Well, that's it for this week.  Thanks for having me.  I'm gonna grab a cold glass of ice water and see if I can cool off a bit and hopefully get in some scrappin' too!  hehe


Take care and as always keepscrappin',

6.22.12 - New Releases

Hello all my digi scrappin friends,

I have a confession to make... I love paper! I'm obsessed with it!  I love the colors, textures, patterns, everything about paper.  And when I was first introduced to digital scrapbooking I thought I would miss having all those papers around, but guess what?  I don't miss my papers at all!  Infact, I think my paper obsession is BIGGER and better than ever!  Digi gives me so many more options for papers and I can hide them all away on my harddrive so my hubby doesn't trip over the piles and my daughter can't cut them all up and use that last piece I was saving for that special project.  =)


Speaking of special paper projects,  I love the look of collages and want to include more on my layouts, so I made up a new collection for this week.  It's called Collage Montage v.1 and will help you showcase your photos and showoff some of your paper collection.


And here's some inspiration from the CT girls.... I always love seeing their creations.

6.15.12 - New Releases

Hello everyone,


I hope you are having a fun summer.  We are at my house.  This week my 12-year old daughter hosted a craft camp for 12 little girls in our neighborhood.  It was 3 days of crafting and giggling for the girls, and pure craziness for me.  Boy am I tired!  I said that my daughter hosted it, but really that means Mom did all the work and dd gets the money.  LOL   Thanks goodness I planned ahead and got some extra designing in last week, so I do have a new product for ya'll this week.


It's called Simply Kayla and is based on two of my digital layouts.  I made these layouts before I was a template designer and decided it would be fun to make them into templates for others to use too.


Here's the layouts that I based the Simply Kayla templates on.




Now, take a look at what the CT made with this pack for even more inspiration.

Kairyn used 1 template and made a 2-pager, by replacing the photo spots with one big photo on the left page.

March turned the template on it's side and made this dreamy layout.
Roxana duplicated part of the template and added some photo spots to capture the action on this layout.
And last, Stefanie paired this template with a couple of fun photos and a great kit for this pretty layout.

I have a confession to make.  Since I was busy with the craft camp I didn't make a freebie for this week.  Oh the shame - I know!  However, I haven't forgotten about all of my wonderful newsletter subscribers, so I have a special little coupon just for you - please see your email for the coupon code. If you're not a newsletter subscriber, you should be. Take a moment now to signup on the right hand sidebar of my blog, so you won't miss out on all the freebies, coupons, and such.

I'd love to see the layouts that you make with my templates, so please post them in the keepscrappin designs gallery at BrownieScraps.  I'll stop by the gallery and ohh and awe over your creations and leave ya some love.  hehe!


Take care and as always keepscrappin'

Next, I have 123 Scrap v.2.  It's the second in my 3-photo collection and has fun paper strips and lots of room for journaling without overcrowding your photos.


Last, I have Slice o' Life v.1.  It's my favorite this week.  I love the unique design and playful feel the circle slices give to these.  I had so much fun playing around with circles while making these that I came up with some more circle ideas that you'll see in future templates.  hint, hint! lol

The CT has been busy this week too.  Take a look at all the fabulous layouts they made with these goodies.
