3.29.13 - It's Time...

I've had an amazing year selling my templates at BrownieScraps and it makes me sad to say it's all going to end on April 15th.  Yes, BrownieScraps is closing, and I'm going to take a break from designing for a bit and see where life takes me.   I'll still be around the digi world scrappin. I could never give up scrappin!  lol

I want to thank everyone at BrownieScraps for all their help and friendships.  It's been a fabulous year working with everyone there and I'm going to miss it.   I also want to thank all of you, my customers for your support this year and wish you all the best to keepscrappin your memories for many, many years to come.

I can't close up my shop without having a sale and the best part is that you get to choose your savings!

Take care and keepscrappin'

3.15.13 - Get yourself some scrappin therapy

I can't believe I actually found some time to scrap this week.  The last few weeks have been so busy around here that I have been running around stressed out.  It was so nice to get in some scrappin therapy.  It was just what I needed, so I forced myself to just let everything wait while I took an hour out for myself to scrap.  Take a look at my layout and see how I incorporated my love of project life cards into this week's new templates.

NEW this week!

3.8.13 - Life Blocks v.1

NEW this week!

These templates were inspired by all the project life/pocket style scrapbooking I've seen going on in digiland lately.  I just love that the focus is on getting the photos preserved in a easy way.  Of course they can be dolled up with all your favorite stuff or left as-is with simple embellishments, photos and journaling.

Life Blocks v.1

Inspiration from the CT

The CT girls have done it again!  Let's take a look at how they've used these project life/pocket style templates to make layouts that reflect their scrappin styles and WOW us each week with their scrappin talent! =)

CT layout of the week

Kairyn loves to make 2-page layouts and used both templates in Life Blocks v.1 to make this timeless feeling double page layout.  I love the jumbled letters of her title and how she turned one of the templates on it's side.  She also made the templates her own by combining the torn edge and scallops over the center strip of the left page.

I want to point out how easy it is to use my template packs for 2-page layouts.  I try to design the 2 templates in each pack to go together, so you can easily use them together for double page layouts or alone for single page layouts. Remember that templates are only a starting point.  You can use them as is or make them your own by turning and flipping them or putting paper in for photos and vice versa.  Take away things or add more to your liking. The important thing is that you get your photos and memories scrapped.

I hope you enjoy scrappin with these templates and give the project life/pocket style scrapbooking a try.  Don't forget that all new releases are on SALE for $1 each on Fridays when you purchase 5 or more new releases.

And you can mix and match your purchase of templates (old or new) from any of the designers at Brownie Scraps to get this template pack for free with any purchase of $5 or more this week.

3.1.13 - Final Month of Love winners and new templates

Sorry, I'm slow doing this post.  It's been a crazy, busy, busy week and yesterday I was running around trying to get ready for my baby's 7th birthday party.  I can't believe she's 7 already!  Where did the time go? Thank goodness, I was able to pull it all together at the last minute and she had a fabulous time with 7 of her little friends. I can't wait to find some time to scrap the pix of them in their pjs doing crafts, hula hooping, and freeze dancing.  It was so fun to just let loose and be silly and enjoy the day with her.

Let's get started with the final winners from my February's Month of Love promotion before I forget.  lol  First up, we have our layout winner.  Congratulations chigirl!  She won a template pack of her choice for her beautiful sweetheart layout.

The image is clickable, so you can go leave her some love too.

Next, we have our last winner of the purchase matching coupons.  Congratulations to Susan Risenhoover!  Susan, your order was randomly picked to win a code to keepscrappin designs.  Thanks for your purchase and watch your email, the code has been sent.

2.14.13 - Brownie Scraps Loving Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello digi scrappers,

I hope you're enjoying all the inspiration on our little blog hop. You should have come from Blue Heart Scraps and your next stop is Down This Road Designs.

I love seeing how scrappers take my digital templates and transform them into love-ly layouts.  It only takes a couple of personal touches to make them all their own.   Here's a look at a few of my recent favs.

Using Full Heart v.1

I love how Kairyn replaced some of the hearts in the template with layered hearts from her kit and added the love tickets to the side of the photos.

Using Heart Strings v.1

I adore Jenn's clustering skills.  She can take a plain template and load it up just right with all kinds of fun ellies.  I especially love the greenery and worn pattern background.

Using On Edge v.1

 

 Melanie didn't let a wrong photo orientation slow her down.  She rotated the small photo on the bottom left to work for her photo and then captured our hearts with the BIG photo of her little birthday girl.  I smile every time I see this cutie!

You can pick up these templates and a whole lot more for a $1 or less this weekend during our Customer Appreciation Sale.

* Sale applies to $1.50 template packs only.  Feel free to mix and match from any and all designers to maximize your savings by getting everything you want in one order this weekend.

Also, make sure you're signed up for my newsletter in the sidebar, and go pick up my Facebook Fan freebie template too.

Here's the list of all the stops on the blog hop, incase you get lost.

Tip of the Week

My six year old has been re-learning to tie her shoes this week.  I thought we had it mastered in kindergarten last year, but since she hasn't worn tie up shoes for a while, she needed a refresher.  I think we all could use a little help once in a while so since I've had laces on the brain, I decided to make up a tutorial to go with my Lace Ups v.1 templates.  Join me on the keepscrappin designs youtube channel to learn how to make laces for your layouts.  Be sure to subscribe to my channel, so you'll know when I add more tutorials.

Coming Soon

I love seeing the layouts you make with my templates, so don't forget to post them in my keepscrappin designs gallery at Brownie Scraps.  I'll also be in the forum and on FB looking for people who might like a little random act of love too.  *wink!

Take care and keepscrappin'
