Savannah! Brand new at The Digichick!

I feel like I have been working on this kit forever!  It started as a rainy-day kit, but the colors were just too... happy.  I already had the papers finished and a few flowers, but I felt like I couldn't keep going until I had a good name.  Nothing seemed quite right, until I ran into an old friend with an adorable brown-eyed daughter named Savannah.  The name Savannah makes me think of bright fields of flowers, a little bit of tomboy, and plenty of girlish charm, which was exactly where this kit was headed.  Once I had a name, everything else seemed to fall into place, and I'm excited about how this kit turned out. 

Here's Savannah...


You can grab this huge kit at The Digichick now for 20% off!  Hooray!

My CT did some incredible and versatile things with this kit-- take a look...







Beautiful, aren't they? 

I know we also have a drawing for a free kit, but since Kelleigh's drawing doesn't happen until this evening, I'll wait for mine as well.  You still have time to comment!  :D  Once again, please be sure to leave a way to get in touch with you. 

Have a wonderful day!

Little Paper Boxes {with Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs}

>> Tuesday, April 3, 2012

A text is nice, a phone call is better, but nothing says "I love you" better than a little paper box filled with something sweet!  This is why I love making hybrid crafts-- the perfect marriage of digi and paper-- and why I love giving them away.

Of course, my favorite templates are those by my dear friend, Kelleigh Ratzlaff.  Her templates are available in a bunch of different formats and I like to use the PSD files so that I can use my own papers and elements.  Just last week, I made this great little Gable Box using my Well Read kit for a friend.  So cute!  And filled with my favorite filler, Hershey's Hugs, it was the perfect little way to say, "I'm thinking about you!"


As mentioned, my husband was out of town for a few weeks last month, so the boys and I decided to put a care package together for him.  I decided to use Kelleigh's Milk Carton templates-- they're simple enough that my two older boys could fold and paste them together without too much extra help from me.  First, I had the boys pick out their favorite papers and elements from my Dad's Day kit to put on their boxes.  I left a big space for message-writing.


Then we cut, folded, glued, and filled our boxes with little treats for Dad.  And I took a fancy picture.

 Even though I talked to my husband every day while he was gone, I think getting this fun little package in the mail really made his day.  :)

A Walk in the Park!

>> Friday, March 23, 2012

Hello, hello friends!  Oh my goodness, it has been a fun but crazy couple of days!  My husband has been on a month-long business trip in Dallas, TX, and yesterday, I got to load the boys up in the car, drop them off at my wonderful in-law's, and fly to Texas to meet my husband.  And today, we've been eating, shopping, and eating some more.  So much fun-- but in the midst of my fun, I forgot to post my new kit!  ACK!

It's such a lovely kit, too-- a collab with one of my dear designer friends, the amazing Nicole of Sugarplum Paperie.  Nicole is all-around awesome and I think our styles went together well for this delightful, springtime kit.  Here's A Walk in the Park:

  

There are 22 gorgeous papers and a huge collection of more than 50 elements in this kit, plus a full lowercase alpha.  I keep looking at the amazing layouts by the Creative Teams (mine, Nicole's, and TDC's) and I just love the variety!  Be sure to check out the product page to see what they've done.

On Wednesday, I asked you to comment for a chance to win this lovely kit!  Congrats to Brook-- she won the random drawing!  Here's what she had to say:

Well Read & A Sale!

>> Thursday, March 15, 2012

One of my very favorite pastimes is reading, so I wanted to create a kit with that theme.  I got the ideas for the colors from one of the covers of one of my favorite paper backs (Jane Austen's Persuasion) and tried to focus on kind a vintage, feminine look.  Here's the final product: Well Read!  Be sure to visit the product page for some amazing layouts by my super talented CT!




We had a little contest yesterday, and here is the winner:  Christelle!  Here's what she had to say:


Christelle March 14, 2012 7:55 AM
I read a lot for school so I don't do it too much in my free time. These days when I want to relax I like to read romances, like Lori Foster's books!

Hello and Happy Wednesday all!   I have another new kit for you this week and I can't wait to share.  My CT has been congratulating me on my design roll-- let's hope the goodness just keeps on coming!  Here's your peek...

This kit is near and dear to my heart-- it's about one of my favorite things to do: reading.  We haven't had a random winning contest for a while, so let's do one!  Here's how to play:  Post a comment (ooh, how about a favorite book?!) and a way to contact you here by midnight Pacific Time 3-14-12 and I'll let Random.org pick someone to win this kit for free by 10:00 AM on Thursday 3-15-12 morning!  Hooray!

Lucky Me!

>> Thursday, March 8, 2012

It's been kind of a weird winter here-- part snowy, part warm, totally unreliable one way or another.  Today is bright and sunny, which is really nice because I wasn't looking forward to shoveling the snow off of the driveway! 

I was in a very Springtime mood when I created my new kit, "Lucky Me".  It has a little bit of St. Patty's day flavor, and plenty of patterned papers and fun elements.  It's 20% off at The Digichick today and tomorrow, too!


My team did some awesome things with this kit, as usual.  I'm lucky to have such a great CT!


Gorgeous, huh?!  I'm so inspired! 

I also made a sweet little milk carton box for a friend of mine using Kelleigh's amazing template and this kit.  I filled it with Hershey's Hugs.  ♥
