His Senior Year-- a new Mini Kit!

I finally had some inspiration this week!  Somehow my old high school yearbook resurfaced and my husband and I had a fun laugh over those dated pictures.  I was thinking about how fun that senior year was-- we had trudged through eleven years of school and finally had our year to shine.  I created this new mini kit, "His Senior Year", with that in mind, but the kit turned out a little more like an overall guy kit than a specific school kit, but I love it anyway.  Hope you do too!  ;)

His Senior Year-- 20% off now at ScrapMatters!

My fabulous, fabulous, fabulous Creative Team put together some amazing layouts in just a short time.  They are awesome!

Hybrid Happiness

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I'm really excited to share some awesome hybrid-ness with you using my latest releases at ScrapMatters.  First off, check out this beautiful printed binder cover by Abish:

Those cute little owls are just perfect for school, don't you think?  I love it!

I've mentioned before that one of the benefits of being a designer is that we get to sample our fellow designers' work.  One of the designers I couldn't stand not being able to sample regularly after my move was my friend Kelleigh Ratzlaff.  Have you met Kelleigh?  She is amazing and her hybrid templates are to die for!  So, I e-mailed Kelleigh and asked if I could join her creative team and guess what?  She said YES!  WOO!  Alright, I admit, I'm a little bit selfish-- I'll probably use my own papers and elements on her hybrid templates, but hey, we're sharing, right?  ;)

Here's what I made with Kelleigh's Apple Basket and my Whooo Loves Ya Papers and Elements:

Isn't that the cutest thing ever!?!  Love it!  Go check Kelleigh out-- you will not be disappointed!

Whooo Loves Ya?

It's August 1st (barely!) and I'm so thrilled to announce the opening of my brand new store!  I'm the newest exclusive designer at.... drumroll, please.......

Are you surprised?  Not really?  :D  Well, after being a guest at ScrapMatters for two months, I decided to unpack my bags and move on in.  The crew at SM has been so welcoming and since most of my own Creative Team spends their time over there, it seemed like a natural fit for me.  I'll have an official Grand Opening on Friday, August 5th!

One of the features I totally love at SM is the monthly Mix-a-Kit, and August is no exception.  The colors are fabulous, fabulous, fabulous and I couldn't resist diving right in!  I've been wanting to create an owl kit for a while, and I think these colors worked really well with that theme.  So, without further ado, here's my latest:   Whooo Loves Ya? Elements and Papers, plus Stitchies for August!  These fun pieces are on sale for 20% off, too!

My fabulous Creative Team went crazy with these new goodies and made some absolutely amazing layouts!  Check it out:

Abish made this calandar-- I just want to print it out!  How awesome!

Speaking of printing, I have some fabulous hybrid stuff to share with you with this fun kit.  Come back tomorrow to see what you can do when you add Whooo Loves Ya? with a printer, scissors and glue!

And for our winner... Random.org picked Comment #1-- Congratulations Ghislaine!  Here's what she had to say:
