New Tag Template, New Kit and Some News

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm selling at a new store.  The old store, Scrappin' With Friends, sadly shut down a couple of months ago.  I wish the co-owners, Sizzel and Crystal, nothing but the best, and hope that the future holds nothing but good things for them and their families.  I am now selling my items at P4DSDesigns.  I am in the process of repackaging my items so they are getting up there slowly but surely, and I even have a new kit available called Love N Hearts:

The kit comes in both full size and tagger size and is just right for all those Valentine's Day tags and other creations!  So bounce on over the P4DS right now and check it out.

Also, I have a new tag template for you all, available in both .psp and .psd format:

And here are the uploading links:

If you make anything with it, I'd love to see it!!

Thanks so much for looking and be sure to check back often for updates and other freebies!

Time To Go To The Beach

Hey Everyone!!

Just writing to share my 2 newest kits, which are now for sale at Scrappin' With Friends.  The first kit is called "Awakening" and is in beautiful shades of purple.  It comes in both full and tagger size:

Mary, one of the CT members for the store, wrote a tutorial using the Awakening kit:

You can find the tutorial HERE.   Thank you so much for such a wonderful tutorial AND tag, Mary!  I love it!!

The second kit is called "With A Little Luck" and I tried so hard to get it out before St. Patrick's Day however life kicked in and it just wasn't meant to be however you can get it and be ahead of the game for next year!  Again, it comes in both tagger and full size:

You can find these - and all my scraps - at the store HERE.


And finally, for all the taggers out there, I have a tag template for you, just in time for spring!!  I made this in response to a challenge in a group and thought I would share it all with you.  The template looks like this:





and is available in both .pspimage and .psd formats.  Here are a couple of tags made with the template:








And here are the links for the template:

Thank you Mary - you did a fantastic job!

Good News

Well I have some wonderful news!  The store I am selling at - Scrappin' With Friends - will NOT be closing!!  I am so glad to hear this as I have made some good friends there and really hated to see the store close.  So anyone looking to purchase my scrapping items may still do so!!

My Selling Status

I am just writing to let you all know that I have put in my notice at Sunflower Scraps Boutique and as of April 28, 2011, I will no longer be selling my scraps there.  I wish all the designers and the store continued success.  Additionally, as it stands now, my other store - Scrappin' With Friends - is set to close down end of May.  So if any of you are interested in purchasing any of my items, you might wanna scoot on over to one of them and grab them while you can.  I am not sure if SWF will be doing a 'closing sale' - if they do, I will probably take part.  If/When that happens, I will keep you posted.

Currently I am not sure what I will be doing once I am no longer with these stores.  I have not had much luck in regards to selling scraps - mine just don't seem to 'interest' many people (and for those who HAVE purchased my items, I wish to say right now, THANK YOU!!  It is very very much appreciated!!).  If I thought that there were people interested in purchasing them, then I would continue to find another store and try selling however at this point, I am undecided, so if anyone would like to give some input, I'm all ears.

I will continue to offer freebies here and there, participate in blog trains as the opportunity arises and will see what else comes my way.  I am not quitting, just looking for some feedback to determine if continuing digital scrapping and designing is actually wanted by others, because honestly, if no one wants it or likes it or will use it, why bother?  It's just nice to know you are liked and appreciated, that's all.

Anyways, for those who have followed me, for those who have liked me, downloaded my stuff, and even purchased my scraps, I sincerely, genuinely thank you.  It is because of you that I have hung in this long.  I hope that you stick around, check back from time to time and continue to find stuff that you like and will use.

If anyone uses my scraps, templates (etc), please feel free to share them with me!  I would love to see it - and would love to show it off here on my blog!!

Grand Opening and Freebie!

Good Morning Everyone!

Yep, it's me, up! Bright and early! Can ya handle it? I'm not sure I can! This ol' insomniac is having a tough time with the 'evil dayglow ball' hanging in the sky..... eeeeek! I'm usually sleeping around now, however Wes and I have been trying to get ourselves back on a semi-normal schedule after being totally out-of-whack (even for us) for about the last 2 weeks.


One of the things I have been doing while I have been awake, getting the sleep schedule back 'in schedule' has been working on some scraps for you all, and for the grand opening of the store, which runs from today to the 31st! I am really excited about this. One of the things I worked on was the collab kit to celebrate the opening of the new store. It is called "New Beginnings" and has some wonderful creations for 43 designers (including yours truly!) and can be found HERE. To get this Collab FREE, add this collab in your shopping cart, make sure you purchase other products for a minimum of $ 7.50 and then enter this coupon code with your check out: NEW_KK_Collab. Here is what my portion of the collab looks like (which comes in both full size AND tagger size):





We also have a Grand Opening Blogtrain, with quite a few of the designers participating - check it out for some awesome freebies! We also have a lot of fun challenges at our forum, where you can earn points towards discounts at the store. You can read more about that, here. Oh! And be sure to sign up for our Newsletter, to see the fantastic daily freebies (I will be offering one on the 31st!).


And, as an added incentive, all my items are 15% off their already low prices!! I have both full size and tagger size items. So please, come and visit the store and see what we have to offer! I'm sure you won't be disappointed.


And on to why I'm sure you are here - the freebie! I made up a cluster frame to go along with my portion of the collab kit. It is available in both full size and tagger size, and is in .png format. It is in shade of bluish-teal and looks like this:




If you like what you see, be sure to check out the store for the collab kit, which has a full kit from me in it (12 papers and 24 elements in teals and blues)!!


Here are the download links for the freebie frames:


Cluster Frame - Full Size

Cluster Frame - Tagger Size




OK everyone....guess that's about it for me for today. Be sure to check back often as I am working on freebies for the blog, items for the store, and I will have a freebie in the store on the 31st (remember, subscribe to the newsletter to find out about mine and other freebies).


Also, thank you to Candy for letting me know that the cooking word art links were not working right. I have fixed them - and they should be working now. They can be found at this post. If you still have problems, let me know and I'll check them out!


Until later - take care and have a great one!

Wait 'til Ya Hear This!

Well, I am writing to let you know that I have signed up as an exclusive designer with a new store called Kreative Kreations Korner! I am very excited about this and hope that this is a start to a new, wonderful chapter in my life. I will be moving all the items I had at the Creativity Shack (which is no longer around, by the way) and move them over to the new store, as well as load up a few new things along the way. When they are available, you will be able to find them HERE. Please be sure to come and check me out - and the other wonderful, talented designers there as well!! We look forward to having you there!

I have also signed up for a couple of blog trains that will be travelling through in the next few months. I am looking forward to getting involved in them again, and getting my creative juices flowing. I will keep you posted when I have the dates and such for you all. Be sure to stop by for some wonderful freebies!

Also, for those who don't know, I started writing tutorials a few months back (mostly sig tag tutorials at the moment, however I hope to expand to other kinds at some point). For those who are interested in checking them out, they can be found here: WillowRaven's Tutorials. All the tutorials are copyright compliant, too. Be sure to snag my blinkie while you are there.

Thanks again for all your wonderful words and support - it has meant so much to me.
