Do you have a Love Bug?

Do you have a Love Bug?
I have two of them: a three-and-a-half year old love bug named Nolan and a 16-month old love bug named Ian.
They are super sweet very cuddly, and all around fun kids.  I happen to think they are pretty cute too lol.  Yes!  They do have a feisty side, but in general they are my little love bugs!

This is where today's new release comes into play.  Today I am releasing a brand new kit called Love Bug

It is a cute gender neutral kit so you can scrap all your sweeties and sweet moments!  The kit was actually named after my oldest son.  When he was a baby I started calling him Love Bug.  Later I also started calling him Buggie because not only was he a love bug, he was a snuggle bug, and cute as a bug!  I thought there had to be others out there that needed a Love Bug kit!  And so Love Bug the kit was born.  Love Bug is regularly only $4!  However you can grab it on sale for only $3!  What a lovely deal!  :)

I know you probably want to see some example layouts right?  Here you go!

If you'd like to go take a closer look at Love Bug you can head over to my shop at Gingerscraps.

I (along with most of the designers and CT at Gingerscraps) have been working on a little Halloween treat for you!  Be sure to come back next weekend to participate in Gingerscraps Halloween Bash!  There will be lots of freebies via a blog train!  So I don't have a freebie for you today, but next week you will have a Halloween themed mini from me.

Take care of yourself and your memories... and happy scrapping!

Psst... come here and see this sneaky peek.

I have a sneak peek of my new kit coming out on Friday!

For my photog friends... check out this give-a-way!

For those of you who love photography I wanted to let you know about a "little" give-a-way Paislee Press is hosting on her blog.  You can win a one year subscription to Clickin' Moms- a forum for photography minded women who are learning and growing together.  I have heard wonderful things about the Clickin' Moms community, and I've wanted to join for awhile now, but with my scrappin' habit I couldn't justify spending more money lol.  I hope I win, or if I don't I hope you do!  Go get more info on the contest and Clickin' Moms on Paislee Press' blog HERE.
Good luck if you enter!

I am amazed at this deal!
Gingerscraps is having a special deal for today's special date!  You can get 10 products for $10.... yep that is one dollar per product.  Most of the designers including myself contributed a full sized kit.  This isn't just measly products.  These are awesome goodies!  What a great deal!  You will have enough scrap stuff until 11/11/11! LOL!  There are two different bundles for you to choose from (or select them both) each with 10 products in them.  Whenever you spend $10 in the GS shop you will have the opportunity to get the collab for $1, so not only will you get 10 products (or 20 if you buy them both) you will get the chance to purchase the Good Morning Collab for one buck!  This just makes my head spin! LOL!



Here is the preview for bundle one


Here is the preview for bundle two

and here is the Good Morning Collab preview (you qualify to get this for $1 if you spend $10 in the shop)

I love those yummy elements
Go visit Gingerscraps and check out this awesome opportunity!

FREE Alpha, the PREVIEW of my NEW kit, a sale, and a COUPON too!

I hope you like freebies!
Because...
I have a freebie for you!
It is called Crepe Paper Alpha.


BUT...
first check out the preview for my new kit


It is called Thoughts Of You, and it is full of all kinds of ways to commemorate beauty and love.

It is on sale

This kit will be 25% off the entire weekend!  All new GS products are 25% off the first weekend they are released.  BUT WAIT (lol sorry for sounding like an infomercial) I also have a 15% off coupon just for my blog readers!  So if you get this kit on the weekend it is released you can get 40% OFF the kit! You are welcome to use the coupon one time on anything in my shop though. 


Coupon Code: Happy2Day_UM
(enter the coupon in the box that says coupon code after you add the product to your cart)
(The 15% off coupon will expire on Monday... so will the 25% off sale)

I also have a new template pack just released!
It is on sale for 1.75!  If you use that coupon code you will be getting quite a deal on these fabulous templates.


Now on to your freebie!
This alpha coordinates with the new kit.  The alpha has a crinkly paper/embroidery look to it, and is a very pretty shade of green.  It really reminded me of the texture of streamers/crepe paper that people hang up for birthday parties.  I think it turned out really cute, and I hope you like it.  It is pre-shadowed (at 120) with a slight bevel so you can use it as is and have it look like it "sinks" into your paper, or you can add a bit more shadow to it to make it look like it is raised on the page.  When I made the preview below I did not add a shadow to the alpha. 

If you'd like this alpha it is ALL YOURS!  All you have to do is:
1) leave a comment on my blog and
2) click HERE
to download from 4shared
(I hope the ads aren't too annoying for you!) 

Even though I am now selling items in a shop, I'm still going to try to give away lots of awesome freebies.  Why do I do it?  First of all I just like giving away freebies.  It is fun to give back and give scrappers a chance to get goodies for free.  When I first started scrapping I downloaded my fair share of freebies.  Second of all I am hoping that when you get some $$ in your scrapping budget you will swing by my store first!!  I know I am just starting out and I just started my  third row of products in my shop lol, but I plan on filling it up for you.  I want to eventually become "your designer."  :)  Which reminds me... if you ever have a kit request I would love to hear it!  

Now last but certainly not least...
here are some wonderful Creative Team Layouts using Thoughts Of You:
By Kim



By Katie



 by Roxana


Gingerscraps announced an amazing opportunity for getting your pages printed!  If you enter the Gingerscraps code at checkout you can get 10% off your entire printing order at PERSNICKETY PRINTS.  Persnkickety already has really great prices for printing a 12x12 page, but you can get an even lower price using the GS code!  The details about the code is in the GS shop


Another great opportunity it the GS daily download!
Check it out on the GS BLOG
You can get a full Halloween kit (that is really cute I may add) for free by participating.

 Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Enjoy your day... then scrap it so you it will be unforgettable :)

Challenging behavior!

Having a three year old boy I understand all too much about challenging behavior!  Good thing he is sweet and cute, because he sure does have his challenging moments LOL!  Now it is YOUR turn to be challenging!  Woo hoo!  (Hehe!)  Come join me in the Paper To Digi Scrap Lift Challenge at Gingerscraps!  You can find all the info right HERE, but basically we are using this amazing paper scrapped  page (shown below) my karenika as inspiration to create a digital page.

Looks like fun huh?  Well it is!  Who doesn't love being just a little bit challenging Haha!

Here is the page I made for this challenge using karenika's paper page as a guideline:
I used Water Getaway by MandyMade in my layout.


I hope to see you all over there!!
