DDR Newsletter Freebie is by Me Today!

OMG I usually do a freebie for the newsletter Thursday or Saturday and I just spaced that I signed up for today. Fortunately is was already loaded into my store early but I forgot to advertise, so better go grab it right now because newsletter freebies are only up for a few days!

Grab Your Freebie Here

This is from my new collection, A Dream Come True. It is a paper stack that is not included in the paper stack pak, but gives you an idea of what my new "Paper Stacks" are like. It also includes a coordinating piece of word art.

Here's some inspiration for you. It's a layout using today's freebie and a frame from my A Dream Come True Cluster Frames Pak. This is my daughter-in-law with my grandson, Ryan.

If you are short on time my "Quick Paks" are for you. Pick up either my A Dream Come True Quick Paper Stacks or my A Dream Come True Quick Cluster Frames, or even both for beautiful scrapbook pages that look like they took hours rather than minutes to create!

Hope you enjoy your free goodies! Please take a minute to stop by my stop to browse and see what's new. Also there is a new FWP as of the 15th so check it out!

Happy Scrapping!

NSD Sale, NEW Quick Paks and Loads of Fun!

Wow I can't believe it's here already, National Scrapbook Day! It seems it was just yesterday that the scrapbook community had that horrible hosting network crash. What a terrible time for so many people...but here we are another year gone and so many exciting things happening this weekend!

Introducing my new Quick Paks! You have already seen the new Paper Stacks, and here are my new Cluster Frames! The whole idea behind the Quick Paks is to save you time just like quick pages, but offer so much more flexibility. Place a photo behind the frame and plop down on a paper of your choice or a quick paper stack and presto you have your page done. But feel free to customize it with more elements and word art...your imagination is your only limitation! Please note the cluster frames do contain BOTH internal and external shadows for optimum reality. Now go scrap some QUICK treasured memories!

Today I am giving away an awesome add-on mini kit from my Timeless Keepsakes Collection.

Aye Matey, the April Blog Train is Here!

The April Blog Train is leaving the station...all aboard for an adventure on the high seas! This month's theme is Pirates Not Allowed and is a friendly reminder that sharing digital scrapbooking kits, whether free or paid for is an act of piracy.

You have arrived here from ViolaMoni.

Here is my contribution to this wonderful free blog train!

Secure download here, here or here.

You will be downloading from the secure bulk file service, YouSendIt. You do not need an account to access the files. Just click on the link and download. No waiting, ads or viruses to worry about. I subscribe to the service for your security and convenience.

It was so convenient that this month's blog train theme was pirates because I was just getting started on a pirate kit for my grandson's bedroom. Will loves pirates! His mom redecorated his room with a pirate theme and we wanted to use framed scrapbook pages to hang on the walls. So I have a coordinating collection in my DDR store with a slightly expanded palette. I added some browns and golds but it still coordinates back beautifully to the blog train palette.
