ScrapMatters DSD Hop!

So are you having a most awesome DSD so far? I know I am - freebies, great sales, lots of fun games - this is the best weekend! So you've been hopping along and getting all the wonderful freebies from the ScrapMatters designers, right?

You should have just come from Amy's blog and next up you're going to head to Tamara's Facebook page! But before you go, here's my part of the hop!



Keep having a wonderful DSD weekend!

Happy DSD Weekend!

Happy DSD! This is one of the best weekend in the digi-world and I'm so excited this year - it's my first DSD as a designer! I've got so much excited news, so many new templates and not one, but TWO freebies for the weekend! So let's get started!

First up I want to announce my first ever guest spot! I'm super excited to announce that I am going to be a guest designer at ScrapMatters for the month of November! How awesome is that?! ScrapMatters has always been my digi-home - I started as a member and have been a ScrapMatter Girl, a CT member and now a designer! I was so excited when Amber invited me to be a guest this month. So be sure to keep any eye out for awesome, exclusive, new packs of templates there this month!

Since I'm spending one of the best weekends ever at ScrapMatters, I wanted to celebrate in a big way. I emailed the most awesome Melissa of Cluster Queen Creations and asked her if she wanted to get together for a little something-something. She said yes and we did more than just a little something-something. We're talking about one huge grab bag with 16 templates total! Can you believe it?! Check this out - just click the preview to head over to the store and see the full reveal!



But that's not all - a new month at ScrapMatters also means a new Mix A Kit selection! I whipped up this two pack to add to the mix this month!



I couldn't leave out Brownie Scraps, so I got my butt in gear and whipped up this awesome grab bag too! This one has 8 CT inspired templates at, get this, just .75 cents a template! How awesome is that?!

Now how about we get to what you really want - the free stuff! ;) Okay, okay. Today kicks off the awesome Blog Hop sponsored by the designers at Brownie Scraps!

You just came from the Little Bit Shoppe Designs blog. Next up you're going to head over to the Blue Heart Scraps blog - and don't forget, if you get lost just head back to the Brownie Scraps blog for the full list! Here's what I've got for you - just click the image to download :)



Now all that is left is to go, shop and enjoy the sales! What's that? Sales? Of course there's sales! Check these out:

Back to the Blog

So after taking a break, thinking about it and asking around, I have decided to come back to my blog. Plus my schedule has changed a bit lately and I have more time for stuff like blogging :)

So check back here often for updates, sales and announcements all things Scrappy Creations!

Farewell to Blogging

For now at least. The blog doesn't get the traffic that my Facebook page does. Plus I'm a terrible blogger! You should see my personal blog - ugh. Just terrible. But no worries - I'm not going anywhere. I've had a great first month. I just need to make the best use of my time so I have plenty of time for creating and designing. So to keep updated on all things Scrappy Creations, like me on Facebook or sign up for the newsletter!

2 Peeks & CT Announcement

So I've got three things to share today. Two peeks at the awesomeness coming out tomorrow and the long awaited CT announcement. I guess we'll start with the peeks. There's two fab packs coming out tomorrow and I'm kind of in love with both of them.





Next up, the announcement. I was pretty surprised at the amount of applicants I received. And the amount of talent! OMGosh it was overwhelming! I just didn't expect that kind of response being so new. I wanted so badly to say yes to everyone, and almost did until my sweet hubby reminded me I really shouldn't have that large of a team lol I already had a few fabulous ladies helping me out, so I told myself I wasn't going to go over 20. I ended up going just under that number and I'm so excited to introduce you to this fabulous team!



And be sure to check back soon for their pretty faces and bios under the "meet the ct" tab. I'm going to work on getting that updated here and there so you can too can get to know these awesome ladies. See you tomorrow with the product reveal and some awesome, awesome layouts!

New Releases 5/18/2012

Happy Friday! So since I completely spaced yesterday and forgot to post the sneak peeks here, today's releases might be a total surprise to you blog readers! If you happened to find your way over to the Facebook page though, you did get a chance to sneak a little peek. But let's move on to the important stuff - this week's releases!

First up, a fab pack of templates based off some recent layouts I made. Yeah, I know! I scrapped 4 whole layouts without templates! It's a miracle :) I love how these turned out and I'm super excited about showing them to you!





And here's the fabulous work done by the CT:

My other release this week is a pack of templates to make hybrid cards. These cards are sized 5.5x4 and super easy to use. I made these based off cards I've made in the past and if you've always been a little interested in trying hybrid, these are a great way to get started.



I've also got some fantastic news tomorrow, so be sure to check back again - you won't want to miss this!

New Releases 5/11/2012

Happy Friday! Can you believe we're already almost half way through the month?! Last weekend was such a whirlwind and it was so excited to be a part of iNSD as not just a shopper, but also as a designer! I had lots of fun and throughly enjoyed being on the designer end. Don't worry, I also really enjoyed being a shopper too!

I've got 3 great products out this week! First off is a set of 6 3x4 journal cards. I've noticed journal cards all over the place and I know I love to use them too. But not all kids include them and sometimes I find myself wishing I had one. Well, these templates are the perfect thing to have on hand. Each is a layered journal card that you can dress up to perfectly match any kit you're using!



Second I've got just the thing for those of you are still grumpy about the new Facebook Timeline. Dress up that new profile of yours with my cover photo templates. Each one is a perfect enlargement of the Timeline cover photo and once resized by the directions included, will sit quite pretty at the top of your Timeline profile. I've even included a blackout layout to give a guide as to where you profile picture sits so you don't end up covering up part of your pretty creation!



And last up is the template pack I contributed to the huge grab bag available last weekend! Each one of these templates has an awesome large photo spot. I love large photos right now and had a lot of fun creating this pack.



Grab all of these products this week at 30% off! (sale ends 5/17/2012)

Sneak Peek 5/10/2012

Yay! It's Thursday! Which means it's almost Friday - and it's time for a sneak peek! I've got two sets coming out this week and I'm pretty excited about both!





Be sure to check back tomorrow for the reveal!

Creative Team Call!

The call has now closed. Thank you to all that applied. Emails have been sent and the announcement will be made soon!

May Template Challenge

So, every month we're going to have a template challenge here on the blog. All you have to do is use one of the two freebies posted during the month on the Facebook page, make a layout and upload it to my gallery at the 'Roo. Then once you've got it uploaded, come back here and link it up in the comments. At the end of the month I will pick a winner to receive a $4.00 GC! So here's a reminder about the first template for the month. You can get started scrapping now or wait to see the next template this month (posting around the 15th). Your pick!

So here it is - the day has finally come! And I won't keep you waiting. You want to know where I'm going to be selling, right? Well, check it out:



Yep. I've opened up shop at Digiridoo Scraps! I've spent my fair share over there when I was on both Liz (Band Geek Designs) and Aly's (Truman Studio) CT's and have also gotten to know Marianne pretty well too. I've always thought about opening a store and when she posted the designer call over there, I had to take the chance. I was thrilled when she gave me the big yes!

So, I've got the three fabulous products that you got a peek of, plus a set in a huge grab bag with three other designers at the 'Roo and a last minute release I put together earlier today. I'm not going to waste any more time blabbing and show these previews and the fabulous layouts both my CT and the store's CT have created.
