Publisher's Picks Jan 5 -

My guest shop is open and it's my first Publisher's Pick at The Digital Press!! Publisher's Picks sales run Tuesday through Thursday each week and everything will be 50% off during the sale. 

In the sale this week I have some re-releases: 

Pocket Masks: 3x4" Digital PNG masks.

Pocket Masks: 4x6" Digital PNG masks.

Pocket Masks: 4x4" Digital PNG masks.

Pocket Masks: Card Fronts 4.25 x 5.5" Digital PNG masks.

And for the first time I'm making a bundle of all of them!!

Pocket Masks: All

Also I will have the Pocket Cuts: Winter Candyland journal cards available.

I'm doing something new at The Digital Press. I've split the digital PNG cards from the SVG/DXF cutting file version. And changed (lowered) the price. (No use buying something you're not going to use. Right?) Before the Publisher's Picks discount they are only $.50 per card!! Can't beat that for a cutting file price. And now, through Thursday, they're 50% off!!

I hope you'll come by and see us at The Digital Press. Check out the forums and challenges too. Did you know there are two hybrid challenges each month at TDP?

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon!!

The Closing of Scrap Orchard

It’s the end of an era. After providing a phenomenal place for scrappers to hang out and purchase quality (and might I add, reasonably priced) supplies for seven years, Scrap Orchard is closing its doors on Thursday, Dec 31 at 11pm Eastern time.

Over the years SO was at the forefront of “premiere” scrapbook shopping. I was an big fan of the store and more so the owners. I was horribly intimidated to start selling at this fantastic store that I had lurked in the forums for years. Kami had asked to join the team years ago, but I declined, so intimated by the talent already at SO.

I enjoyed shopping the huge sales in the Farmer’s Market, never sticking to my resolution to just spend a couple bucks. (But didn’t we all?) And then there were the fantastic events like Scrapper Bowl, Iron Scrapper (my personal fav) and Game On. And there were even live events like DigiScrapapalooza. I, unfortunately, didn’t have the nerve to attend these. But I sure wanted to.

Earlier this year I decided I was pulling myself too many ways. I pulled back from trying to design everything and narrowed my focus back to just hybrid products. I contacted Kami and she welcomed me with open arms. It was fantastic to be in that talent pool. And those enormously talented ladies were welcoming also.

I even got to meet a few of them last September. It was fantastic. If you want to talk about super nice people, it would have to include these people!!

It makes me so sad to say Scrap Orchard is closing. It makes me mad at myself that I didn’t ask Kami to join this group of wonderful individuals sooner. (No, really, these ladies are that fantastic, they are everything I wish I could be when I grow up, someday.)

I could go on and on about these ladies and this store but I won’t.  I’ve said more here than I’ve ever said here before that wasn’t related to a product. :)

On that note, I want to tell you all I will be opening a guest shop at The Digital Press starting January 2016. Will it be my shop’s permanent home? I don’t know, we’ll see how it goes. I did also want to mention I’m going to make some changes to how my products are sold. I’m pretty sure I can sell the cutting files alone, rather than with the templates, especially helpful for paper scrappers. And I have new products I can’t wait for you all to see.

I hope you will come over and check it all out starting Friday.
That’s all I have for now. I need to get back to work repackaging and packing up new products.

New Release – Mini Book Box

Hello All!! I have a new release coming out today that I’m super excited about.

 
I created this Mini Book Box for the DSD FWP Add on “I Like Big Books” Collab. Now that DSD is over it’s available as a stand alone purchase. (Although the whole kit was super cute!)

I especially love this one because it’s the perfect size for a gift card and maybe a couple sweets.

I made these with scrapbook cardstock papers.
Left: Constellation by Studio Calico
Right: Disney’s Frozen page kit by ek success

And this one with a kit from Nit Wit Collections, “Festive Floral”.

Download includes layered files in PSD and TIFF. Additional PNG and PDF formats included too. Can be cut directly onto cardstock (by hand) or with a cutting machine. Cutting files in SVG and DXF format for use with digital cutting machines.

This template was previously available as part of "I Like Big Books" Collab Add-on FWP from Scrap Orchard during DSD 2015. Please check your stash before purchasing.

And as always for the first week, this is available at 20% off!!

Before I forget the Hybrid Challenge is happening right now at Scrap Orchard. You can pick up this template, for free, and join us!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Hybriding!!

Halloween New Releases

I love this time of year! The decorations and scrap supplies are so fun, and here are a few things you’ll hopefully add to that list.

First up, some more in my Pocket Cuts line.

HoneyBee Tonya made a fantastic card with them.And Honey Bee Cindi included them in her digital layout.
  
And there is also an Insta Life version.

And Tonya knocked it out of the park with more projects.

And finally my favorite… the Witch’s Hat.
HoneyBee Lori:

Jen from my CT

Vicki from my CT

And now’s the time to be honest. You won’t find these in this week’s Fresh Fruit, because I forgot to advertise them, but I have marked them down to Fresh Fruit prices. So you can get these all for –20% for the next week.

New Release Thursday!!

Hello Everyone!! Just a quick note to let you know that I have
“new” releases going in my shop today.

These super fun photobooth props are essential for get togethers.

Here are a few I made up for use at a friend’s wedding reception.
(previously part of the Red Nose Charity Collab, please check your files before purchasing.)

Also I’m re-releasing my Monster puppet. This was available as a hybrid challenge in the SO forum not to long ago and if you missed it here’s your chance.

Here’s what my CT ladies and the SO Hybrid Bees did with it:

I knew he was a cutie, but I was absolutely thrilled when I saw that the CT ladies included their kiddos in the process!!

Don’t forget Fresh Fruit is always 20% off the first week!!

Oh almost forgot, next week’s release will get your Halloween hybrids off to witching good start!! ;)

Thank you so much and Happy Hybriding everyone!!
