New Kit and FREEBIES

Whether tales of today or memories of old, there are forever stories waiting to be told. As memory keepers, we are the story tellers, and in our own unique and creative ways, we weave together photos and memories, preserving details and emotion, in a way that ensures our lives, our stories, and our history will never be forgotten. For this kit in the We Are Memory Keepers series, ribbons take center stage.

Here's Scrappin Serenity's Kit:
 


And there's a 12x12 Quick Page Set Also:

I have awoken from hibernation! LOL No, not really, but it's been so long since I've done a blog post that it sure seems like it! My designers have released a bunch of stuff during that time, so here's what I've got for you!

Let's start with Scrappin' Serenity! She recently released Winter Wishes to her store at Stuff to Scrap! Here's a preview (linked) of this fun, winter-themed kit:


I love the polar bear, penguin and the mug of hot chocolate! :) There is also a set of coordinating quickpages.

Here is a layout I did with the kit (not sure why the shadowing became so pronounced after I resized...hmmm):



Two Moose Designs has several new releases in the store at The Studio! They too have a winter-themed kit, called Winter Fun. It has a purple/blue/brown color scheme, which makes it a bit different from some other winter kits. Here is a preview (linked) of the kit:



                                     

There is also sets of solids, clusters and word art available separately! Here's a layout I did with it:


I also did a Facebook timeline with it:


Two Moose also has something new for 2013! It's called The Basics and includes basic digiscrap supplies in neutral colors. The first two sets are available now, Black Solids and Brown Solids. The different shades are gorgeous! Check them out:



You can also go to their Facebook Page and give them your suggestions for the next stash-building pack! Cool! Here is a layout I did using the Blacks and another Two Moose kit, I Am {Organized} (more on that in a minute!!!:


So, the I Am {Organized} kit I used above is another new thing from Two Moose for 2013! It is the first in a series of I Am kits! They're designed to focus on US! For now, you'll have to make do with this "preview"...the full kit will be released in their store on January 15!!

Scrappy Cocoa also has some new things for you, including some new templates! The first set goes with her White Christmas kit, released last month. Here's a preview:


Here is a layout I did with one of the templates:



I used a kit that Scrappy Cocoa JUST released to her store at The Studio! In fact, it's on sale now for 40% off...it's called What A Wonderful World. I LOVE this kit! It's full of bright, cheery colors and fun elements. Here's a preview (linked):


Isn't it great?!? It's sure to brighten your dull winter days! There are also some extra packs available, including The Extras (BB page, clusters and paint smears), The Pint Rings (watercolor rings), Journal Cards and a set of solid papers. Each of these extras are also available for 40% off!

There's also a coordinating template set releasing on January 16th! here's a sneak peak:


Here's a layout I did with one of them:


(The kit is TBA....hehehe....you'll just have to wait!!)

Lastly, there's another template set in her store, Multiplicity v. 2. Here's a preview of the set:


Here is a layout I did with it...I don't usually journal much on my pages, but I scrapped this page right after the Newtown, CT tragedy. My own baby is 6 years old and it hit close to home. I could see HIS face in so many of those little faces. So here it is (I used a kit from Colie's Corner called Carry On):


I hope you've enjoyed these kits! Go hit the stores and grab your favorites! Happy Scrapping!!!

Recent Release Post #3, Featuring Scrappin' Serenity (and a FREEBIE)

So, let's start by saying I have been a BAD, BAD CT member lately!! Life has been crazy and I haven't blogged about lots of new releases (I even missed DSD!!). So what I've decided to do is break it down into THREE separate posts. Each post will focus on one designer. I hope that will make it easier to keep up with! LOL You may also find some freebies sprinkled in ;-)

Last, but certainly not least, in my Recent Release Post series, is Scrappin' Serenity. She has two awesome new kits for you.

The first kit is called Fabulously Fall. It is chock full of Fall papers and elements, AND includes some Halloween and Thanksgiving elements as well, making it your go-to kit for all things Fall!!! It (and it's quickpage set) are currently on sale for only $2 EACH!!! Here is a preview:



Here is a layout I did with it:



Scrappin' Serenity's newest release is an absolutely GORGEOUS kit, called Let Me Count the Ways. The soft greens, grays and corals are stunning together...this may be one of my favorite kits ever!! It is also on sale for only $2 (quickpages on sale too), but only for a limited time...so HURRY!!!! Here is the preview:


Isn't it fabulous!?!? Here are a couple of layouts I did with it:



I love how the colors work so well with black and white photos. Sometimes it's hard to find a good kit to use with B&W's! This one is perfect!

Since I only did one layout with Fabulously Fall, I decided to make you a freebie to coordinate with it! Just click the preview to go to mediafire to download.


Recent Release Post #2, Featuring Scrappy Cocoa (and a FREEBIE)

So, let's start by saying I have been a BAD, BAD CT member lately!! Life has been crazy and I haven't blogged about lots of new releases (I even missed DSD!!). So what I've decided to do is break it down into THREE separate posts. Each post will focus on one designer. I hope that will make it easier to keep up with! LOL You may also find some freebies sprinkled in ;-)

The next designer in my "Recent Release" series (hahaha) is Scrappy Cocoa. She has released three template sets, two kits, and a collab kit! Her first release is a beautiful kit called "So Thankful". It's full of vintage-y elements and lovely earthy tones! You can pick up separate pieces, such as the page kit, clusters, stamps and word art, or you can get So Thankful: The Collection at a MAJOR price break! Here are your previews:







There is also a template set:


Here is a layout I did with the kit:


And here are some layouts I did using the templates. The first one uses another recent release from Scrappy Cocoa (keep reading!). The second one uses a recent release from Scrappin' Serenity (see Recent Releases Post #3):




Steph teamed up with Nibbles Skribbles and Flower scraps for a cool hunting collab! Open Season is  THE kit for scrapping any hunting pictures you might have! There's even an add-on called She Hunts Too, for all of you female hunters! Cool! You can get the page kit, the add-on, a set of messy stamps, a set of solid papers, a bonus alpha or Open Season: The Collection (which is currently 42% off!!). Here are your previews:





Pretty neat! I didn't have any hunting pictures, but I did have some pictures of some deer, so I scrapped those:



Scrappy Cocoa also released another template set called Multiplicity! These templates are GREAT for scrapping larger numbers of photos! Here's a preview:


I paired one of these templates with Two Moose Design's Serendipity kit for my Texas Skies layout:


Steph's newest release is Just Be Happy! What a great theme!!! It's full of cheerful yellows, blues greens, and browns. You can pick up the page kit, a set of clusters, a set of messy stamps, a bonus alpha, and some solid papers OR, surprise! you can get Just Be Happy: The Collection. ALL of these are currently 40% off, so hurry...The Collection is an AMAZING deal at that price, but it won't last long! Here are your previews:







There is also a template set, which was a surprise, even to her CT! LOL I haven't even had a chance to play with it yet, but it's also 40% off:


Since this is a new kit, I've only had a chance to do one page with it...it's the one from a little further up in this post where I used a So Thankful template. Here it is again:


As I only had one layout with this kit to show you, I decided I'd make you a little freebie to go along with it! Just click the preview to go to mediafire for the download. Don't forget to look for Recent Release Post #3 (you may find a freebie there, too?!?!?)!!
