A Touch of Romance elements

So you all seem to like "A Touch of Romance" - thank you all so much for your lovely comments, I love reading them and I know Stacey does too. Today, I want to show you mine and Stacey's LOs with this kit - first is Stacey's - gorgeous, don't you think? Her daughter is sooo cute. And then mine which is a photo I've used before, but it fits so well.... It's my sister's wedding and we're all on the LO - my Mum and Dad, me & hubby, my sister & hubby and my brother. I love those photos!

So, here are the first set of elements you've come for - click the preview to collect mine and click Stacey's preview! Check back tomorrow for more elements. TTFN.

Coupon alert!

Just wanted to let you know that the 30% coupon that was inside the Fresh Ideas collab expires at midnight tonight - not sure what the timezone is called, but it's Colorado and GMT -7. LOL! If you've already used it - that's fine, it's valid as many times as you want to use it. That's all! See you later!

More Beautiful Garden

OK, I am going to show you some more CT LOs from Beautiful Garden. First I should warn you to sit down comfortably, because the wonderful talent that is on my CT may cause you to fall over in sight of such beauty!! Seriously, though, these ladies are so talented and do some awesome work!




And, these two beautiful LOs are from Peni (see Peni's blog here) - she applied for my CT when I had my call and she was in my final cut, so I asked her to be a guest CT for me and she agreed! You'll be glad she did when you see what she's done - beautiful! Thank you so much Peni.


Remember, you can pick up the kit until tomorrow for the sale price of $3 - click the image to take you to the store to pick it up. See you tomorrow!

A Touch of Romance collab

OMG - first, I must tell you - this is my 600th post!! Can you believe it? Amazing!

Anyway, back to business!! LOL! Today is the release of my latest collab with the lovely Stacey (did you already guess?)!! Last time, we collaborated, we did Mon Amie and it was very popular, so we decided to stick with the theme of vintagey chic and so Stacey chose the swatch and I chose the name and A Touch of Romance was born!! This is what my wonderful creative team did with it - truly inspiring....





I have an amazing LO from Stacey too, but I'll show you that with mine tomorrow. For now, take a look at both full previews to the kit so that you know what you'll be collecting....


Here are the previews to the papers which is what you will get today - click the links below my preview to download and click Stacey's preview to go to her blog! Don't forget to leave some love! This kit, by the way, will be available indefinitely - it won't be going to the store, so no need to hurry with collecting it if you are short of bandwidth!! LOL! See you tomorrow with some elements.

Well, it's Scrap That Idea newsletter day and that means one thing - there are bargains in our store today!! I'll tell you about the other girls offerings a bit later, but for now, here is what is on offer from me! First up is my brand new kit called "Beautiful Garden" which is on sale at $3 for 48 hours - after which time it will go back up to $4. Go grab it while it's cheap!! lol! Here are some LOs from my CT - there are more to show you, but there is only so much beauty you can look at in one day!! I am so proud of my CT - they all have such different styles and I hope it helps to give you inspiration in your own scrapping.




This is what the whole kit looks like - I hope you will like it and can't wait to see what you all do with it. Please put LOs in the Scrap That Idea gallery, as each newsletter, the other girls and I are choosing our gallery stand-out LOs to feature in the newsletter. It could be you next week!

QP freebie

OMG - I don't remember if I told you about Cheryl's QP freebie for My Friend's Wedding? It's so beautiful - you must go see it - click here to go to her blog. Remember to leave some love if you snag it! Don't forget, you only have until Monday to snag this kit for free because it will be in the dollar bin at Scrap That Idea after that. Below that is a sneak peek of the collab starting Monday.... with one of my most lovely Scrap That Idea friends - can you guess which one? LOL!

Here's the sneak peek!

Stuff.....

I've not been very good at giving you updates on what's happening outside of scrapping recently - most importantly, with Pompey and Lily! Well, Lily made a full recovery from her neck strain and is now back to her normal, hyperactive self! Pompey had trouble with a tooth which he chipped a few years ago and it seemed to get a little infected. A dose of antibiotics and all is fine with him! Pompey is starting to turn into a typical lab - he loves nothing more than sleeping on the sofa (when he's not eating or walking). Very lazy, but very comforting - he doesn't even mind a cuddle now and then - he used to always turn his nose up at any such affection! LOL! Lily still loves cuddling lots, but I've noticed that she appears to follow hubby around now, rather than me. I think I upset her when I went to LA, so I have some making up to do!! We just got back from a walk and they wandered off and lost me. I noticed that when I found them, it was Lily who was the most stressed out - she came running over to me immediately, whereas Pompey plodded over to me at a slow pace as if to say "where have you been - I was here the whole time"!!

So, me personally, I've been busy with work and designing - both full time jobs!! LOL! This weekend, hubby and are are emptying our loft so that we can do a mini-conversion. Not a full conversion, just enough for a little craft room. A couple of velux windows, insulate, board and plaster. Then I'll have a desk up there so that I can leave all my supplies out and not have to put them away all the time - something I am really bad at and so tend not to get them out in the first place because of it!! LOL! As there is only a ladder to the loft, Pompey and Lily won't be able to come up and get covered in glitter - shame!

We also have hubby's Mum for lunch on Sunday - a late Mother's Day get together. So, that doesn't leave much time for designing or scrapping...! But, you'll be pleased to know there is a new kit for the store to be released on Sunday and a new freebie collab on Monday. You'll be excited when you hear who with and see the kit, I'm sure!  Hubby is going out with the boys tonight - the hubbies of the girls I went out with a couple of weeks ago. So, I will have some computer time all to myself tonight - woo hoo!

Anything else? Let me see..... I don't think so, but I'll take this opportunity to remind you about The Land of Make Believe which you can pick up in store for just $4 {insert big smile}!!

An alpha and a QP

Before I let you have the alpha for My Friend's Wedding, I must tell you about a beautiful QP that my CT member Cheryl has done using The Land of Make Believe. I am sure you won't want to miss it - take a look at the preview and click it to visit Cheryl's blog. If you like the kit - you can buy it here.

And here is the alpha you've come for - it's a wire alpha - I hope you like it! click the preview to pick it up and don't forget - you have until Monday to collect all parts of this kit and then it will be going into my store at Scrap That Idea. *Links now expired*

Alphas

Did I tell you that I put some past freebie alphas in store recently? They were popular at the time and so if you missed them, they are just $1 each at my store. Go check then out by clicking the previews. See you later with a freebie alpha to go with My Friend's Wedding.

The elements for My Friend's Wedding

Before I let you have the elements for My Friend's Wedding, I wanted to show you the other LOs from my wonderful CT using my new kit called "The Land of Make Believe" - they are all absolutely stunning! You can pick up the kit at my store here.




OK, so back to today and here are the elements for My Friend's Wedding. Check back tomorrow for the alpha. Check out my previous blog post for a list of past freebies which I have now put into the store. This kit will follow them when my latest kit is posted next week. TTFN. *Links now expired*
