I won!!!!!

Wow - I entered a sketch challenge for May and I won!!! I am so excited! Click the blinkie to see Angie's blog!

Here is my layout using my Over The Moon kit!

So much to show you!

Well, we have had a fabulous weekend with friends and Pompey and Lily are now exhausted - everyone left about half an hour ago! So, I wanted to tell you all about what's new at Scrap That Idea, but I also am aware that you are waiting for the alpha for Natural Beauty. So, I promise to give you that tomorrow as I have a freebie add on for my new kit to give you today. First up I am going to show you our June store collab kit called Beach Hut (CT layouts to follow tomorrow) - we are really proud of this one and it was inspired by a photo that I took last year when we went to Exmouth with the dogs. This is the photo....

And this is what the MASSIVE kit looks like - if you like it, you can pick it up here.

You can get this awesome kit for just $4, but that's not all - inside is a coupon for $5 off your next purchase of $10 or more. What an amazing deal!!

I also have a new kit for you in store and it's called 'Ahoy Shipmate' and is great for scrapping kids at the beach! It's got a nautical theme and as it's got red, white and blue in it, I can envisage some July 4th layouts too!! LOL! this is what it looks like and you get pick it up for just $3 until the end of Tuesday.

And this is some of what my creative team have done with it - more stunning work from them!





And to the freebie - here it is a simple frame cluster to give you a sample of the kit itself. Enjoy! Back tomorrow with some CT layouts for Beach Hut and the alpha for Natural Beauty. TTFN.

More elements for Natural Beauty

Hello everyone! Wow, what a week it's been - very, very busy and as we have a house full this weekend, it's not going to ease anytime soon. BUT, the sun is shining and that makes everything fantastic! Anything can be handled in the sunshine, don't you think? I am currently contemplating how I can keep my house dog hair free for a weekend so that everyone doesn't leave here covered in it!! Any ideas? LOL!

OK, so have you voted in my poll? You can see it in the top left of my blog - basically, I just want to know if you like templates? I am thinking of maybe making templates from a few of my layouts to give to you and perhaps the occasional template challenge too ;). Also, have you signed up to my newsletter? In my first issue, I had a money off my store coupon, so you missed that if you're not signed up, but there are more specials coming up over the next few weeks, so be sure to sign up now!

And did you pick up my Colour Me Happy kit yet? Here's a reminder of what it looks like and you can pick it up in store for just $4 by clicking the preview.

Back to today's freebie and I have the rest of the elements for Natural Beauty - click the image to download. Be sure to pick up the first set which I posted yesterday because this kit will only be available until the next freebie kit is released (Monday 8th June). I will see you either tomorrow or Saturday with the alpha. TTFN (for Lidia, that means Ta Ta For Now!)

Challenges and kits galore!

Well, a lot to tell you today, so I will get straight to it! You'll need to check back later for the start of my latest freebie kit, but for now, it's all about the challenges and new kits!

I have entered two challenges this week - the first I am not eligible to win, but as it's my dear friend Stacey hosting the template challenge, I really wanted to play along! So, you need to check Stacey's blog for the details, but here is what I did - I used her 'Serenity' kit to make it and the template is by Sara Wise. Great challenge Stacey (especially the amazingly generous $20 prize)!!

And the second challenge is for scrap.n.art journey - it's a sketch challenge and I used my Over The Moon kit for this one. Be sure to check Angie's blog for the challenge details - you have until the end of the week! This is my layout:

OK, now onto the new releases from the other girls at Scrap That Idea and the layouts I have done with the kits. First up is Stacey's kit called 'Dancing Queen' - very funky kit indeed and it's HUGE! This is my layout and below is a clickable preview to the store.


Next up is Sara's kit called 'Just Peachy' - it's really gorgeous and you're going to love it! This is what I did with it and again, the preview is clickable.


And finally, Mel has two kits this week (is that girl a scrapping machine or what?)!! The first is called 'Lovely' - fab colours - this is my layout:


And this one is called 'Happy Birthday to You' and is full of birthday doodles - great fun. This is my layout and below is the clickable preview. Happy Scrapping!!

Colour Me Happy and a freebie!

Today is new kit day and I have a really versatile kit for you called Colour Me Happy. I really enjoyed making this one - it has girly pink and lilac in it, but it also has some blue and green which means you can scrap boys too! If you are subscribed to my newsletter, you'd have seen the kit already when I sent out my very first issue yesterday. If not, don't worry - you can still pick it up in store for just $3 until the end of Tuesday (midnight MST). Here is what it looks like and the preview is clickable to the store if you like it.

And these beautiful layouts are what some of my creative team have done - gorgeous as always girls! More layouts to show you in a day or two.





So, that was your inspiration - feel free to scraplift, I am sure the girls would be honoured if you wanted to do that - but be sure to post the layouts in the Scrap That Idea gallery so that we can all see them and you could be featured in the next newsletter.

Back to what many of you will have come for - the freebie!! I have a cluster frame and matting strips for you today - take a look! Click the preview to download and remember to check back tomorrow - there is a new freebie kit starting!

Check out Stacey's Challenge and a QP

I am really excited about Stacey's template challenge over the coming week to win a $20 gift certificate and I couldn't resist having a play myself (even though I am not eligible to win)!! Go check out Stacey's blog for more details about the challenge, but just wanted to let you know she has a 20% off sale at her store in advance of the challenge starting on Monday - check this out! I will show you my layout on Monday too!

In other news, here is a QP from Cheryl using my Over the Moon kit - you can pick it up on her blog by clicking the preview - it's absolutely gorgeous!! Remember to leave some love!

General chit chat!!

So, what is everyone doing this weekend? It's a public holiday in England on Monday, so we have a long weekend! woo hoo! Hubby is going away with the boys to watch Portsmouth play in their last match of the season, so I am home alone with Pompey and Lily! Apparently, the weather is going to be GORGEOUS, so I think a few countryside walks are in order for the three of us. We were originally intending to have a barbeque this weekend and it would have been perfect weather, but hubby got his weekends mixed up and we are having it next weekend instead which means it will probably rain then!! We'll have a house full next weekend and then the weekend after, I am going for my scrapping retreat - BLISS!

I'll be back later to tell you about a challenge Stacey is running and expect my first newsletter in your inboxes tomorrow if you have signed up!! TTFN.

Have you been over the moon?

Just a reminder that the kit in store this week is Over the Moon which looks like this:


If you haven't got it yet, don't delay - look here to see some CT LOs using it and here to see more CT LOs and get the freebie add-on if you missed it on Monday.
