"Boys Club" - On Cyber Monday

I have a fun new collab kit to tell you about today. It's by The Scrappy Kat and Mad Genius Designs and is called "Boys Club" and is perfect for grungy boys! I love the elements in this kit and can't wait to use them on some of my son's pictures. The best part is, this week you can get the kit for free on their blogs. How's that for a Cyber Monday deal! :) Free!

Here's a look at Kat's portion. Just click on it to head over to her blog, where she'll give ya the links and hook you up with MGD's portion.

And here's a layout I just made of my son and my sis, hangin' out.

"Old Fashioned Christmas"

Check out this gorgeous new Christmas trip from JW-Digiscraps. It's called "Old Fashioned Christmas" and I just love the colors! And this weekend you can get it for just $2 (along with her whole store over at Divine ~ or if you buy it at STS today, it's even cheaper!).
Check out this layout I made with it. I love the carol paper!

Great STS Thanksgiving Challenge (with free mini kit!!!)!

How would you like this Christmas mini-kit and a whole bunch of matching brag book pages for free? Well, you can if you hurry on over to the STS forum and participate in today's special Challenge A Day. It is a Thanksgiving Day brag book exchange!!!

Black Friday!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I sure am, turkey is prepped, pies are made, and my stomach is already growling! But after I stuff myself tomorrow, I am definitely heading over to the STS Black Friday sale. I have no idea what these gals are going to be offering, but they so often have great sales that I know this one is going to just be phenomenal! I can't wait to check out the deals! Here's the flyer for it (linked to the store):
Also, Janice, of JW-Digiscraps has this PU Grab bag of stuff over at Divine on Black Friday. I've seen what's in this thing and it is AWESOME and HUGE and really, really cheap! In December all the parts will go into the store separately, so grab it while you can!
In addition to that, there will be freebies on the Divine forum from Janice and other designers from Thursday through December 9 (I think). AND she has freebies on her blog for you Friday too! :) Wow!

A kit for your "Family Fun"

The Scrappy Kat and SAHM Scrapper just teamed up to create a fun new kit just in time for all those fireside board game nights. We are board game fanatics in my house, so I am so excited about this new kit and can't wait to start using it! Here's a preview of Kat's part:

And the good news is that this week you can download the kit for FREE on their blogs! How great is that?! Papers are today and Elements are Tuesday. You know the drill. Then check back later in the week because I'll have a QP for you as well! Right now, head on over to The Scrappy Kat blog for the download links!

French Gypsy - GORGEOUS new kit!

You have got to check out this gorgeous new kit from JW-Digiscraps. I love all her kits, but Janice has really outdone herself this time with the color palate. I think it may be my favorite yet and have lots of layouts planned for it. First though, I wanted to share one I did for an album I'm working on for my grandparents. Aren't they cute? :)
The kit is called French Gypsy and has stuff you can use for all sorts of different layouts, from travel to family. I've linked it for you, so all you have to do is click and head over to STS to check it out!

Great $2 Tuesday Deals

So if you missed some of the excitement over at STS this past weekend (as I did), you're in luck today. The PP for Kat's Speed Scrap is now on sale over there. Head over to check it out along with some other awesome deals!

Here Kitty, Kitty...

Here is a super-cute kit that I just have to tell you about. It's from The Scrappy Kat and was made in honor of one of my fellow CT's cats. Check out the cute little girl elements ~ they're my favorite thing in here! You can snag the kit over at Stuff to Scrap and she also has some darling QP's for sale in case you need to scrap some in a hurry!
Here are a couple pages I did of our "first child".

Getting smacked around by his cousin:

My son just learned to say "c'mere kitty," so maybe I can get some pics of him with one of our friends' cats soon. I'm dying to use some of the cute kitty and kiddo elements too!

It's Harvest Time!

I grew up in farm country in Missouri, so this new kit from Janice really says fall to me. You're going to love it. It's beautiful and she's got several add-ons that coordinate, so really you could do all your fall pictures with just one kit. Wow!

Here's an invitation I made for our Thanksgiving dinner using this cute new kit:

And here's a preview of the main portion:The Thanksgiving Add-On:
The Word Art/Frames:
The Alpha:
The Cardstock add-on:
The Worn Papers add-on:

And finally, a cute Halloween Add-On. You can also get all of these in one bundle in Janice's Store!
See what I mean? Huge! You can pick these up at either Stuff to Scrap or Divine Digital!
