New Kit, Layouts and a Freebie!

Hi All,

I released a new kit this week - Tea Party - and wanted to share a couple of layouts that Judy and Clara Sue created. I spent a LONG time making this kit....got a bit carried away to be honest. I love working with girly kits, so kept thinking "ok I'l just add one more element, then I'm done" but kept going and going!". Anyway, I was very pleased with the way it all turned out....and then seeing these gorgeous layouts made all the time and effort worthwhile!

The first two are from Judy.....I love the effects she uses on her layouts and she's always so creative when it comes to using kits! Also, the fact that she has such cute models (her granddaughters) helps!

Here's one from Clara Sue - isn't this the most adorable photo?? This is her youngest granddaughter - it seems like yesterday she was born, but she just celebrated her first birthday. I wish we'd had digi scrapping wqhen my Julie was a baby!

As always, if you have made a layout using any of my kits - old or new - I'd be delighted to feature them on the blog. Just send me a message either here or email me at scrappinsooze@cox.net

Now for the kit previews.....I've done two so you can see the papers more clearly. All elements are NOT shown on the preview....and you can get this kit along with all my other items for $2.00  at Ahhhscrap or ScrapMall- this is the last day of my $2.00 Sale though - so get t now while it's at a bargain price!! Just click HERE for more details.

...and here's your freebie - a QP  I made with this kit - just click here to get the download link.

That's it from me for today....remember to bookmark my blog or follow it so you won't miss out on any freebies! If you have a Facebook account then please add me to yout friends list - you'll find me HERE. Thanks to everyone who sent me a message or left a comment here on the blog - I appreciate it!

If you're taking the kids out "Trick or Treating" tonight then have fun and stay safe!

Midweek Freebie!

Hi All,

I've been working on some lace overlays and papers this week, as well as finishing off another kit (more on that later in the week) so I thought you might like a freebie! I've put together 3 lace papers for you and you can get them here. Please let me know if you have any problems with the download, as I've decided to give Rapidshare a try....

Here's the preview for the freebie. I hope you enjoy it!

Before I go, just a reminder that my $2.00 sale only has a couple of days to go - so please stop by either Ahhhscrap or Scrapmall to grab yourself a bargain or two!

Many thanks to everyone who left a comment on my last post or in my Shoutbox - every comment, no matter how short, is VERY much appreciated!

CT Intro and a Blog Freebie!

Hi All,

Big drum roll......

As promised I'm here today to introduce you to the newest member of my CT. As soon as I saw the sample layouts she sent me I knew I had to have her on the team! So here's a little about her...

Heather, from Texas, is fortunate enough to be a SAHM to her two young children and is happily married to her best friend, Jeff. She's been scrapping for over 15 years and digiscrapping for just over a year, using Photoshop Elements She loves to learn new scrapping techniques and says her style is constantly evolving....whatever she's doing, she's doing right because I love her style! You can check out her blog here and one of her online galleries here.

These are the layouts Heather has done so far with my latest kits - All Boy and Travel Bug  I love her journaling, which is something I don't do nearly enough of in my own layouts (note to self: "start adding more journaling!!")

To celebrate Heather joining the team I wanted to give you all a little gift....it's a Halloween sampler (see preview below). You can pick it up here. PLEASE leave a quick "hi" in the comment section below or in my Shoutbox to welcome Heather!

Just before I go, I wanted to mention to any members of Scrapbookflair that I've just set up a sponsored challenge (starting October 30th) which I hope you'll join in with. The theme is "tea" and you can get details here. If you're not a member of Scrapbookflair, but would like the chance to win my soon to be released "Tea Party" kit you can sign up for a free account today!

Finally, just a reminder that my $2.00 sale is running at both Ahhhscrap and Scrapmall until October 31st.

Thanks for stopping by...enjoy the freebie...and come back soon for news of a very special event happening at Ahhhscrap - coming soon!

Happy scrappin'
Susan

$2.00 SALE!

I'll have details soon of a very special event coming up soon at Ahhhscrap, so come back soon or sign up for my newsletter today!

You may remember that I recently put out a CT call....well I was very fortunate that a fabulous scrapper applied and, of course, I snapped her up right away! I'll be posting details of who it is and, as always when introducing a new CT member, I'll be poosting a freebie too....look out for that this coming weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

New Kit, a Freebie and a CT call!

Hi All!'

Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to face the week ahead!

As you can see from the title of this post I'm looking for two Guest CT members....if you are interested in working with my kits then please drop me a line at scrappinsooze@cox.net. Initially I'm looking for two scrappers who will be on the team until the end of this year...with the possibility of staying on for longer. I need people who scrap regularly and who post to several online galleries and participate in groups, forums and blogs. In other words, I need people who will get my designs "out there"! If you like my kits and would like a chance to work with them then please do apply. I'd like to choose a couple of people by the end of next week.

While I'm on the subject of the CT, I'd like to thank Brenda for her wonderful contributions during the past couple of years. She has had to leave the team due to family committments and will be sorely missed!

My latest kit - The Travel Bug - is now available at both Ahhhscrap and Scrapmall, where you'll also find a couple of freebie QPs. The kit is BIG - 20 papers and 55 elements...everything you'll need to make all your travel/vacation related layouts. Click on the previews below for more details.

I was quite pleased with the way this kit turned out.....some of the elements took a LONG time to draw, but maybe it's just that I'm so picky about getting things "just so"!
Remember that if you like to make photobooks you can download my kits to your account at Artscow. com - they are always FREE for the first week of release!

That's it for today.....have a great evening and thanks for stopping by!

Hi All!

Before I get to the details of all the new items and specials in the stores right now I wanted to share a couple of layouts from my brilliant CT!!The first layout is from Karrie at kezcreates, using my All Boy kit. Look at that sleepy little face!The little lady having a meltdown moment is Miss B - Judy's granddaughter. Judy always manages to catch such fabulous photos! She also used the All Boy kit for this layout.

Clara Sue's gorgeous grandson is the subject of this super cute layout. He's growing so fast - seems like yesterday we were seeing his newborn pics! Clara Sue used my Bathtime Fun kit.

Also using the Bathtime Fun kit, Christi came up with this fun layout showing her little guy having a ball with his bathtime toys.

October Mix n Match - $1.00 per Item!!

Today was hard for me....had to say goodbye to my daughter Julie and her boyfriend Gavin, as they're flying back to Scotland after a two week stay here in Florida. I HATE goodbyes but I'm determined that this will be the last one......I wan to get back home!! Hopefully we can sell the house here and move back within the next few months. Then I guess we'll have to start from scratch again as far as housing, furniture, job, etc goes. It's a major upheaval but well worth it just to be with family and friends again...and no I will NOT miss the weather here in Pensacola!!! I would rather wear a sweater and be able to go outdoors in Scotland than have shorts on here but it's too humid to be outdoors for more than five minutes!Anyway, enough of my complaining! I wanted to let you all know that following on from the success of the launch of the Mix n Match category at Ahhhscrap last month, it's time for the 2nd collection. If you don't know what Mix n Match is then you should check it out! A color palette is chosen by all the store designers and we come up with coordinating paper packs, element packs, layer styles, etc....and you choose what you want to make your own kit. Of course you can buy just a paper pack if that's all you want or you an build a mega kit! Remember that for the first week of each month the current Mix n Match items are available at only $1.00 each...so you can grab yourself some excellent bargains. Just click on the graphic above to see what's in store this month. Below you'll see previews for my contribution this month....just click on the previews for more details.

I've also recently released a few other items at Ahhhscrap and Scrapmall....several sets of wordart (Wedding,Baby and Dog related) plus a set of various types of fasteners which I know you'll use over and over!

I'm off to track Julie's next flight (Charlotte, NC to London)..........missing my baby!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and do come back soon...and thanks to those of you who leave comments - they are VERY much appreciated!
