One More Sleep

Happy Black Friday!! To my U.S. friends, I hope your Thanksgiving celebrations were filled with family, friends and food, with lots of opportunities to remember the many things you have to be grateful for.. And if Thanksgiving isn't a holiday you celebrate wherever you are, please take a moment to consider all of the many blessings in your life - you'll be glad you did.. :D

Now.. on to my latest and greatest.. I have collab'd for my kit this week with a dear friend of mine who used to work with me as a member of my Creative Team.. She has moved on to designing now, and asked if I'd do a kit with her.. How could I say no? You may have already guessed, but it's Jen - aka Graham Like the Cracker - and we are SO excited to show you what we've got... So let's get to it! ;)

One More Sleep by Stolen Moments & Graham Like the Cracker

This eclectic mix of classic-meets-contemporary comes with a whopping 21 papers, 50 elements and a full alpha! From Santa, to snowmen, to angels and doves, this kit has everything you need to preserve all those precious holiday moments.. And if that wasn't enough, we also have some coordinating accent labels...

Included are 25 labels to add just the perfect touch to any holiday or winter page.. They also come in stamp form with a transparent background, to allow more creative flexibility.. But guess what?!? You can get the kit, the labels and Jen's glitter styles and SAVE when you buy the bundle...

Now check out these awesome pages from my ever-so-dedicated Creative Team..
They totally rock! :D

When I posted the sneak peek on Wednesday, I had a little contest for one of you to win.. It was so fun to hear all the crazy/funny experiences you all have had while searching out a great bargain, and the lucky winner is.. Angela Eischens. Email me at the address in my left sidebar to receive your coupon.

Now, if you think this kit is for you, there's no better time than the present to snatch it up! Scrap Matters is having a HUGE sale this weekend, with discounts as high as 45% on Friday, down to 25% off on Monday. There is also an AWESOME 41-piece template pack that you'll receive FREE with any purchase of $20 or more - trust me, you don't want to miss out on that!

Any bundles in my store are excluded from the extra discount, but perhaps some of these products will spark an interest - or maybe they've been waiting anxiously in your wish list for you to snatch them up.. Well, now's the time!

That's it for me, but here are just a few reminders - Stolen Moments is now on Facebook, so go become a fan to participate in contests and receive exclusive coupons & freebies! AND if you haven't checked out my CT blog lately, you really should.. The girls host challenges at least once a week for you to win GC's to my store, and they even hand out a freebie now and then as well!

Totally fun, right? This is a collab with someone I've never collab'd with before, but I've definitely worked with her before.. ;) I think you'll really love it! And one of you is just lucky enough to win it! To be entered, leave a comment here by 8pm EST on Thursday telling me the craziest thing you've ever done to get something on sale.. I'll randomly pick a winner and announce him/her when I reveal the kit on Friday..

These are rare discounts you definitely don't want to miss out on! AND you'll get a killer pack of 40+ templates FREE with any purchase of $20.00 or more - trust me - it's an absolute must-have! PLUS in celebration of Cyber Monday, a bunch of the SM designers are having a coupon-blog-hop for you to stock up on all kinds of extra discounts to layer on top of the already reduced prices..

See you on Friday, and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win! :D

*NEW* Kit & Templates!!

Some of my favorite memories from when DH and I were "courting" were of us fixing up a nice & steaming mug of hot chocolate and going for walks during those soft and peaceful snowfalls you get late at night. Sometimes, we'd even splurge and buy hot chocolate from the cafe in the campus library *gasp*! Of course the best part was stirring it with a candy cane from the first batch we saw hit the stores - that was the true sign that winter was upon us.. These fond memories were the inspiration behind my newest kit, Chocolate Frosted Snowflakes..

With 12 papers, 37 elements and a full alpha, this kit is sure to have something for everyone looking to scrap those pics of little ones playing in the snow or beautiful, glistening white landscapes...

Now - do you ever just look at a layout and think, "Wow - where do I start?" You know those people - the ones who have a knack for putting more on a page than you ever thought humanly possible, and still make it look good? That's how I feel every time I look at one of Lori's {loribear's} layouts.. Sooo... I thought I'd take on the challenge and make a set of templates so those of us {ME} who can't quite pull it off can get a head start.. And let me tell you - I had no idea how truly intricate and detailed her pages were until now.. I definitely have a new-found appreciation for her talent! Check it out...

Scraps by Number: Just Call Me Lori

Both of these new products will be 20% off Friday and Saturday only, and if you didn't get enough eye candy from the previews, check out what my CT and some of the Scrap Matters CT have done with them...

Grab Bag Reveal & 3 NEW Products!!

Can you believe another week has come and gone?!? And of course my team and I have been so super busy putting together some great NEW products for you.. But before we get to that, I wanted to "officially" reveal the contents of my DSD Grab Bag...

First.. there was a FULL KIT in there!

With some great help & suggestions from my Creative Team, I put together Tenderly.

I am also making the alpha available separately...

And of course you can't go wrong with templates!

Inspired by some of my very own layouts, this pack is perfect for helping you showcase a single photo.

And finally a couple of stash-builders to help you add just the perfect little details to complete your page..

What a steal for a grab bag, right? Well.. if you missed out on snagging it this past week, all of the items are now in my shop individually so you can pick and choose what you like.. BUT if you did pick it up {thank you}, and are itching for even MORE Stolen Moments goodies, you're in luck! Check out what NEW products I'm releasing this week.. {These will all be 20% off Friday & Saturday only.}

A brand new set of templates - inspired by my ever-so-talented CT member, Yolanda.

I have always loved Yolanda's signature style of eye-catching photo editing and creative composition. While these templates won't help your photo editing skills, they will definitely give you a leg-up as far as the overall design of your pages..

Cut It Out: Family

A unique and creative way to add a little something special to your page, these clipping masks can be used in so many ways! Clip a paper to them to make the perfect mat, or stick a photo on top for a totally custom look. Included are 20 family-oriented phrases, each in 4 different shapes - circle, square, portrait & landscape.

Date-Go-Round

You can never have enough creative ways to date your pages, so this is a staple you will find yourself going back to again and again! Included in this pack are year/month circles for 2000-2015 and number stamps 0-31. They recolor in snap to create the perfect addition to ANY page!

I'm going to leave you with some awesome inspiration layouts from my CT using these products, but be sure to check back next week, as I have even more yummy goodness coming your way!

Happy scrapping!
