Welcome to 2010!

HAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME TO 2010!!

I hope yours was just as fun and exciting as mine - a chick flick on the couch with DH. Okay - maybe some of you had some more excitement than that, but in any case, I hope it was enjoyable - whatever you ended up doing!

This week I have a whole slew of new products for you, and can I just say... It has been SO fun getting these together! It's really made me think about life, change, and making a better tomorrow.. I hope you will find just as much pleasure in them as I do.. So let's get to it!

First up, is a brand new kit, Resolutionary.

I've never really been one to make a lot of New Years resolutions, but this year I've been kind of inspired to make some changes in my life to be a better person. If you're the same way, then this kit is perfect for helping you document those decisions. With a beautifully soft color palette, it won't distract from any photos you choose to include, and there's also plenty of word art to keep you motivated. And speaking of word art... It's also available separately in case that's all you need to help create your "resolutionary" pages...

One of my resolutions this year is to be better about writing in my journal. Sometimes I think it's easy to justify my scrapping pages or personal blog entries as enough of a record of my life. But there's just something about the idea of physically writing things down that seems so much more "real." And even though I hate to admit it, there are some things that can't really be scrapped, but I don't want to forget them. So, with the help of my creative team, I've compiled a list of 368 journal prompts - one for every day of the year, plus some - to help get my brain moving and to jog those memories of days past - and present. Then, using my Resolutionary kit, I've created a beautiful hybrid journal cover and labels for a jar to keep the prompts in. Now I can simply draw a prompt out of the jar each day and start writing! Does this sound like something you'd like to do as well? Then you're in luck, because I've packaged it all up and now you can grab it from my store! :D

As a special New Year's promotion, I've bundled the kit and the journal jar together to create a New Year, New You Bundle. It's only available until January 3rd, and it will save you 25% off purchasing the items individually.

And finally, I have one last product for you this week. With the new year upon us, all the buzz has been about Project 365. While I tried last year and failed miserably, I think I'm going to give it a go again this year - only I think I'm going to go the P52 route and just work on a page a week. In any case, whether you're embarking on either "project" or just scrapping as you choose, you always need something to date your pages and pictures with, so I've created The Only Date Stamps You'll Ever Need.

I know many people who do P365 use dating elements as a way to unify their pages, and there's so much flexibility in these stamps, you'll definitely be able to create something with just the look you like.

And of course I have some wonderful eye candy for you: some fantastic layouts by my Creative Team using the kit.

Now, before I get to your freebie, I wanted to give you a quick reminder about the sale at Scrap Matters this Friday and Saturday.

All of my new products {except the bundle} fall into the appropriate categories for the sale, so be sure to grab them quick while they're at a discount. Also - make sure you check out the NEW Project 365 Challenge! It's going to be so much fun, and definitely help keep you motivated throughout the year.

Okay - so after all that, you definitely deserve a freebie, and here it is! A fun little alpha that coordinates perfectly with Resoultionary, but is totally versatile enough to go with just about any kit! Enjoy!
