Breaking Free...

Today I've got two gorgeous products for you with the option to save when you bundle.. First up, a mini kit I dreamed up while having a dance party with my boys (big and little)...



Not everyone experiences sunshine and roses all day every day.  Blackbird, while initially inspired by the song, embraces the hard times, the rough times, the times we lose hope.  It's okay to be sad, and it's definitely okay to scrap it!  Then maybe at the end of the day you'll see a shining ray of light and the strength to keep going..

Next, the kit from my Mixed Matters Grab Bag last month..



Inspired by the Maya Angelou poem, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," this kit embraces the idea of escaping your own limitations - whether self-imposed or otherwise - and soaring on the wings of freedom.

And of course, if you just HAVE to have both... A bundle that will save you 30% over purchasing them separately..



Now, what's a Stolen Moments post without some seriously gorgeous eye candy?  These are just a few pages from my CT, but there are a lot more in the store - be sure to have a look - I'm totally crushing on all of them!!

Soaring in with a Sneak Peek

Swooping in this week with a bit of a different sneak peek for you.  Amber has created a kit that has a very rich and luxurious feel to it this week.  For a chance to win this head over to THIS THREAD at ScrapMatters!  Oh and check out these colors....gorgeous aren't they?

Templates, Anyone?

Here we are again.. another week, another new release.. I can't even begin to tell you how great it feels to be designing again - yay!  I know time is tight for me - and I'm sure I'm not the only one, lol - and one of the best ways to speed up your memory-keeping is by using templates.  I've compiled four of my own layouts and made them into templates just for you!











You know, as I was scanning through my gallery trying to find these images, not only was I reminded of the memories these pages each document, I was also vividly reminded of the circumstances in which I created them.. Being so proud of the first one because it came out better than I ever imagined.. The 4th of July page that I created as part of the speed scrap at the first Digi Night Out.. Tying the one of me and my new baby into my blog post marking ScrapMatters' 5th birthday, and all of the memories that came with that, both personally and professionally.. And the last one (which I never was able to find in my own gallery) was scrapped as part of a paper scrapping weekend while we were still living in Missouri, and one of my new digi friends and I were the only rogue scrappers going at it on our laptops and having such a good time!  I hope you are able to live, document and cherish your memories in a way that makes you proud of your loved ones and your art, and if me and my designs take even a small part in that journey, I am humbled more than words can say... All I can really say, is THANK YOU.
