A Black Friday Like You've Never Seen...

Hello all you happy scrappy people, and to my friends who celebrate, a belated Happy Thanksgiving to you!  Today's newsletter is stuffed (see what I did there?) to the brim with lots of eye candy and information, so get comfy, and let's get moving..

As most of you know by now, ScrapMatters will be closing her doors for good on Monday.  It's a bittersweet time for us, as it's sad to see such a great thing end, but so many of the girls are moving on to bigger and better things - I'm very excited for them!  We're proceeding with business as usual, and have an awesome sale planned for you - check it out..


I've got over 30 products that will be retiring, so now's your chance to grab them before they're gone.  The easiest way to find them is by going to my store and sorting by price.  They'll all show up on the first 3 pages.

Of course with endings come new beginnings, and I'm excited to announce my guest spot at Pixels & Company, which opens today!



My entire store there will be on sale for 30% off thru Dec. 5 - including this amazing collab!

Paying respect to all things comfy, cozy, and rustic when it comes to the holidays (and winter in general)... Woodsy Winterland is a collaboration with Wishing Well Creations by Laura Passage.  Check out these awesome CT pages - SO yummy! (There are more on my FB page, so be sure to check them all out!)

I'm also excited to be releasing a kit for those of you who celebrate Hanukkah this year!




With a variety of beautiful blues, creamy yellows and soft neutrals to set it all off, this kit speaks to the more sophisticated celebrations and traditions in your family.  My CT was also able to use it for some really fun non-themed layouts - take a peek..

Mixed Matters @ ScrapMatters

It's Mixed Matters time at ScrapMatters - yay!  I love this promotion so much!  If you're not familiar with it, four designers are teamed up to create grab bags that you can purchase with low financial risk to help you become familiar with designers you don't normally purchase, OR just get a screaming deal from people you already know and love.. ;).. This time around I was teamed up with River Rose, Litabells and Zoliofrope.. Here's what we created:


You can see the full reveal in the store, but as a teaser, here are some pages from my CT using my portion of the bag..

Have a wonderful weekend, and until next time.. happy scrapping!

Two is Better Than One!

Hey everyone!  It's been a busy busy week here on the designing front, and I've got TWO amazing new collabs to share with you!  Let's get right to it..

First up, is a fun and funky kit with the lovely Lita of Litabells Designs all about celebrating a love of books:

Got your hands on a good book lately? When was the last time you couldn't put down an absolute page-turner? Delight in your little ones' first board book. Express love over your new e-reader. Celebrate a visit to the library. This kit is perfect for any book related everyday type memory, school milestones, and everything in between!

Next, is a fun kit with Jill of Juno Designs all about summer fun splashing around in the sun.. I absolutely love the colors in this kit!

Summer wouldn't be complete without a chance to soak up the sun and frolic in the water.  Share your memories with Water Play - be it poolside, squirting around with your water gun, or a plain old bucket from the backyard!  My CT got this just over 12 hours ago, so I don't have quite as many CT pages for it.. Keep an eye on my FB page, though, so I'll be updating it as they come in throughout the weekend..

Aside from the excitement of having TWO releases this week (can you believe it?!?) ScrapMatters is running an amazing promotion right now!  My kits are just two of the 20+ NEW collabs in the store today - 50+ if you count add-on products - and they're ALL on sale for 25% off.  PLUS you can save more when you buy more!



And... as if that wasn't enough - here's a freebie for you from Lita and me..


And that's it from me this week.. I'll see you next week with another fun release for you.. Until then, Happy Scrapping!

Sneak Peek

Summer is such a busy time.  Sometimes I just want to sit back and relax.  A good book always helps me relax.  Do you have someone in your family that loves to read? Amber and Lita have a colorful & fun collab coming out this Friday that is perfect to document those bookworms in your life.  For a chance to win this kit pop on over to THIS THREAD at ScrapMatters.

Sweet Liberty

So here's the thing.. I know a girl's not supposed to play favorites, but I kind of do.  For as long as I've been scrapping, I've always LOVED 4th of July kits!  I don't know why it is - I'm generally not a bright/bold/primary colors kind of girl, and although it is THE FAMILY HOLIDAY EVENT for my in-laws and extended family (consisting of several days of family traditions, gatherings and parties), I don't have oodles and oodles of photos to scrap.  But I can pick out an FOJ kit a mile away and will have my heart set on owning it before you can even say firecracker!  So, I am SUPER excited to be releasing this fun new collab today!  I paired up with Mommyish, and speaking of firecrackers, she is a hoot!  I've had so much fun working with her, and we're both absolutely in LOVE with the results - I hope you are, too!



We've got your Independence Day covered - from stars & stripes, to fireworks & barbeque, and everything in between. Sweet Liberty is brimming with vintage pieces and an eclectic collection of ellies. The bright vintage feel just invites you to jump right in and join the fun!

And look, I even joined in on the fun!


As always, the kit is 20% off thru Sunday.. If you subscribe to my newsletter, there's an exclusive coupon for some extra savings in there, so be sure to check your inbox.  If not, go ahead and subscribe so you don't miss out next time.. ;) 

Have a wonderful weekend, and hopefully you can fit some scrapping in!  As for me, I'll be gearing up for a huge July 4th event at my "real job" which will have me hopping for about 12-18 hours a day up until the 4th, but then it's family time at the parade, BBQs, playing with the cousins, setting off fireworks and who knows what else!

Happy Scrapping!
