It's Sneak Peek time!!

Share
And I'm not late! lol...I just loved reading all of the comments last week about the times you all had been late, some made me giggle just a little. It was great to know that I'm not the only one who sometimes forgets or runs late!

How is your summer going? Are you managing to beat the heat? I know there have been reports on the news that the northern east coast is going through a big heat wave at the moment. I know it's been super hot here in Florida, I'm looking forward to February/March time when it's cool again. Talking of beating the heat, Amber's newest kit, which she collabed with WM [Squared] for this one, is definitely going to help you find a way to cool down - just so you can scrap with it!


Doesn't that look fantastic? I've been trying to come up with something else fun for the contest this week, as I thought the late thing was fun.. but honestly I'm drawing a blank! So.. this week, my question for the entries is.. what kind of things would you like to see as a question for the giveaway? Do you want to get to know Amber and the team better and have a random question that we answer and then you all get to reply too or something else?? let me know! Amber will pick a random winner and post the winner along with the kit reveal on Friday.

Have a great rest of the week!

Unpacking ... and Counting ...

Share
Happy Friday - make that SATURDAY - scrappers!  With the server upgrade going on at Scrap Matters this week, we needed to postpone our new release day to sort out a few things on the back end.. BUT I think overall, the switch has been really smooth - the site has hardly been down at all, and it's faster than ever.. And who can't appreciate that?!  :D



This week, my scrapping life is the exact opposite of my real life.. My family is gearing up for a cross-country road trip next week, then 3 days after we get home, we're moving to the other side of the country!  That means I've spent every waking moment packing, cleaning, organizing, and trying to get caught up ahead of time.. is such a thing even possible?  Meanwhile, in digi-land, I'm ready to UN-pack my bundle from last week.. Sit back and relax, 'cause this might take a while.. ;p

Inspired by my dad's favorite chewing gum, these little bitty alphlets are just perfect for mixing and matching.
A great basic alpha that you'll go back to again and again!
Who doesn't need a FABULOUS set of stitched borders?  These hand-stitched borders add depth and realism to your page, and give you a finished look with one simple step.
 
A fabulously fun way to date your pages, these pre-shadowed safety pins come in 10 colors, with beads for months, days and years 1980-2015, as well as bonus heart, flower and star beads.
 
Something a little different for me, but a total must have if you want to make the most of your photos.
Tested in PSE6-8 and CS3-4.
 
 
Lightly creased kraft papers in a rainbow of colors that is certain to coordinate with almost every kit you own! 
 
A great set of polka-dotted papers to compliment your girl kits, your boy kits and everything in between kits! 
 
Who doesn't love a funky striped paper?  They can really be so fun and add so much to a page!
 
For you paper lovers out there, grab all three and save 25%
 

And as if that wasn't enough, I've got a BRAND NEW product for you, too!  By popular demand, I bring you...
After I released Monogram It, I had so many people asking if I was going to do a number set... Well, here you go!  Perfect for birthdays, flashcards, P365 or even top ten faves, the possibilities are numberless . 
And for those of you who missed the letters the first time around, you can snag both sets in a money-saving bundle..

Before I send you off with my CT layouts, I need to announce the winner of Kate's contest!  Can I just say how totally awesome it was to hear all of your stories!  And who knew it was so trendy to be late to weddings?!?!  ;)  I have a story to share, too... The day Kate posted this, I was scheduled to babysit for a friend of mine {at my place} from 8-5 ..  Well speaking of being late, I didn't remember until 11:00!!  "How does this happen?" you may ask.. You see, I live in a completely locked building - no door man, no buzzer, and we're on the 4th floor, so the only way for me to know you're here is if you call.. Stupid me - apparently  I left my phone in the car, and my husband's was on silent.. So much for helping a girl out.. Needless to say, I was very late and VERY embarrassed... Seriously!  {For those of you who are wondering how it all turned out.. She was able to "work from home" that day, and took the babe to the water park... did someone say lemonade?}  Anyway, let's have a winner.... 

Amy shoot me an email for your prize!  You can have your pick of any of today's releases...
 

Now, check out these great pages from my CT using a little mix of everything... As always, all these new products are 20% off the first two days - Saturday & Sunday this time around... Enjoy your holiday weekend, and I'll see you next week.  Until then... Happy scrapping!  :D
