new releases 1.20

well, it's Thursday again! I've been workin' away to create some fun new releases & so have many of the other designers at DHD... it's really a great new release Thursday today! Make sure to go check it {remember 30% off all the new goodies!}

you can also get the full kit here :)

 I had fun creating Sketchy... taking pen to paper & then creating the kit from that is always fun for me :)

a word art & brush set inspired by my Little Dreamer, one of her fave songs & a few other dreamy words.

oh my, this is my sweet little baby Lydia the day she was baptized... she'll be 4 in less than 2 months :(  I miss that sweet, tiny snuggly little peanut. {sigh}

& 2 new templates... YAY! On the layouts I created above with each of the templates, I've only changed up the frames {on each I've used frames from Jen Allyson}. I love how these templates are great bases for the pictures & you get to use lots of different papers together {my fave}! 

Oh... & guess what? Remember the Valentine's Heart print I showed you over the weekend?  Well, since I used some of Jen's papers to create the print & I love it so much framed up in my home, we thought you would too!  So Jen & I have decided to put it up as a freebie in the shop!  Whooo HOOo! Hope you enjoy :)

ok... that is all! Can't wait for next week... I've got some fun things in mind :) Stay warm... we've got some frigid temps here in Iowa & it's all icy & snowy.  Some of my scrappy friends are teasing me telling me about the warm weather in places like Arizona & Hawaii... watch out girls, I may just be packin' my bags soon ;)

digital heart print

Last weekend we spent the weekend packing up & putting away our Christmas decor & Lydia was not so happy about this :)  I told her we'd make up some Valentine's Day decorations to put up around the house, so I thought I'd show you a little of what I'd done.  I started with this print...

you could do one up like this too if you have a program like photoshop or photoshop elements. All I did was open up a new file 8.5x11 inches & I had a heart shape from one of my kits that I used for a clipping mask.  Basically I kept duplicating the heart layer & placed them how I wanted them until I filled the area I wanted to use {I did mine so it would fit in a 8x10 frame with extra room around}.  Then I picked my papers... I used Jen Allyson's Vintage Findings Pink Paris & Antique Prints Digital Papers.  I clipped a the papers sort of in a random order in each heart until I got the "look" I wanted.  Next I added the stitching over them.  For this I used my In Stitches Neutral Basics kit {this one's the tan straight stitch}.  For the background I used the lined paper from my Feels Like Home September kit & then added the Plain paper from Jen's Antique Prints kit over top as an overlay.  With a little drop shadow on the hearts, it looks just like you cut them all from "real" paper with no mess!  I just love how it turned out & it looks so sweet in my chunky distressed black frame that I revolve my seasonal prints in.  I hope you'll try one for yourself!

new releases 1.13

I have some fun stuff that released today at DHD... a paper kit & element kit that was inspired by my 2 boys:

plus some printable/foldable valentines that I created that has word art with it so you can customize the valentines if you like!  Not only do I have them set up on a 8.5x11" sheet for you to print, but I also have seperate .png files of each valentine, so if you like one & not the others, you can set up a page to print however you'd like!

and another inStitches template for you... this one I based off of my one little word prompt page:

I had to include this cute layout decorator Allison Waken sent me that she created with the iLoveBoys kits... thanks Allison :)

don't forget all my new releases are 30% off just today... hope you enjoy :)
