Layouts and a Freebie Alert

First up is layouts that I have done lately. The first being a layout I did for Laura Banasiak (a.k.a. simply.scraps). She re-released a kit at the Digi Chick called "Take it Back". It has great colors to it that will work for any layout or you could use the little word art prompts to dig a little deeper.

The next two are using kits by Bella Gypsy. Bella Gypsy is made up of two sisters who design together kits and templates. They have some really amazing and fun stuff. You got to check out their store here. The first layout uses their kit "Family Tree" that they made with Jessica Edwards (another fabulous designer by the way). I love the colors of it and the papers are darling. The second one uses "Tiki Tiki Shake". I LOVE the hawaiin theme and all the elements are awesome. For this layout I also used a free template from Manda Girl. If you want to check them out go here.

Finally for the freebie alert...Jennifer Barrett has a fun new summer kit called "Ice Ice Baby". With it's release she has made freebie wordart sticks. They are darling. You have to head over and pick them up before the link is disabled. Go here if you want to get them.

Free Templates

So I was browsing at Persnickety Prints (which is one of my favorite place to get things printed...by the way). Anyhow in their freebie section they had a link to a gal's blog for free templates. Can I just say, THEY ARE AWESOME. I like her designs and the fact that they are FREE is totally cool. If you get a chance head over to her blog here.

FREE KIT...END TODAY (May 25th)

Over at Persnickety Prints they were running a contest with a kit by Suzy Q Scraps. It turned out adorable. Head over there soon to snag this free kit. They will be disabling the links later today.




Persnickety Prints also has really great printing prices. If you were a paper scrapper and ended up switching to digital and need to get those pages printed be sure to check out their site. They are so friendly and great to work with.

I found out about a deal through Artscow where you can get 10 FREE 8x8 books (20 pages each). They are made in China so don't expect them back really soon, but everyone that I know that has ordered through them has loved how cheap yet nice they are.

FREE Recipe Cards from Crisdam Designs

If you love Crisdam designs like I do you don't want to miss her newsletter that comes out every week...I think. It could be sooner than that. Anyhow, in this last newsletter she posted a set of recipe cards that you can download that she used her kit "Spoonful" to make. I think they are darling. If you are interested head over to her blog.

AWESOME freebie and more CT (Creative Team) News...

So lets start off with the freebie. Totally D Designs came out with a kit on Saturday called "Luke". It is absolutely darling. I will be posting my LO with this kit soon. To celebrate its release she came up with a QP (Quick Page) Freebie on her blog. Click here to go to her site to download it. If you are just getting started or just want to get your pages done fast this is a great way to go. You just add your picture and journaling. If you want to add additional elements you can to make it more "yours". Enjoy!

Now onto CT News....I was chosen for a couple creative teams since I have last posted. I

will be working with Pretty Scrappy, Totally D Designs, and Colie's Corner. When you get a chance check out their stores. I have linked their names so you can check it out.

Also, side note.... Colie is celebrating her birthday this month with a Sale-ebration. For the whole month her store will be 30% off. Each day of this month she will also be offering a different kit for $2. This is a really great deal. Check out her blog to find out what the kit of the day is.
