Silent Night

I know you are used to me posting more often than I have this month, and for that I apologize.  This December was the first time since my mother passed away on New Year's Day 2009 that I was actually excited about Christmas.  I was even ready to decorate, minus the tree (Can you see why?)

Sadly on December 6th, my Granma - Laurietta Iannarone- passed away.  She was an amazing woman that taught me so much about the true meaning of love.  While not my grandmother by blood, she never treated me any different.  She loved me like her own when she didn't have to.  I will forever be grateful for all she showed me and taught me just by being her. 

Needless to say, designing took a back seat for a couple of weeks while we traveled North for the funeral services.  When I got back home I had a kit that I had started waiting for me.  I knew I didn't have time to make a full kit the way I wanted to.  But I just LOVE the color palette.  So I packaged it up and Silent Night was created.  

19 papers and 23 elements

When thinking what to scrap with the kit, only one person came to mind......Granma

I haven't had the creative flare or time to create any freebies.  But be sure to check back soon, I'll try to have something for.  Until then, may you all be blessed during this Christmas season.  May the most precious gift, our Lord Jesus Christ, find his way into your hearts and lives.

Magical Minis

Each month one of my favorite things to do as a digital designer, is to take part in the Mousescrappers Design Challenge.  Designers are given a theme or color palette.  From that we design a mini kit.  These mini kits are then bundled together to be sold as a Mega kit at the Mousescrappers store.  

These mini kits are just so much fun.  I was so sad to see that the first three mega kits are no longer available in the Mousescrapper store.  So, in order still make them available to you, I've placed them for sale at my Scrapable store.

The first kit is Magical Mini 1-

 Great for all your circus, and flying elephant layouts.

Magical Mini 1

The second kit is Magical Mini 2

This kit will make scrapping your Monster layouts a real breeze.

Magical Mini 2

 The third kit is a template (my very first).

It includes both .psd and .png files.

For great savings, I created this Magical Mini Bundle.

It includes all 3 of the mini kit's posted above

 

Magical Mini Bundle

AND

This free magical mini bonus kit

(only available as part of the bundle)

The Bundle is a great savings

Separately the kits would sell for $5.97

but as a bundle you can purchase them for $3.50 

and get the bonus kit FREE.

Here are a few layouts by my great CT and the Scrapable CT

The little things in life are the most special ones.  And yet it always seems that they are the ones we don't capture and preserve.  Life goes by to fast and we never seem to have the time.

Includes 26 journal cards

15 individual Wordart Designs
