Scrapbook & Cards Today Winter Issue and 2013 SCT PageMaps Calendar Giveaway!!!

Well today is the BIG day!  The Scrapbook & Cards Today Winter issue will be released this morning and the new 2013 SCT PageMaps Calendar is shipping!  So excited to see both of these...

 

 

Scrapbook & Cards Today Winter 2013 issue

 

2013 Sketch Calendar

 

I have had a few peeks at the projects in both the magazine and calendar and I know you will find lots to inspire you to get your craft on!!  The Valentine's Day layout I created for this issue is one of my favourite pages to date and I had fun with one of my "go to" embellishments for Designer's Notebook this month!  I LOVED playing with some Doodlebug Designs product (I really LOOOOVE them!!) and one of the FABULOUS Becky Fleck's sketches for the calendar, too.  That woman never ceases to amaze me!!!  Can't wait to hear some feedback for you!

 

And guess what!?!?!?!  I get to give a copy of each away!!!!  Just post a comment telling me why you love SCT, the calendar or paper crafting in general and I will draw two winners on the evening of Monday December 10th.

 

Just a reminder that I have three of my favourite class kits for sale HERE.  If you have taken any of these classes please share your thoughts on the projects and kits.  Would love to hear from you!

 

 

Some Webster's Pages/Allison Kreft Goodness!!!

Wanted to share this layout I did with some of the AWESOME new release by Allison Kreft for Webster's Pages!!  Also, I always love to share GIVEAWAY info with my peeps and they have one on the Webster's Pages BLOG today.

When I opened up the box from Webster's I was so excited to see what Allison came up with!  I wasn't disappointed.  Lots of fun graphic patterns, great overlays and the color palette for the lines are just gorgeous!  Here is a layout I made...

Class Kits Available And Some Other Stuff

Happy Wednesday, my friends!  Today is a day for catching up in my house.  I have two projects to finish, a house to clean, laundry is calling and I need to get on top of my Christmas planning.  How about you?

Did you see the gorgeous stuff that has been posted on the Pink Paislee blog?  Today project by Larissa is GORGEOUS!  Here is a peek I "borrowed" from the blog...

 

 

Wowzers!!!!  Go take a look HERE and make sure to comment!!!  There are lots of goodies being given away!

 

I have talked about some kits I have left from a few of my classes this year and they are now available.  My friend Janice from the Scrapping Nook has launched her new website and online store and she has posted my kits and some add ons in her store!  The add ons include inks, stamps, masks etc that go with each kit.  Some of these items are hard to find and I use them often.  Make sure to take a look (she has my fav script stamp...the one I use in EVERY class!!!)  These are the three kits...

 

This kit is HERE.  I used bronze Distress Stain with this layout and you can get it HERE.

The Minibook kit is HERE.  There are a ton of technique add ons and stamps HERE.

 

You can find this kit HERE. 

 

Hope that makes it easier!  Have fun shopping!!!  If you have any questions, let me know!  Thanks, Janice!
