Fresh Baked Friday

Jen has done another collab with the always fabulous Elegant Word Art by Bethany. She used the Graham Like the Cracker kit, Hukilau Honey to make some adorable word art.


This set includes 4 word art. Shadowed and non-shadowed for your scrapping preferences and is $2.50.

Layout of the Week!

So normally we would have a list of fabulous layouts for you to help us choose the layout of the week.

But we do not want to unfairly sway the tribal council with our choices of outstanding layouts… so we will be moving the voting for LOTW to Sunday we do not influence their decision.

Fresh Baked Wednesday

First from Jen at Graham Like the Cracker, an alpha to match her adorable Dragonfly Summer kit.
The font used is a mixed case font… some are lower case and some are upper case. This alpha includes letters, numbers, symbols, including some international ones! It also includes individual letters and a full sheet to please everyone’s alpha using preferences.

It is $2.oo. If you buy the kit, Dragonfly Summer, you get this alpha for FREE through Sunday. Use coupon code DragonAlpha at the checkout.

This week, Misty O’Brien is debuting a new kit, Fort Wilderness.

Its theme is the outdoors and camping but has a color palette so versatile the kit can be used all year long. This kit is a steal at just $3.99 for 21 colorful textured papers and 67 vibrant elements.
Misty also has made a matching alpha.

I have included a shadowed and and non-shadowed version of each layout in a PSD file and a full sized JPEG file for you to build your layout on top of if you can’t open PSD files.
