Fresh Baked Wednesday

We have a ton of excellent goodies for you this week; grab a cup of coffee, something to nibble, and get comfy.

First from Jen of Graham Like the Cracker; her first set of Templates, My Favorite Layouts Volume One.
Sometimes the mojo goes away and I can’t make a decent layout to save my life. That is when I turn to templates. Templates always bring my mojo back, so I have decided to share some of my favorite layouts with you!

These templates are PDS files. 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. I have also included a jpeg of what my shadow settings are in case you want to recreate them yourself!

This set of four PSD templates is $3.00

Next, Jen has an element and paper add-on for Hukilau Honey

The add-on contains 8 papers and 9 elements.

When you combine this add-on with the full Hukilau Honey kit, you will have 28 papers and 55 elements!

This add-on is $3.00

Next, Jen had a matching alpha for Hukilau Honey
This shiny and bright acrylic alpha is the perfect compliment to the coordinating kit, Hukilau Honey. This full alpha contains uppercase letters as well as numbers and punctuation. Full sheet and individual PNG files are included for your convenience. Don’t forget to pick up the matching kit!

This alpha is $2.00.

and the last goody from Jen is the Hukilau Honey Bundle!

Buy the Hukilau Honey bundle to get awesome savings! This bundle includes the entire kit, the full alpha, paper and photo masks, and the add-on at one low price. You save 25% off the regular store prices for each item!

The bundle is $9.00

Misty O’Brien has a word art pack for you!
This one is called A Woman’s Dictionary and features 4 different words and definitions according to women. Grab them in the store for only $2.00!

Charmaine previously released this kit for her week #1 entry in the SYTYCD contest. She has added to the kit and is putting it in the store for anyone who missed it!
