Sneak Peeks! (and an extra special sneaky sneak!)

Good Morning friends!  Are you ready for today’s sneak peeks? I’ve got ’em AND A BONUS sneak peek! That’s right, get excited!

First we have something new from Pretty in Green, and it’s a hoot (I couldn’t resist)!

I’m pretty much in love with that color pallet and it should go without saying those little owls are too too cute!

Next we have something new by Keep in Touch Designs,

I really love the antiqued feel of the kit and that foliage… oh the leaves! I have a new love for leaves, I NEED to have them!

There are some new templates coming from Twin Mom Scraps, I mean, who doesn’t love a good template!?

(using already released kit by Twin Mom Scraps: Bella Ballet)

I’ve got one more sneak peek from Luv Ewe Designs,

Totally loving the star paper! If it’s got stars it’s generally in my wishlist – it can’t be helped.

That’s what I’ve got for you this morning. Make sure you’re here bright and early tomorrow to see all these (and more!) new releases in the shop! I can’t wait!

Oh, still wondering about that bonus sneak peek? Did you think I’d really leave you hanging like that? It’s too good NOT to share so, here it is!

A new collab, a mix of awesome designers,  that’s right plural!  Are you excited yet? Have I piqued your curiosity? I sure hope so!

Have a happy scrappy Thursday!

Weekly Wrap-up: Cheese!

One week left!

Until what?, you ask, well, September! That’s right, another month coming very quickly to a close. I feel like I’m losing my mind with how time is just falling through my fingertips!

With a week left and 10 challenges down, 3 to go (I always strive for 13!) I know I’ve got just enough time to finish. One of the challenges I need to work on is the Inspiration challenge, hosted by Amy P (Unforgettable Moments) this month.

My challenge for you is this… take a look at the ad below, find some inspiration from some aspect of the design of the ad, and make a scrap book page. I chose this particular ad because 1) it looked really cool, and 2) I thought it offered a lot of versatility for a lot of different kinds of pages!

Some ideas are… the larger picture, the series of smaller photos, the “tags;” (it could be the diagonal one or the one on the left), the title work with a subtitle, the entire layout, the travel theme, or something else I haven’t mentioned at all. Just scrap a page using the ad as inspiration.

I’ve definitely got some ideas, now just to see which evolves into my page. 🙂

I’m also working on my page from the Speed Scrap hosted by our lovely guest designer, Meg of Ocean Wide Designs. She gave us a super template to work with, and a great prompt! What makes YOU happy? Even if you didn’t make it to the Scrap&Chat with Meg, her prompt is still fantastic if you’ve got scrapper’s block.  So… what does make you happy?

Cheese.

That’s what makes me happy, well, one of several things of course. You know else makes me happy? Cheesy FREEBIES! (nice transition there, eh?) GingerScraps has a new Fan Freebie on Facebook and it is AWESOME.

Seriously. Being a Wisconsin girl, I totally CHEESED out when I saw this alpha by Wyld Web Designs.   All you’ve got to do is “Like” our Facebook page and it’s all yours!

Now I’m running away to do more things that make me happy, like family time! I know it’s a super short post today but I’m sure you don’t mind. Gives you more time to scrap! 😉

Have a happy Sunday!
