SAS Designs Kit Release: "Yummy Berries"

Nothing says "summer" better than fresh-picked berries, and the newest kit from SAS Designs is a celebration of the season.  "Yummy Berries" is a mouth-watering collection of brightly colored papers, ripe fruits and bright flowers.  This is a kit that you'll use again and again this summer! 

SAS is also releasing "Layered Up 3 Templates," a set of templates that really have fun with papers. 

Here's how I used them together with the kit:

I also have a little "Yummy Berries" Quick Page freebie!  Enjoy it, and please leave me a little love...I'm needy like that, you know! 

Have a great weekend!

A Look Back: My April Pages for SNR

I design roughly a dozen layouts a month for publication calls as a staffer at Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.  I adore working there; the staff is great, inspiration is plentiful and seeing my pages "in print" is a thrill that doesn't get old!

Our June issue went live this past weekend (click here for a subscription and check it out...it includes my article on using and customizing Quick Pages!), so today I'm taking a look back at some pages I published in the April edition.  Enjoy!

My Debut Kit Freebie: "Sweet Simple Things"

I'm thrilled to release my very first digi-scrapbooking kit, "Sweet Simple Things."  I never actually expected to dive into product design, but the bug bit me and I'm glad that it did!

"Sweet Simple Things" offers seven textured papers in neutral (and easy to recolor) tones; 26 elements that are a little vintage...a little country...and a little "elegant grunge;" 2 word arts; and a complete alpha.  Appropriate for chic feminine layouts, as well as refined masculine pages, this kit is full of multi-functional pieces that will blend nicely into your stash.

Here are some examples of the kit in action:
