WOW! Has it been a LONG time since I’ve had a chance to write a new post!
Well, you will all be happy to see that, despite the fact I’ve definitely been on a post hiatus, at least I’ve got some fantastic news! That’s right, it’s a FREEBIE KIT! Woohoo!
Before I get to the freebie, I thought I’d do a little PR for my newest kit, “Little Bots” available at Two Peas.
Check out this fantastic digital layout by Nicole LeBlanc. I had a great time making this kit–all of the vibrant colors and the gears, it was just a total blast!
Alright, so let’s cut to the chase. It’s time to unveil my newest freebie digital scrapbooking kit—Boho Chic available at Two Peas!
Just like with most of my kits, this was a fun exploration in something new and fun. I particularly enjoy the “paisley” feel of the papers–with just a touch of bohemian style. All around, just a fantastic freebie digital kit!
Take a quick moment to check out my kits and Two Peas and don’t forget to pick up Boho Chic! You’ll be happy you did!
Happy Holidays everyone!!!
Alright, I’ll admit it. I’ve been a little MIA on the blog-scene, but you know how the holidays can be—it’s hard to find extra time for shopping, giftwrapping, baking, and of course scrapping! To thank my customers and scraptastic friends, I’m releasing a freebie holiday kit!
Before I get to the freebie, I thought I’d do a quick recap of a couple of my newest kits. Trust me, it’s worth it! : )
Inspired by all of my holiday shopping, I came up with “Homespun Holiday“. I absolutely adore the bingo card and can’t wait to see it in action!
mj.johnson, one of Two Peas talented creative team members, designed this adorable card! So beautiful!
"Warm Wishes" by mj.johnson
A couple weeks ago our area was hit with a 36-hour blizzard. Although I ‘love’ Northern living, I miss the summer sun. What’s worse, instead humming ”Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”, the only song I had in my head was “Sunshine Day” by the Brady Bunch–definitely not the best inspiration when you’re trying to design kits with snowmen and mittens in them. Check out the beautiful pages created by our Two Peas Creative Team…
Two Peas Creative Team member Alice W. made this super-cute card!
"Happy Birthday!" by Alice W.
And Two Peas Creative Team member Holly Koenigsfeld made this happy layout!
What’s more, I couldn’t help myself either—I made some quick pages with this kit too. Nothing better than bright colors on a cold, snowy day! Click the link for even more layout ideas—you’ll be amazed at what all of the talented ladies at Two Peas have created with these quickpages! I was! : )
Alright! So here’s what you’ve been waiting for! A holiday freebie kit!
This freebie has 11 festive papers, frame, stamp, and a few other elements certain to be the life of the party on any scrapbook page.

Thanks for stopping by! ; )
In celebration of my shiny, new nephew I decided to make a fun kit filled with super cute animals this week! Can you smell the baby powder oozing out of this kit?!
Truth be told, this was a nice departure for me since I usually base my personal designs around the two, four-legged, furry girls that wander our house. I bet if you asked any psychologist, this is probably a “healthy” step. : )
The inspiration for this design (outside of my new nephew) came from the color combination—I really liked the muted, non-gender tones and “quiet” feel of the combined elements. Of course, my favorite part are all the hand-drawn animals…and library card.
Since it’s pretty rare that I can look at my final design and say, “Yes! That’s exactly how I imagined it in my mind!”, I really appreciate the finished product!
Plus I’ll be honest, I was sort of surprised how well I seemed to tap right into the “mom mode”—it left me wondering if my design side has been having secret meetings with my biological clock?!
Nah.
I’ve still got some living to do, wine to drink, and rows to hoe before I cross that bridge. : )
Since my 2Peas link isn’t working properly this evening, I decided to include an animated preview of some of the kit elements…Click to view better.
Thanks for looking! ; )
Okay, I have to admit—I’m absolutely in love with these two kits.
I got the idea for “Punky Monkey” a couple months back and have been slowly working on it since. You’d be surprised what a gal can learn designing a punk kit—like what “Emo” means (yeah, I know I’m dating myself here). For those of you playing along at home, in laymens terms ”Emo” is a cross between punk and goth—and apparently it’s all the rage because it kept coming up in my internet searches!
Anyway, I just love the bright colors of this kit and my spray painted shapes. Such a cute and punky kit, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! (Special thanks to Amanda Rockwell @ Scrap Orchard for the twine).
The second kit I created this past week is called “Destination Anywhere.”
You know when you come back from a trip and you can find all sorts of vacation papers, but nothing for those “In Transit” sorts of pictures (say, when you’re at the airport for hours on end). I ran into that problem a lot when I was designing my vacation pages and decided to take matters into my own hands, er, mouse. : )
I spent hours and I mean hours painstakingly designing the little treasures in this kit so I’m psyched to see how scrappers will use it! I couldn’t have asked this kit to turn out any better! Enjoy!!! : )
Special thanks to Sarah Laming @ Sassy, Amy Wolff @ The Lilypad, and Jana McCarthy @ The DigiChick. Thank you ladies!!!
Alright, fun news! I’m posting a freebie kit called “Harvest Fest.”
I made this kit waaaaay back in September (before I started at 2Peas). Now that fall is definitely upon us (and we’re all busy designing our Halloween pages), I thought I’d be a nice time to post this goodie.
Enjoy—and click here to download this freebie kit! Just a heads up, this kit is 100 MB of pure freebie goodness, so be patient. : )
Also, don’t forget to check out the 2Peas Creative Team Call!! If you’re thinking about applying you really should! : )
In true holiday style, I thought I’d bring out the Christmas spirit three days after Halloween. : )
Actually, I have to admit, I had a lot of fun creating “Scrappy Holidays.” I thought I’d try a few different things with this kit—the mint and red color combo and real “whimsy” wire pieces. I really excited to see the designs that come from this kit!!!
But that’s not all!
One of my favorite things to use—that’s super hard to find—are clear plastic pieces. I’m not sure if other digi scrappers have this same feeling, but hopefully that will be no more because I created an embellishment kit called “Recycled Plastic” and it’s filled with 50 plastic pieces! I’m super excited to see how scrappers use it!
In the meantime, be sure to check out the 2Peas creative call! What’s better than FREE digi kits, eh? ; )
It pays to recycle!
Nicole just released a fun kit called “Soccer Time” available at Stuff to Scrap. I have never played soccer in my life—and I mean never. I don’t think I’ve even watched it before. In fact, now that I think of it, I think this kit is the closest I’ve ever been to a soccer ball!!
That being said, I had a blast designing with this kit. Something about the black and white soccer ball colors mixed with the bright paper colors resonated with me.
Nicole included so many fun elements with this kit that I was able to design this page in about 30 minutes. I’ll admit, it didn’t start as a Halloween page. In fact, I was trying to design a “soccer-themed” quick page, but once I finished the page it didn’t anything like a soccer page—it looked like a Halloween page. And I had the perfect Halloween picture for it! Goth Halloween from 2006. : )
So back to designing a soccer page. I was scared. Here I had tried to design a soccer page that turned out like a Halloween page. Not even close—unless of course, you dressed up as a soccer player for Halloween, but that was a pretty tall order for a quick page. (My sincerest apologies to the few people who may have actually benefited from the above page).
It was time to pull out the big guns. I needed to harken Caddyshack logic—”Be the ball Brandy,” I thought to myself.
I needed to think like a soccer player.
And then my iTunes shuffled to “All Fired Up” by Tralala (click here to listen to the song on YouTube)—”This is it!” I thought.
So there you have it—a half an hour later I designed what I would consider to be a punky soccer quick page available at Stuff to Scrap!
All this because of Tralala and Caddyshack—something I’m certain many of the kids who will eventually wind up on this page probably have never heard of!
Oh the irony! : )
Ahh yes, today is the big day. Goodbye 20s, hello 30.
Surprisingly, I’m alright with turning 30—I thought my 20s went rather well, so I’m excited to see what this new phase brings. Plus, my favorite musician Mike Doughty commemorated the big event with the release of his new CD Sad Man Happy Man. So how can you not be psyched about that?!
Okay, I made that last part up.
But…
(you knew this part was coming, didn’t you?)
…if there was one thing I could do differently, I wish I would have discovered my inner “punk” a bit sooner. Who knows, maybe that’s the sort of stuff you figure out when you turn 30?
At any rate, I decided to make a freebie kit that embraces my inner ”me”—which I would describe as girly punk.
In celebration of my big day, take a moment to think about who you really are and how you’re going to express that to the world today.
Me? I’m going to wear all-black. And, extra mascara. : )

This kit is actually the first freebie kit I ever created, but I had so much fun in the process I ended up creating two more in the meantime. : )
That being said, there are still plenty of goodies with this kit! In fact, the file was so large, I had to break it up into three separate downloads (lucky for you!). There are a whopping 15 papers, 12 stickers, 2 frames, 4 page wraps, 4 paperclips, and 1 journal spot—plus the colors are perfect for all your fall pictures!
Okay, so here is what you’ve been looking for!

Nicole just released a great freebie collab kit called Beautiful You. This kit has a lot of bright colors, TONS of embellishments and word art. There is also a great selection of solid and patterned papers!
Since this kit is named “Beautiful You” I wanted to make a page that was meaningful to me. Almost immediately, I thought back to a family trip we took with my husband’s family a few years back. These pictures remind me of the days before we built the house, got the dogs, and welcomed a nephew. I think we all knew deep down that this would be our last vacation before “the boys” (Jeremy and his brother) would start creating families of their own.
Long story short—mission accomplished. The page was exactly what I had in mind. : )
