New Release: The Man With the Moustache

Just in time for iNSD weekend, I have another new release. The Man With the Moustache is filled with classic gamer geek goodness! It includes 20 papers, 40+ elements, and a fun alpha. It can be purchased as a full kit, or you can purchase the papers, elements, and alpha separately in my store.

To celebrate the release of this new kit and iNSD weekend, I have put together a sampler of The Man With the Moustache that includes 8 elements and 5 papers.

You can find the sampler freebie on my Facebook page.

And even more great news! Callaluna Creations is having a 50% off sale during iNSD, so now is the perfect time to grab this great retro kit!

Keep an eye out here and on my Facebook page for lots of surprises and fun for iNSD! Happy iNSD, everyone!

New Release: Backyard Explorer

Some of you may remember the Backyard Explorer mini I made as part of the Designer Darling contest. It was one of my favorite kits ever, so I chose to expand it into a full size kit. It includes 20 papers, more than 35 elements, and 2 alphas!

You can buy the full kit in my store, or you can buy papers, elements, and alphas separately.

Here is a page I made with it. This little cutie is Jaxon, my friend Cindy's son:

I have a 25% off May Flowers sale going on right now, too! So its a great time to buy!

To celebrate the release of this new kit, I have created a quick page freebie for you!

You can download the freebie HERE.

And finally, I am still looking for additional CT members. If you are interested, please email me at callalunacreations@mail.com or message me through the Callaluna Creations Facebook page. I have very mellow requirements!

Designer Darling Freebies Links!

Hi! I apologize, but I am not going to manage the play along for Round 5 of Designer Darling. I just cannot seem to stay healthy for five minutes....

BUT, I wanted to share the links to everything I did in the contest, in case you had trouble registering at STS and were unable to download them. These are LIMITED TIME freebies, as I loved everything I did so much that I plan to clean it all up and expand it and pop it into my store at some point. Speaking of my store, did I mention I am Designer of the Month and have a 33% off sale during March to celebrate my daughter's third birthday?

For Round 1, I made Duck, Duck, Bath:

That can be downloaded HERE.

There was also an add on for Duck, Duck, Bath:

That is available HERE.

For Round 2, I made Derby Girl Wannabe:

You can get that HERE.

For Round 3, I did A Case of the Sniffles, which is CU-friendly:

Snag that HERE.

And last but not least, I submitted Backyard Explorer for Round 4:

That is available HERE.

I made an add-on for that one, too:

The add on is HERE.

I hope that helps those of you who had trouble registering! Remember, grab them now because I am going to remove the links eventually! Thanks again for all of the support I received while participating!

Winter Wonders

At long last, I have added Winter Wonders to MY STORE. What was the hold up, you ask? I, um, forgot. Aren't I a pro? Hey, I am new to this store thing! I've been selling for less than a month, cut me some slack, lol!

I probably am not supposed to say this about my own designs, but I LOVE THIS KIT. This color palette is just beautiful, and there are some gorgeous elements in here! I love the alpha, too, which is made to look like chiseled ice. Winter Wonders is a kit to celebrate the beauty of the winter season. I am not a fan of cold, mind you, but even I must admit that there is a beauty to this season that is simply incomparable. The way the frost creeps up the windows and trails along the edge of every leaf, the slow descent of big fat snowflakes, the whole world clean and new after a fresh snow fall...

Winter Wonders includes 20 papers, 5 full size glitter sheets, a full alpha, and more than 30 elements!

Here are some layouts I did with this kit:

Here is a layout my CT member Lórien (of Lórien's Workshop) did:

And here are layouts my "Guest CTs" (for lack of a better term) did with Winter Wonders. The first is by Sarah (of Sairi Designs), the second is by Raquel (of Build a Memory), and the final two are by Robin. Thank you to all of you ladies for doing such an excellent job showcasing my kit!

You can buy Winter Wonders HERE, and great news! Like everything else in my store, it is 50% off for the month of February!

I would love to see any layouts you make with Winter Wonders, and keep in mind that I am still seeking regular CT members as well if anyone is interested!

Ready? Set? VOTE!

The voting poll is up for Round 2 of Designer Darling. There are cuts in this round, so please PLEASE go and vote! I need all the votes I can get! I am determined to make the cut!

You have to register in the forums to vote, but its a really great place to hang out and socialize with other scrappers! Please note that they are having issues with registration emails going through to hotmail and yahoo accounts. Gmail and mail.com accounts are working fine, so if you have trouble, try a different email address. The voting poll is HERE! My submission is "Callaluna Creations - Derby Girl Wannabe." And again, please consider tossing in a vote for my best bud Sarah - "Sairi Designs - With the Girls."

Here is a reminder of what my submission looks like. I will have a small add on coming soon!

Links to download all the free minis are in THIS THREAD.

Thank you for your continued support!!!

Love Bites: An Anti-Valentine's Day Kit!

Are you looking at all the happy cheerful couples today and rolling your eyes? Heart broken? Scraptherapy to the rescue!!!

Valentine's Day is all well in good... if you're happily in love! But love isn't all chocolate and roses. Sometimes its a pile of soggy tissues and holding a photo over the candle flame! STOP: Don't burn that photo! Scrap it instead! This is the first in a planned series of kits I am calling Scraptherapy. Why not use scrapping as a way to work through those difficult emotions? Love Bites will help you do that!

Love Bites includes 20 papers, 6 layer styles, 2 alphas, and 52 elements!

BONUS: Since it was requested, I am including the torn photo template shown in the preview as a free gift!! Please note, it is a .psd file that was created in Photoshop CS6 and I am not sure it will work with older versions.

And guess what else?? My entire store is 50% off during the month of February! Head on over to my store to grab it!

Here are some layouts made with Love Bites: These first two I made myself:

And these adorable layouts were made by my new CT member, Lórien! Aren't they fun?? Welcome Lórien, I am excited to have you aboard! I am still seeking creative team members if anyone is interested in getting my kits for free! Email me at callalunacreations@mail.com for more info!

Designer Darling Competition FREEBIES!!!!

You know how when you have people who really believe in you, you can sometimes get swept up in their enthusiasm and push yourself farther than you ever have before? That happened to me this week. I have two wonderful cheerleaders, my best friend Sarah (of Sairi Designs) and my friend Raquel (of Build a Memory), who believe in me and encouraged me to enter the Designer Darling Competition at Stuff to Scrap. I am terrified, because I feel like I am way out of my league (there are people in this contest I have BOUGHT things from before!!!). Furthermore, I am SLOW. I get a little better at designing every day, but I don't get much faster. I am slow and deliberate and NOT in the tortoise-winning-the-race sort of way!

But I've survived Round 1. No need to applaud, I haven't even heard from the judges yet. But there are no cuts in Round 1, so the fact that I managed to finish my kit means I get to advance. Woot! This is my submission. I call it Duck... Duck... BATH! It was inspired by my vast collection of rubber duckies.

You can find the links to download my mini and all of the other fantastic submissions HERE. Please PLEASE go and download it, and encourage your friends to do the same? I need all the cheerleaders I can get to carry me though this competition!

Here is a layout I made with it:

Furthermore, my lucky little readers... I have an add-on in the works! Keep an eye out here, I will post it in the next day or two!

Also, please head over to Sarah's blog to get a peek at her submission, as well!

Thank you to all of you for the support! Your comments and emails and messages have kept me motivated these past few months, and all of my improvements are thanks to you guys!!

Winter Wonders

Here is a sneak peek at my newest kit, Winter Wonders! This will be available at my soon to open shop at Southern Comfort Scraps!

STS November Road Trip: At the Lodge

Here we go! I've had a crazy crazy month, but I managed to prepare something for the road trip! I really love this alpha and I cannot wait to use it on a page! I had a great time playing with some new CU actions to make the papers, and the cool sweater textures are some I made with the help of a tutorial/template by Sugarbutt Designs.

I'm doing things a little different this month. You can either download this as one large file (about 160mb) or you can download it in two parts.

Large file is HERE.

OR

Part 1 is HERE.

Part 2 is HERE.

I also have an exciting announcement (well, its exciting for me!). Callaluna Creations now has a Facebook Page!! I'd really like for you to come check it out and help me get some "likes." In fact, I want that so much that I've made this add-on to tempt you!

If you want the cute "knitted" elements and the additional knit papers, just pop over to my Facebook page and click on the Freebie link! You will have to like the page first.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a safe trip! Next stop is AK Designs. Here's your road map:
