New Release: Time To Get Ill Collection

I am going to keep this short and sweet, because in approximately 12 hours, I am leaving for 2 months with my family in America! I need to finish packing and get some sleep. All together, its about a 20 hour trip (door to door) and I travel by myself with my 4 year old! Fun!

I have a new release this week. The Time To Get Ill Collection features 3 medical themed kits, an extra paper pack, and an alpha pack. Its on sale for only $7.99 right now! Individual pieces of the collection are also available separately.

Find it exclusively at With Love Studio!

New Release: Zipping Along

Just a quick post to let you know that if you missed out on scoring "Zipping Along" for free during the Summer Sand Bucket event, its now available in the store. Its only $1.99 this week!

New Release: Babies Don't Keep

I liked this kit the whole time I was working on it, but once it was complete and the preview was finished I realized I love it! "Babies Don't Keep" was inspired by the poem "Song For a Fifth Child" by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton. If you haven't read it, you must! It reminds us that our babies grow up far too fast, so we should let the little things go and focus on this precious time with our children while they are young.

"Babies Don't Keep" is on sale for 20% off this weekend!

I have created an add-on to "Babies Don't Keep" that will be offered as part of the June Use It or Lose It challenge at WLS, so be sure to keep an eye out for that. I am also working on a second add-on that will be on my Facebook page soon.

New Release and Flash sale!

I am so excited for iNSD! Is there anything more exciting than getting a good bargain? I love all the energy in the digital scrapbooking community during DSD and iNSD weekends. There is always so much excitement and it seems like a new surprise awaits every time you take a look at your favorite designers or favorite store!

I am going to be shopping and bargain hunting and freebie grabbing just like all of you, but in between I am planning to do what I can to bring a little more fun and excitement to the weekend for all of you! I am going to be offering "flash sales" throughout the weekend. Every time I think to change it (and my child lets me near the computer!), I am going to be choosing a different product at random to offer at a huge huge HUGE discount. How huge? Well right now there is a full size kit in my shop for only 50 cents! That is a savings of 91%!!! Can you find it before I decide to move on to the next product? If you keep an eye on my Facebook page and the forums at With Love Studio, you could run away with a lot of serious bargains from my shop this weekend!

Oh, and I don't want to forget in the midst of the iNSD hubbub to show off my new release! I have been wanting to do this kit for awhile, and the May Lovely Colors offered the perfect palette. Here is Life Is a Fiesta!

Elements HERE.

Alphas HERE.

Papers HERE.

Each of the packs from Life is a Fiesta are only $1 through May 5th!

What are you waiting for??? Get out there and find all those bargains!

New Release: A Pox Upon You

Last month, my poor daughter had chicken pox. We live in a country that doesn't yet vaccinate against it, so I knew it was coming. When I heard there was a bit of an epidemic in our town, I knew it was only a matter of time. 17 children from her class got them at the same time! She got them quite severely, and she was pretty miserable. Her little body is still covered in polka dots weeks later!

And, as always, I found inspiration in my child! I present my new release, A Pox Upon You:

As I was working on this kit, I kept thinking of various medical/health related things I wanted to make that didn't quite fit with the chicken pox theme. So I started making them and tucking them away. Coming soon, I'll be releasing a coordinating mini kit or two, maybe some more papers and some word art. This will be my first collection, and I am calling the collection Time To Get Ill. *chuckle* Anyone else get that?

Although A Pox Upon You is focused on chicken pox, there is plenty in the kit that could be used for any sort of "get well soon" layout. Its really a versatile kit! Here is a page I made with it:

A Pox Upon You is on sale through March 20th for only $2!!!

Be sure to check out the rest of my store as well - I have a 17% off sale for St. Patricks Day:

As always, I would love to see anything you guys may create with the kit!

Color My Heart

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I have a new release today called Color My Heart. I am describing it as a "kids arts & crafts kit masquerading as a Valentine's Day kit." My daughter spends a lot of time doing arts and crafts projects, so I needed a kit for scrapping all of those pictures!

I made a little "how to" for a fun project you can do with your kids. Feel free to download it for printing and share it with your friends!

Here is a page I made with Color My Heart:

And guess what? As a special Valentine's Day treat, Color My Heart is only $1 through Sunday, February 16th! Check out the With Love Studio Valentine's Day Sale for lots of other dollar deals!

I'm back, and I have a new release!

I apologize for the unplanned absence. Life happened, I'm sure you can all relate! And then, just to make things even better, I had some pretty dramatic computer issues. But life has calmed a bit and my computer is sorted, so I am back at it. I hope you enjoy my latest release, Plopsasaurus!

I took the name and the concept for this kit from the brilliant imagination of my three year old daughter. Several months ago, she introduced us to her imaginary monster friend Plopsasaurus, and he's been a member of the family ever since! He taught her to roar, and he protects her from the bad monsters. He also tends to get into some trouble now and then!

Here's a closer look at the different parts of this kit. I put a lot of work into this, and I think its a very cohesive kit. You get 36 elements, 18 papers, and 7 colors of alphas!

Here are some great layouts with the kit. The first is by Vanessa, the next two are by Marieke, and the final two I did myself:

Plopsasaurus is available exclusively at With Love Studio, and will be 20% off for the first week its available!

Two New Releases!

I've gotten a bit behind on my blogging of late. Let's remedy that, shall we? Last week I released "The Useful Choo Choo," inspired by my daughter's favorite train character! Do you have a little train lover in your family?

The Useful Choo Choo inludes 20 papers, an alpha with uppercase letters and numbers, and 34 elements.

Here is a layout I did with the kit:

And new in my store today is Summers In Maine. This one is close to my heart... its about Maine, the place I miss every single day! Its about home! This kit is great for scrapping vacation photos, or if you're a Mainer too... maybe Staycation photos! There are Maine specific elements, but the kit is versatile enough to work with any sort of coastal or woodsy pictures.

Summers In Maine includes 38 elements; 20 papers; and a full alpha with upper, lower, numbers and symbols.

Here is the first layout I've made with the kit. I have plans to do more!

And finally, don't miss out on my CU sale, which is running through the end of the month!
