So Long For Now

I took the summer off from designing to focus on my visit with my family in the states. And once my vacation came to an end, I realized I was extremely eager to get back to my easel and my paints, but not so eager to get back to Photoshop. And so, alas, I have decided to take a break. My shop at With Love Studio will close on September 16th.

But wait, how about one last sale? And its a doozy! How does 75% off everything in my store sound?? Its my way of saying thank you all for your support over the last couple of years!

I expect I will return to designing at some point. I might even post some freebies here now and then! I'll definitely still be hanging about the digi-scrap world, so see you all there! So long, and thanks for all the fish! ;)

Christmas In July

We have a fun event planned at WLS for the month of July! Be sure you are subscribed to the With Love Studio newsletter to collect all the pieces of a great collab! We will have sales all month long on Winter and Christmas themed kits as well!

Speed Scrap Layouts!

I hope some of you were able to participate in the Summer Sand Bucket List event at WLS this past weekend! It was a great time with lots of speed scraps and lots of fantastic prizes. I hosted my first ever speed scrap, and I think it turned out quite well! This is the page I made for my own SS:

It was a busy weekend for my family, so I didn't get to do as many of the speed scraps as I would have liked (I wanted every one of the fabulous kits we were offering as prizes!). But I participated in two, both of which were hosted by one our store CT members, Marilyn. I am so pleased with how they turned out!

I used the soon to be released "Retro Diner" from Fran B Designs (coming June 20th!) for this one:

And for this one, I used pieces from the Amazing Women blog hop we at WLS hosted during iNSD recently:

If you were unable to participate this weekend, all is not lost. Most of the designers are adding their parts (some with add-ons!) to the store soon. Here is my part, which will be available on Friday with the new release discount:

We have a fun event planned for July as well - we've got to keep you folks scrapping this summer! Keep an eye on the With Love Studio forums for details!

Summer Sand Bucket List Event and my first ever Speed Scrap!

I hope you all have found your way to With Love Studio this weekend for the super fun Summer Sand Bucket List event! We have a bunch of speed scraps happening throughout the weekend, including one tomorrow at 2 PM EST with yours truly! Each SS you participate in earns you a mini kit as a reward, and all of the minis coordinate to form a large "Summer Bucket List" themed collab!

All of the information you need is here, and the schedule of events is as follows:

And here is a sneak peek at the mini I created, which can be yours if you participate in my SS tomorrow! Stop by at 2 PM EST for chatting, scrapping, and getting to know each other!

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!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I've always enjoyed St. Patrick's Day. So much fun, and besides, I love the color green! The XOXO collab this month is all about the luck of the Irish. I was so happy to be a contributor to this fabulous collab! Be sure to check out Irish Meadow at With Love Studio.

We have a lot of great St. Patrick's Day sales and challenges this month at WLS. There are some fabulous prizes! Be sure to stop by the forums to find everything that is going on!

And finally, I have a little sale going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
