April's Right Around the Corner...

... and ACK! That means my sweet little boy is turning 13! Not that "little" applies in any real sense. Heh.

Allen with the Soda Bread he made

Meanwhile, on the business front, lots is going on. For one thing, I've teamed up with Tiramisu Design to make the PickleBerryPop free-with-purchase kit this month--buy $10 worth of stuff, and get our kit for free!

Also, I have three new products of my one. Happy Pack 1 is a minikit with fun colors and a lively feel. I had a lot of fun making it, so I'm hoping to do a few more every once in a while. Julie made a wonderful layout with it, too!

Also, during Spring Break while the guys were gone, I had time to play around with smelly art stuff and made some super fun scribblies that are also popping with color! You can find these in my Commercial Use section at PickleBerryPop (but you can also use them in a Personal use manner as well):

 And finally, I mustn't forget to mention that PBP is having a "subscriber push" -- which in my case translates to "get Heather off her butt and make her have a newsletter, with freebies." SO! First step is... freebies! *laugh* I have to get subscribers in order to send out a newsletter, right? And if you sign up for my newsletter, here's what you'll get in your "you're subscribed" welcome letter:

And here's my newsletter link in case you missed all the hints above: http://eepurl.com/bUuxDX

Hope you're in a colorful mood too! ♥

Post-Thanksgiving Sales

I have been a BUSY bee!! So, not only was there that blog hop freebie, but I have been making new stuff like crazy. Here's one thing: Oscraps has this event once a month called the Mini-O's, where designers are given a palette and choose 2-3 of the colors to make packs, which are then 44% off for 4 days starting the 4th Friday of the month. This month the colors made me feel rather festive... and hence, 3 packs of FESTIVE BITS: a mini-kit, decorative papers (those were fun to make, and I might make more of these in the future), and brushes.

As it turns out, the store is also hosting a Black Friday through Cyber Monday sale, and my store is 40% off everything (except one collection, which is off more than that). And I made the ad with one of my new Doodled Corners (#2)--it's so fun to play with!!

 

 Finally... I have ANOTHER freebie for you, which you can pick up in the store. Something's in the Air... a lot of holiday excitement, I'd say!!! 

I hope all of you have had a lovely day whether it was filled with turkey or not (mine wasn't, since I'm a vegetarian, but boy did I have a lot of bourbon-filled, pecan-covered sweet potatoes! *lol*

Oscraps Blog Hop!

Well hello! Welcome to the Thanksgiving Oscraps Blog Hop...

I hope you have loved ones you can hug tight, and time to play.

♥

You should have hopped over from  Rita's place at Blue Flower Art. 

And after my part, you'll be heading over to Jenn's place at Joyful Heart Designs.

For a complete list of the hops, check Oscraps at this thread.

Productivity Overdrive!

Well, May was a HUGELY BUSY month for me. I had to finish (well, start and finish) a 5'x18" banner for a Midsummer Masquerade fundraiser ball in town. It's been sooooooooo long since I've painted on canvas--I was really scared to start! The 2nd day was the worst, but on the last day I suddenly hit my groove, and the whole thing turned out ok. (You can see it on the fundraiser auction website here.) Plus, I was busy making TWO free kits for 2 different scrapping sites. More on those later in June! So then I figured that if I was going to be featured in June, I should probably have some new stuff in my shops... and *boom!* Creativity happened!

So, I have a new kit for you called Flying Colors (I'd polled my fans on Facebook about whether "Tickled Pink" or "Flying Colors" caught their fancy more, and the latter won). It's nominally about graduation from any grade, but also of course about that exciting and fearful time of change, when you don't really know what's going to happen next... I had to show the brushes, and the word art, separately (click on them to see them full size), cuz of course the kit is huge!

And this, is a coordinating freebie!!

 

  Not only all that, but I also participated in the MScraps Memory Mix collection, where you can get mix and match pieces for either $1 or $2, depending on how full the packs are. Mine's a delightful collection of beach-themed brushes called Sunsplashed, taken from photographs of my own wanderings, of course!

And furthermore, while I was coming up with my little bead scatters for the Flying Colors kit, I just went ahead and extracted a whole BUNCH of beads, and put them in my commercial use shop (though they're good for CU or PU!):

I will leave you to imagine how long it took to use the pen tool to extract all those babies. Heh.

So there you go! And the end of school is approaching, which means I have less and less to do each day as Allen claws his way through the end of the curriculum--and for me, that means MORE TIME! Can't wait for summer vacation!

Hope everybody has a wonderful weekend playing. =)

WAHOO! iNSD is here!

I so love to just burn through all the challenges and make zillions of pages on these weekends... *happy sigh* And hopefully you do too! I have a global 50% sale going on both at the Commercial Use store, and the Personal Use store. So if you need extra goodies, you know where to go! Plus, I have a couple of freebies for you as well! You can pick them up on my Design by Heather T. Facebook page, or scroll down.

What a weekend!

We had a lovely trip up to Washington for the Thanksgiving holiday, which we spent with old friends and their family. Got to catch a view of Mt. Hood on the way:

 

 If you do Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful one! And in the meantime, shopping opportunities abound! I have so much new stuff and sales this weekend--I don't know how I managed to pull it all together, really. First, a new kit called Spice Of Life (all in nice autumnal colors, too):

In addition, I made 3 clusters which are only offered as a Free-With-Purchase (over $5.00) deal:

And, I put up 2 new freebies on my Facebook Design by Heather T. page: Templates (under the PU tab) and a mask (under the CU tab, but it can be used for personal use too, of course):

To add to all this, I have a new little mini Black Friday Stash kit! The deal on these is that you can get each for $2.39, or mix and match 5 for $10! Here's mine:

Plus (I know, it doesn't end! *laugh*), I'm retiring a bunch of my kits and element packs. They'll be here through Cyber Monday, but then they're gone. I've placed them at 58% off for the most part, but if you buy 4 of them, you'll get an extra 50% off.

And if you've hung around this long, you'll love looking at these gorgeous pages by my talented CT crew:

Another free font for ya... Alphabits Squared!

This is a fun little font! You can find it at Dafont.com, along with my other ones. I've got quite a little collection over there by now--12 of them!

Collaborative Kit Freebie!

Anita of Anita Designs and I collaborated to make you this gorgeous mini-kit, just because we love you guys and hope you get some "Me Time" to yourselves this weekend!

It's big enough that we had to separate elements and papers: 

Hope you enjoy it, and we'd love to read some comments, too--that always makes our day!

Font Freebie: Alphabits!

3 fonts in the Alphabits family: regular, light, and fat. You can get them at dafont.com!

As always, these fonts are free for personal and commercial use, but they may under no conditions be resold, even as part of a compilation, and if redistributed, MUST be accompanied by the original TOU. This is my way of paying back the design community for its generosity in many areas, whether it's for fonts, brushes, or textures.
