Newness & Goodies: Part II

So yes! Anita van Straeten (Designs by Anita) and I have made a collab together, and it's come together *beautifully*! It's called Heartbound, and it's all about friendship--of any kind. In warm, soft tones, it works wonderfully for both boys and girls, men and women, and everybody in between...

Here's what it looks like:

Elements:

And ohhhhhhhh man, the layouts, the layouts... just amazing! My CT, Anita's CT, the store CT--so many layouts it's just not possible to show even half of them!

TRISTA! Congratulations! Please contact me with your e-mail addy so I can mail you the coupon code... I really enjoyed reading what each of you had to say about friendship! I'm going for the fridge one at the moment... ;)

Sneak Peek & Giveaway: Heartbound!

And guess what? You have a chance at winning--just leave a comment in the section below about what friendship means to you, and I'll select a random winner on Friday. And guess what too? If you go over to Anita's blog, you'll get a SECOND chance at winning! Hope you'll like the kit--we had a great time working together!

Sneak Peek Giveaway! [closed]

Inspired by an old French song whose refrain kept floating through my head, I've created an ultra-romantic, vintagy, delicate sort of a kit. Here's a sneak peek:

 

So, what earworms do you carry around (I think that's the official term for a song that won't let you go)? Leave me an answer on my blog, and I'll pick a random winner sometime between Thursday and Friday!

Sneak Peek--and Give-away! (closed)

 ETA: And the winner is........

SOCO! Félicitations!! I'll send you the links via PM...

and now, go check out the real thing in the shop!

Thanks for playing everybody!!

Ooooh, looky what I have coming @ MScraps this Thursday/Friday... In Your Own World! It's a great kit for all your daydreamers, your distracted little geniuses, your perpetually story-telling son -- wait, that's mine. ;) Maybe you have one like him?

Anyway, I'd love to give this kit away to one of you. Tell me--as a child, were you ever lost in your own little world(s)? What do you remember about that? Let me know what it was like in a comment to this post, and Mr. Random will reward one of you with a rather large kit, come release time!

Sneak Peek - Giveaway: Cozy Warm Christmas @ MScraps!

Which seems especially appropriate, since it's literally freezing out here on the coast, which is most unusual, and I'm afraid my beautiful fuchsia are going to be blasted down to the ground!

This kit has aaaaaaaaalllllll kinds of goodies in it. Tons of wordart and brushes, rich papers, neato doodles and some realistic elements too. So, if you're interested, leave me a comment about what kind of art supply you'd really like to get for Christmas! I'm hoping my mom will get me a paper cutter that doesn't actually act like it drank too much and wobbles all over my edges...

No Regrets!

Yay, my kit No Regrets is now released @ MScraps--and I love it! You'll be amazed at what kind of different layouts you can make with it--it's soooo versatile. You can use it for boys AND girls, too!

"Lisa (dlhoffer) said...
This looks amazing, Heather, WOW!!!! I always take time to stop & listen when my children have something to tell me. They are only little for such a short time & even small things can be very important things to young ones & I want them to know that I value what they have to say. Thanks so much for the chance to win this beautiful kit :)

Sneak Peek Giveaway! (closed)

Well, I'm nothing if not versatile. Heh. This week @ the Digichick I have a rich, elegant kit with a ton of gorgeous elements and luscious papers for you called Forest Dreams:

AND

I have a smooth, modern, doodly kit (with templates and lots of wordart!) called Healing, at MScraps:

And, since my mother is coming to visit for two weeks, and we haven't seen her in a year, I'm in the mood for a give-away! So leave me a comment about your mother or your favorite mother-like person, and which kit you're shooting for, and Mr. Random might just land something in your lap... =) Both kits will end up in the stores on US Thursday--TDC first, then MScraps. Whee! [Note: see the next post for the winner!]
