The Next Step

So this week I came up with a new, HUGE kit (I swear, they keep on getting larger and larger, it's ridiculous!) with lots of yummy boy colors (which girls can use too, of course!): The Next Step. My "little" Allen is growing up, and I needed some way to show how he's already entering the "tween" stage...









And wow oh wow, got some great pages for it too!

Commercial/Personal Grunge Brushes, & Off-Kilter Dates!

I thought I'd be designed-out for a while, but look what popped out! The CU/PU Brushes 5: Grunge are a set of 27 (!) brushes in .abr and .png files. Grunge brushes are so great for making papers, photomasks, distressed anythings... And as a scrapper, you can use them to fade your photos, or add interest behind a photo or element on your layout. I love grunge brushes! (These were all made from photos I took of things. Guess my habit of standing nose to wall or nose to floor is paying off! *giggles*)

Astrid made this really cool page with the Hi Energy kit and the Grunge Brushes:

And also out popped some funky typography in date form, with three versions: totally grunged, slightly grunged and offset 3D edge, and just slightly grunged. The three versions have 0-9, days of the week, and month names. Here are the Off-Kilter: Dates:

I have several layouts for these:

By Astrid, with Precious:

By Vera, with Small Things:

And by Jetje, with Wishes Come True:

Both products are of course 20% off through this Sunday. I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

Happy happy iNSD!

Yes, it's *that* day--when we all go crazy with challenges and scrapping and total fun! And just for that, I have a 50% sale for you on most everything in my store, except for stuff under €2 anyway, and my very newest kit, Precious, which is itself 20% off as usual, BUT comes with a free add-on mini-kit (just put both in your cart at the same time to receive the 2nd one for free!). See, I'm so excited, I'm even writing in long sentences! *laugh*

And here's the new kit, Precious:

And the free add-on mini-kit (put both in your cart; it will zero out at check-out):

And look, I even scrapped!
