New element packs, and only 2 days left in my big sale!

First, I want to remind you of my moving sale! Hurry, because the sale ends this Saturday, March 14!



This week only, save 30% on my entire store, excluding some collabs. If you purchase $15 or more, your savings increase to 40%! What a great deal!


And now for my new releases!

First, I have another volume of my popular stitching packs, All Stitched Up. All Stitched Up Vol. II is all about borders! There are 5 unique borders in 10 colors each, for a total of 50 borders! Then another volume of my popular date tags. It's A Date Vol. II contains everything you need to date your layouts.


I also have a new Tag Alpha. It includes a full alphabet with upper and lower case, numbers, and common punctuation, as well as a bonus jump ring, brad, and string tie to attach your tags. Lastly, is an acrylic element pack I've been wanting to do for a while. Clearly Misshapen contains over 30 fun and unique acrylic shapes, borders, frames, and tags, perfect for adding to any layout!



Remember, everything is 30% off this week only! Your savings increase to 40% with a purchase of $15 or more!

And finally, some inspiration from my awesome CT. They did an incredible job this week of combining all my new element packs with previously released kits. I don't know what I'd do without them!

Catching Up and a Freebie!

Wow, life has been busy! Obviously, my blog has been neglected as a result. :) I'll try to do a little better.

Our whole house is sick with the crud right now. :( We all have fevers, congestion, aches and pains, and the like. I'll be glad when this is all over!

On a personal note, I am the featured scrapper for Bella Scraps this month! It was such an honor to be featured! If you haven't picked up your copy yet, hop over to their site and check it out!

I wanted to show off my newest release. Spring Cottage is one of my favorite kits so far! It's full of refreshing, fun elements to get you in the mood for Spring. You can pick it up at Elemental Scraps. Remember, if you sign up for my newsletter (left side of this blog), you can get info about exclusive sales, freebies, and coupons!

Until next time!

Potty trained!!!

Woo hoo! I think we've finally done it! K is using the "big potty" as she calls it all the time now. It only took us 8 months! lol We even took her shopping the other day and she didn't have any accidents. I am so proud of her! She's still wearing pullups at night, but we'll deal with that in time. :)
