New Releases 3/27!

Hi everyone! It's been a great week at ScrapMatters! I hope you've all had a fabulous week.

I have some fun new kits this week! First is Mod Boy. Mod Girl was so popular that I decided to make one for boys. It's packed with fun retro elements.



It's 25% off Friday only, so pick it up before it goes back to regular price!

I'm also offering the Mod Collection, which includes Mod Boy and Mod Girl. You can purchase the collection to save 30% off the total price!



And lastly, one of my favorite fellow designers, Megan Turnidge, and I have teamed up to bring you this awesome Grab Bag! We've stuffed over $15 worth of product in this bag, but for just 2 weeks, you can snag it for just $5! You can go to the shop to check out more detailed images of what is included in the bag.



And now for some inspiration from my fabulous CT! First Mod Boy:

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!

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. :)
