May Visiting Teaching Message

Since we are moving, we were asked to speak in church in our local ward (congregation) one last time. We were asked to speak on a talk from Saturday morning conference (which is a bi-yearly event for our church--all talks can be found here). I chose the talk by Julie Beck. This was such a great quote. I also included a blank one, in case you want to pick your own quote from the many talks from conference. I made it 4x6 inches, so it is very affordable to print as a photo. I like these cards matted on card stock.

I used my Articles of Faith Mega Kit to make this, which is on sale this month 30% off since I'm the Designer of the Month at Scrapbook-Elements. My Articles of Faith book is also on sale.

I also decided to make it into a desktop, so I'm giving away two freebies today!

Templates and Stamps

Life has been a little crazy lately. My sister is getting married next week and then we are moving the week after. I'm trying to do a little scrapping here and there. I need a break every once in awhile right? Hopefully I won't be too MIA. So this week I've got some new templates and stamps. Here's Template Pack #101-104. It's on sale at Scrapbook-Elements at 25% off until Monday night, US central time.

These are the inspiration layouts, using Funny Bunny kit.

Here are the Swirly Stamps, and the layouts I made using them.

For these layouts I used Take a Hike Mini Kit, UBI Floral Symphony Elements, Deep Blue Kit, I Do Kit, and Good Luck Charm Mini Kit all by me, Holley Berry Designs! The wordart is by Elegant Wordart by Bethany.

Thanks for looking!

iNSD Sale!

I've got lots of doorbusters, $1 and $2 items here, and everything else is 40% off. Happy inter-National Scrapbook Day!

Funny Bunny and gift

I am so excited about this kit even though it's sort of late for an Easter kit. It's still April right? I drew the bunny last year around Easter time, but never got around to doing an Easter kit. Then with all of my computer trouble, right before Easter, I wasn't able to get this done. I decided to just go for it and I love how it turned out! Funny Bunny kit is now available at Scrapbook-Elements and will be 25% off until Monday night.

These views are just so you can get a better look at everything.

Here are the Quickpages, also on sale!

And here are my layouts

My daughter took the overexposed picture in the next layout, and they only let you take one photo when you use your own camera. It was still cute so I wanted to scrap it. The camera just didn't pick up enough info to fix the picture (yea that's me fixing it!).

And here's a gift for you, two copies: one with "The Easter Bunny" and one without. Thanks for looking!

Sneak Peek

Designer of the Month

I'm the featured designer at Scrapbook-Elements this month. That means that I have several products on sale for 30% off! Here are a few:

Here is the link again, but if you were to go the store from another link, make sure to click on Designer of the Month on the left side to get the discount. I also answered a bunch of questions for the newsletter. In case you didn't get the newsletter, here's the little interview:

1. How long have you been scrapping digitally? Technically since 2006 with a scrapbooking software, but I wasn’t fully committed until 2008 when I discovered “freebies” and the online world of scrapbooking.

2. Do you paper scrap as well? Occasionally, when I need to scrap pictures that used to be hanging on the wall.

3. Tell a bit about what prompted you to start creating digital layouts. Once I had two kids I became pretty overwhelmed with keeping up on the paper scrapping. I loved the idea that I could scrap one page and print out 3 copies for 3 different books. Also, I love the look of stitching, brads, ribbons, etc. on layouts but I don’t really enjoy working with itty bitty things. I love the look but don’t love the time/cost it takes to get it.

4. What graphics program do you use primarily? Photoshop Elements

5. How would you describe your design style? I love bright colors and lots of blended color. It is very important to me that my designs are original and I am also very inspired by real paper scrapping. I don’t like overly cutesy, but themes do inspire me. I try to go for more of a simplified and modern look than cute.

6. How would you describe your scrapping style? I like to be illustrative but not redundant. I like a simple, clean look that focuses on the photos. Also, everything has to match—that is one thing I LOVE about digital scrapbooking. I can always change the papers or elements to match my photos.

7. What do you do with your finished layouts? How do you print? What size? I get my layouts printed (or the goal is to eventually have them all printed). Mostly I print 12x12, but I have done some of my kids’ books in 8x8. Also, I have my layouts on my screensaver.

8. Tell us a bit about yourself, your family, your work, etc. I am a stay-at-home mom. My husband is a realtor and I have 3 kids, ages 7(girl), 5(boy), and 2(boy).

9. What other hobbies do you have besides designing and digiscrapping? I enjoy singing, playing the piano, exercising, painting, and reading.

10. What are your favorite movies or TV shows? My favorite TV shows are Chuck and Glee. I loved Ironman and one of my all time favorites is Princess Bride.

11. What is your favorite food... "real" and "snack". My favorite food is chicken stir fry and my favorite snack is graham crackers and milk, unless I’m in the mood for pretzels and chocolate chips (that’s usually at night when we don’t have any Lindor chocolate in the house).

12. What is the most unusual bit of information about you that makes you unique? I live and breath my to do list. I love to organize and reorganize my life. That’s not to say I’m always organized, I just love the process of organizing.

List any other random things about you. Can be listed simply as words if you like. One of my favorite books is The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. I LOVE Wicked the musical. My favorite Twilight book was the unfinished Midnight Sun. I hope she finishes it! I would love to take swing and salsa dance classes with my husband (and he wouldn’t mind!).

Huge Template Packs

So I reached Template #100! To celebrate I decided to bundle a bunch of my templates into packs of twenty. First, here's Template Pack #97-100, available for 25% off for two days.

For these next two I used my new mini kit, The Hukilau, that will be available in the newsletter at SBE next Wednesday. I'm the featured designer so make sure to sign up if you haven't yet. See the end of this post for a preview.

Okay here is Template Mega Pack #81-100. There are 20 templates, 12x12 inches, 300ppi, and available in psd and png formats. Getting a huge bundle is perfect for large albums, or if you just want to get caught up on a bunch of scrapping. Also, you get a much better price per template in the large bundle.
