The results are in! With 10.5 votes over Palette B's 1 vote and Palette C's 7.5 votes ---

PALETTE A IS THE WINNER!

This is the color palette I will be using to create the Heritage kit for my blog readers.I will be back later today with some other choices for you to make, so round up your friends!
I will probably set up a poll for these votes, but I will also need you to leave a comment about what option you voted for - in case the poll is not happy about being a poll - LOL.

Don't forget today at DigibyDesign, you can get my Wednesday Girl Sampler for 50% off - just $1.50!!! If you picked up Wednesday Girl yesterday during the $3.00 Friday event at Digiscrap Boutique (and even if you didn't), you'll want to get this kit, too. These items are not in that kit - they are more fun girly things like word ribbons, a crown, some flowers - stuff not shown in the preview, too. You can see all the Super Saver Saturday deals at DigibyDesign by going HERE.


And, the Scrap Saturday Freebie!

The download link will be posted in my Yahoo group, so you will need to join in order to get his freebie and Parts 1 and 2 of Ashbury. Ashbury and Peabody (see earlier posts to get the 3 parts of Peabody posted so far) are completely mix-and-match. They are created from the same color palette. Peabody is more sophisticated with traditional patterns. Ashbury has a more modern twist.


You can join my Yahoo group by going HERE.
Once you are a member, you can see the Links section listed on the left side of the home page.
Just click on the word Links, and you will see the listing of all the scrap goodies I have for you.

August Challenges!

It's a new month and time for new Challenges!

I have 4 challenges going this month, and I hope you take part in all of them. There are some cool posting gifts and lots of fun and friendship!

CHALLENGES AT DECO-PAGES

ABC Album Challenge

We are working on a FAMILY IN ACTION album - letters J-O. Don't panic, you only have to do one page for the challenge!

This is the posting gift for August:
I have been giving away parts of my Wisteria kit. There are just a few parts left, but there are more than enough goodies to make lots of feminine and vintage layouts. I'm sure you'll love the soft lilac, purple, cream and butter shades in this kit.
This month you'll get 2 papers, 2 charms, some ricrac, a brad, 1 ribbon and alpha letters J through O and numerals 4 through 6.
Find out all about this challenge HERE.

Holiday Challenge

I really like finding fun holidays to scrap about for this challenge! I have chosen Friendship Week for the August Holiday Challenge. You can find out all the details HERE.

This is the posting gift for August:
You'll get lots of pieces of my Summer Pie kit - 3 papers, ricrac, ribbons, buttons, bows and brads. This kit will go into the store after the challenge is over, so grab it now for free just by submitting a Holiday Challenge layout!

Material Girl Challenge

Another fun challenge is the Material Girl Challenge. I give you a little scrapbooking element or papers, and you use it in a layout you post to receive a neat posting gift. This month you get to work with some flowers. Aren't they great...these are also from Summer Pie...so they match all the Summer Pie pieces!
You can find out all about the challenge HERE.
This is the posting gift...more fun pieces from Summer Pie! I know you'll want to do both of these challenges so you can get them all!

CHALLENGE AT DIGIBYDESIGN

Elements Challenge

Following the Friendship theme for the month of August, I have a fun challenge at DigibyDesign this month. I am giving out some friendship-themed word art. If you post a qualifying layout for the challenge, you'll get a posting gift.


This is the posting gift for August. All of the challenge gifts at DigibyDesign are done with the same colors and theme, so the more challenges you do, the bigger your kit will be!
I have 5 papers, 2 flowers and 3 ribbons for you. Find out about the challenge HERE.

I can't wait to see your layouts for all of these challenges!

Weekend Freebies!

It's time for more FREEBIES! I know these are late getting to you, but jet lag is absolutely awful going west to east. I was up until 8:30 AM this morning, and got up about 2 PM...talk about backwards!
Anyway, here are some papers from new kits I am working on...they share the same color palette so you can mix and match if you like!
Over the next month or so, I will give out more parts of the kits before they go into the store.

Babette and Betsy will be removed as freebies very soon (TOMORROW), so get them while you can!

Peabody is a sophisticated masculine kit...lots of elegance with a cozy touch. Think of wood-paneled libraries, smoking jackets and lush winter throws, and you'll have where I'm going.


Please remember to share only by giving a link to my blog home page. Do not share the files or the direct link in any way - even if you receive nothing in return, that's still stealing!
Please leave some love. I love to know what you think. And, don't forget to vote in the poll for the blog kit I'm going to make for you!
Thank you for your interest, but this freebie has been retired.

This set of papers is for my Yahoo group members. Ashbury has the same colors as Peabody, but the patterns and elements will be more contemporary in flavor. They're not quite mod, not quite hip, and not quite retro - but they are definitely not your grandmother's scrapbook kit.
You can click HERE to join so you'll never miss another RoseMadeDesigns Scrap Saturday freebie - even if today is Sunday - LOL.

Just Rambling,

Marcee

I am back from vacation and jet lagged to the MAX! I was up until about 6 AM this morning. It is now 10:30 AM...I have had a headache since yesterday. It's probably lack of sleep, lack of water and caffeine deprivation. I don't drink a lot of coffee or water when I travel on planes (for obvious reasons - LOL). But, I have java in hand now, and some great stuff to share with you!

It's time for the monthly MEGA kits!!!!

Deco-Pages has a great kit this month. It's full of country, family, love, and homespun beauty. We call it Country Potpourri!
I am proud to say my color palette was chosen to create this month's kit. I had a lot of fun creating my part: 14 backgrounds, 36 pieces of word art, 2 journal shapes, 5 tied ribbons, 5 buttons and thread, 12 stitched country shapes and 2 flowers. Plus, a cute shadowbox quick page. Here is my contribution preview:

And this preview shows more of the contributions for this month. I am sorry it is so small, but you can see a better view in the store.

This is a MEGA KIT - something Club Deco members get every month at Deco-Pages. Over a dozen designers contributed to this month's kit - right now, it is over 800 MB!!! More will be added very soon - we like to space out your downloads. This kit is available for free as part of a Club Deco membership. We have 2 options available - 3 months and 1 full year.

DigibyDesign also has a new MEGA KIT out this month - Going to the Chapel. This is a wonderfully romantic kit. I just love the soft colors and hearts, flowers and lacy things in this kit! This kit is well over 500 MB, and is just $3.99 for a limited time (regular price is $9.99 - still a bargain IMO). This is THE kit for anything romantic - wedding, anniversary, first date, prom - or anything soft and feminine!!!!


Here are some close-ups of my contribution to the kit. I made 9 background papers, 3 flowers, 3 heart charms, 4 ribbons, a set of silver filigree corners and 3 heart dangle charms on bows.
This is all the purple stuff I made:

JUST $3.99 (that's 60% OFF) for a limited time!

I know I am late again with the Freebie on Friday and the Scrap Saturday goodies, but jet lag is no fun! I hope to have goodies for you by Monday!

Just Rambling,

Marcee

Freebie on Friday and Scrap Saturday

Once again, I am late with posting...but yesterday was my older daughter's birthday! And, I'm still on vacation - LOL!

But here is your Friday treat (on Saturday!). This is part 4 of Babette.
You'll get 3 papers, 2 bows, and some more buttons.

Please leave some love - vote in my polls over on the right there! Please remember to link to my blog HOME page only when sharing and do not redistribute the files or download link in any way. Thanks!

Thanks for your interest, but this freebie has been moved to the store.

If you missed Part 1 of Babette it is now listed in the Links section of my Yahoo group:

Parts 1-4 of Babette will be up at least until my vacation is over...maybe a day or two after that, so if you know of anyone who might like, send them here. Links for Parts 2 and 3 are in previous posts.

For my Yahoo group members, I have Part 4 of Betsy this week. This contains 2 bows, 2 satin ribbons and 2 papers. The link is listed in the link section of my Yahoo group (see join link above) - and I still have listed the links for Parts 1, 2 and 3 also.

We are heading back to Germany next week, so I'll probably leave these links up until I can catch up with laundry and unpacking...but then...look out!

This freebie has been moved to the store.

Also, I am doing a Blog Reader's kit, so please vote in the polls I post. I will also have some colors for you to look at soon (depending on what kind of kit I'll be making).

Have a great weekend!

This kit has OVER 370 MB! It is HUGE! It has everything you need! Plus, it's only $9.99!

I've also added lots of new kits to my store at Digiscrap Boutique!
Here's just one of them:

Pansy AddOn has more of the rich, bright colors to coordinate with the full Pansy kit. I just love the texture on these papers and I had so much fun make all the bling!

So...run, don't walk to Deco-Pages, Digiscrap Boutique and DigibyDesign and pick up these great kits!

I hope to talk to you all soon...and I'll have a freebie on Friday (technology willing)!

Just Rambling,

Marcee

New Kits at Digiscrap Boutique!

I have just added 5 new kits and 2 commercial use items to my Digiscrap Boutique store!

Pansy AddOn is a great mini kit that coordinates with the full Pansy kit. It has great colors, feminine elements and lovely textured papers.

Vintage Meadow 2 extends my Vintage Meadow kit with more elements and papers with a fun twist - dots and stripes, sanded wood and fabric!

Misty is full of fun colors! This is definitely a girly-girl kit...lots of flowers, dots, stickers and bows will make loads of cool layouts!

And, it's never too early to start thinking about those holiday tags, photo cards and invitations...or maybe you are a little behind on last year's scrapping? I have two kits that are perfect for all of that and more!

Cracker is named for the fun holiday party favors that snap open to reveal prizes.
This mini kit would be great for gift tags or photo cards, in addition to layouts.

And, Sugarplums reminds me of all those holiday goodies at Grandma's house.
Aren't those gingerbread cookies cute????


The last two items are for personal or commercial use.

First, I have a lovely set of silver and gold Heart Charms - 22 in all. I am really proud of these, and I hope they will be the perfect accent for your feminine and heritage pages.


Then, you need something to hang all those charms...and tags, tassels and everything else!

I have a set of brads, coils, chains and jump rings for personal or commercial use, too.
These Charms Accessories will come in handy for just about any kit.
