Freebie, Gift with Purchase and More!

Hello!

I hope everyone survived the cookouts and fireworks in the States! We had hot dogs, hamburgers, curly fries, potato salad baked beans and watermelon. It was nummmmmmy!

I am really excited about what I have to share with you today. Now, I have to say that I am not a beach person. I did some ocean swimming as a kid, but even then, I was never much into the sand thing - LOL. But, I was really inspired when I created my Color Jam kit Cool Azul.


It is an awesome summer kit - not just for beaches. Some of the papers have a beach theme to them, but most of them don't, and there are lots of elements that have nothing to do with the beach. But, if you have beach photos to scrap, you NEED this kit!

And, I made some more stuff for it!!!!!
Here is a hybrid set of quick pages for the Ethan Chipboard Album:

And, for those of you who like a little more tropical style to your beach stuff, here is a great Gift With Purchase kit. Don't you love the beach clothes and the paper patterns? Thanks so much to Lynn Reloza of The Scrapping Garden. You will get this free when you purchase any TWO Cool Azul items in one order and send me your receipt (email is in the upper right section of the blog). This will also be available for purchase, but why not get it for FREE!

And coming tomorrow....these cool addon papers!

See the entire Cool Azul Collection HERE.

And, I can't let you leave without a freebie! This gives you an idea of what the Cool Azul kit is all about , but none of these items are in any of the kits! You get a couple of papers, a shirt, some word art and cool shades!

And, don't forget the new kits I have at Studio Style Designs and the great deals at DigitalScrapDesigns (30% off everything - CU & S4H), Deco-Pages (50% off more than 40 items plus 40% off each $10.00 or more purchase) and DigibyDesign (50% off 20 kits).

It's July!!! Freebie, Mega Kit & Grab Bag!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!!!!

Okay, I know...it has been July for a few days - VBG. The first day of the month is always hectic for me because of all the new challenges and mega kits. I have to post the new stuff, give out the posting gifts for the previous challenges, post the links and images for mega kits...well, you get the idea.
So, I am a little late with some stuff...LOL.



Today I thought I would share what is in store for you with the DigibyDesign July Mega Kit - Summer Brights.


You can find it here for just $3.99 for a few more days (then it goes to the full $9.99 price - still a bargain):


This kit is REALLY BIG - over 80 papers, over 190 elements and 3 alphas!


Here is my contribution:


20 of my kits at DigibyDesign are being retired. On July 31st, they go into that scrapbook closet far, far away. So, you have a short time to get them.
They are all on sale for 50% off!!!


You can find them here:


Also, I have a grab bag available at DXD this month. It is just $2 for 7 different items. All are suitable for most graphics programs (PNG, JPG and PSD files).
You can find it here:

If you hurry you can see a sneak peek of what's inside by looking at the preview - although the preview shown here gives you some hints. I sent in the wrong one - LOL - but I have requested a change, so go NOW if you don't like surprises.

I will tell you what kinds of things are in there, though.
1 Commercial Use overlay
1 Personal Use Layout Template (2 sizes)
1 Personal Use/S4H Kit
1 Personal Use/S4H Paper Pack
1 Personal use/S4H Alpha Set
1 Personal Use/S4H Element Pack
1 Personal Use/S4H Brag Book Mini Set


This grab bag will be gone after July 31st, and I have no idea if I will sell the individual items after that (I tend to forget to do this, so you better get it now).


And, here is a freebie for you. It matches something inside my grab bag!

I'm Now at Studio Style Designs!

I have great news! I was asked to join the Design Team at Studio Style Designs, and I accepted.

I officially have my first product in the store in time for the great 50% off Grand Re-Opening Sale. They have been hard at work redesigning the site and updating the forum (which is still getting some adjustments), so they said, "Let's have a SALE!"

Here is what I have available so far (with more on the way very soon, if you know me - LOL)

It is my brand-new American Heart Bracket Album. This is a fabulous and versatile album for those of you trying the new hybrid-style scrapping. But, it will also be wonderful for anyone who still wants to be 100% digi! Just add a background paper behind the finished bracket page and that's it!

This is a large album set with 10 photo-ready pages, 2 journaling pages (one not shown) and 5 blank pages (you can use them for covers or make your own pages from them!).
This album is on sale for 50% oFF during the Studio Style Designs celebration...it is just $3.50!
You can find it HERE.

Here are some layout examples I did using the album.


The font is Harrigton.
And, I just love the matching journaling page!

I'll be back soon with more great stuff and possible a freebie or two. You know what the first of the month means - chats, challenges, new kits...and I am already 1 day late!

Just Rambling,

Marcee

Freebie and Super Saver Saturday June 28th!

I've had this blog for a while now, and I realize that I haven't really done much "blogging" in the sense of writing and sharing. This is a little odd because writing is something that comes fairly naturally to me - I studied it in college and have two English degrees (okay, you can stop laughing now) - but sharing is not really me.

I am not a very social person. In fact, most people have found me to seem "stuck-up" when they first meet me because I don't talk a lot in social situations when I don't know people. I am a lot better now than when I was younger. My mom could not get me away from a book long enough to say hello to visiting family. I am also not good at talking on the phone. I really don't like it - never have - except for the brief periods when I had crushes on boys. I could talk to them for hours...LOL. And, with my friends and most family I will talk...some might think too much.

So, I have made it a personal goal to try to share something every once in a while. I would like to once a week, but I know that won't happen - LOL - life is too busy. But, at least you will know I am trying.

Here is today's tale...
Every morning one of my children - I am not saying which one - gets up before everyone else. This child prepares breakfast at exactly 6 AM every day because that is the earliest house rules will allow it (due to the noise creating breakfast usually makes). I am usually up about 5:30. Today was no different. I hear this crashing and clanking coming from the kitchen - more than the usual noise level...I go to investigate (mind you, this is BEFORE coffee).
I ask, "What is all that noise?"
The child looks at me and says, "I was putting the dishes away."
Now, normally this would be a cause for rejoicing in any household...a kid actually helping out without being asked. But, no, not in my house, and NOT this morning because as is typical - when my kids help out on a volunteer basis, it usually means they are doing it horribly wrong.
Don't get me wrong. I love them all, but I'm not sure how my skull hasn't exploded yet.

So, I look at the child - take away the coffee mug about to go onto the shelf - and say, "But, these dishes aren't clean. The dishwasher did not run. Can't you tell they aren't clean?!?!??" Apparently those really expensive glasses do not give one the ability to see dried mac-n-cheese or coffee stains on ordinary household items. Sigh.
So, as I listen to the hum of my dishwasher, I present to you my great deals for Super Saver Saturday today at DigibyDesign!

It is my Alisa Collection - all of it is on sale for 50% OFF today ONLY - June 28th!

I've created a matching freebie for you. Here's a cute sticker alphas and some flowers and flower clips.
This freebie has been retired.
Talk to you soon!

Super Saver Saturday Freebie!

You should know what Saturday means by now!
More great kits for 50% off at DigibyDesign! This Saturday, June 21st, I have 2 awesome masculine kits on sale for you for $3.25 and $3.00! These are just what you need for all of those Father's Day layouts you are still working on and wonderful for all of your graduating gentlemen. The images are linked to the kits in the store, so just click 'em to get more details.

First we have Luke - a blend of blue, tan and grey with heaps of manly elements:

The second 50% off kit is Matthew...a grungy mix of green and brown...look at all that cool metal!

And, I also have a freebie for you! Here is a little quick page I made from the Matthew kit and the AddOn kit. I have a 12x12 and an 8x8-inch page in the file...sorry if you scrap rectangles (you might be able to resize it). I'll try to make some of those soon.

This freebie has been retired.

PSSSSSST - Because of the sale you can actually get both the Matthew kit and the Luke kit for the price of just 1 of the kits - so it's like buying Matthew at full price and getting Luke for free (or vice versa))...well, almost...to buy both on sale is $6.25...the regular price of Luke is $6.50 and Matthew is $6.00. You get the idea, though!

Layouts...at Last!

My design friends all know that I hardly ever have time to actually create layouts of my own because I spend so much time designing...but I thought I would pull out a few of my favorites to show you. So, these are my proof that I do sometimes get a chance to scrap.

This was for a challenge listing 10 things...I thought I would share some odd stuff about myself.

Kit is Ophelia by RoseMadeDesigns

Fonts are Arial and Mom's Typewriter

Stitching Action by Atomic Cupcake

Here is the rosebud playing the grass, just having a great time pulling it out and looking at it.

Kit used is Backyard Explorer by RoseMadeDesigns

These are the big cats at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo. It was sooooo hot. I felt awful for them, but they still made gorgeous photos for this layout.

Kit used is Matthew by Rose MadeDesigns (on sale Saturday at DigibyDesign)

Template by Michelle Swadling - Font is CK Good Dog (lol)

Stitching Action by Atomic Cupcake - Felt Action by Tandika Star

I hope to have more soon. I made some nice quick pages today that I hope to scrap with, and I have tons of challenges I want to do myself - including the 3 I run...LOL.

Have a great day!

Freebie...Sale News...Club Deco Garden Party

I just wanted to remind everyone that my kit retirement sale is still on at Deco-Pages until June 30th! I have over 40 items like this kit - Spring Blossom - on sale for up to 50% off! After June 30th, you will not find these kits for any price.

You can find Spring Blossom here at Deco-Pages.com:

http://www.deco-pages.com/product.php?productid=16398&cat=0&page=2

Don't forget to snag the matching quick pages and addon kit, too (they are also going to be retired!).

I made a matching freebie for you today. It has 6 background papers, 2 flowers, 1 bow, 1 frame and 1 glitter flower border. All these pieces coordinate with the Spring Blossom kit, so you can use them all together.

You also have just a few more days to join Club Deco and get this wonderful MEGA kit created by the Deco-Pages Design Team. This preview shows just a very small part of the kit you will get for free with your membership this month. This month's kit is 1.4 GB....yes, that is GIGAbytes!!!! Every month the designers create such wonderful goodies for the Club Deco members. And, this is not all you get.

You also get exclusive FREEBIES, FREE monthly color challenge kits and 10% off your Deco-Pages store purchases!!! It's a great deal for just $36.00 a year or 3 months for just $15.00! Can you get just a MEGA kit anywhere for $3.00????? And, if that was all you got, that would still be a steal! And, I am just one of over a dozen designers contributing to this month's kit. On July 1st, all of the designers will be selling their Garden Party kits individually - but getting them all could cost over $40...an annual membership is less than that!

Here is my contribution to this month's kit: 5 backgrounds, 4 flowers, 3 lace ribbons, 3 lace bows and 3 big brads AND 2 quick pages - could you even get just this much for $3.00??? I don't think so!
