Stretching your Stash & a Thursday Freebie

What do you do to stretch your stash? I know I like to see a kit in a new way and get more mileage out of it.  

As I was working on organizing my photos, I found this one of my kids making their Gingerbread houses last year. Then I started to look for a Christmas themed kit- well, I just don't have that many and none of them were fitting my mood. 

Then I saw Sweet American Pie! It's red and green, and not really traditional- which fit my mood at the time perfectly.

So maybe every piece of the kit won't work for a holiday layout, but mush of it does work.

Check it out and pick it up:

@ Scrapbook Bytes

@ Gotta Pixel

 I also turned my page into a QP for you, it doesn't have to be for a christmas layout, just add your own title and journaling!

What do you do to stretch your stash? I'd love to hear your tips- I'm always looking for a new technique.

Cleaning up means a Freebie for you!

I was cleaning out my hard drive, and found a page that I had meant to share with you all a long time ago- The kit used is not in the store, so swing on over and see what deals and steals are available.

~Link Expired~ 


Did you know you can also snag a fan blinkie at the top of the page in the store? Now you do so even if you're not able to shop right now- you can pick up a cool blinkie! 

Have a great week- and a fun weekend!

Nothing but (a) Sweet (quickpage)

Summer should be here soon, and Mel has so many kits to scrap those photos. 

Here is Nothing But Sweet, I was scrapping with some ladies from my church this weekend and together we whipped up this little QP for you. I also have it saved as a stacked paper, without the hole for the photo, if you'd like that, just drop me a line and I'll get it to you. (This is for those of you that would prefer to scrap in Picasa, it doesn't support the transparency of PNG files.)

We had fun putting this together, and then I just had to use one of my girls for the photo, because the colors match their suits! 

Here is the QuickPage:

Looking forward to summer-

Spring Fever-New Release by Duo-licious

Spring Fever was released at Scrapbook Bytes this week, and I had the chance to play and make a fun page.

At Scrapbook Bytes

My kids were outside a couple of weeks ago, taking advantage of a break in the weather, and this kit was perfect to capture that outing.

I thought you might like this page as a quick page. I also made it as a single photo page, with a spot for journaling.

1 Photo or 2 Photos

Don't forget to pick up the generous freebie!

My newest Favorite kit- freebie inside!

Mel has been hard at work lately and has created so many wonderful kits. My newest favorite is Awakening,  I love the mix of pinks, purples, blues and greens. You can pick up Awakening in one of Mel's stores.

One reason I love working with Mel's kits, is she always includes lots of elements and clustering is fun with the variety and quality of the elements that are included.

A Winter Frost Freebie

Were you lucky enought to pick up this beautiful mini at Gotta Pixel last week?

Mel was the featured designer for the week and you could pick this up as part of the daily download.

I love the sparkle and I am a sucker for frames, I have bought so many kits recently just because they had a cool frame.

Be on the look out for this in Mel's store, you'll want to snag it if you don't already have it!

If your really want to pick it up, you can still get it if you get a Pixel Club Membership

I made you a QP, have a great weekend!

Something Sweet for You- A QP

Today I used three different A+ Designs products to create my layout.

First I picked a template from Mel's Templistic Falling Pack

I picked out papers and elements from 

and

so here is my page. I wanted to try the technique I've seen where holes are punched to reveal another background paper so i modified the layout accordingly.

Then I made it into a Quick Page for you!

It includes 15 gorgeous papers, 1 small bead alpha sheet, 7 flowers, 1 cluster frame, 1 flower swirl , 1 butterfly and swirl , 3 ribbons , 5 rickracs , 2 paint splats, 1 staple, 3 swirls , 1 sparkles, 1 plain frame, 1 feather, 11 bonus wordarts created by Mel's creative team members, and 1 leaf cluster.
