Bear Hugs

I’ve been super bad at posting lately!! I hadn’t realized until today that it has been almost a month since I last shared anything with you. OOPS! I was working really hard on two new kits and they just ate up all of my computer time! I’ll try to be better at updating and posting those sneak peeks this next month.

I have one new kit to share with you today that I’m super excited about! I decided to step outside my comfort zone and work with a different type of color scheme than I would normally choose. I’m really a bright multi-color loving type of girl, but it was a fun experience for me to work with so many neutral greys and my current favorite color, red.

My new kit is called Bear Hugs.  It is a lovey-bear themed kit that I think is perfect for scrapping your love, Valentine's Day and teddy bear photos! Bear Hugs includes 18 textured papers, uppercase alpha, over 43 unique elements and 25 word arts. As a bonus when you pick up the Bear Hugs kit, you will receive five pre-shadowed cluster borders, free with your purchase! Bear Hugs is 20% off Thursday and Friday during Happy Hour. For an additional 15% off, use coupon code:

I recently switched to Timeline on Facebook. I like the larger images and the ability to add cute cover pages. My sweet friend and creative team member Heather, Mom2TwoAngels, created a Facebook Timeline cover quick page using Bear Hugs. If you use Facebook, you can grab the Timeline Cover QP for free HERE on my Facebook Page. Just click the "exclusive" tab on the left to download. It's sized perfectly to fit onto your cover. So all you have to do is add your photos and upload. It's so quick and easy!


This week as I was working, I listened to The Digi Show, Episode 26, with guest Becky Higgins, where they discussed her Project Life series. It reminded me a lot of when I first started digital scrapping, and I was creating photo journals. After looking into the Project Life items a little, I feel so inspired by Becky's memory keeping philosophy! I decided that this year I will create new photo journal albums for each of my children. Since my albums use 4x6 inserts, I created some 4x6 journaling note cards to coordinate with the Bear Hugs kit. These cards are super versatile, so they could really be used with any project. You can pick up the Bear Hugs Journaling Note Cards for FREE in my store at A5D through February 14th. Make sure to pick them up by Valentine’s Day because after that, they will still be available in my shoppe, but they will no longer be free.

Happy scrapping and Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Little Builder is a huge toy themed kit. Scrap all of your photos of your little ones playing with interlocking construction blocks and other building toys.   Little Builder includes 20 textured papers, uppercase alpha, 16 word-strip labels and over 65 unique elements.
