New kit from Designs by Snowlady

Good morning all! A quick post to let you know that Designs by Snowlady has a new kit out. Flock of Flamingos was the STS anniversary freebie this past Sunday, but if you didn't get it then, you can still get it at the STS store . And it's only $1.50 for the rest of the month (that's 50% off!)!! So here is the preview:

The kit's theme is based on a (typically southern) tradition of "flocking" someone's yard (with plastic pink flamingos) for their birthday or some other event. But as you can see from my LO below, the kit is perfect to scrap girly moments, too:

It's a super fun kit. So head over to STS and grab it before it goes back to regular price and get scrappin'!

$2 Tuesday at STS

Busy day, so I'd better get this up now or you won't be reading about $2 Tuesday until Wednesday. LOL

Designs by Snowlady has two fun kits in the $2 bin this week. First up is the awesome "Shine". I LOVE the colors in this kit and it has amazing versatility:

See what I mean...fabulous! She also has a super-fun racing-inspired kit called "Start Your Engines". This is a HUGE weekend if you're a race fan...the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 are both being run this weekend! This would be a great kit to scrap any pictures if you're going to either of the races (and if you are, I am TOTALLY jealous!!!). It's also great for Pinewood Derby, local races, or just crazy little boys and girls racing their Hot Wheels (yes, I have one of those boys). So here it is:



 Well I'm off to start my day, but don't forget you can get these goodies for $2 today only in the STS $2 bin!

New release x 2!!!

So I told you earlier this week that you would not want to miss coming back today to see what Scrappy Cocoa has released this week. Well, Steph has outdone herself with not one, but TWO cool new releases. First off is a collab she did with fellow Gingerbread Ladies Pixels by Jen and Wyld Web Designs called Music Class. It's great for anything music related...concerts, band and choir classes, and I've even seen some American Idol layouts out there! LOL So here is Music Class:

You can find it at the Gingerscraps store . I love all the different instruments and note elements and the papers are so fun!!! So here is my pseudo-layout:



And yes, it's lacking a photo. LOL My oldest won't start band until the Fall, but I loved this kit so much I wanted to play with it right away. And he's going to play sax too, so the sax sticker is AWESOME!!! Go grab it and start playing!

Now the next thing I have to show you is one of the coolest things I've seen in scrapping recently. I'm a relative newbie, but have dabbled in scrapping for awhile. I use PSE9 and am still learning all of it's tricks. I guess one of the things you AREN'T able to do with it is create text on a path. Well, Stephanie has fixed that for all of us PSE9 users (and for anyone else who wants the EASIEST, most FUN way to play with text paths). They're so cool, I can't really even think of anything else to say, so I'll just show you. Introducing....TEXTYS!!!!

How cool are they!?!?!? They are so fun to play with, too. The possibilities for using them are almost endless. You can use any font/color, decide what you want to say, and away you go! You could repeat a name that starts with one of the letters, you could find a list of words to describe someone/something, I wrote little "stories" to each of my boys using the first letter of their names:

Easy, fun, awesome...what more could you ask for?! So head over to Gingerscraps or The Studio . And for a limited time they're 25% off!! Get 'em now!!! Oh, and if you HURRY over to Steph's blog , you'll not only find some more LOs using Texty's and Music Class, but there is a limited-time only freebie of Texty shapes!!!

They'll go into the store soon, so grab it now. With all this awesomeness, I KNOW you'll have a busy scrapping weekend!!!

Fun new travel kit

Summer vacations are coming up and scrapteam 2008 has a new kit out just in time for all the photos you're going to take! It's loaded with fun elements, word art bits, etc. Check it out:

You can pick it up at the STS Store . So hurry over and get it so you can start scrapping!!!

Just wait!!!

Wait til' you see what Scrappy Cocoa is releasing on Friday. You will NOT, I repeat, no way, no how, want to miss it!!! So be sure to swing back by Friday!

$2 Tuesday at STS

That's right, they flock together! And everyone needs to flock to Gingerscraps or The Studio to pick up the newest release from Scrappy Cocoa! It's called (funny enough) Birds of a Feather. It's a super fun kit with lots of great colors and elements (LOVE the little button bits!). It has a family theme, but it can be used for other layouts such as spring pictures and I have a layout-in-progress of my oldest and some of his buddies being goofy together. They are definitely birds of a feather! LOL Without further delay, here is the preview:

Stephanie also has a word art pack FREE ON HER BLOG :
