New Products from Mari!

| cristina

Well, it looks like I have disappeared for a while, huh? 😉 I was in Washington last week, for 5 days, and then when I came back this week was just crazy – I’ve had business dinners 3 days in a row! I enjoyed it, but DH.. not so much.. I hope it’s over now! 😉
Unfortunately, this also means I’ve had no scrapping time, and this is a bummer, because Mari Koegelenberg has come out with some adorable products, and my hands are itching to scrap!! Hopefully, tonight..! 😉
First off, look at this sweet kit (was in the Digi Files at the Daily Digi last month):

There’s also a set of lovely printables (check out the preview in the store- these are so cute!!):

And then there’s 2 great alphas (and I’m such a sucker for alphas, I know I’ll be using these over and over!):

And the best news is that all these products are 20% off today and tomorrow! Go grab them quick!

So Excited!!

I am so excited that Tangie Baxter is guesting at ScrapMatters this month!!! 😉
And for her first week, she came out with a myriad of incredible products!! They are almost all grouped in this great bundle:

Here’s what I did with it:

Happy Friday! 😉

New Month..

| cristina

A new month has started, and this means there’s a new Sweet & Simple kit by Gina Marie Huff at the Weeds & Wildflowers store!

I squeezed in some time in this crazy week (I handed in my take home midterm today, one day early, because I was so done with it!) and did two pages with this fabulous kit.

I looooove how this one turned out!!
Then I finally finished scrapping the pictures of these adorable dogs! 🙂

I can’t wait to use this kit for my P365 pages. Yeah, I know.. I’m a bit behind, but I’ll catch up eventually! I actually have a couple of weeks done already that I haven’t posted yet. 🙂

I’m Still Speechless!

| cristina

When I saw the gorgeous, amazing, huge collab that Britt-ish Designs and Sahlin Studio put together, I was absolutely speechless! And I’m still speechless, because there is so much gorgeousness in this collab, that I feel like I could scrap a whole album with it, and not be tired! 🙂
Let me show you what I’m talking about. First, there’s this kit:

84ee00b1b07f6ca26d28250f2f82f0ad[1]

Which is completely stunning by itself. But it’s not all! There is a series of add-ons, for many different countries! Here’s the bundle (they are available for sale separately, but the bundle is more convenient):

There’s also a mega bundle that saves you the most $$$:

So far I only played with the kit, but let me tell you… it’s fabulous! 😉 Here’s my page:

A few weeks ago I fortuitously realized it was something like 980 days since our wedding day, so I told DH, we saved the date, and last week we celebrated our 1000th day since our wedding. 😉 We like to celebrate fun things like that! 🙂 Plus, it’s really a special number, if you think about it! 😉

We had a lot of snow these past couple of days, and let me tell you, it’s really gorgeous!!

I Know..

| cristina

I know, I’ve been unusually silent these past few days. Well, the fact is, I’ve been busy with a ton of administrative work (we had a CT call at ScrapMatters, plus I’ve been working on some banners), and haven’t had much time to create (well, I did work on a very cute project this weekend, but since it’s for March’s newletter, I can’t show it yet..).
But, I do have a few things to show you nonetheless. 🙂 Here’s the project I made for the February newsletter at ScrapMatters. If you aren’t signed up yet, you really should, because apart from my tutorials, which you understandably may not be interested in ;), there’s a lot of inspiring articles, and a free kit every month!
This project is for St. Patrick’s Day (as if you couldn’t tell.. ha!) and was made using the free kit that came with the newsletter.

Next, a couple of pages with Friday’s new releases at ScrapMatters. I absolutely LOVE anything that Jennifer Barrette designs.. and this gorgeous kit is no exception!

An adorable kit.. for adorable puppies!

Next, take a look at these stitches by Chelle’s Creations:

These have endless possibilities! The stitches and the holes come on different layers, so it’s really easy to shadow them properly! I love these stitches!!

That’s it for now, but I scrapped tonight, so I will have something to show you on Friday! 😉

Well, Well.. It’s Friday!

| cristina

It’s Friday (well.. in a couple of hours.. ;)), and apart from meaning that the week is finally almost over (yeah!!), it means there’s double releases by Amy Sumrall, one at Tthe LilyPad (her digi-home) and one at ScrapOrchard (where she’s guesting this month)! This means double goodies for you (and for me!!)! 🙂
First, let me show you this amazing collab with Designs by Lili and Emily Merritt:

I have to tell you: I am not in the mood for spring right now, since everything is white outside my window, but this kit really inspired me! And, it’s 20% off all weekend!
I went crazy for the pink, and here’s my fun page:

So Much Sweetness!

| cristina

Mari Koegelenberg has a new, adorable, super-sweet kit out today! It’s 20% off today and tomorrow.

Look at those adorable glittery stamps!! They’re so yummy!
This kit was just perfect to scrap a couple of pages with pictures from this past Valentine’s Day! 🙂 I did a page with DH’s gift:

(he actually loved my Valentine coupons!!) and a matching page with my gift:

I really cannot understand my husband. He’s always complaining I spend too much time crafting, and then he gave me a laminating machine for Valentine’s Day! Does this make any sense at all??? 🙂
Then, when I was scrapping this page I asked him if it looked like a heart to him.. Of course, he wasn’t helpful at all – he said it looked like a heart if you have a lot of imagination… :-/ Yeah, right! What was I thinking when I asked for his opinion? Well, it certainly looks a heart to me and I had lots of fun making this page! 🙂

$2 Tuesday!

| cristina

Yep, it’s Tuesday and this means there are some great $2 deals in Mari Koegelenberg’s store! Has Tuesday become your favorite day of the week yet? 😉
Go check out here what’s for sale today.

Many of the products for sale today were in Mari’s November grab bag, so if you missed the grab bag, this is a great chance to get them now! Here’s a LO I did showcasing a few of those products:

OK, you know the drill: Amy Sumrall is guesting at ScrapOrchard this month, so in addition to her regular products at the LilyPad, she’s working on some exclusive kits for ScrapOrchard.. But this week she completely outdid herself! I seriously cannot pick the favorite out of the three new products she has out today!
First, let me show you, this amazing collab with mle Card:

Here’s a fun page I made with it:
