Two Huge Collaborations!

I have to say that I've been feeling quite lucky lately. I had an opportunity to work with two wonderfully talented designers, JenU Designs and Microferk Designs.

They have an amazing collection of products that I've oohed and ahhed over for while now. JenU has gorgeous natural elements, yummy flowers, totally cool kits, and of course I am a die hard fan of her Quick Pages. Miki has amazing vibrant kits bursting with color, unique hand-crafted elements. Ah, I love flowers, I love color, I am just in love.

I am so proud to present you two new collaborations available exclusively at Scrapbook Graphics for a limited time!

They are 25% off through the weekend plus take an extra 10% with coupon code "MyFriends". I know there was an issue with the coupon on DSD but I triple checked it and some this time!



So you want to see the kits right?

I teamed up with the wonderfully talented JenU Designs to bring you this fabulously gorgeous winter kit, "Knocking on Winter's Door", yup door and windows are included.

This huge collaboration kit has 30 papers, over 120 elements, and 3 different alphas.

There is a bonus snowy overlay as well as a gorgeous quick page.

It is filled with unique and versatile elements and beautifully textured papers. This kit is jam packed with everything that you'll want to use over and over. It's a little bit sparkly with plenty of realistic winter elements and some earthy touches. Flowers, twigs, leaves, tons of snowflakes and other snowy pieces are just a few of the wonderful wintery things you will find inside. We've even included a warm cup of hot cocoa for you.







I've also teamed up with the talented Microferk Designs to bring you this wonderfully warm Holiday Collaboration.

The holiday season is packed to the brim with rich tradition and luscious treats and dazzling colors!
Imagine the spectacular Christmas tree, adorned with garland and dazzling ornaments..... or the fireplace with a gentle fire and stockings hung with great care and hopes.....the carefully wrapped, gifts- in jewel tone papers with crisp shiny ribbons and bows.....silver starlight..... a warm fire's golden glow..... the aroma of freshly baked cookies and fresh mint of canycanes.....Santa's sack- filled with all of the childhood hopes and dreams, and a glimpse of that velvety hat....a pine tree branch, or a sprig of mistletoe and holly.....all of these, and more, are YOURS in "Holiday Shimmer".

Based on a vibrant palette of garnet, cranberry, gold, turquoise, amethyst, indigo and cream- with a generous shimmer of the precious metals of gold and silver, you get a mega-kit that will soon become your staple, *go-to* Holiday kit!

Each element and alpha character is in its own file- no need to 'cut' apart. All elements and papers are created at 300ppi, with papers saved as high-resolution jpgs for stunning print clarity, and elements saved as png files to preserve transparency. Drop shadows are only applied in instances where layering of pieces within an element necessitate shadowing for realism.

You get an amazing 39 papers, 3 overlays and over 100 unqiue elements! You also get FOUR separate and unique alpha sets, and a BONUS Quick Page.







Did you say you wanted to see layouts? Of course! :)







Here is one close-up by Kristi. I'll post the other ones in the thumb later.



Some Holiday Shimmer layouts!










Word Art by Natali Designs



Yup, the mistletoe is part of the kit! Okay enough layouts for today. Come back for more because I have lots more layouts to share! :)

Layout

I just had to share this gorgeous layout I found on DST today. jonee was kind enough to let me post it here. Here is her gallery. I just love looking at layouts as anyone that visits my blog can easily tell. :)



Orchid Dreams Reawakening and Natali's Word Art.

Seriously, everyone should get all of Natali's word art. They are so amazing!

The DSD Freebie

Hi everyone. It has come to my attention that not everyone's email has been updated in the SBG system. I sent an email, wrote each one myself, during the DSD weekend. But there were some whom's email address was not updated, invalid, or for whatever reason not the same as the one they download from?

So...if you had purchased something during November 1st or 2nd, and did NOT get an separate email for whatever reason to receive the quick pages, please let me know.

The subject of the email should have been ScrapbookGraphics Order #XXXX Quick Pages.
If this is the case or if you had any issues with the coupon during the sale, send an email to ptonscraps@gmail.com. You can just include your registered email address and do not need to look up your orders as I have those.

Thanks so much!

Layouts!

Here is your daily dose of gorgeous layouts!

There is so much depth to this layout, and the shadowing work is just amazing.



Here's another beauty by sweet Magda. This lady is ultra talented, can't you tell? This was a quick page for those that shopped during DSD. Hope you're loving your quick pages. Thanks again, Magda!



Here is another one by Magda. This one is using the Impressions of Honor Collab at SBG this month. Oh, I will need to post info on that soon.



Well, I finaly inspired someone. LOL. This one was made by Lorraine, inspired by my DSD ad.

I saw this great tutorial posted in the SBG forum by the oh so talented Flergs. She is a real sweetie as well.

Digital Scrapbooking Day

DSD will be this Saturday November 1st. There are going to be amazing sales and lots of activities to do. I probably will not participate much in the shopping since I have spent so much time at work and working from home lately. My kids miss me, and I miss them. I'll probably check some out. I did a good amount of shopping today already though. LOTS of it so my pay pal is drained! :)

Of course I am going to partake in the wonderful sales part though.

Here's an extra 10% off coupon for my wonderful mailing list and blog visitors!
By the way, if you spend $25 at Scrapbook Graphics, you get the brand Studio Collective Impressions of Honor FREE!

Here is a Halloweeny one by scrappeehappee. Wow, it's almost here!! I love trick or treating. I loved going as a child but I love it even more now. Tagging along with my kids and seeing the joy they get, the thrill of going up to a strange house, especially those spooky decorated ones, well, it's just like your childhood again. Except now I can stay up as late as I want and eat as much candy as I like! YUM! hehe

More Layouts

The layouts are rolling in and I just want to keep you updated on them. It's the weekend (almost)! YAY!

My husband and I just celebrated our 10 year "dating" Anniversary this week. There was a time, way back when, remember girls? When we were asked to set a date for that's our dating date and like you celebrated 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and whatever other excuse you could to get some flowers? Okay, so I'm a flower hog. I wanted something for the 10 year dating anniversary. Is that so wrong? ;) I didn't want any presents right now but maybe to say Happy Anniversary (or just remember). I've dropped big fat hints for weeks. So I came home yesterday and found a beautiful vase of flowers. But flowers are nice and all, but this one was better (for me at least) because it kinda matches Orchid Dreams!! It has orchids and the lily like in the kit. I was so pleasantly surprised since I showed him the kits the other night. Well, quite frankly, he probably just got lucky since he knows I like those types of flowers anyways, but I won't ask and give him the benefit of the doubt. Okay, that's my lame post for the day. LOL.

OH yeah, layouts!

Here's a gorgeous one by the talented m2m. You should go check her amazing gallery!

Here's a beauty by Kristi. As usual, her photography is amazing. Someone tell her that! She doesn't seem to believe me. :)
I like the darker papers on this. It puts focus on the picture. What a beautiful set of girls, don't you think! They are so adorable!

staple from Spooky

Here's a very serene one from Kristi. I wish I was there right now. Gorgeous photo, gorgeous layout. She used the swirl from Spooky as a clipping mask for one of the papers in Orchid Dreams Reawakening. I also love her shadow work.

This is a layout by Carinspixels. I love how she used the frame as a window/doorway to another world. The waterfalls paper is part of Orchid Dreams The Beginning.

This is a soft layout by Ina, the first layout I got to see with the kit. She modified the color of the orchid stem. I love the photo treatment and the softness of this layout.

Here is a lovely layout by snaggletooth75. Great clustering of elements. She chose browns as the background. I like how there are so many flowers on this page yet it's not feminine (it's a boys' layout afterall).

Lilja never fails to amaze me with her talent. Here is another gorgeous layout by this talented lady.
