It's Monday....and I've got a FREEBIE!

Happy Monday...and day after Valentine's Day! This is JenD here to bring you a Happy Monday Freebie. Why? Because we LOVE you!! And we show the love even after Valentines Day here at Sarah Bennett's CT blog!

Have you all seen the awesome new collab kit that Sarah partnered up with Stacy's Backdoor Designs and Lil' Digi Bits by Jude a few weeks ago called Storytime:


I used this kit to make a fun little quick page for all of you to enjoy. I wanted to make something that you could use for any of your sweet pics!

Hope all of you have an awesome week and I hope you enjoy the quickpage!!

CT Call and a SALE!

Hi all!  It's Kat here!  I have some great news and more great news!  Sarah will be a permanent designer over  at Scrap Matters so we are going to need a little extra help.  Below is our CT Ad, created using Sarah's part of her collab kit, Story time.  Be sure you get your applications in early!

Can there be more?  Why yes, actually!  Funky Playground Designs has been Sarah's design home until recently and sadly, they are closing their doors.  It's good news for you!  Sarah is retiring most of the items in her FPD store AND you can only get them until Feb. 28th.  They are even 40% off!  You can't miss that deal!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know, I'm a few days early. But if you haven't thought about it yet, this post might be perfect for you. I've never been really good at sending out cards or giving people greetings for various holidays, but I've come to realize that some people live and thrive on celebrating EVERY holiday. So maybe you are like me and now you're thinking, great I didn't send any Valentine's Day cards to grandma and grandpa from their most darlingest beautiful grandchildren. Grandparents can NEVER get enough pictures of their grandchildren (in my experience anyway), so I went ahead and made a Valentine's Day Card for you to just pop in your child's photo. And then you can print and send or even just email the image. It is made using Sarah's gorgeous Love You Always kit.

Hybrid Word Box with Storytime

Hi everyone, Jude here to show you a little hybrid project I've been working on. My daughter is just learning to read and has a list of words from school. She was quite taken with the idea of a special box to keep word cards in and I immediately thought of the perfect kit to use to make it!

Storytime is a collab that I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah and Stacy on and the rich, bright colours were exactly what I needed for this project :

Kit : Storytime by Designs by Sarah Bennett, Lil' Digi Bits by Jude and Stacy's Back Door Designs
Alpha : Neutral Alpha by Lil' Digi Bits by Jude (painstakingly cut out by me!)
Hybrid Template : 6 x 4 Recipe Box Template by Mari Koegelenberg

And if that's enough to inspire you to try hybrid (and believe me, if I can do it - anyone can!), ScrapMatters is running a Hybrid Boot Camp which starts today! I'm hopefully going to be playing along as I'm kinda making it up right now and hints and tips would be great!

Better Late Than Never!

Oh, my goodness! I am such a slacker, I was supposed to be here on Friday to give you the scoop on Sarah goodness...and I totally flaked! Ever had one of those weeks where everything went not-quite-right? That's been mine! Oh, well...moving on...

The other reason I cannot believe I didn't post is because Sarah has an amazing new kit out this week! It's a collab with a couple of her wonderful CT girls, Jude and Stacy, who also happen to be wonderful designers in their own right (Lil' Digi Bits by Jude and Stacy's Back Door Designs). And oh, my goodness, this kit is too cute! Storytime is a fantastic kit, and I am already trying to plan out ways to use it in March, for Reading Month!

Want to see it? Here it is (image is linked)!



AND Sarah is giving away an awesome bonus alpha on her own blog (and there are links to freebie add-ons at Jude and Stacy's blogs there too!)!!!! Go pick them all up now!

Gallery Standouts!

I love looking through the galleries and seeing the wonderful layouts people make with Sarah's kits. It's amazing how different all the layouts are and how many ways her kits can be used! They truly are SO very versatile!

Here are two layouts that really got my attention. The first one is called "Boys & Toys = Joy" by TrishB. I love the photo, the white space, and especially how the elements were placed around the adorable boy and his toy. Awesome! (Image is linkied to the layout so you can leave TrishB some love.)

TrishB used the fabulous kit called "Everyday Special":

The second layout that stood out to me is called "Dad" by kimbytx. I just adore the series of photos and how the elements are clustered. Perfection! (Again, the image is linked to kimbytx's gallery.)

Kimbytx used Sarah's gorgeous kit called "Love You Always":

We LOVE to see the fantastic layouts that you use with Sarah's kits, so don't be shy! Post them in the galleries! You never know . . . maybe you'll see one of your layouts spotlighted here, too!

Happy Scrapping,

Annisa
