Digital Scrapbook Kits

2010-12-29T12:48:00.001-07:00

Wow! I can almost breath again now that the holiday season is almost over. Last night, after the kids were in bed, I finished taking down all the Christmas decorations. My daughter woke up this morning and said the house looked horrible. I just thought it looked a little bare, but horrible...ouch. So I'll be spending this holiday weekend creating some new decor for my bare living room. I might even post some pictures of my new creations....we'll see how they turn out first...lol.

Well, I haven't been designing to much the last couple months but I did release a new kit a few weeks ago called Christmas Joy:

And tomorrow, Dec 30, I will be releasing "Butterfly Kisses"

Check out my facebook page for a chance to win it!!!

I'm hoping to get a chance this week to also work on some new Project 365 kits too, so wish me luck!

Christmas - Digital Scrapbooking Kits

2010-11-02T10:23:00.002-06:00

Are you ready to start thinking about Christmas? I've released a few new kits the past couple weeks to help get you in the mood!
First up is my Christmas Magic kit. This kit is perfect for anything Christmas or winter, and has enough neutral colored papers & elements to match any photo!

Here are a few layouts from My Creative Team:

Using this kit, I put together an entire album, complete with covers! I've made a book with all of my favorite Christmas pictures from the last several years, I know my kids will love to pull it out every year and remember all of our fun Christmas moments. You could also use it for a december daily album, or as a gift for a friend or family member. I hope you enjoy it:

Here is a sample page from the album:

Next up is a greeting card, which I've also used to create a quick and easy layout:

And last, but not least, is a set of four templates. These come in layered psd format. You can use these for any layouts, not just Christmas.

And here are a few examples from my Creative Team:

Wow! That was long, but I hope you've been inspired! And of course you can find all of these kits in my shop at Design House Digital or by clicking on the kit preview above!

New kit & some inspiration

2010-10-14T06:03:00.004-06:00

The time has come...my newest kit, everlasting, is now available at Design House Digital, and today it's only $5.59!! I had so much fun creating this kit. I absolutely love the colors and patterns in this kit. I had a few CT members even say they wished it was available in fabric for their bedding. That got me thinking that I may just have to create some wall decor for my own bedroom with this kit!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! tfl!

My creative team has had a chance to play with it and just let me tell you...I am blown away by all the gorgeous layouts they've created with it. Wanna see? Here they are....

Layered Templates / Quickpages

2010-09-13T09:19:00.001-06:00

Last week I released some great new templates at Design House Digital. Now I just want to show you the possibilities with these. They are so fun!
Each template includes a .png quickpage for use with any program. All you have to do is plop your photos in it and it's done! It's so great, especially if you are trying to get caught up.
But, if you have a little more time, each template also includes a layered .psd file for photoshop and photoshop elements. This allows you to do just about anything with it. It includes the papers and elements shown (just like the quickpage), but you can change it up however you want, just like a normal template! And it's so easy to create a coordinating 2nd page just by re-using some of the same elements and/or papers.
I have included some examples of how my creative team has used these templates.
This is the original template:

This is what my CT came up with: (layouts by Jen P, Jennifer V, and Kym)

Here's another template:

Used as a quickpage: (by Ulla-May)

Used as a template: (by Katie)

I plan to create many more of these so I hope you'll give them I try. I'm sure you're gonna love them! :)

Free digital scrapbooking kit!

2010-06-14T08:49:00.000-06:00

Today is Flag Day, so I thought it was fitting to post my new all-american mini kit today. Our neighborhood scout troop puts up flags all over the neighborhood on several holidays throughout the year, and today is one of them. I love seeing all the American flags lining the streets. It just makes me happy!

I also love the 4th of July; the parades, flags, KFC picnics, snowcones, crafts, demolition derbys, fireworks, our freedom, ...everything! I had so much fun making this kit and hope you enjoy it!

I can't believe it's the end of may. My brother got married last weekend, so we went up to Salt Lake. When we woke up in Nephi monday morning there was eight inches of snow on the ground! Crazy! I'm happy to be home in my nice warm town. In fact, our pool just opened today so it's officially feeling like summer!
Anyway,
Here's this weeks freebie:

Another week has past already. I'm so excited for summer. I really enjoy having my kids home during the summertime. Unfortunately I still have to get up early because my little boy hasn't figured out the joy of sleeping in yet, but at least I won't have to rush trying to gets my girls out the door to school on time. I'm so ready for a more relaxed lifestyle for awhile.

Anyway, here is this weeks freebie paper kit!

Any requests?

2010-05-14T11:21:00.000-06:00

Does anyone have any requests for my next free kit? So far I've been switching off between basic boy and girl kits, but I'd love to mix things up a little. I have lots of ideas, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has a need for anything specific. If you have a specific theme, colors, patterns, whatever, leave me a comment and I'll see what I can do!
