I’m so glad I got to participate in Elemental Scraps Color Play just once! If you haven’t heard about it: designers create small packs of stuff, all available for just $1, using the same swatch. So this is your chance to build your own kit, by picking papers, elements, alpha, date elements, templates and other fun stuff!!

Here’s what I have:

I think this needs a little explaining: I have been decluttering my life. It started with getting rid of ’stuff’ out of the bookshelves. I mean, they are meant to be for books, right? Now they look like bookshelves again, and that felt soooo great. I just threw a lot of things away, things I always kept, cause I thought I ‘might need it once’. Well, if I thought that 2 years ago, and didn’t ‘need’ it in between, it has to GO! Than I took on the job of decluttering the attic. That isn’t done yet, but we really want to make a room out of it, so we’ll have to get rid of all the stuff that’s piled up there. Some things haven’t even seen daylight since I put them there when we moved in… 6 years ago! And by getting rid of all the stuff, saying to myself ‘do I really need that’, I found myself asking that about non-stuff too. Do I really need to work, while I can stay at home and play with the kids? Do I really need to ‘check my farmville farm’, while I could go out and play with the kids? I want to get rid of the unnecessary, hence this word-art pack! It comes with a solid paperpack too:

And a template pack to create your own wavy pages! Again, available for just $1 peeps, check out the rest of the goodies too! (images are linked)

Here’s a layout created with my goodies:

There will be a LOT of info in this post! You’ll find new kits, sale info, a CT call AND a freebie, so hang on!! It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

First things first: the designers of Pretty Scrappy and Scrapable got together and created a fun blogtrain called Loads of Learning. If you hear me out, you’ll know where to pick up your freebie!
Designs by Angel and I got together and created this kit called In a Boys Pocket. The other designers that participated used the same swatch for the freebies and the (collab) kits, so feel free to Mix ‘n Match!!

Click on the image (or here) to go to my store, and you’ll find a link to the freebie below!! Happy scrapping!!

*sorry, no longer available!* Want to find the other freebies too? Check out the Loads of Learning blog!

Collab #2 is SOOO big, I’m only going to show you {the set} for now. It contains 11 products (seriously!!) and it’s a collab between Janine of Foxy Designs and myself. If you’re pregnant, need to scrap those pregnancy pictures, want to scrap a pregnancy book for a friend, then you’ll NEED this!! If you buy the whole set, you’ll receive 5 paperpacks, 4 alphas, 1 date element pack, 1 set of flairs and 3 element packs, but again: you can Mix ‘n Match too!! I’m coming back later to show you all the different parts of this set, I promise!

And how about this? I already have great girls on my team, but with a new store and all these collabs and new products, I can use some new additions! If you would like a spot on my team, please e-mail me your gallery link and a small bio to biebels [at] gmail [dot] com, and I’ll get back to you!!

Last but not least: here’s what I marked down to $1 for WEDNESDAY ONLY!! at Scrapable.

This product (or should I say productS) has been sitting on my EHD for weeks, waiting for the finishing touch. It’s after midnight in my time-zone, but I finally managed to get everything in Zen at both stores, and uploaded properly, so it’s time to share with you!!

This full kit is created with all the colors of the rainbow, and it’s perfect for you Project365 layouts!
available at DigitalPaperHearts - GroovyScraps

You could also buy just the papers, they will match with anything! The papers are all solid, with 7 colors, but they all have different textures.

CU styles with all colors of the rainbow (and black) and polka dots!
