Special sale through Sunday

In honor of my kit, Spice, being featured in the Terza Ispirazione section of the SOTB newsletter, the kit itself will be on sale for 50% starting tomorrow and running through Sunday. This kit is one of my favorites. The colors are warm and inviting and the textures are cozy. I really love the alpha. It looks embedded into whatever it sits on top of.

Check it out! Just $2.50 through Sunday, July 2nd.

Two for the price of one

Remember that this Thursday (6/29/2006), my ballet sets in the ongoing Dance Collection will be two for the price of one. Each one will be on sale for 50% off (that's just $1.75 each!). Here's a taste of what each kit has to offer:

Prima Ballerina


Nouveau Ballerina

Patriotic freebie

Nothing too fancy, but good basics for those July 4th layouts. Available for one week only...

Contents: Two 12X12 papers, two ribbons, and two star brads

Debuting now: Prima Ballerina

The second in my dance series, Prima Ballerina is in the store now. Price is $3.50 for the full set.



The kit has 5 papers, 2 ribbons, 2 embellished clips, a ballerina on pointe silhouette in 2 sizes, and 4 pieces of word art (Pirouette, Arabesque, Jete and Pointe).

On Thursday, June 29, you can get both kits in my Dance Collection Nouveau Ballerina for the price of one. Each kit will be on sale for 50% off as part of SOTB's FAB50 sale.

And, the Dance Collection is not finished! I have at least three more kits in mind for this series, so stay tuned.

I love to see my kits in action

I get such a thrill when I see layouts using my kits. The following layouts were done using my Spice kit for the SOTB newsletter feature Terza Ispirazione. In this, three designers use one kit and one set of pictures and do layouts. It's always interesting to see how different the layouts come out. Here are the three layouts (click the images to see them in the SOTB gallery):

If you use any of my kits or freebies, put them in a gallery and send me a link (terri24601 at gmail.com)! I'd love to see them...and share them here in the blog.

Dance: Nouveau Ballerina opening night tonight

Amazing! I did get the kit finished. The first in my dance series, Nouveau Ballerina is in the store now. Price is $3.50 for the full set.


HINT: This will be on sale for 50% off on Thursday, June 22...part of SOTB's weekly FAB50.

The kit has 6 papers, 2 ribbons, 2 metallic fasteners (a brad and a staple), 2 sets of glassy musical notes, a pretty ballerina silhouette in 2 sizes, and 4 pieces of word art (tiny Dancer, little Ballerina, Ballet dancer and ballet Recital).

Sneak peek: Nouveau Ballerina

This is just a sneak peak at the kit I'm working on. As you can see, I went ahead with the ballet idea. This is the kit aimed at little girls.

I'm not sure when I'll finish up, but probably not soon enough to get it in the store this week. However, I expect the coming week's freebie to be from the work I've done on this kit. I had some pretty yellow papers but decided they weren't working with the kit, so expect some yellow freebies soon!

Do you like this?

Does this appeal to anyone who is reading? These are all rough drafts of 12X12 papers. My idea is to do two ballet kits: one for little girls and one for older girls. This one would be for the older girls since the shoes are toe shoes.

Just wondering if this would be of interest to anyone for scrapping that they have to do. If you look around galleries at digi scrap stores, you see a lot of scraps of little kids, but I know that I won't stop scrapping when my kids get older, so I would think that there would be a need for kits like this one for older children.

Let me know in the comments!
