CT Showcase: School Daze Kits - Graduation Paper People

My CT, Carolyn, has a reason to celebrate!  Her son just graduated from college as VALEDICTORIAN!!  (CONGRATULATIONS, EDWARD!!!)  Carolyn create some wonderful layouts using the following kits from my store:

 

 

What do you think?  

The great thing about the School Daze series is that the colors can be adapted to ANY grade level!  The Crayon Craze pack and Bus Stop Add-On work well for the primary grades, and as you've seen above, the others lend themselves well to the older age groups!

If you have some school layouts to finish, please stop by my store and snag up these great kits!

Celebrating FREEDOM today + a QP Freebie

I you have any access to the news today, you've heard that today is a GREAT DAY to be an American.  As Mark Twain said, "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."  In celebration, I've marked down my FREEDOM kit from $6.00 to just $2.00 for this week.

And of course, the FREEDOM QUICK PAGES are always FREE in my store:

Sorry - this is no longer a freebie.

Remember that I also have my Easter Tear Bear as a FREE-With-$5.00 purchase... this little guy is too cute to pass up!

Extending a huge THANK YOU to our soldiers and their families for the sacrifices they make every day so that I may enjoy America's freedoms,

CT Showcase: Frostee Kits & Birthday Balloons

We had one week of "spring" before Mother Nature decided to toss in a few more blustery days before the warm-up became permanent.   One of my CT members, Jemima, chose a couple of wintery kits, Frostee Fun and Frosty Days Snowy Edges to make these AWESOME layouts:

 

Aren't those wonderful?!  If spring hasn't yet arrived in your neck of the woods, keep taking those wintery pictures, and stop by my store for the great kits:



Carolyn chose the Birthday Balloons kits this month.   She helped a very nice lady from her church celebrate her 90th birthday!!

I find birthdays to be one of the hardest to scrap... because they just keep coming!!  And, it's hard to keep the layouts fresh and new!  If you feel the same way, check out these kits - they may be just what you need for your next birthday layout!

 

As always, I'd love to see your layouts so please email them or share them in the Gallery!

Happy Scrappin'!

DST Blog Train: NO PIRATES!

The problem with digital piracy has become huge and annoying. So many digital kits are swiped, stolen, "borrowed," etc. and then re-posted on other sites for download. This is wrong... and lame! Many of these kits start out as freebies anyway but usually for a limited time. And just because a kit was "free" for a while, doesn't mean it's okay to be free forever off a pirate site!

The many designers at Digi Shop Talk have been dealing with this for months. To help raise awareness, we've come together to create a pirate- themed "NO PIRATES!" kit! You can travel from blog to blog picking up various pieces and help spread the word that re-sharing a designer's kits is not okay. I SO appreciate all of the wonderful scrappers and crafters and designers who stop by this blog and use the kits I create. THANK YOU for your support!

I've made two parts - the ALPHA is my freebie offering for the entire month. The coordinating kit will be just $1.00 in my stores all month long. Enjoy the freebie, and I hope you'll stop by my store for the Dollar Deal - Oooo-ARGH!

Find this for just $1 at MagsGraphics .

The freebie before mine was jusme digital.

This is no longer a freebie, but it can be purchased at my store.

The next stop on your train is Pixiemama Designs, and if you get lost, visit the Blog Train blog for the complete list!

I'd love to hear your comments - thx for stopping by!

This could be the perfect shirt for you and your crew on your next scrapbooking weekend!

New Basketball Kit, Alpha, & Freebie!

At this time of year, I'm sure that ALL of the TVs in our house must be broken... because no matter which TV I turn on, the default channel is ESPN! March Madness has this entire household in it's mighty grip, and there's no relief until the last basket goes SWISH!!

To celebrate(?) the season, I've revamped an older mini kit I had created into a fabulous basketball-PACKED kit with 15 papers and 30 elements! VERY realistic! In fact, the kit was SO REALISTIC that a PAPER scrapbooker who stumbled upon my site ordered the kit! After two weeks of not receiving a physical package in the mail, she contacted me. We had a good laugh (after I refunded her money!) - that has to be the best compliment I could receive... that my kit looks so realistic a paper scrapbooker thought it was "real!" :)

I've also created a wonderful Basketball ALPHA:

It looks like 3D basketballs have been twisted into the letter, number, and punctuation shapes! LOTS of potential with this alpha to make some stunning wordart!

And speaking of WORD ART, I have 3 titles that I created as your freebie:

FREE DOWNLOAD HERE through my store.

I appreciate your comments and feedback. Let me know what type of kit you'd like to see and I'll put my design mojo to work!

Happy Scrappin'!

Another CT Showcase & Spring Kit Freebie!

Another member of my CT, Linda, chose my May Flowers kit for her layout this month. It is a great mini kit for Mother's Day layouts, Easter, and other girly or spring-related events!

...And these are the beautiful layouts she created!

And for the next 2 days, you can snag this kit COMPLETELY FREE through my store!

DOWNLOAD HERE

Please leave a COMMENT if you choose to download, and if you create any layouts, I'd LOVE it if you would upload your creations to the MagsGraphics Gallery.

Happy Scrappin' and Happy Spring!

School Stuff... Coupon Offer... and Alpha FREEBIE!

Sorry I've been MIA - don't you just hate it when "real life" interferes with your scrappin' fun?!! :) In my case, I had a good excuse - I was working on my son's school's 8th Annual Math & Science Night. Can you believe that 2400+ 2nd-5th graders and their parents showed up to do Math & Science activities?!! It was awesome!! I sure wish math and science was that much fun when I was a kid! Here are some pictures from the event - these will be SOOOOOOO much fun to scrap (of course, I'm in 2009 still so it will be a while before I get to these!!):

The high school Chemistry teachers showed off their skills with some mad explosions...

And the Physics teachers broke a cinder block on the Principal's chest... who was laying on a bed of NAILS!!!

Pretty awesome, isn't it?!! :)

Now if you've got your own school-related layouts to complete, I've got some great kits in the store that might be just what you're looking for:

Each kit is only $2.00! - LOTS of possibilities to mix and match!

In fact, I used one of the quick pages from the QUICK PAGE SET (just $4.00) for this layout:

(Yeah... this is still 2009....!)

The ALPHA is one that I created - and you can snag it for FREE for just 3 DAYS through my store. I will be limiting the amount of direct downloads through the blog (Sorry, but I'm still stinging from the pirates that have stolen free kits and reposted them on other sites!), but you'll be able to download other freebies while you're there as well.

Sorry - this freebie has expired.

I'm going to be offering some exclusive coupons via my FACEBOOK FAN page, so be sure to "LIKE" it so the coupons and news will show up on your news wall! These coupons only last so long - so don't miss out!

Happy Scrappin'!
