Secret Garden Has a New Home!

Hello Scrapland!  I have some good news.  As of tomorrow, Secret Garden Creations will be an exclusive designer at Funky Playground Designs!  And, to celebrate her new home, she is having a celebration/iNSD sale!  Here’s the details:

New Life

Hello Scrapland!  I hope everyone’s week is going well.  Mine is!  My husband has the week off and it’s been so nice to be able to run errands and get everything done around the house without worrying about toting little ones around :)  The real reason I am here is to show you a very pretty kit by Flower Scraps called New Life.  I love the blues and browns, which is what drew me to the kit in the first place.  It’s not really a baby kit, but more of a family kit.  Here is what I did with it:

Here’s the kit preview, you can click it if you want to go check out the kit in store!

Happy Scrapping! 

Daydreams and Wishes

Hello Scrapland!  Scraps of Ellay has just put out a super cute kit full of fairies and flowers called Daydreams and Wishes.  I love the colors that she chose and the cute little fairies she used.  Here are a couple of layouts I did with the kit for a couple of challenges over at STS:

And here’s the preview of the entire kit.  You can click on it to be taken to the store:

 
While I’m here writing, I want to show you all a couple of fabulous layouts by a fellow military spouse: Amanda :)  She used our kits to make a couple of layouts and I think they turned out great!

She used C-O-F-F-E-E for this first one, which is positively adorable!

And she used the My Marine kit for this awesome layout full of service members.  It’s great that they are all being nice to each other long enough to take a picture together! :) J/K!
 
Thanks for letting me share these Amanda!  We always love seeing our kits  in use!  Happy scrapping everyone!

Backyard Adventures

Hello Scrapland!  Are you like me and have tons of family pictures of different activities in the backyard?  Sports, grilling, kids on bikes and such?  Well, Digi Designs by Nicole teamed up with Scraps N Pieces to create a big kit just for us!  It’s called Backyard Adventures and it’s full of blues and greens and tons of fun elements for all of your spring and summer pics! 

Here are a couple of layouts I made with it:

A Mother’s Love

Hello Scrapland!  Are you ready for Mother’s Day?  If you are way behind on your holidays like I am, you will benefit from the kit I’m going to show you today.  SAHM Scrapper and Gettin Scrappy With Britt have come together to make a GORGEOUS kit that is perfect for all of your motherly layout needs.  They even put together a brag book that you can purchase to make a great 12 page BB album for your favorite mother on her special day.  Here’s the layout I made with the kit:

Muddy Buddies

Hello Scrapland!  I’m back to show you Scraps of Ellay’s new kit called Muddy Buddies.  It’s a collab with Ivory Keys Digital Dreams and It’s such a cute and fun and DIRTY kit for all of our messy little ones.  When I got the kit and went looking through all of my pictures, I realized that I’m one of those horrible parents who never lets her kids play in the mud.  I’m going to have to find a nice big mud puddle this summer and let the boys go at it!  But, for now, you get my non muddy layouts that I made using the kit :)

Here’s the kit preview, click it to be taken to the store!

 
Hope you enjoy!

Sighted In

Hello Scrapland!  I’m here to show you a kit that is originally made for paintball photos, but I haven’t played paintball so I used it to scrap my Marine hubby with.  It’s called Sighted In and I love the colors and the gun like elements are perfect for my husband who likes to show of his “big guns” hehe.  Here are the layouts I made with the kit:

Birthday Boy

Hello Scrapland! I have a new kit to show you and I think it’s pretty fitting. The kit is Birthday Boy by Secret Garden Creations. She made it in honor of her son who turns 10 this weekend, but even though I’m not a boy, it’s also fitting because today is MY birthday :) I really had fun with this kit because the colors are great! And guess what? She has it on sale for $1.50 until the 16th!! Check out what I did with it:

Hello again Scrapland!  I have one more kit to show you today, and it’s to get you ready for Earth Day!  I think it is gorgeous and the deep colors really get you in the “Save the Earth” kind of mood.  Here are a couple of layouts I made with the kit:

School Days

Hello Scrapland!  Do you have any school age children?  Or maybe you know someone who is graduating this year and you aren’t sure what to get them?  Well, SAHM Scrapper has just what you need :)  She made a giant school mega kit with all the colors you need for any age, boy or girl!  She also put together a giant coordinating QP set so you can quickly throw together an album for that special graduate in your life!  I made one page with it, since my boy is only in Preschool, the rest of my pages with this kit will follow in the years to come :)

Here are some of the previews, the kit is sooo big she had to split it up a bit!  If you see something you like, you can click it to be taken to the store!

Happy Easter!!

Hello Scrapland!  Ok, this is the last post until after Easter, I promise!  I decided to give away an Eastery freebie as well as the last post with CU freebies, because it is Easter after all.  :)  I made a template based on a paper layout I made a few years ago and loved.  Of course it’s not the same, but I thought it could be a nice starting point for those of you who like to get creative with your shapes/layouts. 

This layout is in .psd format and is CU friendly!  Click the preview to download!

 

Have a great Easter Sunday!!!

CU Freebie!!

Hello Scrapland! It’s Easter time and so I am really in the giving mood. I’m so happy to hear that a few people like and can use My Marine! Thanks ladies!! However, I’d also like to give something away that more of the scrapping community can possibly enjoy. So, I put together some of my CU items (randomly) and will be giving you all a completely free, do what you want with, designer pack.

It includes:
- 6 CU texture overlays
- 4 CU elements (The bucket is a layered .psd file, the rest are .png)

So, if you would like some free stuff, click on the preview to download!

Enjoy, and Happy Easter!!!

So Far Out

Hello Scrapland!  Secret Garden Creations has a fun new kit in store called So Far Out.  It’s a spacey, alieny, roboty kit that works great for any of your geeky/creative little kid layouts!  I did two layouts with it.

 

Here’s the kit preview, you can click it to be taken to the store.  She has also put some nice CU stuff in store, so go check it out!

My Marine Addon

Hello Scrapland!  I know there isn’t a HUGE demand for military kits and even less for a branch specific, but I got the motivation the other day to expand on My Marine, so I did!  I had made a baby announcement for my neighbor which I had to make a couple more elements for and that’s where this addon got started.  I hope you enjoy!  I had fun playing with the grungy colors again!
Here’s the preview, the download links are below :)
