Riding the Train into the New Year!!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope you all had a great New Years Eve and are recovering quickly.  Myself, I just cannot stay up that late anymore with children that get up at 5am.  However, I do have a wonderful mini for you as part of the Jan 2012 Blog Train.  This month we were given our beautiful colors and the word "Refresh" to run with.  This is what I created with that information.  I hope you like it and leave some love where you stop and download.

New Release, 40% off Sale & Freebie

Good Day Everyone!

First I hope you all had a great Christmas, if you celebrate, and hope that the New Year brings you many happy memories. I am running a little late on postings as I have had really bad back pain and, of course, the holidays that have prevented me from getting on the computer to work.  This last Friday, I released my kit "Silence" along with 3 card templates made from the kit.  I have also created a little add on for you to sample my work and add to the kit when you pick it up.  Seeing its the holidays, those of us at With Love Studios, have decided to have a 40% off sale until New Years for you to pick up some great designs.

Last Day for Closing Sale and FB Hop

Good morning everyone!

Well sadly today is your last day to run over to Faith Sisters and pick up the remnants of my shop there for only $1.  I am very sad that I have to close my doors there but I have to move on.  Please get what you can as the duos will definately not move on and majority of the kits will not either.

Now on to some fun.... I have never participated in a Facebook Hop but today I am.  It is will a beautiful collaboration from the Designers from With Love Studios.  You have to visit each of their Facebook pages including the shops FB page, "Like" them, click on the "Exclusive" link (if you don't go straight there) and then just click on their preveiw.  Thats it.... sounds like fun huh?!?!?  Why not join in - here is my Facebook Page and my preview along with the full preview of the kit.

The With Love Studios Facebook Page can be found here just in case you get lost along the way.  Also note that each of us are on different time zones so please be patient as we put our parts up.

Advent Calendar Day15

Good morning all!

I am hosting the give away today for the Advent Calendar Daily Giveaway for With Love Studios.  I hope that you have been getting all the goodies that the Advent Calendar Collaboration is offering as it is an amazing kit!

Each day the Host of the Giveaway asks a question about Christmas and I would love for you to leave a comment to my question!  My question is:  Do the ornaments on your tree have a story or are they just regular ornaments?
You can get the download here

Before you go though, I would like to remind you that my closing sale over at Faith Sisters is only going on until Friday so if you want some great deals and designs for only $1 head on over there.

One last thing.... here is a sneak peek of whats to come on Friday with some of the Designers of With Love Studios.  I suggest if you want to get the blog quicker that you swing by each of the Designers Facebook Pages and Like them so that you can move quickly through the train.  Just a suggestion.

New Lovely Releases

Good Friday everyone!

I think we are on the count down.... 3 weeks until Christmas!  I hope you are getting your shopping, wrapping and baking as things get closer.  I have finished all the birthdays I have during this season and have just a few Christmas gifts to go.  Right now though, we are collecting items around the house for the family to donate to those less forunate and then going to go and adopt a little soldier from the soldier tree (like the angel tree but for military children).  We have been trying to teach my children for the last couple years that they have so much and that we should give more to those who don't have so much.  Not sure if its kicking in yet but we will continue to do it until they move out.

Ok I know you are here to see my New Lovely Releases, get a freebie and see about the new link for the Advent Calendar right?  Ok here we go.

Here is a freebie I put together for you from my newest release "Preppy Princess".  Remember that all weekend this will be 30 % off.

My Closing Sale over at Faith Sisters continues through next Friday so don't forget to swing by and pick up some really great deals for only $1, including my CU, collaborations and bundles.  A deal too good to miss out on.

Black Friday and Deals Aglore

Hi everyone!

I hope that you had a fabulous Thanksgiving (if you celebrate)!  Now that your bellies are full and hopefully you got a little nap, its time for some shopping.  Not sure if you will be out braving the early bird specials or not but for me the specials are going on all weekend long! My newest shop, With Love Studio, is having a 50% off sale all weekend long including my newest releases. All the Designers will have their shops at 50% off so it will definately be something you wont want to miss out on.

And these are my new releases for the weekend!  Ballroom Blitz was created for a fan who was in need of a "ballroom" type kit so scrap some photos of her and her darling husband as they had been taking ballroom dancing classes.  Though it is the theme, you can definately scrap almost anything you would like.  I have updated and quality checked the kit since its original release a while ago so it is ready for you to dance along with.

Thankful Word Art is just that.... all about thankfullness and giving thanks.  We all have those layouts that just need a final touch, what could be better than a "thankful" saying to finish it off.

Lovely Weekend Releases

Good Friday everyone!

I hope you are starting your weekend off right as I am with a new release sale of 30% off of 3 products just added to my With Love Studio Shop.  I am running a little behind as things are extremely busy and stressful in my life right now but I wanted you all to see what I am releasing and what the wonderful CT members have created.

Happy My Day was created last April inspired by my own birthday and too few of grownup birthday kits.

Bring on the Music was created for a challenge from Faith Sisters but I felt that it still has meaning for so many different layouts.

Finally, Gather Together is a kit that I created a while back and decided that this is the perfect time to bring it back as Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

I hope you swing by and pick up some of these goodies before the sale is over. And to get you started here is a little freebie for you that I made to coordinate with my Gather Together kit.
