A Freebie, and 4 new kits.

I'm terrible, aren't I? I just go AWOL without warning, and then you guys all feel like spanking me, don't you? (hmmm, on second thought, maybe I just do it for the spankings, what do you think?)

Aaaanyway, I debuted at SBG on September the 1st, and I've been having a blast! It's been such a wonderful experience, I'm thrilled to have my Studio open! Plus Megs is there to hold my hand, which has been a major help!
And I kicked it off in the best possible way, with 3 (yes, THREE) spanking new collabs!

The first one with Megs (none other than the flergs, as my husband would say) is called Squeeee!:

I went a tad overboard on this one, and made 7 additional alphas, available individually or as an 8 alpha pack:


Then I teamed up with my friend Nicole, of the Sugarplum Paperie, and thought people might enjoy a glass of Chilled Wine:

Finally, my friend Franziska Altmann and I got together to bring you some cardboard-y goodness in the form of Free Spirit:

BUT, that's not all! After all of these collabs, I went out and made a kit of my own, brand new - Kiss and Tell, debuting today at SBG:

and then I just had to go and make a matching Kiss and Tell freebie for you guys:

And, because it's been so long since I've blog, here's a coupon to pick up Kiss and Tell with a 20% discount:

The code is KissingGame (in case the image decides to go missing).

Whew! I really shouldn't go this long without blogging, I'm exhausted just by the sheer length of this post!

And on other, bittersweet news, this will be my last release at Sunshine Studio (althought I will still be around to spank everyone there ). My ES store has just closed and my store at Sun will be open until the end of the month and, after that, I'm psyched to anounce I'll be selling at SBG along Megs! Can I get a squee?

I'm a Teacher's Pet! With a freebie to boot!

Yup, I (and 100 other people, lol) joined Funky Playground Design's Teacher's Pet program. And in the nick of time, too! I joined a day and a half ago, and we're an hour and a half from deadline! Whew, talk about cutting it close!

Isn't it gorgeous?

Mango Tango, and 11 new designers!

Hi everyone!

It's time for another Sunshine Girls (and Guy, can't forget my hubby!) freebie collab! Squeeeee!!! This time around it's called Mango Tango, and I'll show you my preview and give you my link in a minute.
Before that let me just spill what I've been dying to say: we ended up adding not one, not 5, not even 10 but 11 (eleven!) great new designers to Sunshine Studio! Can I get a giant mega squee???
Who are they, you ask? Well, their shops will be going live on Friday, but they're contributing to Mango Tango as well, so you'll get a sneak peek sooner! Just drop by the Sunshine Studio blog to be directed to their individual blogs and download their shares of Mango Tango! And don't forget to show off the gorgeous LOs you create with it at our gallery!

Ok, here's my share at last:





Mango Tango 1
Mango Tango 2

Enjoy and, once again, don't forget to drop by the Sunshine blog for the rest of your links!

My Grab Bag extended for TODAY ONLY!

Yup, it was only going to run through the 3rd, until I remembered that the 4th was "somewhat important" to so many of you. So, if you haven't snagged it yet, you can do it today only, here!

http://www.sunshinestudioscraps.com/...8&cat=0&page=1


Hurry up! Then it will be gone!

I'm an idiot!

I'm an idiot!

Yup, I am! What would you guys say if I told you that I have been so out of it that I completely forgot to blog that the Sunshine Girls (and Guy, let's not forget my lovely hubby who has been posting here so that my blog won't just fade into oblivion!) finally managed to open shop - Sunshine Studio Scraps? You'd say "You idiot!" in your best Dr. House voice, wouldn't you? Yup, I would too. I have, actually, lol! I know I got Vasco to post that we were opening but, after that, I didn't say a word! What did I tell you? I'm an idiot! ;)

So, to make it up to you guys, I bring you both a freebie and a coupon. But, first, let me show you my new fan blinkie, and also what has been keeping me busy:

My wonderful friend and head CT Jeannette, aka Nett, aka Lady_Grundlefunk, is a hidden blinkie making marvel! Look what she made for me, isn't it gorgeous? I'm in love!

As far as new products are concerned, let's start with my Cinnamon Breeze kit:

Also available in separate Elements and Papers packs.



The Alpha in Cinnamon Breeze is a multicoloured one, and I liked the end result so much I ended up making an 8 Alpha Pack, each in their own colour. Did I mention I'm an alphaholic?

Next are boxes, boxes and more boxes. But, because boxes don't like to be alone, they come with tears, curls, rubber bands and even custom drop shadows in separate pngs. Oh, and some clusters too. Build-A-Box 1:

And Build-A-Box 2:

Or you can get Build-A-Box 1 & 2 together and save yourself $1:

"Enough with the product previews already, where is my coupon?" I hear you saying.

Go to my Sunshine Studio Scraps store at any time between now and the end of the month and enter the code YouIdiot! to get 25% off everything, including CU.

And you have the added benefit of insulting me for not having told you about Sunshine Studio Scraps! You can use it up to twice per person so, in case you use it and forget to get something, you can still grab it at a discount! Enjoy your freebie, and I'll try and pay more attention to my poor neglected blog, promise

"And the freebie?" Here it is, it's a mini kit that coordinates with my collab with the lovely Studio Flergs, What Dreams May Come. You can click on the image or on the download link to get it.

Full Circle Line - Kit, QP Album and FREE CD Album

Hi everyone!

It's late, and I'm tired, but I'm sooooo happy with everything I have to show you!
I have been wanting to create a retro 70s disco kit for so long now, and always kept postponing. Then, finally, when I wasn't even trying to make it happen, it did! And thus, Full Circle was born!



Then the amazing Franziska Altmann made me this gorgeous Quick Page Album, consisting of 12 12x12" Pages @ 300 dpi.



And, for a limited time only, you can get the CD Album for free, if you purchase both the kit and the QP album.






Here are some LOs by my wonderful CT using Full Circle:

Layout by Vasco, aka Moon Scraps, aka THE Hubby


Layout by Jeannette, aka Lady_Grundlefunk


The kit is also available as separate Elements and Paper Packs





AND, if you're still not satisfied, you can get a matching freebie called Circle Line to boot!


Whew, that was a LONG post!
