Get Your Scrapbooking Fix with the Extensive Country Collection Scrapbook Your Cowboys and Cowgirls

 Welcome to The Cherry On Top, crafters and scrappers.

Y'all it is get'n hot up in here!  I'm a designing fiend for Plus at Design Bundles.  I've never loved a job so much.  I always knew I needed some kind of mega creative release because boy oh boy, do these wheels keep on turning.

Since I'm making only scrapbooking items and I need to add over a dozen a week, I started designing collections.  As an avid scrapbooker for 3 decades, I love collections.  I want tons and tons of goodies that all coordinate perfectly so that I don't have to run through my scrap stash and waste hours of time trying to match things.

Get creative with planner dashboard inserts!

I've got an enormous pack of textured and grunged out solids, plaids, dots and two more paper packs of designs for him and her.  That is a whole lotta paper!  You need a lot of paper when you have an entire album or large project in mind.

Planner Dashboard Inserts

Crafters that are into sublimation can totally go with my flow when it comes to collections.  You can also provide your customers with a collection.  What a great way to make more sales!

Various Papers from the Collection and a Border

So far you've seen products that coordinate mostly with the "hers" goodies.  I'm just so super crazy about this boho chic color palette.  It's great for him, her, adults, kids...It is very versatile and y'all know how much I love versatility. There are manly greens, dark brows, greys and blacks.  I really love the dark and washed denim blues and the not so girly dusty rose and blush colors.

Design Papers for Her

The country theme isn't exactly screaming which makes it ideal for anyone.  There are plenty of pieces and packs that would work for any theme, pictures or projects you've in mind.

I totally recommend mixing and matching all of the packs up.  You won't believe how far you'll be able to go with these scrap packs.  Here's a close look at the paper packs.

Country Dots

Country Plaids

Country Solids

Country Designs For Him

Stickers are a must have for your scrapbooking, planning and other crafts.  I've designed these stickers with great attention to detail.  I've added extra texture, bevels and shadows so that the stickers have a more 3D effect.  Flat is boring!

Country Stickers in Jpg and Png Easy to Print 8x11 Inch Sheets

Journal cards are one of my favorite kinds of scrapbooking embellishments.  They are so amazingly versatile.  Use them for your Project Life style scrapbooking page layouts by tucking them in your pockets or of course go Project Life digital style and forget the pockets if you prefer.  Use journal cards as stickers, tags, cards or even turn them into mini scrapbooks.  I've got several blogs on creative ways to use journal cards.

Country Journal Cards

Let's take a tiny break from previews and see some of the packs in action.  Theresa scrapped a beautiful page.  Y'all can scrap so quickly and easily with the shadowed clusters.

Word art and clusters are perfect for beginners and those of you looking to save time.

Y'all, I confess!  I bought a planner with good intensions.  I started it...and never touched the darn thing, again.  As I was putting together my previews for the dashboards in the Country Collection, I had a brain fart of an idea. I should totally turn my planner into a scrapbook!  What a super fun and easy way to scrap.  I think it'd be so easy to stay on top of my scrapbooking by keeping the format small which planners provide.

It'll save time because of the small format and I won't need as many supplies either.  I'll be able to use less and or smaller pictures, too.  Easier on the printer!  So look how to turn planner inserts and a planner into a mini scrapbook.

Use the coordinating papers to back the dashboards and apply photos, add journaling and of course more scrapbooking elements if you like.  You could keep your albums simple or totally go all out.

Here's another alternative idea for you with one of the packs in the Country Collection.  I've designed this wave card.  There's a birthday sentiment and a blank card, too.  It's got a nice masculine touch and can be used for any occasion really.

Printable Country Wave Card

Take a look what I did with the inside of the card.  You could totally use this design for a mini folding scrapbook!

Pimp up the inside of the card with photos.

I'm going to leave you with two more beautiful scrapbook page layouts as well as a gorgeous freebie.

This is the full size jpg version of my...page layout?  Card?  Journal card?  Poster?  Hover over the image and download if you like.  Keep it for Personal Use, please.

Love For Layout Templates Blog Train, Valentines Exploding Box Card and Other Fantastic Scrapbooking Inspiration

Welcome to The Cherry On Top, Crafters!

Today, I'm showing off a bit of the newest designs I've put in Plus at Design Bundles.  I've got a little bit of page inspiration.  There's a sneak peak and new goodies from Clever Monkey Graphics and of course...your free template from the blog train as well as a freebie from the last blog.

Come on and dive right in with me!

SURPRISE!  I've asked Ginger to open my shop.  It really bothered me having thousands of links that didn't go anywhere.  Though I won't be adding more new templates at this time, you can totally go in and purchase my templates there, again. Isn't that awesome?!  All of the moo-lah will go to GingerScraps.

So, yes!  I'm getting glue on my fingers, again.  I've been wanting to design an exploding box card for years and this time, it all fell right into place.  Whoo hoo!  The people at Design Bundles loved it so much, they sent me an e-mail.  Wow!  Needless to say, I've a very long list of more similar projects like this one as well as mini album ideas that all can be done hybrid style.

If you pop over to the product description at Design Bundles Plus, you'll see an entire tutorial of how to easily put this baby together.  Seriously, you can have this entire project done in under 30 minutes and it is SO cute. 

There are endless ways to change it up.  I used goodies from my Valentine Collection at Plus.  It coordinates magically.

First, I designed an entire collection for cats and now we are on to dogs.  What pet series would you like next?  I'm thinking chickens.  Y'all know, I just love my girls.  Here are just a few of the items.  There are even more in Plus.

Journal Cards

Stickers

These are separate in Plus.

Theresa scrapped it up wonderfully.

I'm having so much fun designing paper packs for Plus.  I've got three new ones this week and these are from last week.

I Love My Dog Papers 2

Above is a more whimsical set of papers.  Whilst below, is more artistic.  I hope I've included your doggy somewhere in this series.

I Love my Dog Papers 1

I thought this time of year is a great time to show our appreciation to our healthcare workers.  I designed a paper pack as well as some really cute word art.

Healthcare Papers

See how easy it is to scrap with just the papers and word art?!

I'm still designing templates and though it was going slow, the pace is picking up and more and more people are getting my templates.  Yay!  A big shout of thanks if you have been a part of that.

So Pretty Templates

Layered Squares Templates and a gorgeous collaboration with Key Lime Digi Design.

Hexagons Template

Split Image Template and a gorgeous template at our place on the Mosel River in Germany.

Here's another attempt at a template/light box.  Theresa made a few lovely pages.  The light box does not have the photo layer, obviously.

More scrap-a-licious hands on scrapping is waiting for you.  Since my Baby Boy Collection sold more than the Baby Girl Collection, I did the baby boy mini scrapbook first.  Next week, the girl version will be in.  Y'all won't believe how insanely easy this thing is to put together.

Here's a look at my new paper pack, Hearts Patterns.  A little intense.  A little playful and a touch dramatic.  Sound familiar?

Hearts Patterns 

Farmhouse Valentine from Clever Monkey Graphics matched perfectly and it is such a cute collection.

Speaking of Clever Monkey Graphics.  Tracey has a new kit out this week.  I scrapped it up with an upcoming template idea I'm putting in Plus next week.  Can ya guess the theme?

Nothing like a little bevel and some great shadows to lift your page.

Here's last week's freebie.

Here's your free template, hoppers.  Thanks so much for stopping by The Cherry.  Feel free and scroll back through hundreds, that's right!  Hundreds of freebies on the blog. This blog has been around for nearly 10 years and I try to leave my freebies for as long as I can.  So enjoy and come on back for more inspiration.

I was super late with my page and I'm the last stop.  Pop over to our group to show off your work and get a list for more stops if you need.

I apologize for leaving such a simple template.  I think it is super versatile.  Shrink it down and make a super cute frame if you like.  It'll also make a wonderful card.  It's my birthday next week.  The big 50!  We all had Covid back in November and though my symptoms were not bad at all, it sucked away all of my strength and stamina and now I've got some other illness.  To think I wasn't sick for years! I'm super pooped!  Thanks for putting up with all of my crap!  Hehehe...

I hope you stay healthy and that you'll join our group for more scrap-a-licious shenanigans.

 

New Digital Scrapbooking Products, Super Fun Scrapbook Page Layouts and a Freebie

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

My apologies for not being great at keeping up.  I spend so much time designing that I just can't wait to get my butt of my chair and move.  Hehehe...I'm sure you know exactly what I mean.

I'm having an absolute blast designing for Plus at Design Bundles.  I've been getting at least three templates in the shop every week along with nearly a dozen other fun, new and inspiring scrapbook designs and lately even educational resources.  Keep on reading to find out more about that.

I had so much fun designing this Travel Collection.  There are 8 packs that coordinate with it.  You can see them all in this preview.  Just type in Travel Collection in the search at Plus in Design Bundles and they should pop up for ya.

You can do so much with this collection.  Beautify your planners, agendas, scrapbook, make cards, invitations and tags...

The word art make scrapbooking really fast and simple.

Printable sticker sheets will bring these digital designs off of the screen and on to your physical pages.  Now, that is super scrap-a-licious fun!

Using journal or pocket cards for scrapbooks is a fantastic idea!  If time is of the essence or your scrappy skills are lacking, this is a format of scrapbooking that might appeal to you.

Just look at all of these lovely colors.  They are so bright and inspiring.  Your travel photos are going to look terrific with them.

There are a lot of printable sheets in this collection.  Including these awesome planner printables.

Go big with your elements, keep it simple and scrap quickly and beautifully.

Quick pages or ready made scrapbook pages are ideal if you've not got the time or energy to scrapbook.

Now take a look at all 12, Year In Review templates in Plus.  There is a funky font and a whole heck of a lot of photo spots for all of your monthly memories.  Perhaps you'll choose another year besides 2020 to scrap?!  I certainly don't want to remember any of it!  Hehehe...Type, "Year in Review" at Plus, in the search and these will appear like magic.

Dun!  Dun! Daaah!  Here's an eek-a-licious series I've designed for the Pet Collection featuring one of my favorite pets, cats.  Y'all probably have seen plenty of pictures of our gorgeous kitties.  Show off your kitties in our scrappy group.

I've also designed some basic templates to coordinate with the collection.  That first template just might look super in a light box.  If you do this, by all means, show us the photos!

This is kind of how it might look like...If you've not seen light boxes, head over to Design Bundles and check them out.  There are some absolutely gorgeous ones.  Maybe you'll find a new craft!

Here's a page example with the template and the, I Love My Cat series.

A bit more plain...

and mega changed up!

We've sold so many of these Valentine designs and to think I didn't really even feel like designing them.  Until...I got started.  I had a somewhat limited color palette, which I do often prefer, but ended up having an absolute hoot designing all of this and it is showing in the sales.  Take a look to see the fun I had with this collection.

More fun quick pages!

I've been asked to help out with educational resources and though it has been awhile since I've been before a class, I'm going for it.  I'm doing all kinds of levels and keeping special needs in mind with the designs.  I also give hints, tips and alternative ideas for teaching with the activities in the product descriptions.

As you can see, I'm using attractive, eye catching colors and fun designs that I find in Plus or that I design myself.

I know a lot has changed and I'll tell ya, it is going to keep changing.  Hehehe...I've got so many new and craft-tastic ideas I've yet to design.  My notebooks are bulging!  It is on my agenda to get some glue on my fingers.  I hope you'll join with me that.

If you've got a design idea you'd like to share or see if I can design, hit us up on FB or send an e-mail.  We'd love to hear from you and see what you've been working on.

Here's a new fun freebie!  Give the, I Love My Cat series a try!

Y'all, take good care of yourself.  Keep positive and keep love in your heart.  Make sure you put yourself in other people's shoes and constantly remind yourself about all of the things you are grateful for, both big and small.  It's good for the soul.

Thanks for hanging with The Cherry and happy scrapping!
