Monkeys have arrived in my store and SCAL users I have something for you!

Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! It seems like weeks when you have a day off actually last longer then regular full weeks. Go figure! I guess it's because you have to squeeze a more work into a shorter work week!



As you can see above I'm excited to tell you I now offer SVG files separated by color for all the SCAL and Circut users out there. I will be offering all new files I put in my store at Paperthreads in SVG format. If you see something already in the store you would like in SVG format please click here to put in a request and I will convert the files for you ASAP.

I have a whole slew of monkey files in my store I designed for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. I had so much fun making these and I hope you will too. Click on the previews to see the items in my store. All these files are ready to purchase in SVG, AI, GSD, WPC and KNK formats.









If you'd like to personalize your birthday banner with the party person's name or age then check out the files below. They use the same font as the birthday banner charms. Click on previews to see them in my store. Oh and there is no need to request these in SVG format. They are ready to go into the store in SVG format any day now.





If you like what you see and want to purchase all my monkey files. Just click on the preview to purchase the whole collection at a discounted price.



Also coming soon to my store is my very first CU okay digital scrapbooking template. I'm very excited to offer this soon and will have more in the future. I will also be offering this in a digital cutter format too.



I should get to bed soon but I promised you some photos of my daughter's second birthday party. She had a blast! I can't believe she is 2! I guess it's time to start potty training!



Aren't these cupcakes adorable. They are made with mini vanilla wafers for the ears and a large vanilla wafer for the face plus red and black icing. They are banana flavored with chocolate icing. Yummy! I got the idea from the following blog. Thank you!



Adoree was such a lucky birthday girl. She got soo many gifts! Not only did she get a bunch of baby dolls but also a pack and play to put them in. Her brother claimed the tent and bubble mower...yep they'll be fighting over those for sure! Mommy is happy she now has Summer clothes to wear! Now only if it would get warm again! Oh in case you are wondering what that bucket is that kissing Elmo is sitting in...it's the coolest thing! It is a wheel barrow of sorts for kids. They can help you in the garden pulling weeds and then place them in this bucket with wheels and a handle that rolls easily. We got it at Wal-Mart.



This face Adoree is making is priceless. She often did this when she opened a gift she liked..."ohh cups" she said. Who knew a bunch of disposable cups with straws would make her so happy!



The above photo just cracks me up! We had bought Adoree a monkey shirt, the hat and sunglasses for her party. She had her arms out posing like a movie star! She is so comical at times!

Well it's past my bed time so I'll say good night and catch up with you all later!

New files in my store and many fabulous projects by my CDT!

Hello,

I hope all is well with everyone. I'm pretty busy preparing for a birthday party for my almost 2 year old daughter. We are so hoping it doesn't rain on Sat as we don't want 25 or so people crammed in our little house. We are having a monkey themed party since she climbs on everything. Somewhere someone taught her to even pick bugs out of our hair..too funny! So after I recover from the party you will be seeing many monkey themed files in my store. Below are a few previews of what is to come!







Do you like the look of my blog! Well hop on over to my friend and Creative Design Team Member's blog. Elizabeth did a fabulous job designing blog backgrounds from my newest digital scrapbooking kit Spring Splendor. Give her some love if you download the freebie backgrounds she has so graciously provided. While you're at it check out the kit. Click on the preview below to see it in my store. Hurry it's on sale for $2.50 this month only.



Check out my two new files in the store. Click on the previews to see them in my store and scroll down to see them used in a layout.







I did the layout for a sketch example in the April 2009 Paperthreads Newsletter. See more info and Ginny's sketch by reading the newsletter here.

Well Sue did it again! She sure has a knack for using my products in unique, fun ways. Take a look at what she did with the my lollipop bouquet. She replaced the lollipop with kisses and dowel rods. I just love how she used the curling ribbon to hold the flowers on the dowel rod.




Now you want to make your own kisses bouquet! Click on the preview below to purchase my file.



Check out what my creative design team member did with my ever so popular birds of a feather file. Isn't it the greatest. You can find the bird box template here on Nicole Heady's blog.



Click on the preview below to purchase your very own little birdies!



My creative team is just creating simply more and more wonderful projects so many so that I can hardly keep up with them. I have even more to show you but this post is getting pretty long. I will leave you with one more item created by CDT Laury Vaden. She used my tea caddy file. Don't you just love the colors and inking she did. Click on the tea caddy preview to purchase the file. Hurry it's on sale for $1.97 the month of May only.






Now I'd better get back to monkey business. Oh but before I forget. SCAL users Paperthreads will soon be offering files suitable for SCAL users. We would like to know what your preference is. Please fill out the poll here.
