In honor of Granparents Day 40% off my designs!

Howdy! How is everyone doing! I'm just stopping by to tell you about a great saleabration! Shirley Clark (a good friend of mine and fellow Paperthreads Designer) and I have teamed up to celebrate grandparents day. Aren't Grandparents the best! They are instant babysitters, wonderful huggers and kissers, and great story tellers. We feel they don't get enough credit so we are having a sale to honor them! All of our designs are 40% off! So grab a file (at a great deal) and send something special you created just for those beloved grandparents today. See my designs here and Shirley's designs here.

Note: SVG users if you see a file in either of our stores you'd like to purchase but it isn't available in SVG format then simply purchase the file in any format and e-mail us proof of purchase so we can get the SVG to you ASAP. My e-mail is in my advertisement above and check out Shirley's blog for hers.

I hope to be back with an announcement and some inspiration later today. Also, I'll be back tomorrow with a freebie.

New kit: Spring Splendor, CDT member Christine McFall and a freebie

Hi everyone,




Hurry, my sale ends in hours. You don't want to miss out on all the great deals. Click on Ad to go to my store.

I've very excited to show you my newest kit available at Paperthreads. I just love the fresh Spring colors in this kit. Click on any preview image to purchase. Best part is this kit is under $3.00 for today only!







Here is a close up of the great details in this kit. (crochet, gems, glitter, burlap, felt...)



I know the floral alpha in the kit may be too girly looking for some people so...I created another alpha also for sale at Paperthreads. Click on the preview to purchase. It is meant to resemble a chipboard alpha with dotted paper applied then sanded. I think this is a very versatile alpha which would go with many kits not just this one. Dots go with anything right!?! LOL!



Also check out the great pages Creative Design Team Member Christine made with this kit. They are just gorgeous! You wouldn't even know she is a beginner digital scrapbooker! (To see more of Christine's projects and some info about her scroll down)








Now introducing a very creative member of my creative design team...Christine McFall.
She loves to do items that are considered "out of the box". She loves Stickles too!



Here is a little bit of what she has to say about herself.

"Hi! I am so proud to have been selected to be a part of Shelly’s Creative Team! I am looking forward to working with all of her great designs!

My name is Christine McFall. I started scrapbooking 9 years ago, when my oldest Granddaughter was born. Now I enjoy scrapbooking, card making, altering items, making mini photo book, cross stitching and quilting. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 2 years. I have 2 grown children, Cassidy, who lives in Florida with her husband and my 2 Granddaughters (Taylor-9 and Hailey-5), and a son, Jamie, who lives here, in Colorado, with us. I am step Mom to Joshua, who lives in Texas. I am also a pet Mommy to 2 cats, Killer and Stella. My Hubby travels a lot for his job, so I stay busy crafting, and maintaining 2 Blogs and a Message Board!"

Here are the links to Christine's blogs: Number 1 and Number 2 and her message board.

The wonderful clock below uses the tulips from my Think Spring file. I just love how she turned a inexpensive clock into a great piece of art.



Christine made a great picture frame using my Festive Twig file. Not only is this frame great looking...it's very practical too. The eggs are attached with velcro and can be removed and replaced with stars for the 4th of July. The file comes with many ornaments that will allow you to decorate your frame all year round!



The fabulous, sparkly card uses my playful, flowers, leaves and vines and dotted fun sentiments files. Look closely..she did some wonderful machine stitching on the front of the card.




Here is another outside of the box project. Christine applied the flowers from my flowers, leaves and vines file to design a marvelous plaque.



Okay, to reward you for getting this far I am giving you a quick page freebie. I used my Spring Splendor kit to make it. I hope you like it. If you download please let me know what you think as this is the first quick page I have ever made. Click on preview to download.



Thanks for looking, reading, and shopping!

New Easter and wedding files, layouts, and freebie.

Hello everyone!

I've got many new files in the store just in time for Easter. First up are my build an Easter egg files. These files are so versatile and easy to cut! The eggs cut as overlays that get layered on to a solid egg. Mix and match these files for endless combinations! Click on the previews to see the files in my store.





Check out this great card CDT Kelly did with my build an Easter egg file! I just love all the little details she added...the stitching, embossing, and gem!



Susan also had fun with this file...creating an adorable mobile for her cute grandson!



Check out the wonderful layout CDT member Lisa created using the build an Easter Egg two file. I love how she used the plain egg as a journaling box and the decorative eggs as titles. Scroll down to see more amazing projects from her.



Once again Susan stepped out of the box and created this splendid wall hanging. She used a copper gel pen to outline the eggs. My favorite part though is the liquid applique she used on the flower buds.





Isn't this candy bar wrapper the cutest! This file is perfect to cut and stick inside an Easter basket. It would also be a great treat to give to a teacher, hair dresser, and mail carrier. It is always nice to remember everyone that makes your life special at Easter. All pieces cut separately so you could easily use this on a scrapbook page too. This file could be made into magnets and attached to the front of a card. Attach these to paperclips, add a pen and my Notepad with cover file and you have a wonderful little gift. Click on preview to see the file in my store.





This file is perfect for all the upcoming weddings that happen when the weather starts to warm up. This file is also great for other occasions such as the hearts can be used for Valentine's projects. Click on preview to see the file in my store.



Check out the great project CDT member Laury did for her daughter's wedding favors using this charming file and modifying Sam and Hailey Designs round top box .



It's time to announce another very talented member of my Creative Design Team. Give a warm welcome to Lisa Lindesmith.


Lisa had the following to say about herself.
"My name is Lisa Lindesmith. I live in Apex, North Carolina with my husband and two daughters, ages 10 and 15. For work, I am a research scientist studying the viruses that cause the stomach flu. For fun, I am a paper lover! A couple of years ago, my husband gave me a Craft Robo for Mother's Day and my digal cutter career began. I had so much fun with my Robo, that I quickly upgraded to the 13 inch KNK. I enjoy combining paper piecing with rubberstamping to create cards, scrapbooks and other 3D home decor and packaging items. My style is relatively linear and simple with clean lines, lots of white space and a 3D embellishment. Shelly's files are a pleasure to design with and I enjoy using them in my projects."

I must say I feel the same about Lisa...I love seeing the fabulous projects she creates with my files. Check out some of her projects below.

This great card uses my Festive Twig Tree file. I love how Lisa changed my file a bit by adding the bow to the bottom.



These wonderful cards below use my playful flowers, leaves, and vines file. Hurry this file is on sale for March only. She created it for my Paperthreads card sketch challenge.





This beautiful card uses my year round floral shaped card. I just love the shading Lisa did on this card!



Hurry today is the last day to get my Be My Valentine digital kit on sale for 40% off. It really is a great kit that would work not only for Valentine's layout but any layout showcasing love. Click on the preview to purchase it in my store.



Below is a layout I did using my kit and the wonderful Alternative Heart Template by Mega-Doodle Inspired (click on her blinkie to the right for more info). It is aversatile layered PSD file. I even hid a few layers I didn't need so the possibilities are endless!



Here is an awesome layout by CDT member Elizabeth. Isn't that puppy the cutest! I love how this kit matches that pillow perfectly.



Okay I think you've waited long enough. Thank goodness for the scroll button huh! Tee hee! Here is your freebie. Click on the image to download. Please leave a little love if you download. Click on Bannerwoman's blinkie at the left for more info of the the products I used in this freebie.
