Weeds & Wildflowers

Introducing our Little Sprouts Bargain Kits!

I am one proud mama today!  I am so excited to announce to you the release of two new kits created by my two daughters, Jessica (15) and Rebekah (10)!!  Some kids mow lawns to make money, other kids babysit (and Jessica is a great babysitter! ;-)....my girls have learned how to create digital sb kits that they can raise some money to help pay for school clothes!  They have developed a basic knowledge of Photoshop and their skills are improving every day!  I am amazed at their level of understanding!!

I had originally planned to sell these directly from this blog, but decided I didn't want to mess with sending out links, so I created the Little Sprouts section in the store for these kits.  PLEASE keep in mind that these are NOT "designer kits" and may have a few small quirks in them, however, I have proofed everything as well as I could and believe that to be very minimal.  In fact, I may steal some of Bekah's papers to recolor and use in my next kit!!  ;-)

Bekah's paper pack is definately a reflection of her personality (half girly-girl and half skater punk!) and her features her favorite colors!  Typical fun "tween" color scheme!  She quickly learned how to use brushes in lots of different ways as well as learning to add fun textures.

Buy Bekah's Paper Pack for only $1.50 in the shoppe here!

Jessica took a slightly different approach to designing her kit.  She used crayons to doodle on notebook paper and then scanned in her drawings as well other fun elements.  It is also a reflection of her bright and fun-loving personality!

Buy Jessica's Doodle Kit for only $2 in the shoppe here!

I am so proud that they are willing to work to earn money, thank you for supporting my talented girls' hard work!!

It's Our Big Birthday Bash, New Products, & the SA Reverie Add-on FREEBIE!!

One other fun side note!  My little add-on Freebie for the Reverie Kit at ScrapArtist was supposed to go in The Muse this month, but several things came up and Nancie was unable to get that out, SO I am offering it here on my blog for a short time!  So pick it up while you can and we LOVE your comments!!  Have fun!!

Under Construction -- Again!

Hey there!  Just wanted to let you know we are in the middle of redoing our site, so things might be a little crazy for a day or so.  Some of the links may or may not work, and the store is closed for some major changes as well!!  But lots of fun things happening- we are getting a new gallery, and have a great new CT page so you can see the beautiful faces behind the amazing layouts you are seeing all over the web!  AND we having a HUGE sale to kick off the new site look and a big birthday bash as well.  Heidi and I have the same birthday so we thought it would be fun to have a little ol' celebration and let all of you wonderful ladies know how much we love and appreciate you!!  We will have some fantastic sales and freebies so check back in the next day or so and we will have some fun!!

Summer Bright Combo is here...and on sale!!

I was closer to being done than I thought!  :)  I'm happy to bring you the Summer Bright Alpha and Paper Pack that coordinates with the Bunches of Buttons set!  So happy, in fact, that I'm putting the combo of all three items on sale for a VERY low price of $8 through Friday ONLY!  That's basically giving you the Paper Pack for free!!  After that, the Summer Bright Combo will be normally priced at $9.50

The Summer Bright Alpha set includes a fun, pre-colored alpha, a b&w alpha that you can color yourself, and a the alpha in brush format (an .abr file). The Summer Bright Paper pack has 8 fabulously shabby background papers in the same cheerful palette. Of course, these coordinate perfectly with the Bunches of Buttons Set!

Bunches of Buttons for your layouts!

I've been in the mood to use a bright, colorful palette and Bunches of Buttons is the first result!  There are over 400 acrylic buttons that are a fun mixture of clear and cheerfully colored shapes, some embellished and some doodled on.  There are both clean and grunged versions included as well as 52 colorful button stitches to "sew" the buttons to your pages!  Mix and match for lots of fun custom possibilities!

Purchase Bunches of Buttons in the W&W store here!

Here is a little sampling of some clear acrylic buttons for you to try!

These are NOT included in the full set so download them here!

I'm still loving this color scheme so watch for an alpha, papers, and more fun elements coming SOON!
