I want to send a hugeeee thanks to my amazing Creative Team I am so grateful to them so lucky to have had them their talent and commitment blows me away and will miss them all so much :( and to the store owners and friends I've met along the way there are some pretty awesome people out there.

New Kit Winter Dreams

2009-12-14T22:53:00.006+11:00

Hey everyone I so excited about the release of my new kit Winter Dreams I have to say it was a bit strange creating a winter kit when its the middle of summer here lol but it cooled me down hehe Its another large kit with 14 papers and over 100 unique elements (and what that means for anyone that doesn't know is that number doesn't include recoloured elements) Beautiful soft colours my fav colour blue white and a variation of mauves. The great thing about these pretty colours is that you can scrap boys and girls for any winter occasion. There is also a full set of alpha in uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols and euro. A wordart set, frame clusters, two sets of quickpages and I decided to bundle everything up into a collection.

My Creative Team has grown quite a bit have a look below at some of their absolutely stunning pages I couldn't fit them all in and I've decided to put a bunch of layouts on one page otherwise their layouts would go on and on forever lol but you can view them over at Pickleberry Pops Gallery here give the girls some time to upload but they'll be added soon.

I also want thank all my loyal customers, online friends and CT who have been amazing throughout 2009 I probably won't be releasing anything new until 2010 its going to be a very busy couple of weeks but I'll be back posting a few more times before then :)

Back soon with a freebie xox

2009-12-14T22:30:00.002+11:00

Two layouts below by me:

Layouts below by some of my amazing Creative team: Dani, Soph, Agata, Nadin, Diana, Hutchie, Caroline, punchken, rabiva, Joan, Tammy and Moni so many more gorgeous layouts I couldn't fit on but you can see them in the Pickleberry Pop Gallery they will be uploading soon :)

New Kit Citrus Breeze

2009-10-28T23:12:00.002+11:00

Hey Everyone my new kit Citrus Breeze is now available in stores and its 15% off at Pickleberry Pop for a few days until Oct 31st. If you love orange and green you'll love this kit it has orange, a lighter orange, greens, creams with unique and fun elements, shabby papers, you can see a full description in store. Its a big and versatile kit you can scrap any type of pics have a look below at the gorgeous pages my CT have come up with they are so amazing I'm so lucky to have such a talented bunch of girls on my team.

As always I have some add ons a frame cluster pack, a word art set, a 4 page quickpage set and this time instead of doing a mini album I put together another quickpage set of 8 pages which is basically the same thing except they are 12"x12" instead of 8"x8" which is what I make the mini album at....but this way you can easily make up your own album with the 4 page set and 8 page set you'll have 12 pages at 12"x12" but if you prefer 8"x8" pages you can easily resize them down.

Thats it from me back later...have a great week :)

These are a set of textures at 12"x12", 300dpi and they are clear at 100% I can't tell you how many times I've been burnt purchasing textures that look fine when you open them up but when you go to actually view them at 100% they're completely blurry...yuck and go straight to my recycle bin. There are 6 textures in the pack, I've added a preview below of coloured versions they're not actually included in the pack but just wanted to show you what they looked like with a quick colour overlay you can grunge them up with brushes, layer them, add gradients to create gorgeous papers in a snap :)

So again these are the second product out of seven new packs in my new Grab Bag available in my stores for just $7.00 did I mention thats just $1.00 a product.

I also wanted to share some adorable pics of my Nephew Kai who's just 7 weeks old he's the cutest and so so tiny he looks so much like his mummy but I'm starting to see my bro in him too :) love the pic below of daddy and son taking a nap awww too sweet.

I'm also in the process of changing my site host just had a few problems, time outs, error message too often so there might be a bit of down time with my store it shouldn't be too long hopefully my new host has a great rep and a few digi stores out there use them.

Thats all from me today back tomorrow with the Reveal of Product No. 3

DST Winners for Sophie Kit

2009-09-01T15:13:00.004+10:00

I chose the two winners last night over at DST for my new Sophie Kit it was soooo hard I was overwhelmed with all the beautiful comments so I used one of those number randomiser thingy's to come up with two numbers...much much easier I had to show off this absolutely gorgeous page that one of the winners Punktchen came up with its a such a great idea love it and her clustering and design of the page is just beautiful they both love the kit :)

I also got a comment here too about my newsletter that she couldn't sign up I tried just then with another email of mine and it seemed to work so I'm thinking it was probably just a server glitch at the time if that does happen just try back again a little later.

So here's the beautiful page from Punktchen and a couple of other stunners from my CT too Karen and Moni :)

Juicy Fruit Frame Clusters

2009-08-06T21:20:00.002+10:00

Hey Everyone :)

So you all remember Juicy Fruit my last kit well I decided to release a Frame Cluster Pack to coordinate with the kit. Beckie one of my awesome ct girls created two and I created the other two. There are four clusters but a total of 8 pngs in the pack, each cluster comes as a shadowed and unshadowed version....with the unshadowed version the top layers of the clusters are shadowed for realism. These are now available in all my stores for only $2.99 a steal :)

Check out Beckie's gorgeous layout she created using the two clusters she made and also papers and additional elements from the kit.

New Products and Round 4 for BOTCT

2009-08-06T02:31:00.002+10:00

Well we're up to the 4th and final Round for the BOTCT Contest and its a great assignment this week:

Inspiration Found

This week you must scraplift 2 of your team mates!! Browse through your team mates galleries and look for inspiration! You will only be making one layout this round, but you will be taking a part of one team mates layout and combining it with a part from another team mates layout!

All scraplifts must link to the original layout(s).

Optional: This is another challenge that gives you the opportunity to let your designer shine! Try to come up with a cohesive element in addition to the scraplifts. Maybe your team could use the same color scheme, use a common layout theme or use the same kit. This is the last team challenge and you should go out with a bang! Be original and show us how your team can work together!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what my team comes up with and remember you can check out whats happening over at Digiscrap Addicts forum here

Now onto my new products firstly I have a set of Easy Templates these are for Commercial, Personal or S4H use there are 4 12"x12" layered psd files included these are great for designers to make up quick page sets to coordinate with your kits and for scrappers to come up with gorgeous pages easily. I also have a pack of 3d Alpha Templates for Commercial, Personal or S4H use also perfect for designers to create a gorgeous 3d alpha set to coordinate with your kits or for scrappers to add their own personal touches to their alphas for your layouts. Another three sets of finished 3d Alphas for Personal and S4H use. These are all available in all my stores now.

Back soon and hugz from me! :)

PU Freebie and BOTCT Round 3

2009-07-30T15:21:00.012+10:00

Wow we're already up to Round 3 of the Battle of the Creative Teams and this week is a pretty challenging one at first I thought gahhh thats going to be hard but once we got our list together creating the layout wasn't too bad I decided to play along :). So the assignment is to:

Scrap By Numbers

This week your team must come up with a formula to scrap by. You must use the following numbers 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. You can only use the amount of items in your formula on your layout, no more and no less. Here are a couple of examples: 10-flowers 9-staples 8-buttons 7-journal strips 6-doodles 5-photos 4-papers 3-frames 2-fonts 1-mask Each team can determine their own formula but all the members on the team must follow the same formula (i.e. you do not have to use our examples). You MUST include your formula in your credits and your team thread.

We've already come up with our formula and the Goddesses are busy creating their pages they're turning out fab. Here's my page which I'll be uploading soon to the sidelines gallery :)

Using our formula:

10-flowers
9-staples
8- buttons
7- ribbons
6- Branches with leaves
5 -Frames
4- Photos
3- Fonts
2- papers
1- wave template

So on to the freebie I created a wave template for my girls to use for this challenge and I've decided to give it away to everyone I really love all those layouts around right now using them they look awesome. Its a psd layered file for you to easily clip your paper to and for Personal/Scrap for Hire use only, these are great for blog pages too :)

Please leave some love if you grab this...enjoy!

New PU Product Preview

2009-07-16T20:50:00.002+10:00

Just released a gorgeous pack of "White" papers. I love the look of a nice crisp white background with layouts but they can be so much more lots of possibilities. So for all you paper addicts these would make a great addition to your stashes. You can never go wrong with white these are beautifully textured quality papers a total of 8 jpg files, 4 solids and 4 patterns created at 300dpi. These are for your personal or Scrap for Hire Use and available in my personal store, NDISB, Digiscrapboutique and Digitals :)

New CU Release Bling It

2009-07-14T04:10:00.004+10:00

Just added a new release to all my stores and its Commercial Use. Who doesn't like bling right? These are a set of gorgeous gems and stars that shine and um bling lol. These are a perfect addition to your Designer Resources, they are perfect for flower centers or making gem scatters and trails. They are all individual scans not recoloured, scanned in by me at a very high resolution, extracted and saved at 300dpi. There's 17 pngs in total they are okay for personal and scrap for hire use too. The only thing I ask is that bling or scatter/trail packs are not made with these and resold for personal use because they can easily be extracted but feel free to add them to your kits as is or layered on other elements etc. If you ever have any questions about use of any of my products don't be shy to email me I'm online way too much I'll get back to you pretty quickly :)

Juicy Fruit Kit

2009-07-09T03:08:00.003+10:00

I have a new kit just released that exclusive to Digiscrap Boutique for the month of July in the "Build A Kit" section of the store called Juicy Fruit...what a cute name huh like last month the designers were given a colour palette and theme and this is what I came up with. Its a great idea to be able to go through that topic and mix and match pick up some paper packs and element packs and build your own kit. As always I went overboard with the elements I couldn't stop lol so there's lots of cute pieces in this kit from strawberries to apples an apple tree, ribbons, bows, and a full set of alpha is included in the element pack with Euro, Upper, Lower, Numbers and Symbols. Just a heads up these packs are available separately throughout the month of July at only $2.00 per pack, then all the designers packs get put together and sold as a collab. I also sell my parts in my store over there but I combine the papers and elements into the one purchase, so you won't be able to grab them separately after July.

You can check out the Build A Kit Section Here and the image below is linked too :)

New Kit Summer Oasis

2009-05-24T21:22:00.005+10:00

Hey Everyone :) I have a new kit available called Summer Oasis. Another large kit lots of fun summery, beachy, tropical elements and papers that would fit all your holiday, beach visits etc. pics. It felt a little strange creating a hot summery type kit seeing as I'm freezing my butt off over here lol I really hate the cold so creating the kit and layouts made me wish I was somewhere far away on a hot tropical island, white sands, palm trees, sipping a cocktail and getting a nice tan ahhh I wish lol but back to reality hehe this kit has really gorgeous colours and some unique elements that you won't see in any other kits out there. We actually have huuuge palm trees in out front yard that were a little too bit for me to photograph but we have a gorgeous plumeria plant which flowers frangipani that I've included in this kit....they actually bloomed a couple of months ago now but as soon as they did I snapped some pics because I knew I'd be creating this kit and they'd fit perfectly, also in our bathroom my mum has a collection of seashells so I used some of those too I got some gorgeous turquoise shell chunks and other bits of pieces that I had that fit really well .

There's a total of 17 papers and over 90 unique elements (not recoloured) but I also added a few recoloured elements just a couple of ribbons etc. for those people that don't like to change colours themselves there's a full description in my stores as always. A really cute Palm tree, tropical plants, leaves, lots of gorgeous flowers and branches, buttons, ribbons, string, gorgeous branch/bamboo frames, decorated frames with seashells and wordart. I made 3 alphas. One set is stripey in Uppercase, Euro, Numbers and Symbols then two sets of acrylic flower alphas in lowercase (0ne set has one frangipani and the other has two) you can see the previews below.

As always there's a coordinating brag book and quick page set created by me and a beautiful mini album created by Michelle my CT and a frame cluster pack. I totally enjoyed creating this kit had lots of fun its a beautiful summer collection for you to scrap those fun tropical holiday pics or just pics from a day you've spent at the beach :) My CT have outdone themselves they've created the most gorgeous pages from this kit I've included some of them below and Karen put together a beautiful Quick Page Freebie for you to grab, I'll be back in a min with that for you to grab :)
