Grab yourself a tasty beverage and perhaps a snack, sit back, and enjoy the view!  We'll begin with some brand new artsy products. For those that need a little grunge and for the art journalers the Got Gesso? and Kinda Edgy are a perfect fit!

Got Gesso? Volume 1

Now we will move on and talk about something else that is brand new. You will be swept away by the fresh colors of this stunning new collaboration Winter Berry from Litabells and Studio Flergs. This dynamic duo has put together their creative genius to create this gorgeous holiday collection. 

The Belles have created some amazing pages with the beautiful Winter Berry collection that are sure to inspire you.

Art Is Freedom and Painty Bits Volume 4 are being re-released today and they are the perfect complement to the new Got Gesso? and Kinda Edgy. Be sure and snag these art inspired trinkets for you stash while they are on sale.

Last minute?

Ok...who's with me? Last minute rushing around for holiday gift ideas for school or the office? Jand here and I have been madly scanning websites and especially Pinterest lately looking for ideas for things I can make easily and fairly cheaply to give as teacher gifts for my kids and myself. So, I thought I'd share some of the things I've found and maybe help out someone else in the same situation I'm in right now :/ All images are linked to the original sites.

This is just too cute for younger ones on your list, or school...playdough with glitter in jars to look like candy canes

Such a pretty ornament and great gift for a music lover

 

These little snowmen would be a great gift that the kids can help out in making

These I found a while back and what a great way to recycle Pringles cans...we go through lots of those!

I give several Starbucks gift cards every year...this is such a cute idea for wrapping them!!

And this is the one that I'm really hoping to have time to do for some of my coworkers! Cute Citrus Salt Scrub.

I truly hope that each and everyone of you has a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

Where I Stand - 2012 Calendar Freebie

Hi everyone,
Di here, and today I have a cute little 2012 Calendar Freebie, just in time for you to pop in with your Christmas Cards, or to send as a special gift to friends or grandparents. I have made the calendar with one of my favourite of Lita's kits, Where I Stand.

Here is your freebie!  Simply click on the image, or the link below.

 Download here

After dropping in my photos, I've printed my calendar onto magnet paper, and I will include one in each of the grandparents christmas packages this year.  The magnet will attach to the fridge, and they will have a constant reminder of their granddaughter.  The size is A5 (or roughly 210x148mm or 8.3x5.8in), but the calendar can be resized to suit.  If you make it smaller and print on card, it could be used as a purse or wallet calendar.  The possibilities are endless.

If you download and use the calendar, I'd love to see what you've done.  So link us up at Lita's gallery at Scrap Orchard.

Enjoy your week!

Christmas Blessings Blog Freebie

Hi everyone, Di here! Wishing everyone who celebrates a Happy Thanksgiving.  Hope you've all had a wonderful day.

With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I'd make you all a little cluster frame that you can use on your Christmas layouts or in your Christmas albums.  I've used Lita's gorgeous Christmas Blessings kit that she collabed on with Rachel from Captivated Visions.  I just love the warm muted colours.  If you haven't yet purchased this kit, you can head over to Lita's store at Scrap Orchard to pick it up.

Download here

Don't forget to upload your pages with Lita's goodies to her Scrap Orchard gallery, we'd love to see what you've created.

Have a wonderful weekend.
