July Blog Train – At The Park

It is once again time for the Stuff to Scrap blog train!  Don’t you all just love the first of every month?!  I did a couple more templates for you this time again.  The Stuff to Scrap blog train is open to anyone and it is a great way to drive traffic to your blog and to gain experience.  Join us for the next train that will be in the station on August 1st.  Details are in the Stuff to Scrap forum in the challenge section. 
So, here is a look at the two templates I made for you.  You can click the image for a direct download, but since it is sometimes busy when the train first gets here, you may want to wait a couple days if it isn’t working, or you can click HERE for an alternate 4shared link.  I upgraded my 4shared account for direct links, so you shouldn’t have to wait for the countdown if I did it right.

Ride the Waves by AmyDane Designs

I had so much fun working with this fun water kit.  The color palette is from the May Build A Kit and it is now combined in a full kit for you to use.  Here is my layout.  It’s one of my favorites that I’ve done for a while plus I just love getting old pictures scrapped instead of sitting in books not done.  These were from 2004.

Here is a look at their kit that is on sale for $2.50 this week.  Image is linked to the store.

and while we are talking about Build A Kits, the coupon for 1/2 off the the June BAK’s including our Night Games pieces  is only good for a couple more days, so make sure you snatch up all of those that you want before the end of this month.  Coupon code for 1/2 off when you buy any 3 or more pieces from any designer is JUNEBAK_BUY3_SAVEHALF

Plus, the CU doodles we made when creating the kit are available in a CU pack (not part of the coupon)

2_dollar_tuesdays
This week we are putting in two of our scout kits for $2 Tuesday.  Be Prepared (girl scout kit) and Do A Good Turn Daily (cub scout kit) along with the QP pack.
Images are linked




You can't beat the bargains of $2.00 Tuesday at Stuff to Scrap!  This Tuesday AmyDane Designs has two fantastic kits and a Quick Page pack in the bin!  Go HERE to find the $2.00 bargains at STS!

One of their biggest sellers, Graffiti, is on sale for only $2.00 and since this kit is a MEGA KIT this is an amazing deal! Teen grunge is the best way to describe this very masculine kit.  But of course there are a few flowers so you can create hip girl layouts as well.
The Graffiti Quick Page pack is just as big as the kit itself! There are 13 different 12x12 quick pages!


I Am A Survivor is an amazing Cancer Fighting/Relay for Life kit. But with these bright colors you can create pages for birthdays and everyday celebrations as well!

FREE full sized kit

It’s my birthday on Monday (tomorrow) and we are celebrating with a full sized kit and a sale.  Monday only, you can get our expanded I Wish I Was A Fish kit for FREE at  Stuff to Scrap.  This was originally a mini kit that we did last summer for the color challenge, so some of you may have part of it, but it is now a full sized kit with lots of fun new papers, new elements and now includes a full alpha!  Click on the image below to pick up the kit for free on Monday.  We’d love to see any layouts with this kit in the gallery!

Also, you can pick up a kit of your choice with coupon SNPbirthday on Monday for 43% off since that just might be how old I am turning.  This does not include our High School Memories kit, but anything else is fair game.

Girls Night Out

This kit has been in my head and on our schedule for probably over a year and I could never come up with the right color palette.  At first I was going to go with some soothing spa colors, but those colors didn’t work for all the elements I ended up wanting to add.  Then I had one that would work with polish and lipstick, but it was way too girly girly for me and I didn’t end up liking it.  So, I finally found some colors I liked and therefore finally did this kit.  Whether your idea of a fun time is a night on the town with dinner, dancing and a movie, or if you are into crafting like quilting, knitting, crocheting or scrapbooking, or if you are totally into games like Bunco, Rook, Bridge or any other card game.  Maybe your idea of a girls day is a manicure/pedicure and some shopping.  Whatever it is, I think we pretty much have you covered with this kit.  It is on sale for $2.50 this week and cardstocks purchased at the same time as kit are only $1 with coupon code SNPGNO  Hope you enjoy it!

Our CT did so awesome with this kit!  Take a look at these and I’ll have some more for you in a couple days when we have our freebies for you.

newwendy

Hi there,
My name is Wendy Tunison.  I'm a SAHM to 3 crazy, beautiful daughters who absolutely rule my world.  I have been a SAHM for the past 8 years and now that all of my kids are in school, I'm not sure what to do with myself.   But don't you worry, I'm sure I'll think of something!  ;)  I love to scrapbook and after taking a year away from it, I am excited to be scrapping again.  I started scrapping when my oldest daughter was born and you should see the amazing sticker sneezes on those first pages!  I was awesome!  It wasn't until a few years later when my second daughter was born that I discovered real scrapbooking (you know, punches and die cut machines) and decided to put a little more time into it.  Well, one more daughter later (and the discovery of stamps), a little more time turned into a full time business and soon I filled our backyard studio with scrapping supplies and for five years I taught scrapping classes a few times each week.  Then about 3 years ago, I discovered digital scrapping and well, let's just say there's some serious dust in that studio now along with a whole pile of neglected supplies.  Yep, I got the digi bug and haven't looked back.  I was hooked.  I digi scrapped like crazy and got pretty much caught up on all my pictures.  That felt good.  Then my dad had a stroke last year and I had to step away from everything to help my mom with dad for a while.  Now I'm back to scrapping again and it feels good to put words to paper and to open photoshop every day!   When I'm not scrapping, I coach Jr. High Softball and grade school soccer in our very small NW Montana town.  In my downtime, I love to camp, read, bead and knit.  And if you have children, you know that downtime only happens after bedtime or in the early morning hours (ok...and sometimes in the car during long road trips when they all miraculously fall asleep at the same time)!  LOL!   Oh and one more thing you should know about me, I'm so excited to be joining the Scraps 'N Pieces CT!  Woot!  Woot!

See you on Monday with a few more CT layouts and some freebies!
