Happy New Year and a New Blog Train

As part of the new year, I decided to join a few more blog trains. One is the Leigh Penrod Digitals and Friends blog train, and the other is a templates blog train that takes off on the first Saturday of the month.

I wish you all a happy, healthy new year filled with joy and laughter, and plenty of time to scrapbook!

Joy of Christmas by The Urban Fairy

I'm back with another fantastic release from The Urban Fairy. This collection, Joy of Christmas, is so full of lovely goodies, and very versatile. It is on sale now at 56% off, with the whole collection coming in at under $9!

Why do I love The Urban Fairy's products so much? In addition to the high-quality images, she has such a fantastic artsy flair and that shows up in her products. Her collections just speak to me on a level not always found with others. She embeds a sense of humor and a dose of real life in her art. It sometimes feels as if we are kindred spirits.

This collection can be found at The Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

Some pages for inspiration:

See how versatile? I created a Chanukah page from a Christmas collection! Template by the ever-so-fabulous Heartstrings Scrap Art (Patchwork Pieces 2D). Her templates can also be found at The Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

You can find The Urban Fairy on Facebook HERE.
And while you're there, join her fan group- there are tons of layout ideas and freebies to be had HERE!

Happy scrapping!

Winter Memories by The Urban Fairy

The Urban Fairy has a fantastic new collection out today- Winter Memories! This collection is SO beautiful. All the CT went nuts over it! It is so refreshing to have a kit that is JUST winter, and not holiday-themed! So many of the pieces here are incredibly versatile.

You can get the entire Winter Memories kit right now for 65% off at The Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

December Pixel Scrapper Commercial Use Blog Train

I decided to participate in the Pixel Scrapper December Commercial Use Blog Train- I've been short on time, but thought about what I would want to use for commercial use if I had the chance... so I bring you three items that are perfect for winter. There is even a fourth goodie in the zip file. ;)

You can download from Google Drive HERE.

Happy scrapping!
