New kit and a freebie... AGAIN!

Yay, I told you, news was on its way! The new kit had to be released by today, cause it was my turn to design the Friday freebie, and I made an add-on for this new kit for the occassion. First things first: here is the kit!


Couch Cuddles is inspired by my daughter. I was playing with the colors for this kit and created some papers, but couldn't make them work together. There was no theme in my head, and I struggled to make it match. Then my daughter, who was watching tv, suddenly out of nowhere wanted to cuddle! Sooo sweet, and I got really inspired by that! So, here's a sweet kit, with lots of love and tender hugs. Enjoy!

*available at Scrapable *

Here is some CT inspiration:

by Jana (featuring her first grandson, ain't he CUTE!?)

by Fleur

by Ryan (see, perfect for sweet cuddly pictures!)

If you're still not sure you want this kit (whaaat?? How can that be! LOL), you can go to the Scrapable forum. If you are a member there, you can get a weekly freebie, and this time it is mine!

I apologize for the messed up preview, the dropshadows and strokes are way out of line, but that's what you get for working with a deadline, I guess... *shame shame* Anyway, there's 4 additional papers and 6 additional elements in this add-on, PLUS a coupon to get the kit for -25%! So go grab that freebie, take the coupon and get the kit after! (ends August 31st) Happy scrapping!!

The last thing I want to show you, are these lovely layouts I received with Captured. Aparently the people that worked with it couldn't stop themselves LOL Enjoy!

More news on Friday!

Captured + freebie!!

Remember my one-kit call for my latest kit 'Captured'? Well, I was OVERWHELMED by the response, and even had to close the call early. I took on more people then I expected, and still had to let some people go... :( I'm so sorry, but you will all find something good in your mailboxes tomorrow ;)

Soooo, the kit is alive and available for sale, but let me show you some great LO's first:

They all did such a good job with this kit! Thanks everybody!!
And what about a freebie to boot? Evie aka Flutterbye Faery Designs was so sweet, she created 2 QP's with this kit, for you! Be sure to leave her some love when you download!

Rock on Hula Sistas!!

Baby Lizard

This is not a new kit, but it deserves a new blogpost, and I'll tell you why!

A while ago Shari (aka Doohikey Designs) and I teamed up to create a lovely boys kit. We called it Baby Lizard (actually Shari came up with this name, but I don't know why anymore LOL), that just seemed to fit the pallet we chose to work with! It became a fun kit with lizards, frogs and cute boys stuff. Then we sold it at Digital Paper Hearts. When I moved to Scrapable, repackaging this kit went to my to-do-list, and it stayed there... But thank goodness, Shari saw a way to create a new preview and make this kit look even better and cuter!!

So, I'm promoting it again, and this time it means soooo much to me to have this kit, cause I hope to be able to scrap some cute babyboy pages with it at the end of the year!! YAY!

So, this kit is available at Scrapable, and it contains:

20 papers
a bracket
2 buttons
1 corner cluster
1 stitch
1 dotted circle frame
1 circle frame
1 rectangular frame
1 house element
2 paper leafs
1 mini star (with shadow)
1 piece of string
2 tags (also tied together with string)
1 paper tree
3 bling elements
2 cute frog faces
1 felt turtle
3 lizards (1 rub on, 1 gel and 1 painted wood)
2 ric racs
1 cute baby-boy tag
2 full alphas!

Can you believe Shari even put it on a -15% sale?? Go grab it now!!

One kit call!

I have finished another kit, called Captured. Although I have a perfectly fine CT (those girls are GREAT, they gave me wonderful feedback! MWAH!), I wanted to do a one-kit-call with it, to see what other people would do with this kit. I think it is a slightly different style then I'm used to, like someone said to me: this pregnancy gets my creative juices flowing!!

Ow, btw (reallllly off topic, hope you don't mind!): have I told you the sex of our little babe-in-belly yet? We're going to have a BOY! We are soooo happy! Of course the most important thing is that the ultrasound didn't show anything unusual, all the things were in the right place, everything was working perfectly fine. And then we found out our girl is going to be a big sister to a BOY! I bought the first blue babyclothes today, and cleaned out Leonie's closet: 3 boxes of pink clothes to the attic ;)

Ok, back to business LOL Here's the kit! (and a word-art pack to match)

And here's what I posted at DST:

I am looking for a few people to scrap at least 1 LO or project with my soon-to-be-released kit Captured. If you can see yourself working with this kit and word-art pack, then please e-mail me (biebels1 at gmail dot com) or PM me with a link to your gallery and/or blog, and I'll get back to you asap! (give me some time, cause I'm probably in another timezone )

the basics:

* create at least 1 LO or hybrid project

* upload to DST, Scrapable and 1 gallery of your choice OR your blog

* let me show off your work on my own blog

* be done by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, so I can release the kit on Wednesday

* have fun!!

So, if you're in to it, let me know!! If you like the kit but don't have time to scrap yet, I'm planning on releasing this kit on Wednesday, and you know what kind of day that is at Scrapable, right? *wink wink*

I am half way there!

Today I am exactly 20 weeks pregnant, yahooooooo! Next Wednesday we will have another ultrasound (that is common here in The Netherlands, we have one at 12 weeks and one at 20 weeks). We hope to find out the sex of our baby then, I'm so excited!

So, to celebrate I have something special. Let me first show you my newest release: Summer all the way!

Summer all the way {the kit}

This swatch was given away in the SYTYCD contest, but I chose another one then. I had started some papers though, but couldn't make it into a cohesive kit. Now those colors suddenly came together, and they made me think of SUMMER (which is something that we currently miss in The Netherlands, this weather looks more like FALL!). So, here you go, a summer kit :D

the close-ups:

Normally I include an alpha with the kit, but with this kit I created 4 seperatly available alphas. So you can pick your own alpha to match! Or you could just buy a single alpha, it's your pick!!

the alpha bundle

Thick Paint alpha

Dot Me alpha

Girly Toons alpha

Mellow alpha

Ok, and now the celebration part:

You can get all of the new releases for -20% till next Friday!

Time Stood Still - new kit

Meet my latest kit: Time Stood Still. Maybe some of you recognize the title or a few items, 3 papers and 3 elements were my submission in the Scrapmatters Design Contest. I still wish I would have made it past round 1 in that contest, but I can see now my 1st submission was a bit dull. So that's why I added to that mini, to make it a full size kit!

available at Scrapable (and if you get it today, you get it for -35%!!)

And this is what my CT did with this kit! I love them!!
