digi-scrapping stuff

I'm sure there will be more new goodies to drool over in the next few days. I am finding it real hard to keep up with anything new at Scrapbook-Bytes store, without the "new items" function in the store - I hope the designers will be more committed to sending notice and previews of new things through the announcement yahoo group to compensate.

Kinda sorry to hear that Bree Clarkson is taking a break from designing for a time, but totally wishing her all the best for her family stuff. It does, however, mean that she has her goodies on close-out at the Scrapbook-Elements store for a short time, with most of the paper packs for just $1; yes, I bought a couple - Cuppa Joe, and this one . . .



Lots of new things all the time at Scrapbook-Elements, actually. They are hosting their own chats and challenges, and Sunni sent an email yesterday to point out some great crafting instructions, including some for a fabulous exploding album. I've already printed these out, as I have seen one of these in real life (one of the ladies in our Thursday night scrapping group brought along one she had made - it was awesome!) and have been dying to have a go at making one myself.

And get over to the Epson site and download some fabulous freebie goodies from Holly McCaig (aka the DigiChick), Ronna Penner, and Rhonna Farrer. The files are separated into self-extracting zip files, which is a bit of a pain, but well worth the effort.

Heather Ann has updated her website to look more Autumn-ish, and she used her own gorgeous Fabulous Fall kit to do it too. She is one stylish lady, talented and totally sweet (I enjoy her blog too).



I finally got to Carrie Stephens' site to pick up her latest freebie, and a kit I have had my eye on since she released it. I love her artsy-whimsical style, just hope I can do them justice and relax with a non-clean-and-simple layout for once. This is the freebie, but you have to have an account in her store to pick it up.



And one new thing I did manage to catch at the SBB store today, some very fun splotchy brushes from TracyAnn Robinson. These would be great on fun kids' layouts, or even making your own grungy background papers.



And you know there are less than 50 days till Christmas, and lots of wonderful christmassy kits appearing all over the place - I am trying so hard not to buy any until I see the most of them, and just choose a few! So I am making a list (checking it twice LOL), and will have to blog some this week before the list becomes unmanageable - so stay tuned.

Wonder what goodies I will find notice for in my inbox in the morning? 'Nite all.
