Now for my announcement! I'm so excited and thrilled to announce that I have been chosen to be a part of Scrappy Creations by Melanie's CT!! Melanie and I have been on a couple of CTs together, and she is such a sweet and wonderful person. Recently, she struck out on her own in the designing world and started her own store at Digiridoo Scraps. Her work in nothing short of amazing. Here are her new releases for this week...

Make Mine a Double

Aren't those terrific? Here's what I did with one of the templates.

And, as if one set of double templates weren't enough, Melanie also created "Loverly," too. I think you're going to love it! Here it is...

You can also find more about Melanie and what she is up to by checking out her blog here. She is offering a fun monthly contest with 2 free templates each month (one released on the first of the month and the other on the 15th), and all you have to do is 'like' her Facebook page. Here's a little looky loo at what I did with her most recent Facebook freebie...

One for the ladies!

I know I say this almost every time, BUT Tanya of Crossbone Cuts Designs has once again outdone herself. Just when I think she can't possibly make a cuter, more versatile kit, she comes up with something AMAZING! This week's new release is a collaboration with WM[squared] Designs named For Her. Take a peek at the bundle...

Isn't that terrific? I love the colors, and sunburst papers are probably my all time favorite because of the dimension they add to a layout. So, here's what I did with the bundle using Cindy Schneider's Half Pack 28 template.

With this layout, I also used Tanya's Save for Web Action and her Shadow Like Tanya shadow styles. I don't think I could scrap without either product. They have both been around for awhile, but if you don't have them already, you really should grab them. (Images are linked.)

...and Shadow Like Tanya...

Aren't those terrific? Click on the images above to go right to the ScrapMatters store to pick them up, and while you are there, grab For Her - The Bundle. It is 33% off through Sunday.

Let's Collage It with Crossbone Cuts Designs!

Tanya of Crossbone Cuts Designs has some AMAZING templates for you this week as part of ScrapMatters' May 2012 Mix-A-Kit!

Collage It! 4x6 templates are so versatile. You can use them to create any size scrapbook page of your own, notecards, and EVEN holiday cards. I know I will be using them when the holidays roll around this year to scrap my cards.

I used just one of these wonderful templates to create a double page layout.

Just by rotating my canvas 90 degrees, I was able to come up with two distinctly different pages.

Here's a close up of the left side...

...and the right side.

I know you'll want to hurry right over to the ScrapMatters to pick these up! So, click right -->HERE<-- to be whisked away to the store!
