A Freebie, and 4 new kits.

I'm terrible, aren't I? I just go AWOL without warning, and then you guys all feel like spanking me, don't you? (hmmm, on second thought, maybe I just do it for the spankings, what do you think?)

Aaaanyway, I debuted at SBG on September the 1st, and I've been having a blast! It's been such a wonderful experience, I'm thrilled to have my Studio open! Plus Megs is there to hold my hand, which has been a major help!
And I kicked it off in the best possible way, with 3 (yes, THREE) spanking new collabs!

The first one with Megs (none other than the flergs, as my husband would say) is called Squeeee!:

I went a tad overboard on this one, and made 7 additional alphas, available individually or as an 8 alpha pack:


Then I teamed up with my friend Nicole, of the Sugarplum Paperie, and thought people might enjoy a glass of Chilled Wine:

Finally, my friend Franziska Altmann and I got together to bring you some cardboard-y goodness in the form of Free Spirit:

BUT, that's not all! After all of these collabs, I went out and made a kit of my own, brand new - Kiss and Tell, debuting today at SBG:

and then I just had to go and make a matching Kiss and Tell freebie for you guys:

And, because it's been so long since I've blog, here's a coupon to pick up Kiss and Tell with a 20% discount:

The code is KissingGame (in case the image decides to go missing).

Whew! I really shouldn't go this long without blogging, I'm exhausted just by the sheer length of this post!

And on other, bittersweet news, this will be my last release at Sunshine Studio (althought I will still be around to spank everyone there ). My ES store has just closed and my store at Sun will be open until the end of the month and, after that, I'm psyched to anounce I'll be selling at SBG along Megs! Can I get a squee?

Enjoy guys! I have something exciting in the works, let's see if I can get out of Lazy Cow mode and not take a whole month doing it! :D

I Opened My Grab Bag!

Er... that was actually a week ago, I probably should have said something sooner, eh? Go me! (Insert eye rolling smilie here.) Well, in my defense, I did warn you I was an idiot a few posts back, lol.

Anyway, this is what was included in my grab bag, now available separately (Pics are clickable):

In warm autumn colours, Autumn Sunset is an understated mini kit perfect for making your photos the true focus of your layouts. Autumn Sunset includes:
6 Individually Textured Papers.

2 Polaroid Frames.
1 Ribbon Flower.
2 Ribbon Stitching.
1 Rub On.
2 Swirl Stitches.
1 Full Alpha with Uppercase, Lowercase, Numbers, Symbols, Special and International Characters, and full sheets as well as individual characters for your commodity. A total of 164 characters.

Perfectly matching Discovery: the Brush Alpha and Discovery: the Alpha, Discovery sends us back to another time, of faded, inkstained maps and ancient photographs. Discovery Includes:

A Spring-feel brown alpha that's floral without being necessarily girly! Uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols and special characters.

14 individually textured papers in all 7 colours of the rainbow, 7 bright and 7 more muted ones, peeled back to reveal the cardboard underneath. Is beauty really only skin deep?

12 individually textured multicolored papers decorated with gradients and bright splashes of color. Bold, colorful and daring, these papers will make your LO come to life!

Whew! As Bugs Bunny would say, & that's all, folks!

My first ever grab bag! Plus QPs, a new kit and... a FREEBIE!

Also available as separate elements and paper packs.


Finally (whew!) here's the coordinating freebie!

I'm an idiot!

I'm an idiot!

Yup, I am! What would you guys say if I told you that I have been so out of it that I completely forgot to blog that the Sunshine Girls (and Guy, let's not forget my lovely hubby who has been posting here so that my blog won't just fade into oblivion!) finally managed to open shop - Sunshine Studio Scraps? You'd say "You idiot!" in your best Dr. House voice, wouldn't you? Yup, I would too. I have, actually, lol! I know I got Vasco to post that we were opening but, after that, I didn't say a word! What did I tell you? I'm an idiot! ;)

So, to make it up to you guys, I bring you both a freebie and a coupon. But, first, let me show you my new fan blinkie, and also what has been keeping me busy:

My wonderful friend and head CT Jeannette, aka Nett, aka Lady_Grundlefunk, is a hidden blinkie making marvel! Look what she made for me, isn't it gorgeous? I'm in love!

As far as new products are concerned, let's start with my Cinnamon Breeze kit:

Also available in separate Elements and Papers packs.



The Alpha in Cinnamon Breeze is a multicoloured one, and I liked the end result so much I ended up making an 8 Alpha Pack, each in their own colour. Did I mention I'm an alphaholic?

Next are boxes, boxes and more boxes. But, because boxes don't like to be alone, they come with tears, curls, rubber bands and even custom drop shadows in separate pngs. Oh, and some clusters too. Build-A-Box 1:

And Build-A-Box 2:

Or you can get Build-A-Box 1 & 2 together and save yourself $1:

"Enough with the product previews already, where is my coupon?" I hear you saying.

Go to my Sunshine Studio Scraps store at any time between now and the end of the month and enter the code YouIdiot! to get 25% off everything, including CU.

And you have the added benefit of insulting me for not having told you about Sunshine Studio Scraps! You can use it up to twice per person so, in case you use it and forget to get something, you can still grab it at a discount! Enjoy your freebie, and I'll try and pay more attention to my poor neglected blog, promise

"And the freebie?" Here it is, it's a mini kit that coordinates with my collab with the lovely Studio Flergs, What Dreams May Come. You can click on the image or on the download link to get it.
