New Year, New Scrapbook!

I have found over the years, that I am now tending to do more Photobooks than just general scrapbook pages. I love getting it all set to go in January and then just completing monthly pages as the year goes by. I also do Holiday albums and Vacation albums. In honour of the New Year and getting set, here are some products that will get you ready to go! (All on SALE too!!  The Month by Month book is 50% off- at 4.98 it's a deal!!) And on Thursday, I have three more NEW products coming all in the same theme!

Handy Frames Showcase

Handy Frames Complete Set

Handy Frames Labels

Handy Frames Neutrals

Handy Frames SentimentsHandy Frames Colorful

The Handy Frames package was so fun to work on , but even more rewarding has been seeing the team put these kits to use! I always love to see my kits in use in ways that I never imagined. The creativity of other people always makes me so inspired! Here are some of the amazing pages that the Decorators over at Design House Digital have put together.

Irreplaceable You by Ulla May

I was blown away by Ulla May's artistry in the page above. The soft textures, the photo treatment, the blending and the use of the frame as a center highlight was perfect! LOVED it!

She Rocks by Susan Haglund

Susan used only photos and the frames on top in her amazing page. No paper! It has su ch afun feel to it and the colorful frames work so well with her adorable pictures of her daughter.

Irreplaceable You by Heather Guenther

I love the soft beach feel to Heather's page She chose to use of neutral tan frames to accent all beach tones on her layout. Doesn't her page just make you want to take a vacation? It makes me want to head to the beach!

A Loving Moment by Angie Delgadillo

Angie used one of the plain white outline frames to accent her single photo on her page. What a fun way to use a single photo and make it pop!

Waiting by Kym Tsukamoto

Isn't Kym's page stunning? She used the same frame that Angie did above her but has such a different feel on the stark white background. This would be perfect framed and hung up. Or imagine a whole alm of favourite photos done like this?

The Belly by Jamie Pate

This time Jamie has used the frames on a hybrid page. How cool is this? Also notice that she took the frames and used them all going half off the edges! What a fun idea!

The Handy Frames collection is sure to be a set that get used again and again. As you can see the variations in using the frames is never ending!

New Products Thursday

Over at Design House Digital (DHD) new products are released on Thursdays. Maryann has some gorgeous beach kits   (the shell/sand dollar brushes are amazing!) that I know I'm going to be using! It's been a beach kind of July here so far! As for me, I have a set of Handy Frames so-called as I hand drew them. They are so fun. I really enjoyed put this set together and hope you like it too!

Lots of changes!

I took a year off of blogging and have made it a goal over the next 6 weeks or so to do a re-build of my blog and keep it current with my latest projects and kits. A lot has happened in the past year. I have changed shops and am now over at Design House Digital. I am thrilled to be with Jen and the team and after a few months have settled in now. So, in celebration I have a display of some of newest kits and a coupon code! Enter the code KateBlog at the checkout to receive 25% off all of my products in the shop! This code is good until July 10th.

Onto some of my favourite kits at Design House Digital (or DHD for short)
