Template Tuesday!

Hello, everyone!! Lynette here with another installment of Template Tuesday! I just love Amber's templates. I am a big fan of using them since they make creating a layout so easy and I can move things around to make it my own. This week in your downlad, you get a cool template with a paperstack, cute clustering and a large circle photo:



Here is my interpretation of this fabulous template!



For this layout I used Amber's collab kit with Digilious, About a Boy. It's great, right? You can find it here.

Please click here to download the template, and remember, it's only free for the week!

New Release...My Man

Scrappers sometimes find it easy to scrap pretty pages about the girls and women in their lives, but when it comes to the guys, why is it so hard? We all have favorite boys and men that we want to create pages and projects for. Here's a kit from Amber Shaw that will help you make those fabulous pages. Take a look.

She's given this kit a metallic feel and with a bunch of stars, arrows, and frames, so you'll have no end of wonderful pieces to play with. Look at some of the inspiration from Amber's Gems CT

Template Tuesday Freebie!

Hi, everyone! Are you enjoying Amber's new look as much as I am? I hope so!


I'm Lynette, and I am on Amber's CT... otherwise known as a gem! I love the name. :)

On Tuesdays, Amber and the team offer a template FOR FREE, and it's only available for 1 week! This week is the beautiful template created by Amber, called Wishes:



Isn't it great? I love it, and used it to create a layout featuring my daughter playing in the ocean when we were in Florida back in September. Since it's winter here in Chicago (although unseasonably warm for Chicago right now!), I wanted to think of warmer days. :)

I just happened to also use a great collab kit from Amber and Spinky Dink Scraps, available here at Funky Playground Designs. I hope you like my layout and love the template as much as I do. :) Remember it's only available free for the week and will be gone 01/17/12... so click here to grab it now! Enjoy!

Good Morning!!

Deanna bringing the good news today, and YES it IS VERY good news this morning for at least one of Amber's many fans!  Today is the day we announce the winner of the drawing for Amber's YUMMY new year long project!   Yes, you read that right!  The drawing was for the ENTIRE YEAR of Project 1440 minis!  What a great gift.  There were 19 posts and she used random.org  to find the winner!  It chose #10

 

Congratulations JANA!! Please email designsbyambershaw@gmail.com to obtain your prize.

Though you might not have won anything this time, make sure to check in every Monday to see a sneak of upcoming kits and make a post to be entered to win.  The drawing will then take place on that Friday and the winner announced on Sundays!  What a great way to start out the week Jana!!  I'm sure you'll have a great time with Amber's kits this coming year.  Here is the preview of just the January kit!  Isn't it beautiful?  This kit can be found here.

I've been busy this past week trying to organize my digi stash.  I haven't found a perfect way to do this yet--but I've tried!!  I tried a free program one time and spent hours tagging and then lost all the tags when I moved my stash to my external hard drive.  I tried organizing by store--but that was before I realized designers move around sometimes.  Now I just put everything in folders according to CT>Designer>kit  or NON CT>Designer>Kit.  Then I search for things with the Window Search.  I know there must be a better way to do this, so I'll continue my search for that perfect solution!! 

This is Sunday, so I'll be off to church this morning.  My husband is the organist at our church so I get to listen to all the beautiful music all week as he practices the order of service.  It gets me in a worshipful mood for sure.  It's a great way to start the week!  I hope all the readers here have a wonderful week also!
