New! Three Commercial Use Products

2011-01-27T23:07:00.000-08:00

Hello friends!

I hope you are having a great week! I'm excited to share that I have a three commercial use goodies up in the shop today (and just in time for all your valentines day products)!! Two of them are a couple of my very favorite alphabet collections that I decided to release for commercial use. These would seriously make a unique and awesome addition to your designing stash. Last, I have a collection of love themed elements that were originally part of one of my CU grab bags, but never released once the grab bag came down (I know! Epic fail on my part, lol)! SO...I decided to bring them back! I think they are lovely, and I'm sure you will too!

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend! xoxo, holly

But, I will still be around, posting updates for you, a freebie or two, and all that good stuff.

I hope you are as excited as I am, and that you'll join me for this new adventure of mine! You can always email me (hollydesign@comcast.net) with any questions, etc.

Have a wonderful week and I'll see you soon! xoxo, holly

New Release: Spring Concerto Collab

2010-03-05T18:23:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! Hope you've had a swell week! Today I have a couple things to share with you!

First, I want to thank everyone who went out and bought the 'One Love' charity collab for Haiti! The tragedy in Haiti has been so heartbreaking,and as a designer, it was so rewarding to be able to contribute to a collab for such a great cause.

BUT, one thing is for sure, we couldn't have done it without the amazing fans/customers like you! You went out and bought the kit, and because of YOU we were able to make an amazing donation, that not even I could have expected! The total amount of money that we donated to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund was: $11.326.10

That is so wonderful! Thank you all so much!

Here are copies of the three donations made :)

Next, a new Shabby Collective is out today! It's called Spring Concerto and is so soft and beautiful! It's also a steal at 50% off for the next week, so be sure to snatch it up! Here are some previews and layout inspiration from my team! Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you again on Monday :) xoxo

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great week! I'm doing pretty well! Sorry for being MIA with my blog for the past couple weeks. I've been a busy busy bee:) In addition to some stuff on the home front, I have been working on re-designing the shabby pickle site, and much more! Be sure to ...check out the shop! :)

I also have lots of new stuff in the works ( two new kits, another huge site collab, and a collab with one of my FAV designers ever coming out next week!)

This week, I'm so pleased to bring you 'Sweet Escape'. I love the colors and vibe to this kit. It can totally work for any tropical/spring/summer/vacation pics, but I also love it for about me pages (or any other fun sort of page).

Mid- Week Mixer: Landscapes

2010-01-06T12:13:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great week!

Today I wanted to share with you a little site called Landscapes! If you are interested in Landscape photography, this is a wonderful source of inspiration. I personally love admiring landscape photos. There is a quote on the website that I think sums up the appeal of landscape photography quite well:

...Nature in all its fascinating beauty: mountains, sea, rivers, cliffs, sunset, snow, sand, desert and city parks, oasis and windy roads. Photos from all corners of the world, gathered during trips and travelings.

Here are a couple photos from Landscapes (images are linked). Be sure to check out the site for many more gorgeous photos! Have a wonderful week and I will see you on Friday with a new collab!! xoxo, holly

Mid- Week Mixer: Freebie!

2009-12-02T01:43:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody! I hope you are having a great week! Mine wasn't too bad, except I got a really bad paper cut yesterday (actually, it's pretty deep, so I don't know if it counts as a paper cut, lol. But I cut myself with paper, haha). OMG, it hurt so bad. I was actually on the verge of tears, lol. I was whimpering like a toddler does before they burst into tears, lol.

You must think I'm a total lightweight, haha. But the location makes it worse. It actually cut a little bit under my finger nail, like on the side where the nail ends. I guess it is hard to explain, lol. Yeah, you prolly don't care anyway, lol. I'm here writing a TWO paragraphs about a paper cut, lol! Sorry! Gosh, now that I bored you the death, lol...

Anyway, I have a little goodie for you today! Available for 2 days only! It's my part from a collab I did as a guest at Scrapartist this past summer. I've never released my part individually, so you can't find this anywhere else. I have it here just for you, my fantastic bloggies! --bloggies, hehe..is that a word? It is now, lol!--

Okay, I think it's time I stop writing, lol. It's a little too late at night, and I've had a little too much sugar, lol. Catch you all later this week! xoxo, holly

Oh, and just for some inspiration, in case you are craving some, lol. Here are a couple layouts my team did using 'Naturally' (fyi, these are from the summer and may include items from the rest of the collab ;)

Forester's Wish Charity Collab
a CHARITY MEGA COLLAB to support Forester (http://thebradburns.blogspot.com) who in February had a malignant brain tumor removed and has finished his first six weeks of chemo and radiation. He is heading to DisneyWorld as this kit is released for his "Make A Wish" trip.

This HUGE and incredible collaboration began as a kit to scrap their memories into a Forester's Wish Trip book and now it is offered for sale to you! The proceeds will go to the family to pay medical expenses.
