Just wanted to jump online real quick and wish you all a very Happy Halloween!

(Like my photo? lol I edited it in Picnik and used one of Flergs’ frames and tags from her Spookilicious MEGA COLLECTION.)

Have a great night and be safe!

Jolly Holiday!

Ellie — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 08:36:27 +0000

I finally have something new! Aren’t you surprised?

I started my Christmas decorating today, so I’m totally feeling in the holiday spirit! It probably helps that I’ve been working on this kit for a while now, too. Everything is 40% off on Saturday and 30% off on Sunday. (This bundle will be 50% off on Saturday and 40% off on Sunday, just to give a little extra savings.)

And here are the individual extras…

And some layouts by my awesome CT and the lovely SUN CT girls!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Homemade Christmas

Ellie — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 07:39:29 +0000

I’m late posting this week, but I wanted to let you know about my latest kit. I had a conversation with my mom last week. It went like this:

Me: I’m just finishing up a new collaboration kit! You’ll never guess who I’m working with.

Mom: Oh? Who are you working with?

Me: You!

Mom: Oh… Um… Me? Really? *confused pause*

LOL My poor mom. A few years ago she sent me a bunch of drawings that she had watercolored. I was going through them recently and discovered that several of them were Christmas themed. Perfect! She had told me back when she gave them to me that I could use them in my designing, but last year I hadn’t been able to find them (we were in the middle of moving and I couldn’t find my own head, let alone anything else), so I took advantage of them this year.

All of the patterned papers in this kit are hand-drawn by my mom, as are several of the elements. It’s a little different than my usual kits, but I love it!

It’s 50% off this weekend to make up for the fact that I didn’t have anything new out on DSD weekend, and since I’m late posting I’ll keep it at 50% off through Tuesday.

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

Sweet & Spooky

Dawn of Daybreak Scraps and I have teamed up for her guest stay at Sunshine Studio. Dawn is awesome and was so great to work with AND I think our kit turned out really cute, too! It’s in Dawn’s shop at SUN for the month of October and you can get it for 30% off this weekend!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Grab Bag, New Kits, Guest Spot!

Ellie — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 08:27:15 +0000

Wow, July has just begun but it’s already started as one of the busiest months this year for me! I have a lot of new stuff this weekend, including a new grab bag and a guest spot at one of my favorite stores. This grab bag has six new items. They will only be available through the grab bag and will be retired at the end of the month. If you want to see what’s inside beforehand check out the product page – there are previews of everything in the extra images. Just $3!

I also have a new kit called Goodnight Bedbugs! It’s got all kinds of cute little bugs with great big eyes in it! Just drawing them made me laugh! :lol: There are a few extra items that have been put together in a bundle, too. The kit and extra items (word art, styles, and extra bugs) are all 30% off this weekend, but you can save 40% by purchasing the bundle.

Here are some layouts by my awesome creative team (and Anne Quade of Fishbowl Designs)!

So that’s what’s going on at Sunshine Studio, but this month I’m also a guest at…

I’m so excited! I love ScrapMatters. I sold there way back in the beginning and I just adored everyone there. I’m really pleased to be getting a chance to go back for a bit. To open the month with I created a kit in honor of the Fourth of July. It (and all of the extras – word art, frame clusters, solid papers, styles, and extra alphas) are on sale this weekend for 30% off, but if you buy the bundle you can save 46%! Check it out!

Visual Legacies (& a Freebie)

Ellie — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:20:27 +0000

Hi everyone! I normally don’t post much about my children, but I wanted to show some photos that I received today. About a year or so ago I met a wonderful lady online named Larissa. She’s a photographer and recently we got together and she took some photos of my boys. She was so awesome with them and she got some really great photos! Here are a few of my favorites…

Didn’t they turn out great?! If you’re in or around Mesa, AZ and want to have some photos done, I would totally recommend Larissa! Check out her site: Visual Legacies

I also have some holiday gift tags for you!

Thanks for stopping by!

To those of you who celebrate it, have a wonderful Thanksgiving. To those who don’t, have a super weekend!

Thanksgiving Word Doodles

Ellie — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:02:54 +0000

Thanks to all who answered my question about dressing kids alike for photos. We ended up dressing them similarly, but in different colors, but there was a mix-up with the scheduling so they ended up not having their photos taken afterall! Oh well!

I have a little freebie for you. Just some doodled words for Thanksgiving. The come both colored and plain.

Have a wonderful rest-of-the-week!

Boo! Treat Bag Toppers

Ellie — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:14:26 +0000

Let me start off by saying that I am no hybrid expert, so I wanted to start out simple. Very simple! So I made these cute little treat bag toppers and they turned out really cute. My little boys just turned three and are in preschool now so later in the month I’m going to send some treats to school with them for their classmates, but I wanted to try them out now to be sure they printed out right and everything. And they did! Anyway, I made them with my Boo! Halloween kit. I’ve included them with Happy Halloween on them, but also blank in case you want to put something else instead. Once you cut them out and fold them they measure approximately 3.5″x2.25″. I’m using them with 3.5″x7.5″ polypropylene (cello) bags, they fit very nicely.
