Birthday Celebration with Amazing Sales, A New Collection, Scrapbooking Inspiration and Freebies

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

I'm celebrating my birthday, today and you get the presents.  I've teamed up with super designer, Art & Life Scraps for a birthday bundle.  There's a newsletter hop at GingerScraps that we are participating in and giving away a sweet portion that coordinates with the new collection.  We've also got beautiful page inspiration on tap as well as your favorite and mine, freebies and hybrid projects.

This is the portion of the collection that I'm giving to our loyal and wonderful subscribers.  If you missed today's newsletter, no worries.  I'll be posting the link next Friday and the Friday after that.  You'll be wanting those extra papers and fun, whimsical elements in this freebie.

Here's a close up of the collection.

The templates...

And here are the pages from the team...

I just love this kind of shadowing.  The elements are limited off of the page.

Not into Valentine?  You certainly don't need to be to use this collection...

Cindy loves her doodles and so do we!  You can get such a great crafty vibe with them.

There are many really cool graphics in the collection that I'm sure you'll love.

Get creative with your photography or don't use any at all.  I use other people's pictures and even images I find on the internet.  Just like I use postcards for my traditional pages.

If you like the planner style pages, then you'll love our, "Planned" series of templates.  Esther used them for her page.

I just love Felicity's page with the puffy air balloon and banner.

Lisa had a great idea for the Bee theme in the new collection.

I love the quote and message in Roxana's page.

How ya liking those journal cards with the doggies?  The dogs are not mine!  I got them from Design Bundle's Dollar Event and added some effects and changed up the colors.  I think they are so cute and the way Theresa used them and the collection is such a great idea.

Just think of the many ways you can use this vibrant collection!

Jillian paired up the collection with our Subdued templates.  Super cute!

Cindy, from Art & Life Scraps has provided dozens of free designs available on her crafty page.

And now...for the Crafters!  What have ya done with our Man In The Moon cuttable design?  I used my template and some goodies from the Sleep Tight collection and designed this mock up/ adorable pillow as well as some flairs which could also be used to design key chains which apparently, are all the rage in the crafting world.

Since it's my birthday, I've put this collection at just $5 as well.  Pop over to the GingerScraps shop and check out all of the inspiration and grab it at this super price.  That's the kit AND the templates for $5.

Think off of the screen for your designs!

If you're looking for more fabulous free designs, check out the freebies at Design Cuts, our other shop, Kreative Design Studio can be found there, too.  I found this super cute design in the freebies section along with a lot of other freebies.

If ya got a tiny budget and want bang for your buck (as is The Cherry fashion) then this bundle is for you. I went to get a further peek and there are even bundles in the bundles!  You'll get hundreds of designs in this bundle.  I was shaking my head at the incredulity.

I took a few of my favorite designs from the bundle and brought them here to show ya.  Find these in the bundle, above.

So pretty!

Come on back tomorrow.  I'll show you how to use another awesome freebie, Hybrid Style with step by step instructions. Find this FREE printable in our group.

This blog is full of fabulous freebies, scrapbooking and craft inspiration.  I invite you to scroll back through and enjoy.  

If you are looking to be a part of something fun and active, then join us in our scrap-a-licious group.  Share off your projects, pages...get inspired by the other posts, do our challenges, ask questions and receive exclusive products there, too.  We'll be continuing the party over there, as well!

Stay healthy, folks and scrap your cares and anxieties away.

 

Party Templates, A Few More Days to Use the Coupon and the Freebies Have Started

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

I hope you've had a wonderful holiday so far.  We celebrated, as usual with our family, here in Belgium.  Actually, it's my husband's family.  Mine are scattered mostly up and down the East Coast and I've not seen most of them since 2003.  That's when I moved to Belgium.  I miss them dearly and think most often of them around the holidays and wish I could celebrate with them.  Hold your loved ones near and let them know all of the wonderful things they do that you appreciate.  Showing gratitude is actually very healthy for us and who doesn't love to have their horn tooted, right?

Check out what I've got new in the GingerScraps shop.  I worked really hard designing these and I've got alternative photo spots and an alternative banner to make these templates super versatile.  Enjoy all of the page inspiration and get scrappy this holiday!

Celebrate Templates

As you may have heard, Aimee Harrison joined my team.  I've been with Amy for nearly 10 years on her team and she's been admiring my templates for years and asked to be a Cherry!  Whoo hoo!  I think we make a pretty darn good team.

This is her new collection, Auld Lang Syne.  The colors are so rich and luxurious.  I did two pages!

Celebrate Winter

If you're paying very close attention, you may have seen that our top selling templates, Celebrate Winter and Tinsel Toes were on sale for one day for only $2!  $2 Tuesdays at GingerScraps is a pretty awesome time to save BIG.  I've planned something for every Tuesday for the entire month of January and to finish up December.  So make sure you look for those each week.

Celebrate Winter

I'm not saying when, but you might find these sometime in the $2 sale.  I used my Celebrate Scrap collection for these.  It used to be in the Scrappy Sisters shop, but now it's just sitting all alone in my external hard drive collecting dust.  Hehehe...I'll see about getting it in a shop soon.

Celebrate Scrap Templates and our Kit!

I recently added Flower Power to the GingerScraps Shop.  If time is of the essence, these are definitely a pack templates you'll want to add to your repertoire.  The huge elements make scrapbooking really fast and so easy when you even copy our shadows.  I felt guilty how fast all four of my pages came together with these templates.  Seriously!  You can scrap pages like this in about 12 minutes and if you copy paste one awesome cluster and perhaps just nudge and move around a few pieces, you'll be done even faster still.

Flower Power Templates

There is only a few more days to use our coupon code: Cherry50Dec at either shop to save 50% off of orders over $7.  That's only two packs of templates or a kit, paper pack....for huge savings.

Are you enjoying your daily freebies so far in the newsletter?  A huge thanks to all of you who recently signed up.  I hope you'll stay on board.  We give a lot of goodies to our subscribers and we only visit your mail box once a week.  Unless, we do something silly like give you a freebie for 12 days!  hehehe...There are still 9 little mini kits to go so it's not too late and who knows...maybe I'll help those out who come in late.

Free For Subscribers

If you've got any questions about the pages on today's blog, questions about scrapbooking in general or if you have anything you'd like us to consider designing, send us an e-mail or pop over to our group on Facebook.  The ladies there are so knowledgable and they're family, too. We also share freebies, daily!

Thanks so much for checking out The Cherry.

Happy holidays and a happy New Year!
