Hey, everyone!  Wanted to share a special mention that we received on Simple Scrapper…our new release Wish For Today made the highlight list posted there today.  Check it out here:

http://www.simplescrapper.com/2010/10/24/new-release-highlights-for-oct-24-2010/

If you love our new kit, especially if you already have it, leave a comment thanking the site for sharing Wish For Today with everyone.  Thanks so much!  :)

Wish For Today! A New Kit and Freebies!

We are releasing a new kit today!  Wish For Today is a beautiful kit with neutral colors and a touch of pewter.  It is a good size kit with 12 papers, 5 Cardstocks, 56 elements and a full alphabet.  You can create both masculine and feminine layouts with stars and circles or hearts and flowers. For the first week the kit is on sale for only $2.50!  You can purchase the kit in the AmyDane Designs store at Stuff to Scrap!
Here is a look at the kit in it’s entirety.
  
The papers are universal for young, old, girl and boy pages.  The creams, browns and reds offer a huge range of possibilities and look great with black and white or sepia photos.

The embellishments provide you with an array of mats, swirls, tags, scatters and overlays.  Many of the elements have a stamped or rub on effect, creating a softer look.

Besides a full alpha there are also 6 different word arts to help finish off your layout.

Our CT is amazing and they have created some fantastic layouts using Wish For Today.

STS Charity Kit...Huge Collab!

Head to the Stuff to Scrap Store to purchase a great Charity Collab by the STS Designers.  Take a look at this great kit!  All the money will go directly to the Humane Society in rememberance of The Scrappy Kat's beloved dog Pepe.  You can read more about Pepe and "The Rainbow Bridge" below.  Go HERE to purchase the Rainbow Bridge Collab.

My pages using Rainbow Bridge. 

In early September, Katina (aka The Scrappy Kat) lost her poodle, Pepe. Pepe was a rescue dog, and Kat enjoyed his loyal, loving companionship for 15 years! Most of us can relate to losing a pet, and it is especially heartbreaking to lose one who has been a part of our family for such a long time. As we are not all in Kat's neighborhood to give her big hugs, the designers at STS have decided to give her a virtual hug, but creating a special kit called Rainbow Bridge (poem below) to honor not only the adorable, well-loved Pepe, but all the animals we love and lose in our lifetime. We have dogs, cats, horses; we even have lizards, bunnies, and many other kinds of pets in this kit! With a colorful rainbow palette and a ton of papers and elements showcasing all kinds of pets, this kit is perfect for ALL pet owners! The best thing about the Rainbow Bridge kit is that ALL proceeds from the kit will be donated to Katina's local Humane Society. You can check out their website here. And here is the lovely poem that inspired this kit: Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...
