NEW FREEBIE FOR YOU!

Good Morning All!

Well, the Polar Express Blog Train and Christmas Present Hunt were a huge success! I hope you all were able to get all the goodies offered by me and my fellow designers at Digitals. But, if you didn't, most of the kits are available in the store now. Of course, while the blog train was chugging along, so was I! I added a new Do-It-Yourself album to my store! This one coordinates with my Heritage Collection: Timeless Romance page kit and Add-On and is perfect for engagements, weddings, anniversaries and Valentine's Day.

IDEA: You attended a wedding a year ago and now the happy couple is celebrating it's first anniversary. Since "paper" is the traditional gift, why not make a cute hybrid album using this kit and photos of the couple in various stages of the relationship: dating, engagement, wedding, etc. Use pretty ribbons instead of the locking rings to tie the pages together! And don't forget the journaling! Remember to put the dates of the photos at the very least.

These albums are small enough to display on a coffee or end table. They will even fit on those small, hinged stands that you can purchase at any craft store, Target or Wal-Mart. It is a one-of-a-kind gift that will be so appreciated and will last a lifetime!

Here are some pages that my friend Vicky Day did with this kit:

The kit includes 28 pre-shaped backgrounds and 70 assorted elements all sized to fit these pages. Additional resizing may be needed according to your layout. By popular request, I have even included a bonus quick page to get you started! How cool is that?

Here is the kit preview:

Here is this week's gift:

HELLO FROM THE NORTH POLE! WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

Well, here we are at our final destination! The North Pole! And for those of us who live in the sub-tropical regions of the U.S. -- what a refreshing change from the weather we have been having! I hope you have had as much fun as I have on our little train trip and that we have all made some new friends.

Since it is not possible to contact you individually, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have downloaded my work and have left comments. I really enjoy reading them and knowing that you appreciate the gifts. I meant to mention before that if you have any questions about the cards after you have read the instructions, please feel free to contact me.

PLANET HYBRID CROP & FREE KIT

Hey Y'all! Take a look at the preview above! Isn't it smashing? If you attend Beth Rimmer's Planet Hybrid Crop tonight at 9:00 PM EDT in the Digitals chat room you can get this kit for FREE! No, I'm not kidding! ABSOLUTELY FREE for 24 Hours beginning Tuesday, July 8th at 9:00 PM EDT and ending Wednesday, July 9th at 9:00 PM EDT.

This kit enables you to make your own bracket album using whatever elements you want to. I love Quick Pages, but sometimes I wish I could move the elements around or resize them. Well, this kit is your answer! Use as much or as little as you like. Everything has been sized to fit the Basic Grey Bracket Album (which you can buy at Digitals). You can go totally digital or totally hybrid. These pages will print out beautifully!

If you like this concept, please leave a comment on my blog. Your opinions and requests are very important to me.

See you at the crop!

BLOG FREEBIE & ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi Everyone!

I have been really busy working on a couple of new kits. One is a Do It Yourself Hybrid Album kit that will allow you to make your own hybrid pages, placing the digital elements wherever you like or not using any digital elements at all in favor of "real" elements like buttons, ribbons, etc. Sound interesting? This kit will be given free to all who attend Beth Rimmer's Planet Hybrid crop on Tuesday, July 8th at 9:00 PM EDT in the Digitals chat room. The links will only be active for 24 Hours and the only way you can get them is to attend the crop. The kit will be for sale in my store at Digitals on Thursday, July 10th.

Now, for this week's blog gift. Need some girly elements? Then this free gift will fill the bill! One background is included along with 10 pink elements. I hope you enjoy it!

SORRY, THIS LINK HAS EXPIRED

NOW FOR THE REALLY BIG NEWS!

We at Digitals are sponsoring another Blog Train! Isn't that exciting? At least 20 designers are participating in this one! I can't wait for you all to see the fantastic goodies! It begins at 12:01 AM on Monday, July 14th and runs for 12 days ending on July 25th! I hope you all will join us!

Nini's regular weekly blog gift will be suspended for the duration of the Blog Train, but will return Monday, July 28th.
