Sunny with a Chance

Just a quick note today... I have a lot in store for you in June, and that takes lots of preparation! I've just released my newest (and most favorite kit so far) Sunny with a Chance!

This fresh, fun and funky digital scrapbooking kit is just what you need to create stunning spring and summer layouts. The bright colors and funky embellishments of Sunny with a Chance really pop with the touches of black and white making it easier than ever to make layout after layout that will stand out. Sunny with a Chance is packed full of hand-drawn doodles, newsprint embellishments with a chalked edge effect, curly ribbons, frames in a variety of shapes and let's not forget the POLKA DOTS!

25% off until May 31st!
Go to my shop to get it!

Like I said before this is my favorite kit! I keep scrapping this photo of Wyatt's likkle tootsies because it is my all-time favorite photo, and I hadn't been able to scrap it just right. Well until now that is! I think I've finally made the layout that will be included in my photo book (when I get enough pages done lol)


Sara has made this absolutely gorgeous layout, I just love how the colors of the background paper goes so well with the colors in that sweet photograph. Sara also has a little surprise for you over at her blog!


I've also made up a bright, fresh and fun sampler of Sunny with a Chance. Included in the sampler are 3 (12x12") textured papers; 2 polka dot, 1 solid, and 4 embellishments; 1 doodle frame, 1 newsprint cloud, a super sweet little bird and a button flower.

This funky digital scrapbooking sampler is FREE until May 31st before it goes into the One Dollar Shop at DigitalArts-cafe.

*25% off until April 25th*

Here is a layout that I made for April's Scraplift Challenge over at the DigitalArts-cafe forum using both the Oh, Baby! [Kit] and [Word Art] of my favorite photo of a little "photo shoot" that I did with Wyatt when he was six weeks old.

And to give you a little taste of what is in the kit, I have put together this great little sampler for you with 3 papers, a ribbon and a frame made with elements from the kit, as well as a baby boy exclusive to the sampler.

Today... I scrapped!

So if you've been following me on twitter, or noticed my updates in the sidebar you'll have noticed that my mojo has gone astray lol! I decided that it had been too long since I actually scrapped a page, and hopefully that might convince my mojo to return home.

Well, I got opened up a couple of my templates, and Ziska's Ocean Cloud and went at it! Soon I had not one, but two layouts that I am happy with!

Corner Cluster Freebie and CT Freebies!

I've been a very bad blogger, I know, but Wyatt is teething again and also has a cold =( The poor little thing isn't sleeping well at night, so instead of the scrapping and blogging that I normally do when he's napping I've been napping too.

To make it up to you, I've made up a corner cluster freebie for you out of elements and papers from Shabby Shamrock. I love cluster corners, I think that they are a fab way to start a page!

Download here

Before you run off, my CT girls have been busy not only creating layouts, but also some freebies for you too! So grab a cuppa and get ready to do some blog hopping to snag yourself some great freebies!

Ravena has this gorgeous quick page to show off that lucky day using Shabby Shamrock up on her blog.

Lucie has not one, but TWO quick pages for you over at her blog, one made with That 70's Kit and one with Shabby Shamrock!

The First Blooms of Spring!

Well, some of the first blooms of spring from last year anyway! I made this layout using my portion of the DAC February Collab kit, Bee Mine and photos that I took of the flowers in my garden last year after a rain.

I have to admit, scrapping photos of warmer weather is really making me look forward to spring! But this week the first snow of winter fell here in England, making me think that it's going to be a while before I can get outside and start planting flowers for the upcoming year.

I'm also looking forward to spring so that leaving the house won't be such a mission. Trying to make sure that both the boys are bundled up can be a nightmare. It never fails that as soon as I have Wyatt all snug and warm in his pushchair and ready to leave that he either poops, spits up, or drools and needs to be changed before re-bundling him. Then, once Wyatt is finally ready, Ezra usually says, "I have to go to the bathroom" *eye roll* So, we have to take off his hat, gloves, scarf and coat and start over again LOL!

Please tell me that I'm not the only one that goes through this!

Brotherly Love and a CT Call

I had some time to play around today and I had this sweet picture of my older son, Ezra kissing his little brother when he was a week and a half old that I wanted to scrap. This is what I came up with...

I used my Valentine's Day kit, Temptation at that is available at the boutique at DigitalArts-cafe, and used the font Pea Jamie*B*

Ezra is such a sweet big brother, always making sure that Wyatt has everything that he needs and loves to make him laugh! I'm so lucky to have two gorgeous, sweet little boys!

I still have room for a couple more members for my Creative team, so come apply! Everyone is welcome to apply, so newcomers to digital scrapbooking don't be shy!!

To apply, just send a quick email to me at karyn.clarke(at)sky(dot)com and I will get back to you!

Zombie Sleep

Here's a layout that I made of my little Wy Wy doing his infamous "zombie sleep" LOL! The kit that I have used is once again Sweet Deceit by Studio Ziska, I love this kit, it is so versatile and cute!!

Wordless Wednesday

Would you like a challenge?

There's a new template challenge going on over at DigitalArts-cafe, hosted by one of my fellow designers, Mozz (For Ever More Creations).

There are two parts to the challenge... the first is to create your own CD-sized template using the shapes provided by the 11th of January and offer it as a freebie. You can download the shapes and find the complete rules at the forum here.

Once you have made your template post a link to where it can be downloaded at the forum here.
