noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:00:00 +0000

NutHouse-Scraps has chosen me to be the designer of the month! Wow! All my digital scrapping items will be on sale for 35% off all month long, including all personal use and commercial use items.

Birdbath, Sundial - Commercial Use Templates

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 09:12:00 +0000

Here's a couple new, fun, professional designer resource templates - you get three items in one product! A Birdbath, a sundial, and a pedestal (without the sundial). Digital scrapbook designers can use these in the design of their own kits which they make for sale.

They'll be on sale until Monday at midnight for 35% off.

I especially like how the sundial came out. I hope you'll find lots of uses for them for all your garden accents and landscaping needs for contemporary and fantasy scrapping!

Now at my shop at NutHouse-scraps.com. Credit not required, but always appreciated. Beam me a message when you use this in a product, and I'll spotlight you and your new creation.

Rainbow Whims

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 08:07:00 +0000

Adorable Grandson Not Included! This is strictly a BYOBaby event!

Nathan is showing off all his Duckies from last Spring in my new Rainbow Whims digital scrapbooking kit. It's on sale for 35% until midnight Saturday - and there's matching glitter that goes with it, too!

This kit was a huge stretch for me ... but those smooth rainbow backgrounds are just killer to play with. I hope you'll enjoy them, too! Share all the Adorable pages you make with me! I can't wait to see.

It's at NutHouse-Scraps.com if the rainbow is calling your name like it was mine!

I'm so excited. Starting at midnight on Dec 31st, all of my things at NutHouse-Scraps.com will be featured for sale in the special 12 Days of Christmas promotion. I'm sharing my day with the Blue Moon sale, too - where everything blue in the entire shop is on sale to honor the Blue Moon. And this is quite some sale, it's all 50% off!

No, I'm afraid that doesn't mean my Blue Moon kits are on sale twice - just once. But that was a good question!

I'm also giving away for free the glowing Blue Moon quick page pictured above - you just have to provide your own beautiful daughter, mine isn't included! Look for it in the shop, it's marked FREE, and will be free all day on Dec 31st.

All the Days of Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 09:27:00 +0000

Before American commercialization got their hands on the Twelve Days of Christmas, it was a 12-day countdown from Christmas Day to Epiphany, or Three Kings Day. So the first day of Christmas, most remarkably, is Christmas Day!

At NutHouse-Scraps, we're going to honor those roots and have a huge 12 day sale with something different on sale each day - and something new each day for free, too.

I made a digital stamp for your Christmas pages for each of the days of Christmas - there will be one you can get for free each day! You can collect them all for free, as pictured above.

All The Days of Christmas stamps will mix and match with the Christmas Past Mega Collection and Christmas Past Glitter Me This digi-glitter.

The first free stamp will be Dec 25th! Don't miss it! Look for the same image of the 12 Days of Christmas in the shop at NutHouse-Scraps.com, which is pictured above, and click on it for your daily free stamp from the 12 Days of Christmas collection!

Did I already mention ... there might be a nice coupon in the stamps? Thanks to our shop owner for that!

Page from Christmas Past

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:10:00 +0000

I want to share with you a terrific Christmas Traditions page which Renee Schlough made with my Christmas Past kit.

Look how she layered the pages on top of each other, and used the extra 'detail' shots from the 'during construction' steps to support the finished gingerbread house and proud smile photo. The photos of hands at work in those small details shots are part of the charm of this simple, endearing, and wonderful page of Christmas Traditions.

Thanks, Renee!

Christmas Past

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 20:53:00 +0000

I've been so busy with Christmas and a new project for a give-a-way (it starts tomorrow, come back then!) that I forgot to post about my Christmas Past Kit.

I had so much fun making this kit - from the glorious damask papers to the glittery candy cane frame, it will make your festive memories from this year or last century a snap for your scrapbook treasure!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Our Christmas with the family starts with the Christmas Eve program that our grandson is in this evening and goes through Saturday evening where it culminates with a celebration with our extended family.

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:53:00 +0000

Look what Heather did with a Halloween candid and my Wild Things kit! I think it is totally brilliant! She's one of my wonderful and talented Creative Team members.

Here's the larger image of the layout in the gallery.

I totally adore how she used the dark round frame in the back as just another layered element, like a collage.

Leave her some love in a comment and tell her what you liked about it.

Fa La La La LA.... la la la la!

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:12:00 +0000

Once our little grandson (he's 18 months old) started singing Fa La La La La, I decided I was TOTALLY justified in puting the Christmas music on while I was preparing a new digital scrapbooking kit. I've been studying Damask history and it's use in design ... which may show just a litte bit in my work! :)

This is a first peek at an unfinished kit for my little digital scrapbooking shop at NutHouse-Scraps.com. I can't tell you the name of the kit yet, but if it makes you feel a little vintage and merry, I won't be surprised!

Glitter, Damasks ... oooh, life is SO good!

Stay tuned for more Digiscrapping with Debbers!

2 Commercial Use For Christmas - 1 is FREE!

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:00:00 +0000

One of my pet peeves this time of year are Candy Cane elements in scrapbook kits that have straight lines on them instead of curving and wrapping stripes around them like real candy canes. So I've put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, with a double SWEET Treat this week!

First, a perfectly curving striped candy cane frame that is as easy as can be with my new Photoshop Action. It's OK for commercial use, too.

It's SUCH a fun element! Use one of your own favorite stripes patterns, or use one of the 4 or 5 red and white candy stripes in the free Photoshop .pat file I've included with the action. I've left the layers intact for you at the end of the action so that you can adjust the shading to taste.

It's been tested in PS7, Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4 - as well as PSE5.

But wait, there's more CURVING candy canes this week, too - a FREE Candy Cane Element Template. Don't settle for a straight-lined candy cane ... use this free template! It's in layers in both PNG files and a PSD file so it will work in any program and let you perfectly coordinate it for matching colors and styles.

It's free and OK for commercial use, too.

Enjoy!

Making Memories

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:24:00 +0000

With an eclectic mix of elements and wide use of neutrals, you're going to find my new Making Memories kit useful for a wide variety of scrapbooking pages. There's 12 textured and expressive backgrounds waiting to become the canvases for your next digital scrapbook pages. Then use any of the 22 elements to complete your showcase of special memories.

Multiple frames, flowers, journal elements, swirls, and an open book complement the rich backgrounds and go easily from traditional to contemporary styles.

Here's the layout I did with Making Memories from my Mom's 8th grade graduation portrait. (Yes, I said 8th grade - I told her she was jailbait!) I entered it in the county fair and it brought home a blue ribbon!!

Making Memories will be on sale for 35% off until November 9th in my shop at NutHouse-Scraps! It coordinates perfectly with both my Sunset & Memories Kit and has a matching set of Glitter Me This Digi-glitter. Mix and match them all for even more awesome digital scrapbook pages.

Wild Things - all new

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:53:00 +0000

Wild Things is the name and theme of the new digital scrapbooking kit that I put in the shop today! It will be on sale for 35% off until Monday, November 2nd.

With a nod to the delightful and beloved children's book and new movie from Spike Jonze, the NutHouse-Scraps.com Designers got together and created some WILD Things for you this month! My mini kit is just part of the huge coordinated Mega Collaboration. It's available separately or in the Wild Things Mega Collection.

The sailboat is probably my favorite element, the stacked 5up frames was a last minute addition when I was making a layout and needed them! (Literally, last night!)

Be sure to share your pages with me, I'd love to see how you and your Wild Things look on finished pages.

There is a matching set of digi glitter for Wild things, in the newest addition to my Glitter Me This series. Everyone needs a little sparkle in their life and on their layouts!

October THANKFUL Blog Train is Over

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:15:00 +0000

100 Designers from all over the world brought us 100 free digital scrapbooking kits with the same color swatches and the same "Thankful" theme. And you had 31 days from October 1st to download them all - for free!

It was an awesome thing to be a part of this blog train ... the free downloads have expired, now. Thanks to all the people who 'built' the train and everyone who followed it! I'll leave my post and photo here for posterity - (edited 8 Nov by deb)

Here's my part, inspired by this wonderful season and theme. I'm giving you some neutrals that will probably go with more than just the Blog Train kits, but you be the judge of that. The little cutie in the sample layout page in the preview is one of my adorable great-nieces. Or are those grand-nieces. Hmmm!

Don't miss the discount coupon in the zip file, friends. Our store owner graciously allowed it for everyone who rides on the Blog Train this month.

I hope you enjoyed this leg of the journey. Thanks for taking the 'scenic route' on the October Thankful Blog Train - see you next time!

May this time of the change of seasons bring a blessing to you and your family,
Big Hugs,
Debbers

Memories Mini Kit Collaboration

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:11:00 +0000

The awesome designers at NutHouse-Scraps have made a huge new collaboration this month with a theme of Sunset and Memories. And it's all done with the beautiful hues of a sunset and Fall Colors.

For my coordinating kit, I concentrated on mostly neutral shades for the pages and tags (can you believe I got tag happy? there's two tags in a mini kit! hah! One of my friends said, "Who are you and what have you done with our Debbers??!" when she saw two tags in one small kit!)

But I went for gold and beautiful florals shades in the embellishments. You'll see a little layout page with the preview, the darling with all the fall color around her is my niece.

This is on sale now for 35% off until Monday night, Oct. 5th - along with the entire collaboration, including a 25 page full-size instant album!

Oh! And don't miss the coordinating glitter! Gosh, everyone needs ~~a little~~ a lot of glitter!

Make some memories ... then save them!

Back on 2 Legs Again

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:53:00 +0000

I saw the Ortho yesterday, he said the break in my foot didn't look like it required a cast, and so HOORAY! the crutches are history and he put me in a "walking boot".

Which is somewhat of a misnomer, you don't get much walking done. But at least there are no crutches, and I can remove it to sleep and shower.

But -- NO MORE CRUTCHES!!!

The boot relieved at least half of my pain, too, so I'm very happy with the outcome on this! I'll be trying to keep off of it, keep it elevated as needed, and generally move slowly so this bone can heal properly and without delay.

I picked the ever-so-stylish color of black (I had a choice of black, black, and black) and it goes up my leg to just under my kneecap. I am the WALKIN' picture of style now! Well, make that the Hobbling picture of ... forward movement. :)

Glitter Me This!

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:10:00 +0000

Personal or Commercial Use Digi-Glitter in Herb Garden shades – ready for Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, or other software which can use repeating tile fills. It comes with free Twinkle Brushes in Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro and PNG files and instructions for each of those programs.

Use it sparingly … glob it on, do what your Glitter Muse inspires you to do, then stand back and watch it twinkle!

Now sparkling at NutHouse-Scraps.com by Debbers.

Extras for Your Herb Garden

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:24:00 +0000

This month at NutHouse-Scraps.com, the designers all pulled together a mega collection called Herb Garden. It’s using some rich, luscious greens, reds, and browns that are so complimentary together! I’ve made a 6-pack of backgrounds and a delicate gold-threaded diamond overlay to match the colors. You saw a sneak peek of one of the papers a few weeks ago.

Extras for Your Herb Garden are all deep, textured background papers that will enhance any fall and winter layouts. Don’t forget to drop me a line when you use them, I’d so love to see what you did!

P.S. I even made matching digi-glitter again, but more about that soon!

Shhhhsh! I've got nothing else to say about this other than it's coming soon to my shop at NutHouse-Scraps. Here's a quick little nab right out of my Photoshop...

Making Memories with Grammy

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:33:00 +0000

Rachael Hudnell’s new kit, Heirlooms Revisited, is on sale now at her new shop, InspiredScraps.com. Rachael’s been a favorite of mine for several years, and I was so jazzed when I learned she would be making this kit utilizing my Persian Dreams I commercial use patterns.

Her kit is everything good in digital scrapbooking! There’s lots of pieces to choose from, they go together no matter which pieces you put down with which other pieces, and it was so easy to use that this page of my kids, grandkids and mom-in-law at the park all but laid itself out!

I just love the rich depth and light feel to the kit. Don’t forget to look in her Freebies section, there’s even a coordinating quick page there from Heirlooms Revisited.

Blue Moon QuickPage Sighting

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:06:00 +0000

Tonight I found the free quickpage I offerred here on the blog last week from Once In a Blue Moon in the scrapbook gallery for GreatNannaMarg at ScrapbookFlair.com. She used a stunning photograph, well cropped for the exhilarating look in the photograph. It was a great job!

I'm always delighted to see how people take something I've made and make it better. Marg certainly did just that with that incredible photo. Click on her name and go see!

Look for the entire Blue Moon Collection at NutHouse-Scraps.com

Shhhh...Sleeping Baby

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 05:39:00 +0000

Wendy found this photo of our grandson tonight, from his very first outing – he wasn’t even a month old yet. She scrapped it using my new Twice in a Blue Moon Kit, and here’s how adorable he turned out!

She chose some of the more tailored parts of the kit to create an ornament-like hanging frame for this precious little photo, and then glittered the title with the matching glitter pack.

I know I might be a wee bit prejudiced, but I think it’s wonderful. Who can resist a sleeping newborn?

Twice In A Blue Moon

noreply@blogger.com (deb) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 05:06:00 +0000

It's a rare event that happens Once in a Blue Moon, but even more rare are 2 blue moons in the same month. Drawing inspiration from the dramatic colors of the Midsummer Night's Dream Collection, these luscious aquamarines, peacock blues, greens and mauve tumbled down to earth in a series of falling stars, coming to rest in the moon lit meadow of an enchanted forest.

Twice in a Blue Moon is my sequel add-on to Once in a Blue Moon digital scrapbooking kit. There’s over 30 pieces in the kit. Enjoy!
