Allison Pennington, Exclusively at CatScrap

Yes, pretty.

I’ve got to be honest… this freebie should have been up hours ago. I started to watch last night’s saved 2 hour of Grey’s Anatomy and within seconds forgot I was working. I spent two hours hysterically sobbing. Fortunately it’s Friday and I’m all alone here at home. Well, with the exception of Pippi, Gomez, and Franny (who was 7 weeks old yesterday and is both heart breakingly cute and psychotic).

But I’ve gotten ahold of myself. Franny’s passed out on my lap so I figured it’s freebie time!!!

Released today at CatScrap:

and free with the kit you can get the separately sold doodle brushes for FREE:

Also new today, a hand-drawn full alpha (in png and abr format!) that goes perfectly with Bloom:

All of it’s 20% off today and tomorrow!

See you soon!

What a week!  Hope everyone else had a week just as nutty and fun.  Since this week’s new releases are going to be delayed until next I made a little coordinating gift for everyone.  Which also means there’s still time to win all of the “For the Love of Paper” packs released up to next week (next week Passionate Paisleys, Solid Solids, and Daring Damasks will be released so that’s NINE packs to win!!).  Check my store to see what you like, they’re hard to miss.  I’ve had a great time with the palette I chose for basics this year and I hope you will, too.   The elements and alphas that coordinate are super fun and I can’t wait to release them.   Every comment here or in my freebie thread at Polka Dot Plum will be entered to win – up to 5 people will win the pack of their choice and 1 person will win them all!

But I promised a freebie, didn’t I?  Here it is… Solid Solids, Contrast Happy mini paper pack.  Click to download:

Free till next week (at least!). Don’t forget, there’s another week of new challenges at the Plum also. Don’t miss them!

Hey! Where’ve you been? What? I’ve been the one missing??

Okay, you’re right. The quick version…
Illness. Child support wars. Diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Met Polka Dot Amy. Pippi had her puppy. Outdoor School. More illness.

Those are just the headlines but I imagine you get the jist. I’m sleepy. And hungry. And swollen.

But that’s not why you’re here, is it! New this week:

I love this kit.  Seriously.  It’s inspired by my baby boy (who’s almost 9).  He dresses up for school almost every day.  Button up, sports coat, and tie.  Wakes up early every day to shower.  On his own.  He combs his hair and has been wearing deodorant since he was 4.  Not because he’s stinky but because he wants to smell nice.  He uses proper tense and is ultra polite and witty.  Truth be told – the other side of his personality involves an encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars, Legos (can build the biggest kits in under an hour), and WWII.  And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  The kids complicated.  And so smart that if he didn’t look like me I’d have to wonder.  But back to the kit… 42 papers, 60 something elements (no recolors), 2 alphas (one in two colors), and when you buy the whole kit together you also get a template set and brush set, exclusive to this kit.  Seriously.  Boyish without being cartoony or babyish.  And classic enough to work for everyone else, too.    And there’s mustaches.  MUSTACHES!!  And you can use the mustache brush to paint mustaches on your pictures!  The best part?  Only $7 for all of it.  No joke.    Here’s some layouts from my ladies Jenn and Jadelyn…

Just for you, my favorite people, here’s a code for a dollar off Keen, good thru 4/15: Keen_Blog$1OFF

Ready for a coupla more things? This week there was also two more paper packs added to the “For the Love of ….” collection, basics in my personal palette for 2010.  These two bring the current total to six released so far.  Keep watching for the rest of the collection to trickle in during the next couple of months.

Want to win?  Leave a comment and let me know your favorite pack from the collection so far and next Wednesday, the 21st, I’ll randomly pick 5 people to pick one pack from the collection so far and 1 person to win all of the packs so far!  Don’t forget to stop by Polka Dot Plum for a new week of challenges – which means more chances to win the monthly prize and to earn more points towards coupons for the store!  See you soon…

Hello, hello!!

It’s another New Release Wednesday at the Plum and I’ve got a new kit for you!  Perfectly suited is full of suit fabric textures and bold graphic prints.  It’s, ehem, perfectly suited for every layout all year long.  Lots of flowers, big and small and a whole bunch of buttons.  And better than all of that?  It’s 20% off today!
