Living in the Great Northwest for 30 years I am not exactly a summer person. I like the rain. I like the cold. I do not like the heat. But every year around this time I suck it up, pull out the fan, and sweat whether I like it or not. This summer, to try and work out my fear of the sun, I made Summer Catch!
This kit is BIG and full of quirky warm weathered doodles and elements. More than EIGHTY elements, 24 unique papers, and a full alpha in four colors. The paper pack, alpha set, and doodles are also sold on their own… but if you buy the kit you get the doodles free! All 27 of them, in png and abr format!! FREE!! Make sure to check out the additional images (preview above is clickable) to see the papers, alpha, and doodles in all their wicked glory! Oh, and it’s 20% off for the next few days…
Need some inspiration?? Check out these heartbreakingly gorgeous layouts from some of the sweetest scrappers ever:
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!!!
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!

This cute little number set comes with numbers 0 thru 9.
Some inspiration from the creatives (and me, too!!):
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!
Yesterday started a 55% off sale in my store. Till Tuesday everything – except Santa’s Bag packs and the brand new grab bag – is 55% off. The grab bag is already ridiculously priced. I may have been half asleep when I priced it. Discount shows in the cart!!
And, as mentioned, this grab bag is big and packed full of non-holiday happiness. Wednesday it will be broken up so act now and get a ridiculous discount… cheaper than even just the full kit inside.
I made an alpha that coordinates with the GB for my designer spotlight day at Polka Dot Plum which you can grab by clicking the preview…
Thanks for stopping by! I scheduled this to publish at noon but it seems it wanted to publish at noon on my coast so here we are…
To download my portion click the preview! Inside you’ll find 3 elements and a few elements that the preview doesn’t do justice:

I’ve spend two days pulling my hair out(I do this often… which is why I found it necessary to shack up with a stylist. Well, that and because it’s fun sitting here in my favorite ratty sweatshirt, eating a generic ice cream sandwich with $300 worth of hair product in my hair that I can’t even pronounce but get to use because above mentioned handsome man works at a salon that would never let me through the door… it’s ridiculous really but that’s not why we’re here, is it?) because there’s sales all over the place so tremendous that I’d be living in the streets if DSD happened every week. Every newsletter that hits my inbox is met with a girlish squeal followed by a prompt and grown up apology to anyone sitting near me. But really… sequins at 75% off? If that’s not worth a squeal than what is? Perhaps DSD blog trains are equally worthy. What if each stop gifts you a mysterious bag filled with coordinating free stuff? Sequins are cool but grab bags? Get out.
If you’ve managed to make it through my late Friday night rantings than you’ll be pleased to know that I’m no tease. I actually have one of those bags and you can download it right now! All you have to do is click the picture! You don’t even have to wait 32 seconds at 4shared!

Next stop on the train is Sunflowers(it’s there at the very bottom of her post) Want to go back to the beginning? Return to the lovely Susan Robinson’s blog! We’re not all in the same time zone so if something seems to be missing keep checking back. Enjoy your iDSD and be sure to check out all the fun happening over at the PDP forums… Watch that forum all day as games and challenges pop up. You could win a guest spot on a PDP designer’s CT. Not to mention all the free stuff. Allison
I couldn’t resist offering these little crazies for free! They’re available free through the store but only for a very short time. Then they’ll move out of freebie land and into the real world. Boo!
Grab ‘em while they’re free!!!! Click the image to head to the store…
Trick or treat? How about a mystery freebie? And perhaps a chance to win? Freebie first? No more questions?
Okay… Click on the super mysterious, ultra creepy image below to be whisked away to… I lost it. Click on the picture to download the freebie. (I tried)
link will expire 11/4
I will tell you that it coordinates with Twisted, my seriously wacked collaboration with Polka Dot Plum Designs, yes… the boss ladies themselves! So much fun!!!
And as for your chance to win? Download the freebie above and work it into a layout. Easy so far, right? Doesn’t even have to be a HWeen layout… Then post the layout to the gallery of your choosing (Polka Dot Plum has a gallery… if you’re looking for one) and link up here. Do it by Wednesday (which happens to be New Release day) at 9:00am (eastern) and you’ll have a chance to win. One (lucky?) scrapper will be picked out of the hat to pick anything out of my store for free! Don’t leave me hanging!! See you back here Wednesday morning to pick!
I’m in the midst of vomit central with a bowl in my lap and 3 of our 4 home sick.
But the sixth and final freebie of this run is ready for you to (hopefully) enjoy! Admittedly I was feeling less than inspired this morning but I hope they’ll not too boring! A set of 17 or so book/library themed PS brushes for you…
