Retirement Sale!

I realize I've neglected this blog considering I haven't posted since June! Where has this year went?? I swear it was just Christmas.

I just wanted to let all of my fans know that I have decided to retire from the digital world and am closing up shop July 31st. From now until then, everything in my store excluding ScrapMatters collab kits is 50% off. The price will be shown in your shopping cart.

I want to thank every single one of my customers and fans who have been on this journey with me for the last year. I have learned so much and grown more than I ever thought possible. My reason for leaving is because my real life is getting in the way of my computer time. If there were only 10 more hours in the day I'd be set. :)

Make sure to check out my CT's blog for a little going away blog train :) http://designsbysarahbennett.blogspot.com/

I really have been blessed with such an amazing and supportive group of ladies to work with!

I'm not leaving the digi world though and will still use this blog to post my layouts and maybe some other information that you may find useful.

Again, thank you all so much for your support!

New Release: Old Glory

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything on my blog, but I have an amazing collab to share with you! I teamed up again with Trixie Scraps to make Old Glory.

New Release: Sweet Siblings

First of all I want to apologize for not posting this yesterday. I do want to share with you my newest collab with Stacy's Backdoor Designs. We've teamed up to make Sweet Siblings that will be perfect to scrap all of those pictures of your kids together.



There is also a coordinating wordart pack available here


We've also packaged this up as a bundle that you can pick up HERE.

I have to make this short and sweet tonight because my hubby is asleep on the couch and I always feel like I'm going to wake him with my super fast pecking at the keyboard. I need a silent keyboard. :) Hope you all enjoy your long weekend and the start to summer!

New Release: My Buddy

Happy Friday everyone! It has been a very long week in my house and I'm a little more than relieved that today's Friday. I feel like I've kind of disappeared from the digi world for a while, but the reasoning was because my computer crashed May 1st and I was without it for a whole week! It's all back to normal now and fortunately I didn't lose anything, but now I am way behind on everything.

I did manage to make a new kit! Woohoo! My Buddy is perfect for scrapping all of those pages of your little buddy!







Just take a look at all of the layouts made by my personal CT and the ScrapMatters CT:

Also, be sure to stop by my CT blog and snag some free templates!

** UPDATED POST** Sorry to anyone who got the wrong download here at my blog. I know I triple checked to make sure that the link worked before posting, but apparently it was the wrong one. I've downloaded twice now and it's good to go. Again, very sorry for the wrong link.

Hey everyone!! Welcome to your next stop on the ScrapMatters [inter]National Scrapbooking Day blog train. This train will be making stops all over the place! You have probably just come from Jenna's blog and you are currently on stop #36 and are in Indiana!

Our NSD mega-collab at SM this weekend is called "Moments that Matter" and the whole theme of our celebration is all about those moments in our lives that really matter. At each stop you'll find a story about a Moment that Matters along with a freebie!! There are TONS of stops on this blog train, so you can pick up a LOT of goodies!!

I've been thinking really hard about a moment that has mattered the most to me and I honestly believe that becoming a mom for the first time was the most important moment of my life. I never realized how life changing it actually was until I heard that first scream. I can't imagine another moment coming along that will change who I am as a person so drastically.

Here's a picture of me meeting my little man three years ago! It's amazing to watch him grow each day.

Ready for your freebie?? I've made a 12x12 quickpage for you to personalize.

DOWNLOAD HERE

Link will be active until midnight Thursday night 5/6. Then all these blog train goodies are getting gathered up and put into the store!

Enjoy!!! And now you're off to the next stop on the blog train . . .
