There aren’t too many things more relaxing to do on a Spring day than to simply lie in the grass and feel the warmth of the sun on your face, to enjoy the sounds of nature and dream of bright things to come. My newest kit, Dreamin’ of Daisies, is full of cheerful yellows and luscious greens, with dashes of pink and orange for a little added pizzazz. A spirited bumblebee and lounging bunny rabbit are among the unique elements included in this kit. You can practically sense their delight at the promise of Spring and renewal, the chance to frolic and play among daffodils and daisies, or to snooze along a mossy slope undisturbed by the comings and goings of busy everyday life. Capture the joys of your own Springtime solace and happy memories with this kit! I hope you enjoy it!

Dreamin of Daisies is available for 33% off until May 31st in all of my stores. Or you might wish to snag the entire Collection at a 45% savings!

Be sure to scroll below the previews for a special freebie just for you, my blog readers!

Winter has come and gone and spring is full of all things fresh and new. I can hardly resist the urge to turn everything upside down – to plant and pull flowers and weeds in my garden, to get going on craft projects I’ve been aching to do, even to redecorate my living room! Life is all about balance though, and I must remember in all of this excitement for new, I’ve got much already around me to appreciate too! Balancing Act, a new kit by Karen of Snickerdoodle Designs, reminds us of just that: to celebrate the renewal of spring while keeping a sense of balance in our already full lives. Adorable bunnies, sheep, and chicks strive to keep their balance among flowers and Easter eggs, rain or shine; there’s buttons and ribbons and baskets…and so much more! You can find Balancing Act in Karen’s shop here at theStudio. Or, just click on the preview below to be redirected (hint: if you hurry, it’s 50% off on today, Sunday, then 33% off the rest of the week.)

Be sure to check out the addons as well – there’s a cluster set, a pack of solids, wordart, and styles too. Or, make it simple and just grab the whole collection at once here.

Need some inspiration? Check out these super sweet layouts from the Snickerdoodle Designs CT.

And, to get you started on your own layouts, Karen sent over this super cute cluster for you to download exclusively from theStudio blog. Have a great (and balanced) day!

No matter what season it is, keeping balance in my life is always a challenge!  What about you?

Balancing, both the old and the new things in our lives,  is what my kit “Balancing Act” is all about. Some of you may recognize the name of this kit A few weeks ago I started to simply “revisit” and add a few more elements to it, but by the time I was finished, the kit had received a complete make-over!  With 95% new elements and the addition of some extras, Balancing Act will provide you with all your need for your Easter or Spring projects!

Both the kit and extras are on sale for 33% during the entire month of April!

But keep reading to learn about the special Specials in April!

And as a special treat, all of my products are on sale for 50% EVERY SUNDAY during the month of April only @

My Photoshop Elements – Ultimate Basics #4 tutorial is now up on theStudio’s blog.   I hope you have enjoyed learning the Basics of Elements with me this week.  I have a free gift on theStudio’s blog with some papers and elements for you to practice with.  It is also a Sneak Peek of my Balancing Act kit, which will be released soon!

If my introduction to Photoshop Elements has increased your desire to learn more about Photoshop in general, I encourage you to head over to Papers and Pixels,  where you can learn about a wonderful educational opportunity, FUNdamentals Class, taught by Priss.  You may also visit her blog to learn more about Priss herself.

Hey there!  I have some news for you tonight about two new products, as well as having an adorable freebie Balancing Act QuickPage (8″ x 8″) for you!

First up, I want to share with you my newest styles.  I am so excited about them because I believe (and hope!) you will find them fun, useful, and very versatile!

Texture, as well as color and pattern, give fabric its character.  Woven Fabric Styles bring all three characteristics to the table!  This is a set of 20 seamless Photoshop styles in warm, earthy colors.  And if you are looking to add a little something extra to your element, try Woven Fabric – Metal Rim Styles.  This is a “sister” set to Woven Fabric Styles, possessing all of the characterics of the original set, but with the addition of a delicate gold-rimmed edge.

These styles are currently EXCLUSIVELY at  Digital Design Den.  They are on sale for 20% off, with the Bundle (both sets) being your best value-priced item, at 40% off.

And I have one more freebie Quick Page for you.  A lovely friend of mine designed it for you in the 8 X 8 size.  She does not want credit, but I thank her for it here publicly! 

You can pick it up here!

Enjoy!  And I hope you all have a blessed Easter weekend!
