SOSN Flourish & Such A Mess | 50% off for 24 Hours! | Fundraiser for Rubia of Studio Basic | MOC10 & Free Templates

 

SOSN (Something Old Something New) is here! Every Wednesday at The Lilypad, you'll find a variety of products on sale for 50% off ~ some of the products might be older releases, and some of them might be new releases. It's one day only, so don't delay in grabbing these products at a fantastic discount. My template sets for SOSN are HALF PRICE at $2.25 each!

Flourish {Dressed Up} and {Dressed Down} templates each feature a graduating series of photo spots . . . extra small, small, medium, large . . . to show off how you are flourishing, growing, and blooming in your life. Use the photo spots to repeat a special photo for extra emphasis or use them to create a marvelously layered layout with different photos. You'll find custom shadows and dynamic shading on the photo spots so that you can make beautifully shadowed layouts quickly and easily.

Such A Mess {Dressed Up} and {Dressed Down} templates feature stamps and multiple paint layers that create a messy yet beautiful background and each layout is a good representation of my life right now . . . it's such a mess. I've lost the ability to keep track of the days of week. I've gotten medical reports that have made me alternately calm and panicked. I've struggled to create while having the overwhelming urge to document my memories. I hope that like me, you'll embrace the messy memories, the not-so-perfect memories, and utilize these templates to record your life no matter how messy it is. You'll find custom shadows and dynamic shading on the photo spots so that you can make beautifully shadowed layouts quickly and easily.

You may have heard the news late last week that Ru of Studio Basic at Sweet Shoppe Designs lost her husband Di without warning in the early morning hours of January 20th in their home in Brazil. Di was her sunshine, the love of her life, a family man and a wonderful father, and now she's facing a future without him by her side as a single mother. I know Ru personally as I have been creating layouts for her as part of her Creative Team since early 2016. To say she is incredibly talented as a designer is an understatement. If you look in her shop, you'll see that she's not only talented, but prolific. She is also delightful woman, who has a great sense of humor, yet she also has a fine-tuned sense of the darkness most of us have within us and makes incredible collections for exploring self-expression while being creative.  A fundraiser was put in motion by Sweet Shoppe Designs and friends to support Rubia. Forever is an absolutely stunning tribute to life, love, friendship, and everything we hold near and dear to our hearts. For as long as this collection is for sale, all of the proceeds from the sale of this collection will support Ru and her son Brian directly as part of her income. There is so much more than pictured, but as you can see, this absolutely gorgeous effort is a massive collection of papers, elements, pocket cards, mixed media, and templates from the Sweet Shoppe team of designers AND designers from around the digital scrapbooking community who wanted to do whatever they could to help a friend when she needed us most. You'll find a template included in the fundraiser from me. I've shared a preview of it below the Forever preview. Please consider purchasing the Forever fundraiser or making a purchase from Ru's shop.

You can find at least one freebie from me each month. The first freebie this month is part of my Monthly Template Challenge. Click on the preview image below OR click on the Monthly Website Freebie tab in the navigation bar of my website to download a freebie at the beginning of every month with a chance to win $10 to my store.

The second template that you can download for free this month is an extra template for Month of Challenges 10: Fiddlesticks Number 89. It's a great way for you to show off all the layouts you make this month AND you can reuse it later if you need a collage template. Click on the image to download the freebie from the TLP forum. Remember, even if you aren't participating in Month of Challenges, you can still enter any of the challenges for a chance to win a coupon!

I'm so excited to share that there is one more free template for this month. It's part of the Month of Challenges "Filled Template" Challenge. Click on the image below to go to The Lilypad forum. You'll be able to add my template to your shopping cart in the store and then download. Enjoy and I hope you'll play along and fill up your layout!
