New Releases for 9/16/11 and Totally Template Make It Snappy 9/19/11

2011-09-17T10:51:00.000-05:00

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you! Of all the layout compositions available, a centered design is my favorite. While each template in Fuss Free: Stuck In The Middle (With You) Set 1 has a centered composition, each one varies in the photo shape and size as well as the types of paper blocks and elements used to enhance the design. Enjoy 20% off this Fresh Fruit item ~ image is linked to the Scrap Orchard Market.

I collaborated on a fun and informational e-book with SuzyQ Scraps called Topsy Turvy Templates. Go on a topsy-turvy ride with 11 ideas for modifying templates ~ these simple suggestions will help you stretch your stash, build 2-page layouts, and create cohesive albums. Includes over 45 scrapbooking tips PLUS a set of 4 exclusive templates from me ~ Fuss Free: Stuck In The Middle (With You) Set 2. This template set is also 20% off ~ image is linked to the Scrap Orchard Market. And if you are a newsletter subscriber, there is an exclusive percentage off coupon just for you.

At Scrap Orchard, we're starting another regular challenge called Totally Template Make it Snappy (TTMIS)! We are going to be holding these every third Monday of the month at 9 pm EST. The first TTMIS is Monday, September 19th at 9 pm EST. The next TTMIS will be on October 17th at 9 pm EST.

So exactly what is TTMIS? It is just like our fabulous Make It Snappy (speed scrap), but you'll be supplied with a template from me (Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs). After you download the template, you'll be given seven (7) instructions every ten (10) minutes that will take the template from "as is" to a whole new creation. All the other MIS directions apply: you have 1 hour 15 minutes after the last instruction to upload your marvelous new creation to the Make it Snappy gallery and post a link back in the challenge thread. The template preview and download link will be available 10-15 minutes before the start of the TTMIS so everyone has a chance to download and unzip the file. Of course, you get to keep the free template AND one lucky person will win a coupon to my store! Hope to see you there!

And last, but certainly not least, be inspired by some amazing layouts using Fuss Free: Stuck In The Middle (With You) Sets 1 and 2 by my Creative Team and the Scrap Orchard HoneyBees!

New Release for September 9, 2011, The Daily Digi Feature & Mega Kit BOGO!

2011-09-09T00:30:00.000-05:00

Most of the time I love to highlight one photo on my layouts, but I've been attempting to change this scrapping habit. Fuss Free: One Two Three Four is a template set perfect for those baby stepping out of single photo use (like me!). Start with template one that focuses on one photo and work your way up to using four photos on a page. You could easily add or remove photo spots on these templates for maximum versatility of this set. Enjoy 20% off this Fresh Fruit item ~ image is linked to the Scrap Orchard Market.

Scrap Orchard is being featured at The Daily Digi and if you sign up as a member, you get the mega "All About Me" (and tons of other goodies):

I created this layout using the All About Me mega kit and one of the templates in my All About Me two template pack included in the mega:

There is a BOGO coupon at the end of the article for Scrap Orchard mega kits. The only thing better than one mega is two ~ buy one mega, get one free! There's lots of fun information about Scrap Orchard as well as product highlights and inspirational layouts.
