zzs blog challenge no:12 encouraging words

There's a new Blog Challenge over at Zig Zag Scrap and you get the coolest freebie by Cheeky Monkey Designs!

We love to go through all the fabulous layouts that enter the contest. I just can't understand that so many people download the freebies we give away for the challenges but do not participate in the challenge itself!
I mean if you download it you must like it. If you like it enough to download it you must use it on a layout. Right?
So.....why not post the layout in the challenges gallery and get 2 dollars discount on your next 4 dollar purchase at Zig Zag Scrap just for posting it?

This is what you can play with for Challenge no. 12

and here is some inspiration:

new release: My Cuppa Tea

I loooooooove tea! My favorites? Jasmin, Mint, Earl Grey and Darjeeling. Always hot with no sugar and not too dark! I know some of my friends are real tea addicts too. Cindy recently gave a High Tea Birthday party. We all brought something to eat. Man you can't believe how many calories there were on the table!

So for all us tea lovers I made this new kit which I think is really very versatile and can be easily used on other subjects.

It contains:
- 12 papers (7 patterned and 5 solid papers)
- 54 elements
- 1 lowercase alpha

Here's the preview

zzs blog challenge no:11 Sweet Promise

We are having another blog challenge over at ZZS and this time I made the freebie!!!!

I was asked to make a small freebie that contestants can use to make a layout and enter the contest with. This is the inspirational photo:

The cute little bird bowls are by Tasha Mckelvey who besides these got-to-have bowls has many more cool clay goodies in her Etsy shop! Maybe you would like to take a peek at her beautiful blog first and learn more about her! Thanks for giving us permission to use the photo Tasha! You rock!

After seeing 'my' inspirational picture you must understand that I could not stop creating!
Not only did I make the freebie for the challenge, I created this whole kit which contains 8 beautifully textured papers and 38 arty, collage like elements. I am sure it will inspire to make some beautiful layouts!

If you wish to get the freebie and enter the contest, you can get the download link and all the information you need about the challenge on the ZZS blog.Because of the time difference it might not be up when you read this post. If so please try again later you will not be sorry you did!!
