Sugar Moon has a new kit in the shop at Designs In Digital. It's a retro feeling kit for all the babies in your life - it works well for new and old babies alike!

It comes with 12 full sized papers (12"x12" 300 dpi) and over 30 elements to scrap lots and lots of adorable baby photos!!!  It seems that lately so many women I know are having babies, it inspired me to create something a little different from the norm - yet something very traditional and classic, with a whimsical little twist!

Don't forget I've also got several new kits out for the summer - including Summer Camp, Lemonade Stand, and most recently Sand Dollar - perfect kits for your summer memories!

Oh, and don't forget if you spend over $15.00 you get the HUGE Anniversary collab for FREE

(The collab is packed with 66 papers, 1 mesh scroll, 1 mat, 2 alphas, 1 flower chain, 1 clipped flower, 1 flower scatter, 3 branches, 13 flowers, 2 ribbon flowers,  3 diamond/gem boarders, 2 set of photo corners, 1 pinned tag, 2 page boarders, 10 frames, 15 various ribbons & bows, 5 brads, 1 felt heart, 2 word arts, 1 template, 1 chandelier, 1 set of bubbles, 1 champagne bottle, 1 diamond bling, 1 couple silhouette, 4 swirls, scatters, 1 hanging heart, 1 set of silver hearts, 1 stamp, and 1 butterfly.)  It's really an awesome kit!

Last, but most certainly not least, I have a really fantastic FREE add-on kit for you. It goes with my new digital scrap booking kit, BABY BOOM!. It comes with papers, elements and an alpha!

As you may have heard there was a lot of trouble recently with a host provider in the digital scrapbook world. Designs In Digital and therefore Sugar Moon Designs was down for several day so if you tried to use the links I provided, they went nowhere! To try to help you out, Designs In Digital is offering a great coupon to welcome back our site and I want to share it with you. Hopefully this will make up for the recent frustration! Now get on over there and load up on supplies! YAY!  Also, I'm leaving up my post and link so you can still download the free quickpage at the end of the post. Thanks!

Since summer is right around the corner I got inspired to make a digital scrapbooking kit based on the theme of  summer camp.  It works great for all those photos of picnics, marshmallow roasts, fishing, campouts and even SUMMER CAMP! Here's a preview of the entire kit. It contains 13, 12x12" papers, 300 dpi and has over 30 elements for all your summer photo needs! It's available at Designs In Digitial - my store has just opened and this is the first kit I'm offering - go... okay finish reading this then go!

It's pretty isn't it? I think it turned out really well - here are some layouts I've done with it so you can get a feel for the kit.

So much fun!!!  And now a little something for you to add on to this kit . . . a free frame and quickpage.  You can see on the layout the quickpage - and I've also included the frame separate so you can use it on a different paper if you like.

Here is my new kit for the Designs in Digital Contest. This week we were asked to create a "masculine" kit. My inspiration was Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. This was the palette I chose to work from

Here is a preview of the kit. It contains 6 12x12" papers, (three patterned and three solids), one complete alpha set, and 12 scrapbook elements. You can download the mini-kit, as well as other designers kits from the Designs In Digital website. Click on the preview to go to the download page.

Here is a layout I did with the kit. I used a photo of David on our wedding day because he really looks the part in his zoot suit! I hope you can find something fun to do with the kit!

Wow. I am so ready for spring, how about you? Here in the midwest it's hard not to get spring fever around this time, but the weather is so unpredictable. As soon as you're counting on winter being over, here comes a last blast to ruin all your plans!

This sunday I'm having a spring brunch for my family. I wanted to do it before Easter because everyone has plans and it doesn't always work out that we can get together, but this weekend I think everyone can make it and I hope it turns out to be fun and cheerful!  For part of my decorations I made bird silhouettes on decorative paper and just clothes pinned them to a piece of twine strung across the dining room. What could be simpler? I wanted to give the impression of spring birds perched on the clothes line - I can't wait for all the little birds to come back for the season! I have just begun seeing robins in the neighborhood so I know spring will soon be here in full force!

I made a copy of the birds for you, just in case you need to add some spring cheer to your house.  Just click on the link and download the pdf. I would recommend printing them on cardstock. You can clip them, or glue them, or punch a hole in them and string them up - or hey, even make them into a mobile! Whatever makes you happy!

I wanted to share with you some digital scrapbooking work that I've done recently. I entered the Next Designs In Digital Designs Star contest. It's been very challenging so far. I love scrapbooking, and I've done it since Gabby was little, but I've only been working with digital scrapbooking for about a year, so compared to the others in the contest I think I'm pretty much the newbie.

Each week is a new challenge and the kits that are designed are offered as a free download. If you like working with photos, or design you should really go check this out. It's so much fun, and you'll be addicted right away.

This week I created a small kit called "Italian Villa"  My digital scrapbooking work is done under the cristoba at "Sugar Moon" name, just to confuse you a bit! This is a preview of the kit, it contains 8 12x12" papers and 16 scrapbook elements. All files are high res jpgs or pngs.  Check out the other designer's work too - they have created some really lovely stuff that you'll love as well.  Designs in Digital also has a scrapbook shop where you can buy some really awesome papers and elements for your projects.  Okay, seriously go now and check it all out. Click on the image to take you to the kit!

Here is the preview of the kit I designed last week for the first week of competition.  Obviously it's a Sci-Fi theme . . . and we all know I'm a little geeky nerd so of course I designed it! I'm not sure if this kit is still available for download, but you can still check it out in the gallery. I hope you can do something good with them!

Here is a down-loadable Advent Calendar for you! I've made one with a list of activities, and also a blank one so you don't like the activities I've chosen, you can fill it up with activities that your family enjoys.

To construct the calendar, all you need to do is print both pages of the calendar onto card stock. Take an x-acto knife and cut each numbered box on THREE sides to make a little "door." Then glue the page with the activities onto the back of the numbered "doors" so that when you open a numbered door you can read the activity on the second page.

Have fun counting down to Christmas!

I've looked around and I couldn't really find a Thanksgiving Planner that suited my needs - so I made one.  I'm posting it here to share with you in case you could use one too! I created this assuming that you will be doing all the work yourself - but if you're having a pot luck style Thanksgiving, you could keep track of who is bringing what dishes on the "notes and ideas" page - just make an extra copy.  I also thought that if you found pictures in magazines or online of centerpieces, or place settings, etc., you could tape them to the notes page for your reference. There are so many nice ideas out there it's hard to decide which ones to use!

Just click on the image to download a pdf of the planner. I hope it helps make your Thanksgiving a little less stressful!
