A Sale...and another Contest!

After a long, cold winter and a crazy, cool spring, we're FINALLY enjoying some summer weather here in Utah. To celebrate, we're having a sale in our PBP Shop!

And...just to keep things interesting, I thought I'd have another little contest. I'll be releasing my next kit in my Time4Me series in a couple of weeks. So, I'm going to give you a sneak peek here with a chance to WIN!  Post a comment to this post, and tell me what you think the theme of my new kit is. If you have more than one idea, enter them in different comments to increase your chance to win! Hey...it might give me some great ideas for future kits. Everyone that leaves a comment will be entered in the drawing to win some of the new designs. Enter your comments by July 1. I'll draw for the winners by July 3.
Here's the sneak peek!


And...remember to download our FABULOUS 4th! freebie, created by CT Member, Liberty Cameron.

(This layout makes me laugh, but I have to admit, I feel bad for the sweet little guy in the photos, too! Hey, contrary to what you may have heard, I DO have a heart *grin*) MaryRuth's little guy was SO afraid of the fireworks...we've all been there. Unfortunately, when my oldest daughter was screaming her lungs out during the fireworks a long time ago, I didn't have the composure to think of taking pics. Oh man...I WISH I HAD! This layout is going to be a fun one for him to look back on!

Don't forget to enter the drawing over at the My Memories Blog where I'm their featured designer this week! You could win a $50 or one of two $10 gift certificates to my shop there!

Check out Our Shop at My Memories, and come back here to our BLOG & leave a comment telling me which of my designs you like the best (Just read in the text in the MMS shop to see if I designed it, or if Annette did, unless you're confident that you can tell my designs from hers....sometimes it's not that easy! :)

Request a friendship with ME on Facebook - I use this almost exclusively for my designs...so that's why I'll give you another entry for doing this. Besides, you can never have too many friends, can you? Come back here and leave a SEPARATE comment (yes, again, I know I'll see the friend request, but it makes it SO MUCH EASIER to do the drawings if you post here!)

New from Fayette - Time4Dreams

Time4Dreams is the second release in my Time4Me Series. We all have dreams, whether it’s to travel to exotic places, get an education, or even to just get through a difficult time that we’re facing. We need to make those dreams part of our stories that we leave behind. That’s the point of my Time4Me series..to create pages about US and help our friends and family know who we REALLY are. The gorgeous elements, papers and wordart in this kit will help you tell that story in a beautiful way!







All of the Time4Dreams designs are discounted 25% through Sunday, June 12. Since the Bundle's normal price is discounted 15%, that means that during the sale, you'll actually save 36% on The Bundle! I can't even tell you how much fun it is for me to see the gorgeous layouts that our CT creates with each new set of designs. They've outdone themselves with this kit, again! They created so many gorgeous layouts that I can't show them all here. Be sure to visit The Ettes Gallery at PBP so that you can be even more inspired by their talent. While you're there, be sure to leave a little lovin' on some of the gorgeous layouts!

Although I'm always amazed at the talent of these ladies, there are times when the stories that they share on their layouts move me more than I can say. That happened several times with the layouts created for this set, but I'd like to feature one layout that literally moved me to tears. This layout by Mother Bear is stunning to look at. Her placement of the elements, and the balance that she's created just draw your eye in. It has an almost whimsical feel. But, the most impressive part of this layout to me is the journaling. This is EXACTLY what I hoped that this Time4Me series of designs would encourage. Take time to read it. It may just change the way you create your pages in the future.






I hope you find inspiration in these designs and the projects that our CT has created with them.

Fayette is Featured in The Digi Files!

I'm more than thrilled to be featured as one of the designers in The Digi Files this month! I created a new kit called "Sandbox Summer" just for this project. It's such a fun kit, stuffed with designs perfect for creating projects about happy, ordinary summer days with your family! It will be available through The Digi Files until June 30 - this is a fantastic deal for those of you who aren't familiar withThe Digi Files. You get full kits from several designers - a value of  at least $50 for a ridiculously LOW price! If you're interested in buying The Digi Files, check it out here.  My kit will be revealed at The Daily Digi sometime today. If you don't see it right off the bat, just check back a little later. Here's the preview of this fantastically fun kit!


If you don't buy the kit through The Daily Digi, rest assured, you'll be able to get it at PBP, but you'll have to be patient! Sandbox Summer, the full Dig-Ette-al Kit, will be available in my shop at Pickleberrypop on July 1!

To celebrate being featured in The Digi Files, we're having a sale in our PBP Shop! Everything will be DISCOUNTED 30% Monday, June 6 ONLY - even the new stuff shown below!

Once I started designing for this theme, I just couldn't stop! Check out the adorable "extras" that I designed for Sandbox Summer. All extras are available exclusively at PBP right now (and I think I mentioned that they're on sale!) Here's a preview of the extra goodies I designed.






I have to tell you, that we have THE MOST TALENTED scrappers on our Creative Team. They really ROCKED this kit again (and yes, I know I say that every time, but hey....it's true!) Be sure to visit The Ettes Gallery at PBP and leave them some loving on these fabulous layouts!

 
So, be sure to head over & check out my feature day at The Daily Digi and pick up a great deal on loads of digi designs this month! Then, be sure to head back to our PBP Shop and pick up all of the coodinating goodies!
