<<<<<<<<<<<<<*~ROSEMARY SIMEON~*>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ladies, please email me at fayettedesigns@comcast.net so that I can get your codes to you. This kit will be available on September 10, so you're going to have to be patient for a while. But you know me, I'm always soooooo accommodating. Here's a little sneak peek to make you drool while you wait.

Can I just tell you that this is THE MOST eclectic kit I've ever done. I think I put everything but the kitchen sink in it. Oh wait...there is a sink in it. Oooops...nope, there's a couch in it. Lol...you may think I'm kidding, but I'm not :P Lots of designs that may seem oddly paired, but when I explain the theme to you, I really hope it makes sense. Lol, if it doesn't, just smile at me and pretend like it does. It's been a looooooong week already!

I woke up feeling generous again this morning, and decided to thank my loyal and new customers! So, here's the newest twist in my generosity - if you've purchased any of my BLOOM designs over the weekend, or if you purchase it by tomorrow, August 30, you'll be entered in a drawing to win the next kit in my Time4Me series.

New Designs, A Sale....and a FREEBIE!

I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to summer - Hey, it's only August, it's been HOT here in Utah lately (like pushing 100F), the gardens are at their peak...it's STILL SUMMER! Why are we rushing things? I love fall, but I'm not ready for it yet!

I was working in my gardens the other day, feeling like I was in a bit of a creative slump...and then it happened. I was inspired by all of the flowers that were growing (among the weeds), and decided to do a kit that was all about flowers! “Bloom” is the result. My flowers don’t look exactly like the designs in this kit, but hey, I tried!  I know that many designers are working on school & fall designs now, but I'm gonna enjoy the rest of summer and enjoy every last petal on my flowers (HOWEVER....I have an over abundance of zucchini, tomatoes, green beans and WEEDS, so if you'd like some, and you're in northern Utah...come on over!) If you're like me, and you're not ready for summer to be over, then take some time to enjoy this new kit!  “Bloom” can be used for any theme you can think of, from gardening to goals, babies to birthdays and more!

As usual, I've bundled everything for this theme and have discounted it....and to top it off, I've also put all of my new "Bloom" Designs on sale for 25% until Aug. 30....so you actually save 36% on Bloom - The Bundle!

It will probably come as NO SURPRISE to you that I couldn't stop designing once I got started. So, I took some of the extra goodies and created a fab little Add-On Kit that's filled with great papers, elements & wordart designs!

Check out this set of alphas...I didn't do just one multi-colored alpha. I did this slightly wrinkled and tattered block alpha in SEVEN colors - yes, I have this thing about wanting the right letter in the right color. And, it never fails, if I just do a mixed colored alpha, I never have the right combo. That won't be an issue with this set *snicker* I think I may need a support group for alphas or something....just sayin'. Who's with me? Anyway, this set coordinates perfectly with the "Bloom" designs and so much more...it will become your "go to" alpha before you know it.

We want our kids to “bloom” as the new school year starts, we want to “bloom” in our homes & careers.  I watch as my grandkids grow, and bloom into beautiful little people....“Blooming” can mean so many things....so I tried to do some titles that could be used in several ways. Use your imagination and see what “Blooms” on your digi projects, and then share your projects in The Ettes Gallery at PBP!

I decided to try the Short Stacks again for this theme....so much fun to use. If I didn't convince you with the last set, believe me with this one...they're EASY to use - just ask lbrtychic from my CT...she used one, created a darling layout, and it took her about five minutes. If you like speedy, creative layouts, that allow you to kinda do your own thing, then try these out!

So...just a reminder - all "Bloom" Designs are discounted 25% through Aug. 30...don't delay!

I can't even put into words how much I love the ladies on my CT - they're amazingly talented, sooooo much fun to work with, and so willing to work with my totally unreasonable deadlines. I love it even more that they're spread all over the world! I gave them 24 hours to work with this kit (I know, someone should schmack me!)...here are just a few of the GORGEOUS projects they created with my "Bloom" Designs:

Be sure to visit The Ettes Gallery at PBP to see the rest of my CT's gorgeous projects...and be sure to leave them some lovin' while you're there!

If you've made it this far, you deserve a reward...and here it is. Enjoy this free Frame Cluster that I designed using my "Bloom" Designs. Simply put it on a background paper, add your photo, title, additional embellishments if you'd like...and you'll have a completed layout in minutes!

Enjoy!

How about a COUPON CODE to save 50%!

We're back from a vacation to the west coast, and I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things....but errmmmm...I think I left my "art" in San Francisco! (Sing that in your best Tony Bennett voice!) Speaking of our trip, we took Pat the Pickle from PBP with us. He had a great time, and we got lots of strange looks from the locals *grin*. I thought I'd share a couple of the pics of Pat's Travels!

This shot was taken from the 31st floor at the Dutch Consulate in San Francisco. Pat found out that he's afraid of heights! 

Pat enjoyed cruising the bay & seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in spite of the fog! 

We threatened to leave Pat at Alcatraz, but I didn't have the heart to do it. He's such a sweet pickle (no pun intended!)

Since I don't have anything new to put in the shop this week, I decided to give you a COUPON CODE to save 50% on any purchase over $10. That way you can stock up on some of my designs that may be on your "wish list", and get a great deal! This code will only work on my designs, so check the product banner to make sure it says "designed by Fayette Terlouw" on it.

So, here's an invitation to take advantage of my generosity, and stock up and save. This code can only be used one time per customer, so be sure to get everything you want before you check out...and use it by August 23!

Save 25% on all New Time4Growth Designs!

Time4Growth is the fourth in my "Time4Me" Series. Sometimes life's challenges get us down. Don't let that happen! Scrap them with my Time4Growth Dig-Ette-al Kit! Change is difficult, but it usually brings personal growth - you know what they say, if it doesn't kill you, it makes you strong! Although challenges aren't always pleasant, they're a part of our story, so be sure to tell that part of your story with this kit!

Although this kit wasn't specifically designed for gardening themes, it can also be used for that, too...any kind of growth. Give these designs a try, and be sure to share what you create with us in The Ettes Gallery at PBP.

As always, you can save 25% on all of my newly released designs...so that means you'll actually SAVE 36% on Time4Growth - The Bundle! Get it while you can...the sale isn't going to last for long!

Rather than doing quick pages this time, I did some "Short Stacks". I think you'll LOVE working with these as soon as you get the hang of it. You get this great "stacked" background, and all you have to do is add your photos, title & journaling, and then layer some additional elements over them to help them "blend in". They provide a "short cut" to getting your layouts done! Give my Short Stacks a try...you'll love them!

The Creative Team has out done themselves again with this set...so many gorgeous layouts that come from the heart. I'll show just a few of them full size. Be sure to go to the gallery and leave them some love!

...and last but not least, I have a little freebie for you. I wanted you to be able to give the "Short Stacks" a test drive to see how fun and easy they are to use (although, I know...at first, you're not going to be quite sure how to use them.) Just jump in, throw some stuff on the page, and see how quickly you finish a beautiful layout!

If you didn't get the Lolly Bag...then grab my Hey Girlfriend Designs!

 If you didn't manage to pick up my Lolly Bags during the first few days of PBP's Birthday Celebration...don't panic. "Hey Girlfriend!" is now available in the PBP Shop....and this time it includes quick pages! PBP is having a fantastic sale from August 3 through August 10, so head over to the shop and SAVE 40% on everything in the shop (except bundles). That way you won't have to kick yourself for not grabbing it last weekend when I was basically giving it away :P Btw...you won't actually SEE this kit in the shop because it doesn't go live until Thursday night, but if you click the links below, you can buy them when the Birthday Sale at PBP starts!





Use these stylish "customizable" Avatars to create a gallery of girlfriends (or even use one as your avatar in your forums, on FB, etc...you can see where I'm going with this, can't you?)













New to the set this week is this set of Quick Pages. You can buy them individually, or as part of the bundle (buy them separately this week, coz you'll save more that way!)



The Creative team made SO MANY gorgeous layouts with this fun set of designs. Here are just a few!
