I ((( heart ))) this!

I don't know about you, but I was certainly ready to have spring appear (and if it moves right on into summer...well that'l be okay too, I think)! Nothing reminds me of spring showers and the flowers yet to bloom like rainbows. So, lets celebrate with a few of my "inspirations"!

In honor of the beautiful rainbow, and in appreciation for your support as customers of Paperthreads and my cutting files, I've whipped up a set of rainbow inspired journal cards. They're sized to 3 by 4 inches (so perfect to slip into PL page protectors). Just print the JPG or PNG on your printer, cut with your trimmer, round the corners if desired, and you're ready to go!

Just a quick note to let you know I'm running a special on my collection "A box for All Seasons"


It's on sale right now through the 21st for just $11.99 which is 40% off the regular price. It's a super quick file to put together and you could have sweet little eggs as name tags on your Easter table. Or just make breakfast a little more special and fill it up with jelly beans as a surprise! (Just click on the photo or link above to go directly to the file at Paperthreads.)

Speedy sale!

I've been so busy catching a couple of great shopping deals this Black Friday that I totally forgot to set up some sales for YOU! That means we've just got time for a speedy sale. ALL of my files at Paperthreads will be 40% off on Saturday and Sunday, Nov 27 & 28.

But it gets even better...if you've been eying that Countdown to Christmas file, you've got to get moving! So to speed you on your way to completion I've marked it 60% off for the next two days as well. That means you can pick up that entire file collection for just $5.98! What a deal!

Did you see Sue's lovely creation?


Isn't it awesome? She is so speedy and does so much with love, you can just see it in her projects. Don't miss out on this, you can use all those files individually as well for cards, tags, and so much more.

BTW, I shop vicariously too, not such an adrenaline high, but still...
So...share you awesome finds this weekend in the comments below. I'll draw a winner from the comments on Monday to win my next file to the store (it's a great gift card holder, so perfect for this time of year).

While the cat's away...

Happy New Year!

A Happy New Year to everyone! To celebrate, I've got a super quick sale on all my files at Paperthreads. But you'd better hurry! They're only on sale until the ball drops at midnight!

A "cool" deal!

Just a little savings to pass along to you...
Home Depot is offering a Christmas Light Trade-In November 5th through the 15th. The deal is, trade in your old or even broken incandescent light strands for $3 off of the cost of a strand of LED lights. Some folks have reported that the LED strands only cost $6.97 right now, which brings the cost to just under $3. The real benefit is in the long term electricity savings! (*and in how many you can plug end to end without blowing the fuse! LOL!)


BTW, I haven't had a chance to stop by my HD yet, but these LED light strands might work well for the glass block projects, because then you wouldn't have to worry about them heating up. Of course, 50 LED lights might be pretty bright!

So, anyone out there used LED lights before? Any takers this year?

Wild Wednesday!

Welcome to Wild Wednesday! (Say that 10 times, really fast! LOL!)

What's Wild Wednesday you wonder? Well, it's my way of saying thanks to those of you who purchase my files! Each Wednesday I'm going to feature a wild deal on a single file. It'll only be good for 24 hours, so make sure that if you want it, you buy it at Paperthreads before midnight, Wednesday night, EST.

Today's Wild Wednesday wonder is particularly appropriate for this time of year...


It's my "Touchdown" file and it's 50% off for today only! So, get those sports pages done!

*It's not currently loaded in the store in SVG format, but it's on my agenda for today...so if you are a SCAL user, go ahead and grab the deal, then send me an email with proof of purchase, and I'll send the SVGs to you directly!

Did you hear???

Oh my! You don't want to miss this one...the designers have put together some fantabulous sales, freebies, and lots of yummy goodness! Keep checking back, because I'll let you know more...See you at the hop!

Hello to all my blog visitors, both old and new!

I hope you are enjoying your National Scrapbooking Day so far! I've been busy this week, prepping some new files for the store and getting ready for my sale. What's that you say? You didn't know? Well hurry on over to my section of the store at Paperthreads. You'll get the best deals today, all my files are 40% off! Don't worry if you can't get there today, because to celebrate my birthday tomorrow, all my files will be 30% off on Sunday May 3rd!

One of my latest files is my Living on the Edge Collection, it's a great deal anyway for those of you who love borders or paper edging, but with the sale it works out to just 26 cents per border file! (You can't get plain cardstock for that price, LOL!)

So what are you waiting for? Hurry on over to Paperthreads to check out the savings!

Just in case you want to try before you buy, I've got a great goody for you today to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. It's my Summer Sunflower file. I originally designed this to be cut large (like 11.5 inches!) as an overlay on a scrapbooking page, but it cuts well at 5 inches too, making it perfect for those of you with smaller width cutters or cardmakers!


Now this file is available for download today only, and it is still governed by my Terms of Use, so please, if you like the file and want to share the joy, please send your friends here directly instead of sharing the file!

You can download just the file type you need for your cutter, instructions and a pic of the finished project are included! *Sorry, the download link has expired* If you missed it, watch for it soon at Paperthreads!

And so our hero is on his way, but what awaits him???

When last we saw our hero he was biking on his way to the great National Scrapbooking Day sale at Jen Adkins Designs at Paperthreads. The question is, what will he find when he arrives...

dum, dum, dum (insert great dramatic music here!)

What's this I see? A new file? Packed full of classic comic book memorabilia?! Speech balloons, expressions, sound effects, and more?



Holy Toledo, Batman! We hope both our hero and the file make it to the store on time!

And that's not the end of our story, tune in tomorrow for the continuing adventures of (I don't know, I can't come up with a name for our hero...leave me a comment and make a suggestion...you might be featured in the next edition!)
