Fun Font Friday

TGIF! I'm so excited for the weekend! I have relatives visiting from out of town this weekend. We're having a big family dinner tonight--complete with ribs, cornbread, salad, baked beans and more. I can't wait. It will also be nice to have some "down time" this weekend; the past two weekends have been filled with activities. I'm looking forward to not having too much on my agenda.

This week's font is Swirlvetica. I absolutely love the fun swirls in the middle of this font. It makes it perfect for a page of your favorite kiddos.

You can download the font here.

Have a great weekend and happy scrapping!

Speed Scrap Wednesday (6/12)

Piccolina Designs is hosting her first speed scrap at Stuff to Scrap. It will be this Wednesday, June 12th at 8pm MST.

Everyone who participates will get a her Happy Christmas kit. So come have a little Christmas in June!

Stars & Stripes Forever

I am so excited to finally reveal these products to you--they've been in the works for a long time! I ran across this palette last year and loved it. I thought it would be perfect for a patriotic-themed kit. It seemed like every time I sat down to work on it though something would crop up and it never got done. I finally hit the inspiration jackpot a few weeks ago and finished off the kit, along with a coordinating word art pack, quick page set, and kraft & cardstock pack. The products are perfect for pictures you've taken of celebrating patriotic holidays, summer barbecues, time at the lake and so much more.

First a look at what some creative team members did with the products.

Lauren also used my Chunky Wood alpha and a template by Meagan's Creations.

Ready for a full reveal? Here you go!

The kit includes 20 papers (15 patterned, five solid), 47 unique elements, and one customizable alpha (base layer + outline layer).

I also created a coordinating paper pack. It includes a total of ten papers: five solid cardstock and five kraft papers with grungy painted edges.

The word art pack includes 44 pieces of word art (41 unique, three in multiple colors) with a sticker-like feel. Shown to scale against a 12x12 background.

I also created a set of quick pages. This set of six 12x12 quick pages come in .png format and include room for between two and six photos. Just add your photos and any journaling or additional embellishment you want and go. So easy!

If you want to save money (and, let's face it, who doesn't?), you can purchase the products in a bundle which will save you 30% over the cost of purchasing them invididually.

Want just one of the products? They're 30% off through Sunday, June 9.

And finally, one lucky person won all four products. Using random.org, entry #8, Mary, was the big winner. Congrats! Mary, please send me an email at shelbellescraps {at} gmail {dot} com and I'll send you a coupon to get the collection free!

Have a great weekend and happy scrapping!

Fun Font Friday

TGIF! How's the weather where you live? I hope it's better than what we've been getting here--lots of rain, cold, and dreariness. I've had to use the heater in my car in June--I can't remember if that's ever happened before!

This week's font is called Blackout and is a great choice for page titles. Letters that contain open spaces (A, D, O, Q, etc.) are filled in giving the font a more solid feel. I can see clipping a patterned--or solid--paper to it to add an extra dash of fun to your page.

You can get the font here.

Have a great weekend and happy scrapping!

P.S. Stop by in later today when I'll reveal my latest kit and the contest winner!
