Bad blogger here with new goodies!

Michelle — Wed, 12 May 2010 20:29:11 +0000

LOL, yes, I have been an awful blogger lately haven’t I? DH had an unexpected week long business trip out of the country that turned things upside down for us, my parents came for a weekend visit, shampooed my carpets, did some gardening, been busy designing (yes, REALLY) and of course working my hinder off behind the scenes at Funky Playground. Whew!

First I want to show you this adorable collab I did with my pal Tara, AKA Geek Chic Scraps who is guesting at the Playground this month!

And a few layouts from the creative teams:

And if you missed my early bird chat, you can grab my goodie in my store now:

And some layouts with the wavers:

And today we’re kicking off our first ever Playgroup at Funky Playground! It’s where all of the designers used the same color palette to create minis, papers, elements, etc. in our own themes and you, the customer can mix-and-match them to create your OWN collab kit!

And here are my offerings to the playgroup:

New Releases!

Michelle — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:07:26 +0000

Now that I’m all settled in my new home at Funky Playground Designs, I thought it was about time to release the products that were in my Feb Grab Bag. LOL, better late than never! And I figured what the heck, let’s make them all 25% off through Sunday too!

And we’ve got a really cool sale going on this weekend that you won’t want to miss! Lost and Found is making a comeback as a once-a-month, weekend sale! Woot!!!

Well, you know that I’m going to toss some goodies in the sale….but, what will they be? You won’t know unless you drop by and look in the Lost and Found this weekend – but at $1.00 a piece, you know it’s going to be worth checking out!

What else is new? We recently opened up our forum to the public with the fabulous Shannon of Shanmomto4 Designs at the helm, feel free to stop in and chat with all the funky folks at the Playground.

And you know how we revealed our new chat room during the grand opening…well, we’re pleased to announce that our totally awesome site Admin, Cindy (AKA Scribler) will be hosting our very first monthly speed scrap in the chat room next Thursday, April 22nd at 9 pm EST. And there will be an extended version in the forum over the weekend for those who aren’t able to attend the actual chat. Oh, and did I mention there will be PRIZES?!

The long awaited….

Michelle — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 06:01:43 +0000

First of two things I’ve made you wait for…. the tabbed alphas to coordinate with all the other “tab” products I’ve created in the studio 365 line. Comes as a bundle or as individual colors. Get these for 20% off Thursday and Friday!

And the second thing you’ve been waiting for…the reveal of my grab bag! But it also means that the price is increasing from $3.00 to $3.99 as well. Which is steal a huge bargain…so don’t wait too much longer, because this deal won’t be available after Feb 28th!

New Release Day!

Michelle — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 06:01:33 +0000

Grab a chair because I have so many great new products to show you today – and an extra special deal as well!

That’s right! It’s grab bag month at The Digichick and I was struck with inspiration just in the nick of time – so I present to you my February Grab Bag! Grab it now while it’s just $3.00 because on Feb 18, I’ll be revealing the contents and increasing the price a bit. Either way, it’s a steal considering there are $16 worth of products in it!

And what’s a birthday week without a birthday kit – so I present to you this groovy retro-mod collaboration with Graham Like the Cracker called Another Candle on the Cake!

And here is a super sweet deal for you! Everyone who buys Another Candle on the Cake during the 20% off new release sale (today and tomorrow) will automatically be entered to win a $5 coupon to my store! Winner will be drawn, announced and emailed their code on Feb 8th.

I also decided to make the alpha available for sale separately – great for birthday banner projects!

And last, but certainly not least, my collaboration with Captivated Visions, From Boy to Man is now available for purchase in my store at The Digichick and are also included in the 20% off sale, so if you missed the collab or the stacked paper add-on during Captivated Visions’ Guest Spot at The Digichick, you can still get a copy!

And don’t forget, everything except collabs, commercial use and the above new releases are all 30% off through Feb 6th!

And now for some CT inspiration (and sneak peeks at what’s in the grab bag!)

Studio 365

Michelle — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 06:01:25 +0000

Today the designers at The Digichick are kicking off Studio 365, a line of products which will make it easy for you to scrap your Project 365 photos.

What? Never heard of Project 365? The concept is to record your everyday life in photos over the course of a year. One photo per day – thus 365 photos. But, scrapbookers are taking this concept to the next level by putting their weekly (or monthly) photos in layout format.

That’s where Studio 365 comes into play – the designers at The Digichick are coming together to provide you with a color-coordinated line of products throughout 2010, which are specifically geared towards scrapping daily, weekly or monthly photo projects. Of course, these products could be used for your regular scrapbooking too!

Here are my first Studio 365 products (images linked to the store) – and remember, they’re 20% off today and tomorrow!

And some layouts from the Creative Teams:

It’s release day!

Michelle — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 06:01:42 +0000

If you missed out on my Black Friday Freebie, never fear, Candy Cane Lane {alpha} is now for sale in my store! Remember, all the new releases are 20% off Thursday and Friday!

And I’ve unpacked the November Grab Bag – here’s what was inside (if you hadn’t peeked at my reveal)- and the images are linked to the store.

And some CT inspiration:

A Grab Bag, A Sale and New Stuff…oh my!

Michelle — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:01:35 +0000

Get ready for a long post folks…but trust me, it will be totally worth it because I have soooo much to share with you!

November Grab Bag

To kick things off, November is Grab Bag month over at The Digichick and I’ve put together my very first grab bag for you! I am just thrilled with how it turned out and I really hope you love it too… You get over TWENTY DOLLARS worth of products for a measly $3.99 – yeah, really!

The bag will only be available for the month of November – after that, everything will be unpacked and sold at the regular price, so don’t miss out on this great bargain!

The preview and awesome layouts the CT created didn’t give you enough of an idea of what was inside? Well, if you’re like me and hate surprises, just head over to THIS PAGE for a reveal of all seven products inside this awesome bag!

We Can Build a Snowman Collab

I was just thrilled beyond belief when Elise of Elise’s Pieces Designs asked me to collaborate with her on this super adorable kit. Full of gorgeous shades of blue, violet and brown with splashes of bright and cheery colors – this kit is great for all those winter layouts and hybrid crafts! The possibilities are endless!

Oh and lookie here, you can even buy just the papers – perfect for you hybrid crafters who like to print your papers and then add “real” embellishments:

Please note that this collab is for sale in Elise’s store only – so you will need to click on those lovely images above in order to buy them!

Oh and lookie here, an awesome hybrid project too!

Winter 2008 Re-Releases

No, I’m not done yet…not even close! I designed so many fun winter separates last year that I thought I’d re-release some of my favorites so that those of you who are just now discovering my designs could get a hold of these gems. Even if you haven’t been a fan that long, you might want to double check your stash before grabbing any of these items as they’ve been sold in a couple other stores before The Digichick – most notably the Foil Flakes were released over at Christina Renee Designs when I was a guest at her block party. All images are linked.

Digital Scrapbooking Day Sale

Oh, you thought I was done? Nope! Still more bargains for you!

Guess what, instead of our regularly scheduled, new release sale; The Digichick is celebrating Digital Scrapbooking Day with a huge THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OFF SALE, now through Sunday.

That’s four wonderful days for you to browse through my store and grab all those goodies off your wishlist at super low prices! How cool is that?

New Releases and Freebie!

Michelle — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:01:29 +0000

I have a secret obsession. I love labels. I love labeling things. I love organizing things. I love organizing my labels. LOL

So I present to you….wedding party labels! They come in both silver and golden versions and each includes a couple cute little extras to embellish your labels, or photos, or what-have-you!

These would be so cute on cards, brag book pages, photo albums, and yes, scrapbooking layouts! Don’t you think?

Get them for 20% off today and tomorrow! (images are linked)

And then, of course, my CT Leader, Cindy has been pestering me to make her some elegant papers in her wedding colors so she can use them with the labels….and I finally got off my lazy butt and made them for her! LOL

Here are some fab layouts from the CTs to inspire you:

Of course, I couldn’t resist playing too – and November is coming up, so figured I’d make you all a new desktop!
