Lazuli

I am a big fan of the color blue, especially cobalt and rich shades, like navy. Lazuli, the newest release from Blue Flower Art, grabbed my attention with its delicate patterns and flowing stitches - all in shades of lapis lazuli (another shade of blue).

Artsy Fall

Lately, we've experienced Indian Summer around here - cool mornings and warm days. I actually like the cool mornings, but I'm not fond of the warm days. In fact, I'm ready for summer to be over!

The Artsy Fall Collection from Pretty Dutch Designs is just what you need to slowly transition into a new season. With soft, muted colors of the season, the collection is versatile enough to use for other themes, like Thanksgiving!

Nerds Have More Fun

Today, Quirky Heart has a great new collab with Little Butterfly Wings called Nerds Have More Fun!

She

SHE.

Interesting how just a single word can evoke so much. Crafty Button Design takes advantage of this single word to create an awesome mini kit!

This kit is not just pink, it embodies the spirit and attitude of being female.

Right now, this new release is 20% off at the Crafty Button Design shop. It makes lots of wonderful pages to celebrate the SHE in you. Just look at what the Crafty Button Design has for your viewing pleasure:

Textured Photo Overlays

Do you ever have those photos that would be perfect if they just had a filter? I have tons of them, especially from photos taken on my cell phone, lol! Now, Pretty Dutch Designs has a brand new pack of Textured Photo Overlays to make any so-so photo look fabulous!

Just looking at the preview, it's hard to tell what these overlays might do for your photos. So here are a few examples:

I tried one of the textured overlays on my brightly lit photos from a recent trip to the park:

Although I do like the original, the textured overlay gave my photo a nice vintage touch, plus it also toned down the too bright background of the bark. 

See how much fun you can have with your photos - pick up the 6-pack of Textured Photo Overlays for less than $2.50 through Sunday!

Version 2 - Configurations and Hand-Carved Stamps
