This weekend I added a new collection of stamps to the Sweet Shoppe. This is a fun collection of big grungy stamps that I’m calling Graffiti Grunge. A ton of bold and grungy graphic stamps.

I’m selling each set individually, or you can pick up the full set and save the price of one full set.

You can pick them up in the Sweet Shoppe HERE.

Check out some pages that the team has done with them:

Artic Flyer by Kirsty, using the Graffiti Grunge Arrows. You can see the credits HERE.

Wet Play by Laura, using the Graffiti Grunge Flourishes. You can see the credits HERE.

Getting Messy by Jen, using the Graffiti Grunge Flourishes. You can see the credits HERE.

I’ve been playing too with these this weekend, and I think they add such a great touch to a page (I’ll show off my pages soon)! But I am seriously SOOOOO excited about these that I wanted to make a little something to share for a bit to show them off. So for a limited time here you go:

Enjoy this full set of grungy, boyish and cool word stamps, made with the ever so cool Graffiti Grunge texture! Included are the PNG files and also a brush set for photoshop.

You can download these brushes for a limited time before I put them up for sale – just click HERE. And if you like them be sure to check out the collection at SSD.

Editing to add, I’ve taken these down now!  THANK YOU for all the lovin’   If you missed them you can find them at ssd for a really low price this weekend
Thanks for stopping by – and be a good little freebie hunter and leave me some love!

(If you haven’t been by in a while, I’ve been a good poster for the past week, so keep reading! I’m doing better at blogging people really I am!)

I’m Awake… I’m Awake…

Sorry I’ve been such a mia loser lately! I seriously did think I might be pregnant already (mostly because I’m totally neurotic) – but no such luck this month – seems like it was just an exceptionally tiring bout of pms – on a good note though – I’m finally up like full days at a time, so that is good

Now that I’m not asleep, I’m trying to make up for lost time, and working extra hard on a fun project with Lauren Grier over at SSD- I’ve also been trying to get really consistent in general, about keeping the house manageable and to boot I REALLY REALLY want to release at least one new thing weekly on Sweet Shoppe Saturdays – my goal is, to be consistent enough that I think I can afford to PAY someone else to come in and scrub the toilets and the floors and stuff, since goodness knows I’d rather be creating than scrubbing!

Well today is Valentines day, and I’m really excited, g and I have a decided officially to stop trying to go out of Valentines day because I swear every year our plans get ruined because of the kids being sick, or the sitter being unavailable, so for the past few years, we’ve just been home bodies, we get curbside and eat a yummy dinner at home – I’m really looking forward to our “date”.

Also, Gareth and I had a TON of fun designing/making his valentines this year! We found this idea online to make pencil toppers with a pipe cleaner and a foam heart, so we sort of modified ours just a bit and together we designed some valentines in Photoshop (he was adorable helping me pick stuff out from dani’s Crazy love kit and a paper heart I made – he insisted we throw my heart in there – “since you’re famous mom” he said )

Here are our marvelous creations!

Note they all say “you’re cool” well after lots of discussion Gareth decided that was a safe thing to say, as to not give any girls the wrong idea… Seriously, already thinking of their feelings, so very thoughtful!

Okay so, I am trying to finish this post up so I can get back to what I really should be doing, but first, a few little treats:
If you go to MY STORE you can pick up my All You Need Is Love brushes totally for free today only .

ALSO, because I love my bloggy readers so much, and because last week I was so tired that I couldn’t finish anything I started, here is a set of grungy solids and 1 fun patterned paper that was going to be the beginning of a valentines kit – but of course, valentines kits don’t get made in ones sleep – so my utter laziness is your gain -

I’ll probably just keep this up like today and tomorrow, so spread the word if you’d like, and you can download it HERE, the grunge is a bit intense on the solids, but that is how I personally love it, so you’ll have to let me know what you think.

Oh, and while I’m blogging, don’t miss my newest doodles up at SSD:

I made them as brushes and stamps, and also as grungy paper doodles, so you can take your pick they are over in the Shoppe at Sweet Shoppe Designs.

Okay well that is all for me – i need to get busy on mom stuff and designing stuff – plus, i absolutely have to take a shower!

Have a really really awesome valentines day everyone!

(PSST – leave me some love!)

Well since I started here a year ago giving away “stapms” (that the way someone that is typo prone spells stamps), I thought it would be fun to re upload and pass out the sets I’ve given away throughout the year.

Now, bear in mind, some of these were drawn with a sharpie, most of these don’t have a brush set, and ALL of these were done a long time ago, so no guarantees about quality! but they are all fun and unique and they all came from my heart

These are the first set of stamps I gave away at this blog, they are saved as two single files that you can select and copy the images from, and hopefully have a little fun from them too!! Download them HERE

This set of stamps is SOOOOO special to me! I made this set when I found out our dear online friend (and now my CT member!) Erin Black, went into remission. I still tear up just thinking about that day, and thinking about how lucky I am to have her in my life. These were repackaged for NDISB so they are in pretty good shape. Download them HERE.

This set was inspired by a totally cool blog that has gotten quiet, but used to be one of my favorite places! “The Eggers” were some anonymous digi scrappers that encouraged and recognized people that encouraged the scrapbooking community. This particular post moved me SO much that I just had to make a set of “stapms”. Download this brush and stamp set HERE.

These were made to celebrate Mothers Day they have a fun crayon texture and I’m sure you’ll enjoy, download this set HERE.

Last I have this set of brushes and stamps that I made as a freebie for a tutorial that Jen Caputo wrote:

You can download this set of brushes and stamps HERE

I also did a few other freebies that have all been turned into products in the store. Arrow Fun, Polka Flowers, All You Need is Love, I did a Happy Birthday Mini Kit, a Grass is Always Greener Paper Pack, and A few other things that are all SUPER cheap right now with the sale going on .It has been a great year of blogging with lots to talk about for me ofcourse ! Thanks to everyone who has been here, commenting and reading and brightening my days – I appreciate you all so much!

Here’s to another great year on the blog!
