new

It's that time of year to make new calendar stuff! I have a few new things to share today, plus I though I'd share a few old favorites too.

I always use a weekly pocket card in my own pocket scrapping, and I like a certain style, but I don't necessarily want to use the same one every year. This year I thought I'd try something a little different and I made editable versions, so you can add in your own date and journaling.

I use these pocket templates so much, that I thought I would go ahead and offer an updated version. After using them for years, I've tweaked them with a few things and thought I would offer the updated version to you as well. The main change is that the templates now come with photo frames included. These are saved in Photoshop as a "smart layer", so if you double click on the frame layer, it will open in a new canvas and you can add your photo and journaling. I made the journaling more noticeable so that I would remember to add it!

I decided I probably didn't need to make a Christmas bundle this year, because we have a lot of Christmas bundles already. So you'll be pleased to know that following my reasonable thinking I made a giant Christmas bundle! I'm not even sure how it happened. It will be coming out December 1, but I thought I might give you a little sneak peek with these greeting cards I designed with the bundle. I figured if you actually wanted to mail one, you might need a bit of a head start.

Today I have stepped outside of my comfort zone and created a set of brushes and styles. Confetti and sequins are one of my favorite design elements, so I thought it would be a good idea to make my life a little easier and make some shapes and styles so I could create a scatter quickly and on the fly if I wanted.

I have a particular weakness for Halloween. I'm not sure what it is exactly (it's the candy) but every year I tell myself I probably don't need to make another Halloween bundle, and then I make one anyway. Also this isn't even the first time I made a kawaii Halloween bundle. (See the first one here.) So clearly I have a situation to deal with, and you'll have to bear with me because apparently the way I deal with it is by making cute Halloween bundles.
