February Kit Spotlight: BasicGrey J'Adore Day #2

The grid layout, based on this month's featured sketch from www.pagemaps.com was a popular layout option among our designers for the BasicGrey J'Adore layout kit. Rochelle used this kit and this month's sketch to create yesterday's layout, and Deborah used the same kit and sketch to create today's layout. I love how Deborah used the rub-ons and some additional elements from the kits to embellish the boxes. Sweet and simple...

TSR Member Gallery Update: Save Your Photos!

Good Morning, Friends! I wanted to give everyone a heads up that we will be disabling the TSR Message Board and Member Gallery at the end of February. Over the past few years, it has been a constant target for spammers, and since social media has shifted and we've moved our updates to the blog and to our TSR Facebook page, the message board and member gallery are no longer the active sites that they were in years past.

Going forward, we will continue to utilize our blog and our Facebook page to remain in contact with our customers, and soon we'll be adding Pinterest to our regularly updated social media venues. I'll keep you posted on the details as soon as we're set up and ready to go there.

In the meantime, if there is anything in our Member Gallery or Message Board archives that you need to download before we shut it down, please take the next ten days to do that. I will not have access to any uploaded photos after the member gallery has been deactivated.

And on that note, a blog post without a photo is boring, so I'll close with a bit of layout inspiration created with our February Flavors of the Month Kit...

February Kit Spotlight: Crate Paper Kiss Kiss Day #4

It's Friday, and the weekend is upon us! YEA! Don't you just love Fridays? They seem to almost literally lift a little bit of weight off of the shoulders for a few minutes...

I hope you'll have some time this weekend to pull out your February kits and create a layout or two. If you're looking for a quick-and-easy two-page layout, Brenda Carpenter's February Recipe Card, using the Crate Paper Kiss Kiss layout kit, gives you a great place to start.

February Kit Spotlight: Crate Paper Kiss Kiss Day #3

Don't you just LOVE a good grid layout. They just seem to come together so smooth and easy... and they always look fabulous! This month's sketch, from Becky Fleck at www.pagemaps.com, features a great grid that shows off several beautiful little swatches of paper and one fantastic photo.
