It’s Time for December Daily Nettio-Style, Round 2

POSTED ON November 17, 2012 IN Announcements, Holiday Faves, Holiday Faves 2012, Shop News & Releases

Wow, November is half already half over! The holiday season will be here before we know which means it’s time for one of the scrapbooking projects I most look forward to every year: December Daily.

Back in 2010, I created a 7×9 mixed-sized paper mini book and I have to say I LOVED it. Of all the scrapbooking projects and layouts I completed in 2010, my December Daily album is the one I never stopped thinking about.

There is just something magical about putting together the foundation of the album ahead of time and then seeing it fill up with memories over the course of the holiday season.

But in thinking about my December Daily plan for 2011, I realized there were a few things about the album that didn’t work for me: the daily-ness of December Daily, the mixed-sized pages and the lack of any digital goodness.

So last year I came up with a new plan for my not-so-daily December Daily mini book which I lovingly called the Holiday Faves. It was a 5×7 hybrid mini album complete with foundation pages which I printed and then filled up with goodness over the Holiday season.

And I have to admit, I may have done a happy dance or two in excitement over it because it worked out even better than I’d hoped.

(You can find an entire video of my 2011 Holiday Faves album here.)

Which brings me to today’s Sweet Shoppe Saturday New Release!

The Holiday Faves 5×7 Mini Album Templates Vol. 2

Yes, the Holiday Faves 5×7 Mini Album templates are back with an all-new more awesome design combined with the same hybrid 5×7-inch tree-saving style!

And I could not be more excited. Seriously, lots of oh-so-excited (and occasionally awkward, I’m sure) happy dances going on over here, haha. Especially knowing just how well the Holiday Faves worked out for me last year.

You can read about all the details of the Holiday Faves 5×7 Mini Album Templates here at Sweet Shoppe Designs but here are a few specific things I want to point out:

  • The mini album templates are 5×7 inches which for me is the perfect balance of size and at-home printability since you can print 2 5×7 pages on a single 8.5×11 pages. Woohoo for saving trees!
  • I designed the templates to be a starting point for building your Holiday album foundations pages so I kept the design simple so you can dress them up or down depending on your personal style. The goal is to let your photos, memorabilia and memories take center stage.
  • I will be going with a Holiday Faves theme for my album with my plan being to document my top ten favorite things from this Holiday season (with the backup plan being if I only get to say, 5, it’ll be ok). But if you’re not a Faves fiend like I am, haha, I also included a “Holiday Memories” cover and journaling option as well a list of the fonts I used so you can customize your own.
  • One thing I missed from December Daily last year was capturing a few of the more broad holiday themes, like decorations, music, etc so this year I’ve included 8 additional more general holiday-themed journaling cards for documenting those stories.

What’s really cool about these templates is not only can you use these mini album templates for creating your own Holiday album but I will be using them to create my own album as well.

And starting next week here on the blog, I will be sharing more details on how I’m personally using these templates to create the foundation for my own Holiday Faves album and of course throughout December I’ll be showing how it all comes together as well. It’s going to be fun so I hope you’ll come scrap along with me!

The Holiday Faves 5×7 Mini Album Templates Vol. 2 are available now at Sweet Shoppe Designs and are 20% off thru Saturday, November 17th.

So now’s a great time to get yourself ready to scrap your holiday heart out.

{New Release} Listography Vol 1 Templates

First up, is Listography Vol 1 which if you’re a lover of lists like I am, I know you’re going to love these. I love using lists as the foundation for my layouts because not only do they make for a fun design but they’re a super easy way to capture a snapshot of what your life is like right now. And really, what is scrapbooking other than a carefully curated collection of life snapshots?

{New Release} Geometric Vol 2 Templates

Also releasing today is my second set of shape-lovin’ templates, Geometric Vol 2. These templates are great because the designs are super versatile and can be used for creatively capturing any of your life adventures. And really, can you ever have enough geometric-lovin’ layouts? I think not.

Here’s a layout I did using the Listography templates and one of the many, many, many Christmas kits releasing at SSD this week. This one is Christmas Dearest by Mari…

(Anyone else getting excited for Christmas already? I know it’s only October but oh how it’s my fave!)

Of course my team had a lot of fun getting their scrapbooking on with these templates too. I always love seeing their layouts because they really bring the templates to life…

Are You Falling For Fall? *New From Nettio Designs*

POSTED ON September 28, 2012 IN Announcements, Shop News & Releases

Hello hello, awesome tech-lovin’ memory keepers and welcome to another Sweet Shoppe Saturday!

This weekend over at Sweet Shoppe Designs I’m releasing a BRAND-NEW fall-tastic set of digital scrapbooking templates called Falling For Fall.

Growing up in California, I never really understood why people were so crazy about fall, probably because we didn’t have any! It really wasn’t until I moved to Colorado at the age of 25 that I started to understand what this whole fall love thing was all about. September quickly became one of my favorite months in Colorado and every year we lived there I looked forward to the mild temperatures and leaves changing colors. It was so beautiful!

Now that we live in Texas (such is life as a military family!) I still find myself pining away for those fall days in Colorado. Which is why I designed the Falling For Fall templates – three fall-tastic digital paper-lovin’ templates perfect for capturing all your most favorite things about fall.

Falling For Fall Digital Scrapbooking Templates

One of my favorite things about these Falling For Fall templates is each template features customized Inner Shadow layer styling to give various shapes in the templates an awesome cut-out effect.

I love using Inner Shadowing for this look because it makes the design super customizable for you. You can easily move the cutout shapes around the page to fit your story as well as adjust the layer styling size and angle to work with your drop shadows.

With all of the amazing fall goodies hitting the Sweet Shoppe this weekend, I couldn’t resist getting my scrap on with the Falling For Fall templates, first with a list of my favorite things about fall…

As well as tribute to my love for fall football & baseball season – because really, what’s better than spending a relaxing Sunday afternoon cheering on my teams with a beer & snacks?


Of course my team had a lot of fun scrapping their fall-tastic life adventures with these templates too…

Inspiration From Team Awesome

I love seeing the variety of stories my team told using these layouts. From birthdays to vacations to the ups and downs of life, they’ve captured some pretty fascinating moments in their lives.

SAVE 20% OFF Falling For Fall Thru Saturday

As always on Sweet Shoppe Saturday, you can save 20% off Falling For Fall if you pick it up at the Sweet Shoppe TODAY.

Pick up your copy of Falling For Fall here!

Well that’s it for this week! I’m off to spending another fall-tastic weekend relaxing and making new memories. Have a great weekend!

NEW Templates & My Secret For Loving Your Journaling

POSTED ON September 14, 2012 IN Shop News & Releases

Hello hello, awesome tech-lovin’ memory keepers and welcome to another Sweet Shoppe Saturday!

This weekend over at Sweet Shoppe Designs I’m releasing a BRAND-NEW story-focused set of digital scrapbooking templates called Journal Love.

I designed these templates for the times when your story can’t be squeezed into a single line, list or paragraph. For when you want to capture all the awesome details of your adventure but you still want your finished page to look amazing when you’re done.

Journal Love Digital Scrapbooking Templates

Each of the 3 templates in Journal Love features dedicated journaling space as well as room for photos and lots of fun embellishments and details. Because let’s face it, as much as storytelling is the heart of scrapbooking, getting to play around with all the digital goodies is a whole lot of fun too.

My Secret For Loving Your Journaling

Now if you’re looking at these templates and thinking, “Well those are great Lynnette but there’s NO WAY I could write that much!”…fear not! Telling your story does not have to be the big scary thing we as scrapbookers often make it out to be.

I know the blank page (or in this case, the template-y page filled with random “journaling goes here” text) can be intimidating.

But here’s my secret tip for making every story you tell shine with personal and be easy as well.

Just imagine you’re writing an email to your future self telling the details of your latest adventure.

What details do you want to remember? What little moments will make you smile or laugh 10, 20, or even 50 years from now?

Those are the details you want to include in your story.

Quirky wording, typos, haha’s, LOL’s and all.

Because that’s how you’d write an email to yourself, right? I know I totally include those in my journaling, haha.

The reality is if one day your family and friends read your story, those details are what’s going to make them LOVE that story that much more, because your personality is going to shine from the page.

They aren’t going to care whether you used proper grammar, double-spacing or pulled out your thesaurus to find the right word. They’re going to care that you took the time to capture a moment that mattered to you, quirkyness and all. And that’s the magic of telling your story.

Inspiration From Team Awesome

Of course if you need a little visual inspiration to convince you you need these templates, I’ve got that for you too…

I love seeing the variety of stories my team told using these layouts. From birthdays to vacations to the ups and downs of life, they’ve captured some pretty fascinating moments in their lives.

SAVE 20% OFF Journal Love Thru Saturday

As always on Sweet Shoppe Saturday, you can save 20% off Journal Love if you pick it up at the Sweet Shoppe Today.

Well that’s it for this week! I’m off to relax with my hubby, sip a nice cold margarita, and get my craftiness on this weekend. Hope you have some awesome adventures planned for this weekend too!

Sweet New Release: Summer Lovin’ Wordy Bits & Brushes

POSTED ON July 21, 2012 IN Announcements, Shop News & Releases

Happy Sweet Shoppe Saturday everyone!

This Saturday I’m releasing my first ever element and brush packs and best of all, they’re designed to coordinate with my Summer Lovin’ Template Collection! I LOVE typography and wordy bits so I hope you enjoy scrapbooking with these as much as I enjoyed designing them.

Summer Lovin’: Summer Brushes

First up are the Summer Lovin’: Summer Brushes. These 24 summer themed brushes are perfect for titles, tags, Project Life, mini books and more.

The best thing about these brushes is you get them as both a Photoshop .abr brush as well as individual PNG files so you can adjust the size, color and customize them to your heart’s content.

Summer Lovin’: Wordy Bits Templates

Next up are the Summer Lovin’: Wordy Bits Templates…

I don’t know about you but I love wordy bits – which is why I include them in almost all of my templates! But often I find myself wishing I could customize them to fit any kit I’m want without the hassle of adjusting the hue and saturation in Photoshop.

Enter the Wordy Bits Templates.

Each of the 43 Summer Lovin’ Wordy Bits comes as a layered Photoshop (.PSD) file, which means they are super easy to customize to match any kit. Just think of them as mini templates – change the color or clip your favorite paper to the background layer to create a look unique to you and your layout.

Summer Lovin’: Bits & Brushes Bundle

Of course, if your word-lovin’ heart can’t decide between the Summer Lovin’: Summer Brushes or Summer Lovin’: Wordy Bits, you can pick up the Summer Lovin’: Bits & Brushes Bundle and get BOTH for one great price!

Team Awesome Layout Inspiration

Of course the Nettio Designs Team Awesome had a blast mixing and matching the Wordy Bits & Brushes to word-ify their layouts. Check them out…

SAVE 20% OFF Thru Saturday

As always, all three new releases are 20% at Sweet Shoppe Designs through Saturday night. So if you want to save a little cash, stop on by the Sweet Shoppe today and pick them up.
