"I ♥ This" Digital Scrap Forum Challenge (MAR2021)

Oh boy, we're getting closer to Spring (in the Northern hemisphere) bit by bit! From what I've heard in the news, it seems like most people had a "real" Winter this year. I'm so glad we've almost made it through!

The theme for this month's "I Heart This" challenge in the MyMemories forum will be your favorite Easter traditions (if you celebrate it), or some sort of favorite family tradition (if you don't). I'm trying something different this month regarding the reward for participating. I have decided to give those who join us their choice of any part of the collection (including the kit). It's going to be a somewhat smaller collection than many have been, but it's always nice to have options. ;)

Also, I'll be holding a drawing from among the Facebook group members and blog entries to win the kit (one per location). (And not to worry - I'll hold the drawing before you have to decide what you want for your reward if you participate in the challenge.) If you would like to be entered to win the kit, please comment below (on this post). My Facebook group is here if you want to get a second chance.

And now here is my March collection, No Greater Love. This is in reference to Jesus' sacrifice of Himself to save us from paying the eternal penalty for our sins. The name comes from: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:12-14 Since Easter is the first Sunday in April this year, I decided to make this my March theme.

I'll show you a pre-release preview of this collection today, and it will be available in the store in the next few days.  In other words, there's no "sneak" to this "peek." LOL

Kit: 

Elements only:

Papers only:

Wordart:

Extra papers:

I'll be back in the next few days with some sample layouts and to pick the winners. Thanks for reading, and good luck if you enter!

Flash Storewide 30% Off Sale!

Pssst!! Guess what? There's a storewide 30% off sale today and tomorrow only at MyMemories! (Don't worry, all of my brush accent packs are still half off.) 

February Challenge Reminder

Just a quick reminder, there is only one week left of this month to participate in my February challenge at the MyMemories forum. I'd love to have you join us!

Also, today is the last day to get the Valentine Sampler free and the With All My Heart collection at 1/3 off (1/2 off bundles). 😏

Bring on the Bling Sale!

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! It occurred to me (for those in the Northern hemisphere) that this part of winter can be a bit dreary, so I decided to put all of my brush accents on sale. In general, they include some degree of shimmer or glitz - so I named the sale "Bring on the Bling!" LOL Get half off each pack through the end of this month!

There isn't currently a way to search specifically for just these packs in my store, so I have individually linked the ten products I have available below. (When I tested out the links, I sometimes got an error message that went away when refreshing the page, so keep that in mind - refresh the page if you get an error. Thanks!)

So as you can see, it's very easy to add some glimmer and shimmer to your pages with these fun packs! As I was choosing some sample layouts to show, I noticed that there is a good amount of overlap in some of the color palettes - so I think that you could mix and match them with other kits pretty easily in many instances.

MyMemories February 2021 Blog Train

Hey there - welcome to my stop on the February MyMemories blog train! I hope all is well with you and yours, and if you celebrated Valentine's Day, that it was very special. ❤ 

For those who are not among my regular blog readers, but mostly visit during the monthly blog trains, here is a quick look at the rest of the collection that I designed to coordinate with my blog train gift. You can get a closer look and see lots of inspirational layouts in my Feb. 8 post if you like, but I wanted to let you know that the bundles shown below are HALF OFF. The individual packs are 1/3 off as well, through February 22.

Be sure to check out this month's "I ❤ This" forum challenge. The participation prize coordinates with the blog train (see preview below). If you're sure you won't have time to join, it is available for purchase now - but I'd love to have you participate and get it for free!

Here is the mini I made for you this month. I hope you like it! Click on the preview below to download it. I'm sure that you already know that if you don't use the MyMemories Suite software, you can download the zip from the "general" column of your download area and use it in whatever program you prefer. 

I have a big surprise for you, too! Besides the blog train gift, I've made you a few extra goodies to enjoy! Click on each link to find these free for a limited time, through February 28, in my store.

Pack of 5 special effects (rainbow, bokeh page overlay, glowing swirl, two lens flares):

Pack of 5 extra cardstock:

Pack of 4 extra papers:

Here are a couple of pages I made using the limited time freebies AND the whimsical ellies pack from the collection.

In addition to the above exclusive blog freebies, I have gathered together all of the other other gifts I've specially made for you, my scrapping friends, into one post. I appreciate you so much, and would love for you to have anything that you see there and take a liking to. :) Click on the image below to go to that post. As we go along, I will be adding new template freebies to the very bottom of the list, and other gifts just above the flower divider above the template section.

And now I'm sad for you to go, but I know you must! Your next stop after mine will be Mystery Scraps. If you get lost, just go to the My Memories blog here and you'll find your way again in no time!
