I’m Officially a Real Designer Now!
I am SO proud and SO excited to announce that the doors to my Studio at ScrapbookGraphics are finally OPEN!!!
But wait! Don’t run over there yet! Read the rest of this post first! There’s FREEBIES in it!
I’m not going to post previews of every single thing in the store cuz there is too much! But I’ll show you a condensed version (and the images are clickable, they’ll take you to the product in the store).
First, here are a few little element packs I’m really excited about:
These things are so much fun! Tons of possibilities! I originally made them thinking they would appeal mostly to quirks because they are so great for things like ATC’s or altered art projects. But I was so excited to see that many of the Celebrity Models used them in their regular layouts too! I’ve got many more packs in the works already but if you have an idea for a quirky theme I could use shoot me an email! If I pick your idea, you win the element pack
Next, I have a bunch of stamps and paint strokes, etc. in the store but out of all those these are my faves:
A little bit different than the average paint stroke but still something to give that hand drawn effect.
Next I’ve got these two little boy/girl themed kits:
You can get them both separately or as a combo for better value!
If you’d like to give them a test drive, I have some little samplers here I made for you. Even if you purchase the kit, download these anyway because they contain different stuff!


Both of these are available in the download section here on this blog, and will soon also be available in the freebie gallery at ScrapbookGraphics!
Now, for the piece de resistance, my Grunge City Collection!
There are six different parts to this and you can get them all separately or together for a better value. Here are just a few close up previews:
Now I’ve also got a sampler for this kit, but you’re gonna have to work for it!

The add-on contains 6 patterned papers and 10 elements! And all you gotta do to get it is show up! After the chat, this is going into my store so this will be your only chance to get it for free! Don’t miss out!
Whew! What a month this has been! I have worked so hard to prepare for this day! My eyeballs are shrivelled up and falling out of their sockets from computer strain and my wrists are on fire with carpel tunnel but I enjoyed every single moment of it! LOL! I think that’s what has surprised me the most in this entire process. I didn’t realize how much I would LOVE designing! I was so scared in the begining and unsure of myself. But thanks to Maya’s [overwhelming and neverending] support and also that of my buddies and fellow Crew members I feel like I’ve found my legs and I’m ready to step out into this crazy business.
Alright, when I start to wax poetic that’s a sure sign it’s time to end a post LOL! But before you go, don’t forget about my SALE!!!

Thanks so much for all your lovely gifts…love ‘em all…;o) Sorry to hear about the nasty gall bladder trouble…my sis went through that…;o(

Cool colors on the Boy Experiment kit. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations! I love your work! I wanted to comment on the gall bladder trouble and I went thru the same thing during my 4th pregnancy. As an alternative to surgery I decided to do the cleanse and I haven’t had any troubles since then and I got the idea from the net I used the Dr. Hulda’s Liver cleanse gallbladder cleanse gallstones flush recipe, there are many types but this one worked for me so I stuck with the it. Good luck! also if you do the cleanse make sure you use organic cold pressed olive oil the other type tastes groooose and there is a large difference in the taste. Hope you’re well soon!

Oh Michelle…your designs are beautiful! I have already picked up some papers and elements from your Grunge City kit! I just wish I could make it to the chat as I love this kit so much! My husband has his first official competition soccer game at that time (I am in Australia and it is 12noon on Saturday at that time) and I can’t miss it! please email me if there is a way I can pick up the chat freebie! Thanks and keep up the great work designing…gorgeous!!
