Spotlight Sunday 11-9-08

Hi everyone! Valeri here..

Today, I'm bringing you something new. Spotlight Sunday.
When ever we can, we will spotlight a designer for the week and offer you all some free downloads! Sound good? I hope you think so!!

This week, the Designer we are spotlighting is Stacey Crossley. I am very lucky to have the chance to be on her CT. Its been a very rewarding experience for me! She is an amazing designer and her products are a dream to scrap with. She is such a sweet Lady too, which is an added bonus!! She has been so very nice to offer us up a coupon code to one of her stores, for every visitor of the blog!! Isn't that just totally awesome??? Look for it at the end of the post!

So on to her Designs,

This is Landscapes Fall. Since we are right around the corner from Thanksgiving, I figured it was appropriate to start the spotlight off with her fall kit. This is absolutely a Gorgeous kit with tons of potential. The green vine Element is absolutely one of my favorite elements ever! I think I've used it on at least 4 layouts in the last month! And the birdy, oh my gosh, he's too darn cute!
(For this Spotlight, I am gonna show you mostly my layouts since time got away from me and I wasn't able to get permission to link up a few of the others as of yet. If I do soon, I will come back and edit this with a few other Layouts. So check back! So with that said....)

Here is a Layout I did using this kit. It is of my family's trip to the Pumpkin Farm and how my Daughter totally loved the little hay house they had set up....

Fall a Wonderful Day

This is such a Lovely layout!! I just adore her blending of the background photo! And her Blocked papers along the side of the framed photo is such a wonderful Touch!! I so want to go hang out under that tree and have a picnic!! Be sure to stop by and leave her some love!


Next is her Christmas Classic Kit.. The trees in this kit are too darn cute, I think!! You have to check out this wonderful holiday kit, its full of great Christmas colors, Beautiful detailed papers, and tons of Holiday charm! It is perfect for Christmas Layouts or even for your Holiday Cards! I will have a quick page made from this kit available of Friday, so don't forget to check back!

Here is my Layout using the Christmas kit. I had a blast building this Layout. My kiddos love our Christmas Train Yard decoration and played around it alot all season last year. I've already been asked if I could set it up since Halloween is over, LOL.

Christmas


Isn't this just a Sweet Christmas Layout? Beautiful blending on the elements. I tend to forget that you can blend them! Gorgeous picture too!! This would make such a wonderful Holiday card to send out to family!

She also has a lot of Non Holiday related kits too... so check them out! Today, I will show you one example with her Proirier Girls Kit.. This kit has some pretty great colors!! I love the browns with the pinks, greens and yellows!! And the Frames in this kit are wonderful!!

This Layout, using The Poirier Girls kit, was Scrapped by KarenM. I think this is a really cute Layout, and Love how she tied her Journal frames together with the ribbon! I wonder if her little girl did ever move into her own room? LOL Karen, if your reading... Let us know! :o)

(I don't have a link to this Layout, but will get you one so you can all stop by and leave Karen some love! Check back soon!)


So now that you've seen her stuff... Wanna Know where you can get it? ;) Well, Stacey sells at a few different stores... But Has set up a coupon special for this blog and our readers at KJoi Studios. So, hop on over there and take advantage of this wonderful gift from Stacey!!


Stacey also sells at Pretty Scrappy, Digiscrap Station, Kjoi Studios, and a new store to be announced soon!

Interested in more??? :) Well, your in luck because 3 times this week I am going to have a free Quick page download for you!! All three are exclusive to the Genuine Praise Blog.. you can't get them anywhere else!! Two are from Stacey's Landscapes Fall kit, very appropriate for Thanksgiving or any Fall picture... and One from her Christmas Classic kit that I think is Just Way too adorable! LOL Today, I've got the first one from her Landscapes Fall kit for you......Download it here.

I hope you like it, and be sure to check back on Wednesday and Friday for another Quick page download!! (This is my first time uploading to 4shared, if there are any problems with the download or with the file, please let me know and I'll get right on it!)

I hope you have enjoyed the First Spotlight Sunday as much as I have getting it together for you! I'll be back again later this week, and until then... Live, Love, Laugh... and Scrap often!

    mrspotts (for cutie pie) just want to undertand this right...
    it really is precious to see layouts I have previously missed

  7. The "for so and so" is when we are linking a layout that is someone else's and not our own. Like if you are going through the gallery and find one you really love and want to share it here, thats when I put the (for whomever) after my name.
