Black Friday Sale has Started!! 40% OFF Store Wide! 2 New FREEBIES + Coupon!

Its that time of year again!!  Everyone is thawing out their turkeys, mixing up the stuffing and planning their strategy for their Black Friday Shopping! I have to say I am a chicken, I never go out on Black Friday. I don't function very well early in the morning and I'm not a big huge fan of crowds. I would rather pay a little more than go thru all of that! BUT with that being said, I DO LOVE shopping from home! If I could grocery shop and have them delivered to my house I would! I used to be a natural born shopper but now, I would rather surf thru the net and have it delivered!!!
Before I start with all the news and goodies I just wanted to put out there to make sure you LIKE us on FACEBOOK  Subscribe to my NEWSLETTER and FOLLOW my PINTEREST BOARD! That way you will be sure to find out when the new releases, sale, freebies and coupons are!!! Never miss a thing!!!
So here is where this store wide sale comes in!!! You don't have to get up early, there is no pushing, no shoving, I don't even care if you wear your jammies!! You can shop any time from now until Monday Dec 1 (cyber monday!) and get 40% OFF almost everything in my store! (Of course new releases are excluded!) 

I am having a GREAT time at Mischief Circus!! I have ALWAYS wanted to be a part of that store...from back when it was Deviant Scrap so the newness hasn't worn off and I have been working really hard to put out new things just to prove to myself that I can do this!! 
First up I have a brand new kit Bake It Up
I had scanned a bunch of things out of some great old magazines from 1922 that I am just in love with, extracted them and applied some funky textures and filters to make them a bit different. Half way thru the kit I found I was singing "4 and 20 black birds baked in a pie..." while I was creating so I brought that into the kit as well. I ended up being so happy with the way the kit turned out! That and the kit itself is HUGE!!!  There is word art, word tags, ATC backgrounds, 70 accents 18 papers, I just couldn't seem to stop myself! :-) Anyway right now if you buy the individual pieces they are 20% OFF BUT if you buy the GET IT ALL KIT  you will save 35% so it really is the best deal to get the whole kit and kaboodle!! 

I also have new at Mischief Circus Dear Santa...I Can Explain! Kit! 

This kit is a holiday kit with pinups!!! ( Please check if you are a GDS shopper, I did release this last holiday season but I have added to it and created ATC backgrounds to go with it)  This kit is 20% OFF along with all the individual packs but if you purchase the GET IT ALL KIT  you get 30% OFF so its a great way to save money!!! 

Also I have a FREE SAMPLER which also includes a COUPON for an ADDITIONAL 10% OFF the GET IT ALL KIT! 

New Artist Trading Card Kit plus FREEBIE "Only Time Will Tell" by 2CurlyheadedMonster Designs!

So I have a new kit that it out just today!! I LOVE ATC's so I had to make another ATC kit but I wanted to  do something different, a different palette for me. Normally I like pinks and purples, I seem to be drawn to them, but I went in the opposite end of the spectrum for this kit!! Hope you like it!!!

For a very limited time this kit is 30% OFF!!! You can get it in my Shoppe

A couple of awesome ATC's by Birdee!

Art Journaling with Places in the Heart

So for this week's A.O.S workshop we are using this new great kit by Outside the Box called Places in the Heart its one of those kinds of kits that I just love and had to make a few layouts with it. OTBDS also has been collaborating with Precepts & Promises. Here is their part of Places in the Heart by Precepts & Promises  Here is what I came up with by using both parts of the collab.

Eyes to Heart

Life is Good

From Amazing Love:

Shabby Vintage Romance:

I love the elements in both of these kits...but the backgrounds are my favorite!!! Just very pretty backgrounds!!!! Perfect for Valentine's Day!!!



Outside the Box Design Studio ~ ARTchaeology of the Soul

I am in love with this kit!! I can NOT wait until the Workshop starts on Feb 1st!!! Check out my Art Journal layouts from ARTchaeology of the Soul

This Art Journal took me FOREVER!!! Mainly because of the girl. I had purchased a collection of old flapper photos (LOVE flappers!) and she is just so pretty!!! So I extracted her from her background so she would fit into the trunk....and then recolored her. I think I am getting better with the recoloring.  I thought it would be a cute play on the Outside the Box Designs name because we are all learning more and more about how to not stick to the layout norms and structure!!

Here is another:

and then an ATC....the one above this LOOKS like an ATC but it isn't its an 8x10 page!



Art Journaling is so much fun!!! You can do anything you want!!!

Want to learn? Get some great elements? Then you HAVE to join up with the Workshop!!!!
