Alexis Design Studio, Huge Sales and Free Stuff

 Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

Hoping you've cleaned up all of yesterday's mess and that you're treating yourself after all of that hard work.

Today, is a big day for commerce in the States and DigiLand is no exception.  What could be, the most money saving day of the year.

I've got layout love from Alexis Design Studio's gorgeous goodies put to both digi and hybrid use as well as a free template and a free holiday card for you.  Keep reading to find a tutorial on digital card making and plan how to use your new downloads.

 Winter Garden is the kit from Alexis Design Studio that I used for the above layout, along with a template from Heartstrings Scrap Art that you can purchase at the Digital Scrapbooking Studio. 

That's my sister-in-law with JJ and for some reason Liam had his tongue sticking out for every picture that Christmas!  Hehehe... Design some seriously gorgeous clusters with Alexis and Barabara's elements, stack them up on some lovely textural papers full of blingy glitter and spread out those stamps to bring balance and cohesion to your layouts.

A little off the Christmas theme is Vintage Treasures.  The name alone had me sold on this kit until I saw everything else in it and this exquisite colour palette.  De-lish!

I teamed up a template from Brenian Desings with a mix of goodies from Alexis Design Studio to fashion this funny Christmas card for family.  I love using the silly pictures in hope of giving family from far away, a laugh or at least, a smile.

 I thought I might help you out in designing your very own Christmas/Holiday card.  Get you software ready, fill up your gallery and use a template like Bren's and or the basic one we're providing you, here.

I wanted to keep that top part plain.  That's the back of the card.  To save ink, of course!  Hehehe...That's stuff is so expensive!

I used the pink part of the template as the background for the front of the card, clipped in a pretty plaid paper and then added the finished template from Bren to the top of that with a little shadow.

Here is a very basic yet useful card template for you.

This is the actual card.  Simply print, cut and fold!

If you are loving Alexis Design Studio's work like I am, then sit back and check out some other lovely layouts I've designed.

Perfect timing for a great sale!

Have a super scrappy day and remember all of our goodies are for Personal Use ONLY.

A Cozy Christmas With Alexis Designs and a Freebie

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.  (For some reason blogger is freaking.  Excuse this odd format for it just doesn't seem to update.  My excuses.)

The magic is in the air.  It's finally cooling down here, in Belgium and I've already started working on Christmas projects.  Fingers crossed that they will all get finished!  Hehehe...

I have some very exciting news.  I'm on another Creative Team and this time it's Alexis Design Studio.  I've long been a fan and a recipient of one of the best newsletters that DigiLand has to offer.  Alexis and Barbara design absolutely gorgeous digital goodies and often include a freebie in their newsletter.

Get a glance at their newest kit, A Cozy Christmas.  Fabulous, traditional elements and papers that you can almost feel.  Such warmth and coziness in this beautiful collection.  It will make an essential addition to your digital stash.

I've scrapped up some lovely photos from previous Christmas parties.  Here's my niece and her parents.  I got the idea for the title in a layout I spotted on Pinterest.  I actually started off this layout with a combination of both layouts and I just couldn't get the look I wanted.

I finally decided to break the layout up into two layouts and these are the results.  It also gave me the opportunity to show off more of the lovely goodies you can find in A Cozy Christmas.

It was the first year we had Christmas at our house.  We had only 3 days notice because my Mother-In-Law was too ill to host herself, I told her we'd be glad to take over.  Our house is pretty small and we even had to borrow furniture and tables to sit everyone, but it turned out well and judging by the photos, all had a good time despite we were sardined.  Hehehe...

Here are some more examples of what you'll find in this must have collection.  I just love these trees.

This is the basic kit with two alphas, dozens of elements and terrific papers for any layout or project you have in mind.

Ya know we'd never ask you over without offering you something special for giving us your precious time.  I've scrapped up some wintery Commercial Use and made this chilly overlay for you.

Keep it simple and just insert a photo behind it.  You could use a bit more shadow to raise it up if you like.  This might make a nice Christmas card.  Insert a sweet family shot and you're set!

Enjoy our freebie and remember it's Personal Use ONLY.  Do not resell or claim it as your own.

I can't wait to come back with more amazing kits from Alexis Design.  I hope you'll join us then, too.
