where you will find me...

Hi all,

this is my last post on this blog - most of you will be aware by now that I changed my designer name to "Carin Grobe Design". I will continue to post freebies, blog trains and all other news on my new blog (and all the content of this blog has been moved there, as well), so if you like me and my designs, make sure you subscribe or bookmark the new site: http://www.caringrobedesign.com/blog/

I just posted more about the name change and the sale over there, so why don't you go and have a look?

Knights and Dragons - right now 30 % off

After doing the sweet and soft Lakeside Fairies, I felt like doing another fantasy kit - but this time for the boys! Presenting "Dragonheart Castle" - a wonderful magical place where most noble knights in shining armor live together with their dragon friends, protecting the country from the evil black knight.



This kit will provide you not only with cute elements to scrap your favorite little hero but also gorgeous realistic textures and elements to help you create layouts for your favorite grown-up hero or your renaissance fair pictures or that visit to a medieval castle.

It's also the perfect kit to scrap pictures of your little girl knight or princess (whether she needs to be rescued from a tower or is a dragon friend herself) ...

Also available: a pack of matching cardstock ...



... and the great Dragonskin Alphas - created to give your layout titles that special touch with their awesome texture. They come in 4 beautiful jewel colors: sapphire (blue), ruby (red), emerald (green) and topaz (yellow)



... and if you want them all, you can save by picking up the Dragonheart Castle Bundle

 

There are some beautiful layouts already in my designer gallery - and if you feel like picking up a wonderful freebie QP, just hop on over to theStudio blog. Toiny posted a great shadow tutorial with two freebies, the QP and a shadow style!

Pi Day Savings...

Happy Pi Day!!

What day would be better to release my "Oldies But Goldies Vol.1" bundle including my "Apple Pie" kit?... And for today only you can pick it up for ... you guessed it: $ 3.14 - that's 81 % off the original prices of the included kits!!!

Oldies But Goldies Vol.1 - I bundled up a couple of my older kits to make them available to you for a great price. This first bundle includes the following products: Apple Pie Kit, Apple Pie Add-on, Felty Fall Friends Kit, School Daze Kit, Min's Café and Min's Café Teaparty Add-on.

*Those are previous releases that I bundled up. Please verify if you already have them in your stash*



Tomorrow is the last day of my time as featured designer at theStudio - that means it's also the last day to pick up the freebie add-on kit in the forum and enter a layout to win a 10 $ GC to my store!!


Happy Scrapping!

Featured Designer - Sale and Freebie Add-on

Hi all - it's my turn to be Featured Designer at theStudio! And while I'm all excited to see the wonderful pages created in the Featured Designer Challenge I hope you're excited about what that means for you:

• a sale in my store: 35 % off (until March 15th, excl. collabs)
• a chance to win a 10 $ GC to my store
• a free add-on to my newest collection "Lakeside Fairies" - here's a look at the add-on:
  

 

• additional 15 % off the "Lakeside Fairies" collection if you use the coupon that's included with the add-on 

This new collection is all springy, soft, cute, girly...I had so much fun creating it and can hardly wait to find the time to scrap all those little girl pictures of my daughter. Oh, and my waterlily pictures - some of them made it into the kit, as extracted flowers ;)



While writing this I just realized I haven't shown you any of my February creations yet... eeek, I'm such and awful blogger!
So here they are:

First there's my "Baby Bear Collection" - bright and fun colors for all those babies and toddlers that - like mine - don't "do" pastels, LOL ...



My Valentine's Day kit was very "tweet" this year, here's "Tweet Love" ;)

Then I did a kit that's a little bit different from my usual style, "Venice Nights", but I love how this turned out, with all the lace and velvet that makes you want to touch it.



Last but not least, there are two collabs:

"Winter Woods" a collaboration between Piggyscraps Designs, Aimee Harrison Design Studios and Deli Scraps.




"It's my Birthday" - a collab between Nibbles Skribbles, eqrAveziur, Snips & Snails, Moon Designs and Deli Scraps


"It's my Birthday"

Wow, that was a lot - I will do my best, trying to get better at keeping you updated!!

Have a great time (and don't forget to pick up the blog train freebie in the post below!!)!

New kit and a freebie

Happy New Year! :D I hope you all had a fantastic Holiday season...
The beginning of a new year is a time of making plans and resolutions - did you? I know I did, lol - one of them is trying to catch up on my scrapbooking, there are so many pics that deserve to be in a layout so we will still know the who and when and where and why in a couple of years. This thought did set my mood for my new kit (on sale for a limited time!): Capture the moment - a non-seasonal kit, dedicated to all those everyday pictures and camera-loving scrappers. Here's a look at the kit:

There's also a couple of addons and a bundle:

iDSD Sale and other things

Happy iDSD to all of you!!!

We're celebrating big time this year at theStudio!

There's not only a HUGE SALE going on, but also a Scrap-a-thon with free coordinated Minikits for the participants - if you want to meet me, I'll be in theStudio's chat room at 3 pm EST today:

Here's also a look at my new products that I hadn't posted yet:

School of Magic

Spider Web Alpha

Lighthouse Collection Add-on

Have a wonderful day!!!

New Collection - DOTD 65 % off today

Hi all,

my newest creation is in the store: The Lighthouse Collection

I do love lighthouses - quite a few pictures and little lighthouses are decorating our living room - they fascinate me. Every one is different from the others, yet they're all the same somehow ... just like people. :-) And a lighthouse is a most heartening sight for me - to know it's there, no matter what the weather is like to guide those in need of guidance through darkness and fog through safe waters until they reach their harbor.

Before I get too philosophical - here's a look at my way to celebrate the lighthouses: 3 kits and a bonus add-on if you buy them all as a collection.

 

Lighthouse on the Beach

Lighthouse on the Cliff

Lighthouse at the Harbor

Lighthouse Collection plus Bonus

Today all of these are 65% off today - afterwards you can pick them up for 30 % off for a limited time in my store at theStudio.

Today is also the last day of the storewide 40 % off surprise sale at theStudio!

Have a great Sunday!

Indian Summer at theStudio - 70 % off

Right with the beginning of September the weather here turned cooler and suddenly Summer's end is almost there. The air is cooler in the mornings and even if it's a beautiful sunny day, it's not getting hot anymore, only pleasantly warm.

I'm looking forward to the wonderful color display of the fall foliage ... especially after working on a new collab with Janet aka JanetB Designs last week: "Indian Summer" that has gotten me right in the mood for a long walk in the woods:

Janet has been guesting at theStudio in August and we are delighted that she decided to stay on - I loved working with her and I think our styles matched so well - the whole collection has turned out just awesome!

For this weekend only you can pick up the kit and the bundle for 70 % off (we are DOTD at theStudio) - afterwards it will be 25 % off for a limited time.

Tomorrow at 3 pm EST you can catch me in theStudio chatroom for a speedscrap - and there will be an attendance prize - an add-on to Indian Summer :)

Also, tomorrow is the first day of theStudio's September Progressive Scrap - a week filled with fun and freebies.

Oh, and we're having a new game this month at theStudio forum: DigiDetective! Kim aka Kimberkatt Scraps and I are taking turns hosting it, and it is a lot of fun - and your chance to win a complete kit from one of theStudio designers!

Have a great weekend!

How about some lemonade? ... and a freebie...

Is there anything better than a glass of ice-cold lemonade on a sizzling hot Summer day? - Maybe a glass of "Pink Lemonade".... My new collection is a fun tribute to blue Summer skies, fresh yellow lemons and pink lemonade!

Have a look at all the matching products: kit, wordart pack, lemonade alphas, glitter styles and glitter alpha ... or save some money by getting the whole bundle (including the bonus construction papers).
