ah-closing-ad

Thank you for making the past three years amazing!  It is time for me to take a break from designing.  Although I will not longer be in a store, I still plan on offering freebies and will have some collaborations soon. Be sure to take advantage of the huge discounts! Some items are up to 60% off!

Sale ends August 31.

If you are curious about my web terms please view my announcement here.

How about a desktop freebie for September?  I can’t believe it is almost September!  That means less than 120 days until Christmas!

Template freebie!

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Happy Thursday! When I’m in a scrapping rut or my mojo has taken a vacation, I love to browse through my stash of templates and see what gets my creativity flowing. Today I’ve got a free template for you based on a layout I did recently with Amanda’s collab with Jennifer Fox – Toothless. Toothless is perfect for scrapping those loose teeth, first trips to the dentist or even baby’s new teeth. You can check it out at Scrap Orchard by clicking on the preview below.

Here’s the layout I did with this kit:

And here’s the template based on my layout:

It’s available in TIFF and PSD format. Enjoy!

Ba Da Bing! It’s recipe time!

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Hey friends!  It’s Christine (ccouch) bringing you the first of a new feature on the AHD blog – - recipes!  We all have our favorites and we thought it would be great to share with you gals some of the things we’ve got cookin’!

One of my favorite (and seriously easiest) recipes is good ol’ fashioned dump cake.  I’ve been craving it big time, and so I thought I’d share the recipe with y’all and maybe you could make some too!  It really couldn’t be any easier – just a few ingredients, only one dish to wash, and it’s totally yummy to boot!

I made this little recipe card with Amanda’s Ba Da Bing which is such an awesome kit!

You can snag a copy of the recipe card here.  Let me know if you have any troubles w/ the download :D

Hi, it’s Heather here with a fun July Desktop freebie for you!

Need a Quick Card?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Hi everyone!  Jaedyn here (wow – it’s been a while since I posted last), and I made you something!  I made a card a couple weeks back for a friend using “A Place To Call Home” (a collab with Amanda & Christy Lyle), and thought I would share it with you today.

Just click the image to download!  Enjoy!

Because you just never know when the kit will be locked away in Amanda’s design vault ;).

GUEST DESIGNER, FREEBIE and MORE!

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Hi my friends!  This month I am guesting at The Digichick! I am thrilled to be back as a guest for June!
It is like a homecoming for me! Only this one is so much better than the last one I went to at my high school. ;)

I have a new kit to share with you this week. It might look a little bit familiar to some of my “older” fans. I took one of my first kits I sold at TDC (What Goes Around) and gave it a face lift.

Calypso by Amanda Heimann

A reminder of all things summer! Calypso is full of mouthwatering colors that take you back to days of grape Koolaid, lemonade stands, fresh picked cherries, strawberry ice cream, and key-lime pie. You are sure to smile every time you open this cheerful kit.

I couldn’t stop making papers for this kit! I wanted to include them all but a few were left behind here for you.

3’s the Magic Number

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Hello again!  Jaedyn here with yet another challenge for you this month!  We’re still celebrating Amanda’s 3rd Designiversary, and in honor of that number, we decided to have a challenge all about 3!

The idea behind this challenge:  3 must be a part of your layout. It would be a 3rd birthday, the number 3, 3 photos, 3 flowers, whatever. Use your thinking caps for this one!  You have 2 weeks (May 10) to link up your layout to the blog (not to Facebook) to be eligible for a prize from Amanda!

To get the ideas flowing, here are a couple examples from Rebecca (Mamabee) and Janie (lady_ponies_23):

Rebecca went a little crazy (lol) and has 3’s ALL over her layout:
3 photos, 3 waves, 3 kits (oopsy Daisy, falling for, and Penelope), 3 pattern papers, 3 solid papers, 3 ribbon bows, 3 buttons, 3 flowers, 3 floral element, 3 tags, 3 alphas (spring fling, penelope, and oopsy daisy), 3 fonts (courier, DJB merry, Harrington), 3 paint smears, 3 word title… WHEW!

Janie’s here is really simple, sweet & to the point, also highlighting 3’s (3 photo strips, 3 word title & an adorable 3 year old!):

So there you have it!  I hope we have a few of you to play along with this challenge – and I hope to see some really fun ideas!  A winner will be picked after May 10 and announced here on the blog!

Also, before you go, I have a little freebie for you!  Seeing that it’s almost May, I thought a desktop was in order!  Just click the image to download – the zip contains 2 sizes so hopefully one fits for you!

Have a great day everyone!!
