Hey chicklets, Amy here 
Today I have a little goodie for you using one of my favorite kits from Eva; Mimosa’s in Charleston.
The color scheme is completely fabulous, and I love the wood elements and funky little birdies! I snagged a couple goodies out of it and made this FREEBIE frame for you. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! It’s Stacey, doing my very first post on Eva’s blog! I thought I’d start off with a bang and give away some freebies. I’ve made a couple of desktop wallpapers using Eva’s recently released collab with Libby Weifenbach, Miss Ladybird’s Tea Party. I’ve made 2 versions of it, one is a .png with space for your photos and one is photo-less .jpg.
Download the wallpaper with photos here
Download the wallpaper without photos here
Each file contains the wall paper in 3 sizes – 1024×768, 1280×800 and 1280×1024.
I hope you enjoy them!

Hi Everybody! Suzann here with my first post on Eva’s awesome blog! I’m here to spotlight some great layouts that I found in the SSD gallery this month.
•• Click on any of the layouts below to be taken directly to the Sweet Shoppe Gallery. You can leave a comment or two for these awesomely talented girls! You will also find complete credits for each layout. ••
First off we have “My Baby” by Sammi. Sammi used Eva’s Getting Fresh kit to make this gorgeous layout. The layering on this page is amazing and I just love how she combined different shapes and angled her photo.
Next up we have “Sugar Pie” by Mom2peanuts. She used Lola’s Lollypop Dream. This layout was created for the Cookie Decorating 101 challenge, and she really rocked the template. This page is beautiful in every way, and her photo is just precious.
Last, but not least, we have “Surfin’ Girl” by 4noisyboys. This layout features Eva’s brand new kit Land and Sea. 4noisyboys created a simple but stunning layout. I really like how she used the string around the photo and her excellent use of white space.
Hope you enjoyed looking at these stunning layouts!
Happy Tuesday!

Hello, it’s Andrea here doing todays hybrid blog post from the UK.
Did you play with paper when you were a little girl? I did and I used to use up every scrap of paper my Dad could bring me from his office. Of course my creations weren’t brilliant, computer printing paper from the late 1980s wasn’t very pretty – but it had those fab perforated edges with all the holes down it!!
Now I still play with paper but I get to use really pretty Eva Kipler designed stuff so it all instantly looks fab! This week I have been making paper beads and using them to make bracelets and necklaces.
It’s really easy to do, just print your chosen paper and cut into strips. The width of the paper strip will be the width of the finished bead. You will also need a cocktail stick or skewer and mod podge or similar.
Make the beads by wrapping the paper strip around the cocktail stick as tightly as you can, add adhesive to the last inch and press the end down firmly. Slide the cockail stick out when the bead is dry.
I used my beads to make a necklace, just thread the beads onto jewellery wire or nylon thread and I added small glass beads in between the paper beads. I finished the necklace with a small clasp that I picked up at the craft store
I used paper from Spring It On, a collaboration kit between Eva and Scrapkitchen Designs
Have fun playing with paper, love Andrea xx

We’ve recently added some new hybrid girls to the team at Eva Kipler Designs. Hybrid scrapping and papercrafting is a combination of digital and traditional scrapping products and is gaining in popularity. We now have three very talented hybrid papercrafters on the team.
Kelleigh Ratzlaff (Kelleigh R) is a talented digital and paper scrapper, she loves to combine both and create beautiful paper crafted products. Kelleigh started scrapbooking the old fashioned way in 2003 when her first child was born and discovered digital in October 2007, doing a Jessica Sprague class. Kelleigh continues to teach paper scrapbooking classes and collects as many physical supplies as digital. When creating hybrid projects Kelleigh loves to make things she will actually use – cards, gift boxes, pretty home decor items, mini albums etc. although she admits to just enjoying looking at what she has created and finds it hard to give them away!
***************************
Jenni Shawyer (Juniper) is a new chick on the digi block. She has a fantastic blog where she shares her creations and is the second new hybrid girlie to join the team. Jenni lives in the UK, is married and has two darling little boys and assorted pets! She has been crafting since a child but started crafting in earnest 10 years ago, Jenni has always loved computers so combining her two favourite hobbies is great! Hybrid crafting appeals to Jenni because of how bespoke it is… How cost effective it is and just how much shopping there is too!!!! Check out Jenni’s creations on her blog and watch out for her creations using Eva’s products in the Sweet Shoppe gallery
***************************
Andrea Gourley (Geordie Girl) has been a member of Eva’s team for a little while now. She loves to create cards for all purposes and discovered digital kits about 18 months ago. Andrea combines digi papers and elements with traditional ribbon, buttons and flowers etc. and Eva’s designs are a perfect vehicle for her funky cards. You can check out Andrea’s gallery at Sweet Shoppe Designs and also at her blog. When she’s not playing with paper, Andrea teaches full time, loves to shop, eat chocolate and watch disaster movies as well as spending time playing with her new puppy.

Sara here to intro half of Eva’s team to you and later this month, you’ll get to meet the rest of us!!
We’ll start today with Angie.
I’m Angie and I’m a crazy old lady. Or maybe just crazy. I’m a 38 (ok ya old too) year old mom of 5 *ahem* angels ages 16-4. I dabble in photography on the side (side of what, no one knows), in addition to my involvement in the digital scrapping world. I have a fabulous husband who tolerates me and all of my wild hairs of both the literal and figurative variety. My skills including feeding a family of 7 carryout every night for under $30 a pop, ignoring dirty dishes and TiVOing things I never watch.
I asked Angie to share her favorite Eva layout with us:
Next, here is Claudia
I’m Claudia and I have been digiscrapping for almost 3 years now. My husband and I have been together for over 9 years now and we have three sons. Bryan will be 6 in April, Jordan will be 4 in April and Diego is 2 months old. I work in Human Resources and enjoy my job very much although I am enjoying staying home now due to the new baby! I’ve been on Eva’s team for quite some time now and enjoy working with all her kits. Most of my pages have Spanish journaling because it’s very important to me that my kids and future generations don’t lose the language. I love taking pictures and pretty much always have my camera with me.
And Claudia’s favorite layout:
Next up is Deena
Hi I’m Deena, I am happily married to a wonderful man, we have a well blended family 3 of mine, 1 of his, and 1 ours. I will soon be the mom to 2 teenagers, with my oldest turning 16 this year, and my oldest daughter turning 13. I have an 8yr old son with Spina Bifida, and a gorgeous 4yr old curly headed daughter as well. I have been digital scrapping since 2005, and was instantly hooked. I was never a paper scrapper though. I have been using Eva’s designs almost as long as I have been scrapping, as my first digi home was The Digi Chick. I have been on Eva’s team since shortly after she joined Sweet Shoppe Designs. I just missed her too much when she left The Digi Chick!
And a layout from Deena:
Next up, Jadelyn
My name is Jadelyn Alvarez. I am have been happily married for 12 years this month. I have two adorable kiddos who are my main scrapping/photography targets. One enjoys it, the other tolerates it. I have been digiscrapping since July of 2006 and have been with Eva just about that long. I am addicted to it. I love Eva’s designs – they are lots of fun to work with. My favorite layout using Eva’s products right now is http://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=75290&ppuser=187. I made it for an ADSR Challenge. I just might have to frame it up and put it up in my house! LOL!! Other than scrapping I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends – just doing whatever – movies, tv, game night, etc.
Let’s meet Becky:
I am a stay at home mom to the sweetest, cutest, busiest twin 3 year old boys one has ever met!! I have been completely addicted to digital scrapbooking and telling the stories of our family for about a year and a half now. I live in Oklahoma, but spent 2 1/2 years living in France which is where our boys were born! Other than scrapping, I enjoy cooking, reading cookbooks, and drinking really good coffee!
And here’s a layout from Becky:
Next up, I’d like to introduce two of our new girls.
Jennifer:
I am a 29 year old SAHM with 2 children. My son is 5 and my daughter is 3. I live in North Carolina with my husband of nearly 8 years. I love to scrap (both digi and paper!), read, shop, garden, and take yoga classes. I’m a teaching dropout who decided I’d rather play with my kids all day than teach in a classroom–and I’m loving SAHM-hood!
And last for today, we have Amy
Amy’s a 37 yr old momma to two boys ages 4.5 and 22 months. She lives in Arizona with her husband of 5 years. She’s been digital scrap-booking for less than a year, but she was a paper scrapper for over a decade! On top of that she loves to cook, hike, read, paint and draw and play with her kiddos.
Hope you’ve enjoyed these quick little peeks into our team member’s lives!! Jennifer will be back on the 18th to introduce you to the rest of our fabulous team!!
