Firecracker - New Release, A Freebie and a Coupon!

2009-06-24T13:41:00.007-05:00

I love love love this time of year! Independence Day has long been a favorite around my house--even when I was a child. We always got together with friends, did the BBQ thing, then headed up to the Moila for fireworks. I'll never forget those summer days and nights, they're such a big part of my childhood memories.

So, I decided it was time to get a basic Fourth of July kit created. You can find my newest kit, Firecracker, at both Pretty Scrappy and Scrapable. I took extra care to add lots of texture to the papers--I love creating elements with papers and I always want some texture when I'm doing that. You'll also find fun elements and great alpha-button set.

And of course I have a quick page freebie for you created with the kit!

Click here to download

And because I love great deals and I know you do too, I also included a coupon for the kit! The coupon expires on July 4th, so use it soon!

The Happy BDay Kit!

2009-06-08T12:02:00.003-05:00

I've been hoping to get a new birthday kit out--one that isn't too childish, not too girly and not traditional red, orange, blue and yellow! I'm so excited about this one because of its versatility. You can create a birthday layout with it OR just a beautiful layout page. It's also special to me because I created nearly all the elements myself (the metal flower border is the exception). It's a great little S4H birthday kit.

My kits are available here and here and of course I have an introductory coupon for you too!The pages from my CT are starting to roll in--I love 'em! Here are a few so far:

My friend, Teri Mayo, and I have come together to create the cutest kit! I really like this one (do I say that each time? well I mean it each time!!). It's called Hankey Pankey, because we liked the paisley papers and elements that reminded us of a hankey. It's got 26 beautiful papers, gobs and gobs of elements and the funnest alpha I've done yet! For now, you can grab this at Pretty Scrappy (I'll have an announcement about stores next week) only.

I've created a little qp for you with this kit. Click the pic and enjoy!

Spring Fling In Full Swing!

2009-01-27T12:19:00.000-06:00

I held my first One Kit Call this week and was super excited with the results! I had quite a big response, which is a good sign that the kit will be a hit. I put a lot of whimsical into this one and am very happy with how it turned out. For blog readers only, purchase $9 worth of ANY of my products at Pretty Scrappy or Scraphead and receive $4.50 off! And I'm having a sale. So...pretty much free stuff, which is always nice. Head over and use this coupon code for your discount: SCSPRING9

White Bird Release and a Freebie

2009-01-16T19:51:00.000-06:00

I know I say this every time, but THIS is my favorite kit!! One of my favorite songs, White Bird, inspired the title...and of course the little chipped metal white bird element too.

The kit includes 19 papers and loads of unique, fun elements. I think the layout possibilities are endless, it's one of those kits with enough 'neutral' appeal to allow you to bring out your own creative talents.

Papers:

I created a quick page to give you a little taste of what's in store for you if you have this kit in your collection. I've gotten a few reports of some downloading issues--I'm not sure what's going on with Mediafire, but I'm hoping there are no further troubles. If they are, I promise you I would fix it if I could, and I'll certainly do all I can. Okay, with that....enjoy!

New Blog...Finally!

2009-01-04T02:14:00.000-06:00

Well it's not my own domain, but it's definitely an improvement. I never used NiCoAl in my designs since I started selling in stores, so the blog, NiCoAlGoesDigiScrapping is kind of confusing! So........I am going to close the old blog down. Welcome to my new blog! I thought I'd start my first post with a look at my newest kit, It's A Fun Thing! Click the links below to find it in stores...it's such a fun, whimsical kit!
