    My story of becoming a designer is rooted in my story as a scrapbooker and storyteller. My very first products were page designs created from my own memory keeping. And over time I created a large catalog of template designs hoping they would become the perfect foundations for your own storytelling.

    For example this.....

    Became this....

    I think it's because of these nostalgic roots that I have held on to these products for so long. But as my brand and heart expands into illustration and classes and other aspects of storytelling and memory keeping, it is time to let them go to make room for new and fresh product lines.

    Soooooo....I am saying "goodbye" to a hefty chunk of my catalog.

    Nearly ALL of my page design products will be riding off into the sunset. Grab bags, story centric page designs, layer rich page designs, simple page designs, all of it save a handful of favorites will be going *poof* at the close of tomorrow 31 March. There is still a wee window of time to grab your favorite foundational designs and turn them into your own favorite pages. You can shop them HERE.

    Your templates have always been the ones I try hardest to keep journaling on & tell stories with!

    I've been discovering some of your templates that I didn't have... gasp... I thought I had grabbed most of them! :giggle It's been so fun playing with them and I think I'm gonna stroll through your retirement sale again and see what else catches my eye, before they're gone for good. LOVE EM ALL! :heartslub

    Here's some more layouts with your wonderful templates... I'm kinda sad to see them retiring, but happy to hear you've got new product lines in the works. Can't wait to what you create! :wub

    was surprised by how much stuff you have in the sale but loved reading this! [​IMG]
    i missed this grab bag before apparently and just used the top left template to make this page, switching some of the paper strips for brushstrokes/mixed media - it's making me think about traditional templates in a different way!

    I was always so scared of templates, until you! and with Crystal-I think I bought every grab bag! oh so many years ago, my mind wanders, but your brand StoryTellers, near and dear to my heart.
    how fun to begin a new way to tell stories!
    Happy days
    and yes,
    We are Story Tellers!

    Thank you for so many pages told in books on the shelf. That are pulled out again and again!

    So many amazing products!! I'm pretty sure I have every grab bag that you and Crystal did, and they have been my favorites for year, as well as many of your single designs. They helped me create so many amazing memories!
