Bon Scrapatit Designs: "positively embossable" mother's day gift edition is here and they are cu friendly too!

Merrily, merrily, it is the month of May! Where, oh where has the year gone to already? Here, there and everywhere! *wink*

So much to keep up with and just in the first week of May alone! Here in the USA, we have May Day on the first, Cinco de Mayo on the fifth, {i}NSD on the sixth and this year, Mother's Day on the eighth! Wowsers! Not to mention that we have a few birthdays sandwiched inbetween as well! ROFL! No rest for the weary, eh? Or should that read, the creative? He, he ...

As you can see from my last post, May 1st, I have won the battle against my brain and have made it here today to bring you a little something I've been working on the past couple of days. I had intended to create a little mini-kit and decided to go with offering up a few commercial-use friendly embossed overlays in the midst of my inspired layout creation! We can all thank Robert for that as he has gifted me with flowers several times this past week and ... well, naturally I just had to scrap them! *smile*

My darling Robert has finally realized that my desire for potted plants versus freshly cut flowers is beneficial to him as well as to me.

I would much rather have beautiful flowers to plant outdoors for us both to enjoy for a long time as opposed to cuttings indoors

that will only last for a week or so. Not only that, but my sweet man loves to tend to the park area he has created and I cannot think of

a better place to be putting flowers! Spring weather has finally arrived and we enjoy sitting outdoors getting some much needed fresh air

and beholding the beauty of our surroundings here in Copperopolis, California!

Layout created using my first collection of *Positively Embossable* overlays available for free until noon Monday, May 9th here at

Bon Scrapatit Designs. Doodle Brushes are by HG Designs, Flowers by Miss Tiina and Button by Something Blue Studios.

Before I leave you with an early Mother's Day gift, I wish to share with you an, undoubtedly, once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase either an extended membership (if you already have one) or a new membership to an amazing collection of photographer's and designer's tools at ActionFX!

ActionFX is owned and operated by Al Ward, who has not only presented us with a fabulous array of photo actions, brushes, custom shapes, styles and fabulous video tutorials over the past 12+ years, but is also an NAAP certified Photoshop expert and author of several books on Photoshop (check him out at Amazon!) and has even co-authored with the likes of Colin Smith and Scott Kelby!

Al is in the process of putting the finishing touches on his brand new website and is offering a one-year new membership (gives you access to all downloads available now and to come during your membership) for the unbelievable price of $24.95 and if you are already a member and for some reason have not received this news yet, a one-year extended membership for only $16.95! This simply cannot be beat for all that Al has to offer! Once Al's new website goes live, the price of a one-year membership will be $199, six months for $124.95 or one month for $29.95.

Let me make mention that ActionFX is not just for photographers or designers, but also for digital scrapbookers, web designers, etc. With the new site in place, Al will be offering over 500,000 Photoshop and Elements presets and tools, etc. "This will affect photographers, digital scrappers, Elements users, web designers ... the works!"

If you are an avid Photoshop user, whether it be PSCS or Elements, you simply cannot go wrong with a $25 investment to the access of so much creative goodness. I can very easily spend that alone on CU and/or digital scrapbooking purchases at a single digital scrapbooking site in one day! A membership to ActionFX will last you for an entire year. Better yet, you can even sign up for an additional year or two, or ... *grin*

Check out the current ActionFX site HERE

Click HERE to be taken directly to membership sign up page and grab a one-year all access membership while it's hot, hot, HOT!

In the event you need to give some thought to purchasing a membership, I have posted an ActionFX banner at the very top of my blog for convenience if you wish to come back at a later time. I know that the special price will remain in place through this weekend, but not sure beyond that at this time. I will keep you updated as I receive them and will also post a reminder before the weekend is over.

Thank you for reading me today and for all of the sweet and lovely comments you've left in my absence. *sigh* Y'all surely do know how to make a girl feel better quickly! LOL! I am pretty sure that I've caught up with each one of them!

Without further ado, Happy early Mother's Day ladies! I have a few extra goodies for you come Friday and am hoping to finish a kit I've been working on for you for {i}NSD this Saturday! *squee*
