Thank you!!

Hello it's Leeanne again!  I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words.  I thought about disabling comments on the announcement post because I thought it would be hard but I realized I made the best decision and we had a great 4 years. 

Thank you you to everyone who purchased something from our big sale.  Kits will be in the mail Monday. 

We still have Papersmooches stamps and dies, Tim Holtz distress inks, and we also have the following kits left:
February 2013 scrapbook
May 2013  card
September 2013 scrapbook
October 2013 scrapbook
December 2013 scrapbook

We are offering 50% off your entire order and flat shipping of $7.50.  

We are  also offering Mystery Boxes of goodies.  They will include pattern paper, cardstock, and a wide variety of embellishments for $15.00 and the 50% discount can be applied.  This is a great deal!!

Thank you all again!!

Big announcement = BIG SALE

Oh wow, it sure has been a  long time since I have made a post.  Unfortunately today does not come with any good news.  

After months of deciding where to go next, I have decided to close shop.  Due to personal reasons as of March 1st we will no longer be offering new kits.  

To keep this short, the main reason for this decision is next year at this time my husband plans on quitting his job so he can go to school full time and finish up his degree.  He is going to school now but only going (very) part time.  At this rate it will be 5 more years before he finishes.  We have so little family time because he is so focused on school, it is really taking a toll on our family.  So he will quit his job and step it up and notch and hopefully finish in just over a year.  So half the time that we originally planned.  :-)  That means over the next year I need to focus on my family and get our finances and life in order.  On top of all that my kids are getting older and require a little more of my time; which I wouldn't change a minute of.  

It was a REALLY hard decision since we are coming up on our 4 year anniversary next month and I am filled with mixed emotions but ultimately it is time.  

So we will be selling everything in the store for 

50% off

our already low prices. 

Use coupon code AD2014 at checkout and your entire purchase will be discounted.  In addition there is a flat shipping price of $7.50. 

*if you have any issues with the web store please don't hesitate to email me, we have been having some problems lately - leeanne@artfuldelight.com*

I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support over the last 4 years.  To all my amazing design team members over the years, without you we would not have been able to continue for 4 years.  And to Debbie.....oh my goodness where do I begin.  Thank you for staying by my side as long as you have, picking kits and coordinating the team and  kinda holding things afloat for the last few months (well maybe closer to a year) while I dealt with my ever growing crazy busy life.  This whole experience was amazing and I have met some amazing people.  Many of you I am able to call my friend.  ;-)

I will not be disappearing.  I will still be stopping  by yours blogs, and will try to leave more comments.  And maybe soon, I will be able to get crafty again. 

Happy February 1st and sketch challenge winner

Movie Night

  Hello!  This is June with a little card inspiration.  The January card kit from Artful Delight is packed with fun!  Included in the kit:  the fun KaiserCraft "Tiny Dot" background stamp, Fancy Pants die cuts (tickets), KaiserCraft Sparklets (glittery heart gems), and Paper Smooches "We Totally Click" stamp set (director board/popcorn image and the "movie night" sentiment.)  The filmstrip tape is from the August 2013 card kit (sold out), and the twine and glossy accents are from a 2011 Artful Delight card kits.

There is still time to enter both sketch challenges too!  For a chance to win a February kit from Artful Delight, check out the scrapbook sketch or the card sketch on the right-hand side bar.  You have until midnight EST on January 23rd to link up.

Happy Sunday!  June

Hello My Name Is Sass

Hi everyone! Suzanne here sharing my layout inspired from Debbie's sketch and using the January Scrapbook Kit.   I flipped flopped the photo placement since my baby girl was leaning to the left. At just 3 weeks old she already had a lot of sass ;) I love that "Hello My Name Is" diecut included in the Fancy Pants Be Loved Ephemera Pack.  I hope you enjoy all the girly, pink goodness in this month's kit as much as I do!

Happy Valentine's Day Card

  This is June Houck and I am delighted with the January kit at Artful Delight.  Each kit is always fun and packed with so many goodies, and I promise that this particular kit is even yummier in real life.  The three patterned papers and the sentiment die cut are all Fancy Pants "Be Loved" and all are included in the January 2014 card kit.  My baker's twine is from a 2012 Artful Delight kit and the button was in my stash.

  Would you like a chance to win next month's kit?  Create a card using this sketch (or a layout using the scrapbook sketch...see the right side bar for both sketches and the link up tool.)

  I used the card sketch quite literally, so the card practically made itself.

Happy Sunday!  June

Sweet As Sugar

Hi everyone, Aimee here with you today.

Debbie's sketch this month is a perfect match to the January Scrapbook kit! I feel it gives the freedom to use a lot of the kit contents but still keeps the focus on the photo. Since the theme this month is Valentine's Day and hearts, I chose to sew a heart into my background instead of a circle. 

For more details please visit my blog here.
