Lee Benkers Etsy Shop 50% Sale!

I've been working on the collab, Little Did I Know, with the designer's at Hummie's World and was not able to find the time to put a freebie together for today.  Instead, I am having a 50% sale at my etsy shop for the first week of September. Please stop by and let me know what you'd like!

Thank you!

SNEAK PEEK: Little Did I Know Collaboration Kit

New Kit: Keep In Touch AND Announcing My Creative Team

First, I want to announce my Creative Team (CT).  A couple of months back I had a CT call for a few CT members to be layout artists for my new kits.  I was looking for three but am happy with two since they have been awesome at creating layouts.  Please welcome, Nan and Kim.

The friends (helpers) at Hummie's World will also create layouts for me from time to time.  They have always been a great help with layouts and so many other things.  They are, Dawn and Bernie.

Thank you, ladies!

To the new release! I had wanted to get my new kit, Keep In Touch, out sooner in the month but with my health issue and the kids starting school, it just wasn't possible.  I am happy that I am able to get it out this month though, even if it is the last week of the month.

This kit is called, Keep In Touch.

Keep In Touch is available in my shop at Hummie's World.  It will be on sale for $4 until the end of September.

I'd love to see what you do with this kit so send me an e-mail to lbenkers[at]hotmail[dot]com.  If you currently participate in the challenges at Hummie's World or have a gallery there, post your layouts there and let me know so that I can send you some love!

Here are inspirations from my creative team and friends at Hummie's World:

Passport to Inspiration Digital Book

Hope your morning is going great!  Mine is. :-)

I've been feeling pretty good and exactly like myself since yesterday so I am just extremely happy and thankful.

This morning I want to share something awesomely cool that Diane and Bernie put together at Hummie's World to share with you.  It is a digital book of kits and creative team layouts you can use as inspiration in your digital scrapbooking.

Open publication - Free publishing - More digital

This is really a wonderful book!  I hope you will take the time to flip through it and find your inspiration.

Thanks to Diane and Bernie for their hard work in putting this together.

Friday Freebie: Piecing Set

I have not been feeling too good.  You can read more about what I am dealing with on my personal blog (see side for link).  I do have a kit that should be out within the next week or two.  I am so excited about it! 

Today's freebie is all about piecing, except for the papers.  Hope you like!

Enjoy your weekend!

Friday Freebie: Faith Art Journal

I've been working on the new kit + my girls started school this week (you can read about it, here) so I was not able to make digi-scrapbook freebies for today.  I still wanted to put a freebie out for you, my fans, so I made the Faith art journal peace into a freebie.  I replaced the original birds, which were not free to share, with birds that are, from Arbent.net.

If you are interested in the individual papers and elements to create your own oceanic view you can grab the mini kit freebie previously posted, here.

Feel free to print and/or share this art journal.  NOTE: the file is a JPG, not PNG.  Sorry for the error.

Have a great weekend and keep yours eyes open for the new kit!

Friday Freebie: Diamond Metal Papers

Hope you had a great week.  I've noticed that the weather has changed a bit.  It's a little cooler and nights are a tad bit chilly-er.  I like this kind of weather.  My girls are starting school next week.  I can't believe that my 5-year-old is starting Kindergarten!  Sometimes, I really miss her being the little baby in my arms sound asleep.  My 10-year-old is going on to 5th grade.  I too miss her baby and toddler years.  I wish that I had written more and scrapped more of her younger years.  But, no worries, now that I'll have a bit more time on my hand, I can catch up.

Here are four diamond metal papers for lots of fun and creative digi-scrapping and everything else!

Have a great weekend!

Friday Freebie: Corkboard Set

I was debating as to whether I should post this freebie tonight or wait until next week.  I've been worn out from a trip the family took earlier in the week to Mesa Verde and have also been watching the Olympics.  I decided to post the freebie. :-)

Enjoy the weekend!
