Hello all!

I’m terribly sorry, I’m so late in posting this. There has been so much going on after the new year started. Life was getting in the way big time. And we were all focussed on Sine’s retirement.

Yes ladies, it is true. Sine is retiring from the template business. What does this mean? Except that my sweet team mate Jenny is close to tears (we love you Jenny, we’ll stay in touch!). It means that there is a huuuge, gigantic, phenomenal retirement sale. And if you think I am slightly exaggerating here, think again!

All, yes ALL of Sine’s products will be on sale til the end of January for - can you believe it - ONE Dollar. No kidding, no hidden costs. ;-) This even includes all her CU products. Oh and her old products are coming back as well. See? Did I exaggerate? I think not.

Go to the shop and stock up your Sine stash before it’s too late.

And in the future? You may have noticed, that I said Sine is retiring from template making. But can you envision her without Photoshop? I mean, how could she live without a good alibi to sit in front of the pc? ;-) Sooo, you might want to stay updated. For example if you liked our Viovio quickpage album.

Because while Designs by Sine is coming to an end, Creative Eyes Designs will continue. And actually…heheh…you haven’t seen all of it yet. I suggest you sign up for our new newsletter and be the first to know, when the next chapter starts. Just click on the logo.

Don’t want to work with templates, but could still use some speeding up with all the christmas scrapping ahead? Then you’ll love the SO Useful - Frame clusters. Pre-arrangged photo clusters. To combine and twist. They give you lots of photo placement possibilities in a snap!

.. and I didn’t cry.. Pretty amazing never the less!!

Ginger here and I have good things to share. Of course the November freebies, but on top of that I want to share some exiting news with you.

A few weeks ago Sine was contacted by Viovio – a photo book printing site – if she would like to design photo book templates and sell them on their site. The thing was, that they do not need scrap templates, but complete quickpage albums. This was an interesting project, but needed a lot of extra work. So Sine asked me, if I wanted to join in. Well, actually she skipped the part where she asked me and simply told me, we were teaming up for this. LOL

And now, after some initial struggling and getting used to the task, we are on! Whoohoo! You will find us under the name “Creative Eyes”. The new Viovio system is an online solution for photo book designing. You do not have to install a software, but instead directly choose a template and then drag and drop your uploaded photos. Really easy and perfect to quickly assemble a whole album. And because you do not download the graphics, but pay a fee per printed book, it is definitely cheaper, than what you would normally pay for a 20+ page quickpage album, that maybe you will use only once as well.

So check out our first book template by clicking the preview. There will be more albums available soon.

Champagne Moments available at Viovio

Ok giving you the November freebies now! Yes, that’s correct it’s two of them this time! If you get Sine’s newsletter, you will already know, that there have been some troubles with free coupons. So as an apology, everyone got TWO freebies. And in case you have not suscribed to the newsletter yet, do that here to get all freebies one month before they show up at the blog!

Will I ever learn..

If you have been around my blog earlier, to get my halloween freebie, you should click again.. I accidentally inserted a wrong zip.. So if you got a template, click again.. If you got masks, you’re all good.. :D

If you feel left out for not getting the template, keep an eye out on SO on DSD (next weekend) where Sally will host a little event.. ;)

Yup! It’s that time of the year again.. :D

Knock my door, and get a little treat.. ;)

Halloween Blog Train

The next stop for your blog train is at Amanda’s blog.

The blogtrain doesn’t officially start till midnight EST, so if there’s a road block, please check back in later, to take the full tour. :D

Enjoy the ride, and happy halloween!!! :D

This is going to be a looong post. Everyone who stays til the end, will get a cookie there. Hm. Or maybe not. You will see, when you’re there. :-)

First things first: The X-factor. Clearly I know who has it. I have an excellent taste and as it happens, some current experience with younger British guys. You ask my younger British boyfriend, he will confirm that. And that is why Sine’s favourite got himself into the bottom two acts and mine didn’t. Just saying…

But thanks for posting the eye candy. I’m sure you made a lot of people happy, seeing Joe. :-)

Ok, then there is a phantastic new product to show you. Fadeouts Vol2. In case you can’t remember  Fadeouts Vol1, look here. Now, in the CT we sometimes ask Sine for templates or make suggestions. And the number one product, requested the most was another Fadeouts set. Taadaa!

Twelve faded out textpaths in a distressed look! Perfect for creating your own wordarts and overlays. You get stand alone shapes and border bound paths. They are .psd files and so far tested and approved in PS CS2-4 and PSPx2. If you have used Sine’s text paths in your program before, you should be fine.

And I said the team loved those…here you go, their fabulous pages.

Aren’t they just beautiful??? And no, we are not at the end yet! Beeecause I forgot to show you Sine’s fabulous calendar toppers. Not only can you make fantastic calendars with them, they would make a great brag book as well. Can you hear it? How they whisper “christmas presents” to you? ;-)

SO Topped

And again here comes some eye candy for you.

Ok, and NOW you have reached the end of this post. And there is no cookie. I’m sorry, I’m a bad person. BUT I am telling you that there art a LOT of good things coming the next days. Like the November freebie… And isn’t that even better than a cookie? Hmm, thinking of it…still thinking of it. Can’t decide!
