Autumn in All Its Glory and A Freebie!
Autumn has always been my favorite season, although I've always found it to be a bittersweet time of year. Especially when I lived in Vermont, knowing that winter was right around the corner, was the impetus to thoroughly enjoy each day of Indian Summer and Autumn glory that came my way. I've tried to capture the glory of this season in these Commercial Use backgrounds featuring stairs and paths. Perfect for fantasy backgrounds, seasonal layouts, and blending into textured papers, I hope you enjoy this collection of 8 12" x 12" background papers. All the photographs were taken by my husband and the product is quality checked, so you can use these in your layouts and kits with confidence.
Available HERE:
One of my favorite places to visit in the fall (and any other time of year) is the mountains and forests. And it was my love of these places that inspired my latest kit: Mountain Whispers. The kit and all the add-ons are 25% off for its release and buying all of them bundled together saves you 30%. PLUS, you can save an additional 10% on the bundle during its introduction.
And my favorite part of releasing a new kit showing you what the CT team did with it:

Are you a fan of Art Nouveau?
Do you love the elegance and natural lines of Art Nouveau? I've always adored this style, popular in the late 1800's and early 1900's. When I visit museums, I head first for the rooms that display objects and arts from this time period. So Nouveau Nostalgia is a kit I've been wanting to do for a long time. I had so much fun doing it and hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
The kit contains 14 papers including some extra fancy ones and 49 elements, all created at 300 dpi.
And so you can see the page kit in action, here are some layouts created by the StarSongStudio CT Team:

And I was having so much fun, I created some co-ordinating extras: cluster frames, photomasks, stacked papers and word art.
All of the extras work well independently as well as with the page kit.

10 Contest Winners and New Contest
10 Contest Winners
That's right. 10 Winners. I had so much fun reading everyone's comments for the DST Blog Train and contest to win my latest kit, Toys in the Attic. So I decided to pick five times as many winners as I had orginally planned. So without further ado, here are the winners:
- #7 Sherry
- #8 Lana
- #9 Scrappy Mama
- #13 April Galbraith
- #14 Gramble
- #15 Karen Diebolt
- #16 CindyB
- #28 Gran2boys
- #32 roseaddict
- #33 Janelle
I have no way of contact you from your comments so if the winners would send me an email at amplantier@aol.com I will send you the download links via YouSendIt to the email address that you indicate.
I especially loved hearing from all you book lovers. I love, love, love reading. I think I could single handedly keep my library in business. Actually I regularly use 4 local libraries. I live in a thickly settled area of southeastern Pennsylvania and am so lucky to have so many libraries near by. When my children were young, I lived on an island in the middle of Lake Champlain in Vermont: Grand Isle. A small town with a very tiny library open only a few hours a week. So living so close to all these great libraries is literally a dream come true.
I have a section on my Pinterest page (http://pinterest.com/amplantier/) with recent books that I've enjoyed. I'd love to have you stop by and check out what I've been reading recently and even better if you have books on your Pinterest page, I'd love it if you would send me a link. And if you're not on Pinterest, you can always share books you've read and loved in the comment section.
SynderEnterprise, I loved your comments on the Gene Stratton Porter books. These were my mother's very favorite books when she was young and she searched long and hard to get me a set. I owe my love of reading to my mother who did everything she could to pass on her love of reading. She succeeded beyond her wildest dreams and as a young girl I would read under the covers with a flashlight as at one point she decided my reading had gotten out of hand and she would limit it. Fortunately that didn't last very long and I was back reading out in the open again. And since your comment brought back such wonderful memories of my mother who died in 2002, you are the first winner in the Treasured Books contest below. Just send me an email to get the page kit.
Another Contest: Leave a Comment To Win
While I was reading all of your comments, I realized that all of you book lovers were entering a contest to win my Toys in the Attic kit with only a few vintage books in it. This summer I released a collaborative kit that I did with my daughter Dawn (Morning Sun Designs) that is filled with books. It's called Treasured Books (not too original I'm afraid but certainly descriptive.) So it you would like to win this page kit with 18 papers and 81 elements just leave a comment at the end of this blog post. Oops. I forgot to put in that the contest will end on Sunday, September 9th. Stop back in on September 10th to see if you are a winner.
And if you would like to see the kit and all the add-ons I created to go with it you can check it out here:

DST September Blog Train Freebie and 40% Sale
It's that time of month again. Time for the train to leave the station. And the DST train is one of my favorites. I loved this month's theme devoted to creativity and inspiration. As a scrapbook designer I struggle with inspiration at times and it was fun for me to ponder what really inspires me as I started to work on my portion of the blog train.
Books. Books. Books. I adore books and always have since my very first picture books. I lived one block away from our local library - a huge old Victorian house with a curving staircase, marble fireplace, glass chandeliers and my favorite feature, huge old windows with cozy window seats in the children's section.
Leave a comment to enter Contest
But before you leave, I'm having a contest below. Leave a comment (by pressing Comments at the end of this post) for a chance to win my latest kit.
I'll be choosing several winners so your chances of winning are excellent. Check back here on Tuesday, September 4th to see if you are one of the winners.
You can grab my portion here:

- I'm a scrapbook addict. I've been involved with digital scrapabooking since July 2009, when my daughter introduced me to her favorite hobby. When I'm not scrapbooking (hmm, when exactly is that?), I'm enjoying life with my family including my two daughters and two grandsons, my husband Clemens and my Cavalier Spaniel, Vinnie. My hobbies include photography, reading, biking, and hiking.
