New stuff!

House of 3 came out with new kits over at the store! Digital and hybrid kits! I love these Frames. The kit comes with colored frames, black frames all in PNG files and also an ABR brush file! I've been having so much fun with these things! The fun this is: they come in the filled in version and the outline version. So you can mix them like above or you can use alone this:

and here's a little 1,2,3 about how to use the PNG files & ABR files.So fun! Love them!

And for those that love to have a hybrid project...ch*check these new kits out!
Here's the Frames Printable Kit. Look at how cute Heidi used this kit!
Just print out the PDF with the 2 frames. Heidi printed out on acetate transparency, cut out the frames & put them together with the photos! added dangles, bling & voila! so cute!

sitting in the airport....

waiting for my plane back home. I have spent the past couple of days with my sisters, mom & sisters in law (we missed you, Cheri!) for my sister's birthday celebration. It was such a party.
shopping.
laughing.
eating.
shopping.
laughing.
digital scrapping.
photography.
laughing.

you get it.

It's been one of those few days that just fills you up. We laugh together. We laugh so hard we cry. It is just so much fun to be with people that get you. & love you no matter how quirky, silly or just plain weird you might be.

Each one of my sisters, mom & sisters in law are so incredibly fantastic. I want to be a better person when I see the kinds of moms they are; the kinds of wives they are; the kind of people they are.
Thank you, guys, for being so incredibly GOOD. You just inspire me to push harder...try to be better. I love you so much!
and now...my plane is boarding. excited to see the other loves of my life....my cute family!

More questions & answers:::

Thanks so much for all of the great response to House of 3. As with any new site there are a lot of questions & bugs to work out. That's to be expected, right? I'll do my best to answer them & help out.
Q: I see the Enjoy the Process buttons everywhere...what does this have to do with House of 3?
Great question! Firstly, it's simply a way of thinking...of enjoying any aspect of your life...the process of everyday living. Hof3's mantra is also 'enjoy the process.'

Secondly- As many of you know, I had a book that was coming out called Enjoy the Process. Unfortunately, it was cancelled with Autumn Leaves. But...House of 3 is doing something with the whole concept...so, keep watching!

From the looks of things, there is a small percentage of the downloads that are having problems...most of them are working. But, like I said, we are getting the bugs out & appreciate your patience!

______________________
Q: What did you use to bind the Valentine Book together? I just punched holes with a regular hole punch & added small 7 Gypsies rings to it. Super easy!
______________________
Q: Do you print everything out on Bazzil Cardstock? Yours looks really sturdy, almost like chipboard. It is pretty sturdy. I printed out everything & either backed it to each other or used Bazzil on most of it. The only exception is the back cover. I wanted this pretty sturdy, so I cut out chipboard & added the black Bazzil on one side & the strips of paper on the other.
______________________
Q: Where do you get those mini manila folders, they are so cute . Guess what? They are just regular file folders, cut down to fit. They are about 6x8. Then the Printables papers are just adhered to some of them. Simple!
_______________________
Q: Love the doily, where did you get it? Wal-Mart. In the wedding section. :)
_______________________
Q: The Free Coupons are cute, but I can't think of what else can I do with them?
No worries! That's why we love to share ideas! Here are some fun things I've done with them. I printed them out on Avery Sticker paper (clear & white) & then created
1. a tin w/ M&Ms;
2. a little box filled with Valentine candy & stuck a white sticker coupon on top.
3. a bag filled with candy; used the clear sticker paper & the Valentines Printable extras on it.ok...I have more, but am running out of time...
keep the questions coming...& I'll do my best to answer!
have a fabulous day!

P.s. Crayonmaster, email me, ok?

Valentine Book....hybrid style!

Valentine's Day is coming up & it happens to be just a few days before our wedding anniversary, so I created a book for my husband....about us. about our Love Story. This House of 3 Valentine Book Printable Kit is perfect.

In the kit you'll get 1. a PDF How-To step by step from Heidi Swapp 2. Printable templates with papers & shapes you just print & cut out 3. Exclusive House of 3 Design District Font.
It's fabulous...you just follow the steps & the great thing is: You can print out as many pages as you'd like. And put them in any order, too! I LOVE manilla file folders, so I combined them in with a doilie & clear pockets. You can see more of my book Here.
I used some of my favorite new House of 3 Brush kits to create various clear stickers!
i love the possibilities!

Ok...I've LOVED seeing your Hof3 Blog Couture! Make sure you send me links so I can share and also, if you have any questions, let me know!
Have a wonderfully cReative day!

Some more Hof3 info....

First of all, thanks so much for the great response of House of 3! We love it! I've been busy answering tons of emails with your questions! So, I decided to some of the FAQs here!

Questions about House of 3 photos!
Are they real? Yes. 100%. Nichole & Jefra really didn't Photoshop that much. They are pretty close to SOOC - right out of the camera. Amazing, huh? We'll have some more info about this from THE photographers on our site soon! Seriously, we were blown away with their talent, vision & style!

Were you really in snow? Yes. Right in the mountains of UT...it was a gorgeous day & the artistic vision of Nichole & Jefra was so fab...breaking rules...shooting on a sunny day-right in the middle of the day! In fact we'll have 'behind the scenes' footage of this shoot; from riding a sled out in the field to falling off the chair in the snow; to frozen, numb feet. (look at how deep the snow is...standing in that for 3 hours makes for some ccccold feet!)



Is that a backdrop? Nope. 100% authentic. Mountains. Snow. sun. all real. The only Photoshopping skills were Nichole's finishing touch up Actions. more on that later!

Where are you? in a field out by Woodland Hills, UT...soooo pretty!

Where did you get that shirt you're wearing? ha! I loved this question...got it on Facebook & via email! I'm glad you like it...it's from Forever 21. Love it!

Where is my digital download? Once you register & purchase the digital stuff, you *should* get it immediately....the link that is. If you don't & you have any problems, please email us here:
