The Commercial Use 1-2-3 Sale is in full force.

Three awesome Commercial Use products from one designer and for just $2.00.  That’s a minimum discount of 50% and it only goes higher from there.

Here’s a look at a gorgeous example of Commercial Use from Valentina’s Creations.  A collection of goodies to design with balance and colour coordination, easily.  Notice the shapes of the elements.  Long, wide, short, floral, natural and even texture.  All of these things makes for an excellent design.

This is a Designer Stash from Feli Designs.  My drive is full of Feli’s gorgeous Commercial Use.  You can use Commercial Use items just as you would Personal Use items.  I often supplement my typical kits with Commercial Use for my own personal use, as well.  Design layouts, your own Facebook Wear or Blog wear, too using Commercial Use.

BooLand Designs has this fantastically fall template set available in the $2 sale.  I actually own this one and just used it to design some fall goodies for The Cherry On Top fans.  These kinds of templates are really fun to use.  You clip in your own papers and or recolour the pieces to fit your exact needs.  I also use effects to give more texture and warmth to my layouts and printables.

You could make a fun place setting with the Commercial Use items.  Perhaps a poster to frame or decorate a goodie bag.  I also used Commercial Use items for that very project.  You can check it out here for an example.

See how one can alter the colours, add shadowing, texture or even glitter if you choose, with these kinds of templates.  I’m warning you, once you start, you may just become addicted to using Commercial Use.  My best piece of advice for an expanding Commercial Use library is to organise.  Here’s a tutorial on how to do that.

For those of  you that love ribbons & bows & all things frilly, be sure to stop by Manu Scraps wonderful extractions.  Yellow is one of my favorite colors (it’s so gray out today).
