Have You Heard?

Number Two:

Stay tuned for a sneak peek of my newest kit and a chance to win!
Until then - Happy Scrapping! :)

Someone's Turning 4....

... and it's not me or my DS.. It's ScrapMatters, of course!  :)  And to celebrate, we've got a rocking sale going on - 30% off PU and 20% off CU, plus the forum is just hopping with all kinds of games, contests and other good fun.. And what would a birthday be without a blog train, of course?!  And this time we've got almost 50 people who've put together some gorgeous goodies for you using the latest SM collab, Garden Party.

Stunning, no?  And what's even better, it's FREE with a $20 purchase clear up until August 11th!  So go empty your wish lists and get scrapping!  :)

Now - you should have just come from Jennifer Labre's blog, and next up is Angie aka Down This Road Designs.  Before you move on, though, go ahead and grab this sweet little page border I've put together for you.. 

As you're riding the rails, if you ever lose your way, head over to the ScrapMatters blog for a full listing of all the stops.. Oh!  And as an extra bonus, some of the downloads along the way include a piece of a photo puzzle.  Once you collect all ten pieces, put them together, upload to your favorite photo hosting site and post a link to the image in THIS thread of the SM forum for a chance to win some extra goodies!  The pieces are scattered randomly throughout the train, so be sure you collect everything to ensure you get all the pieces..

And with that, I'm out.... but have a great weekend, enjoy all the goodies, and most of all - happy scrapping!  :)

It's iNSD!!!

Oh my goodness.. are we finally here?  Have we finally made it?  I know so many of my designer friends {and I} are just about to pass out from all the work this past week or so.. Not to mention all the amazing creative team members scrapping their little fingers off to get sample pages ready.  And what's all the fuss about, you ask?  Well, unless you live under a rock - like I sometimes do - you've heard that {inter}National Scrapbooking Day is here, and with it come some of the best sales of the year.. Of course ScrapMatters is in on the fun as well.. Be sure to check out the forum for al the details.



Check out this beautiful kit you'll get FREE with any $20 purchase this week...




Now on to the really good stuff.. I have a FABULOUS grab bag to offer as part of the festivities.. Seriously had SO much fun putting this together!  :)

Have a great weekend, and happy scrapping!  :D

Cyber Monday Coupon Blog Hop!

I'm making this quick... For those of you who don't know, Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday when you can find all kinds of yummy sales online.. Well, since ScrapMatters already {and is still} having an awesome Black Friday sale, some of the designers wanted to supplement those sale prices with additional discounts... in the form of a blog train, of course.. ;)

You should have just come from Jen Graham's blog - http://gltcblog.wyldgrahamcrackers.com/ - and here's what I have to offer...

Use the code smd_cyber_15 to get 15% off anything in my store.. CU & Custom Services included!

Next up, stop by Val's blog - http://geniabeanascraps.com- to see what awesome deals she has cooked up for you... Happy hopping!  :D

New BLACK FRIDAY Goodies!

Well happy Black Friday, everyone!  If you're just getting back from braving the crowds in the wee morning hours, congratulations!  For those of you still heading out - best of luck!  I've never done the crazy sale hunting myself, but I think I'd like to at least once in my life.. This year, though, just a quiet morning at home with the family.. :)

Anyhow, I have 3 fantastic new releases to show you this week, but first, a message from our sponsor.. ;)

 

You can find out more details and schedules for the chats and speed scraps HERE.

 

With sale prices this low, if you've been holding out on purchasing one of your favorite kits, now is the time to do it.. Perhaps one of these is getting a little too comfy in the warm confines of your wish list..

Now - you may recall the Boxed Up Advent Calendar I released last week.. Well, I'm also offering the templates for the boxes in 3 sizes - perfect for gift-giving, creating your own custom advent project, and so many other fun uses, as well!  I, personally, am looking forward to handing out matching hand-made necklaces to the girls/women in our family in their own personalized gift boxes.. What can YOU think of to use them for?

I've also teamed up this week with an old ScrapMatters alum - By Becca - to create this absolutely stunning holiday kit!

 

A beautifully traditional Christmas kit with subtle vintage undertones, plenty of gold accents, and just the right amount of sparkle - perfect for adding a bit of class and elegance to your holiday pages.  We never even talked about the kit having any sort of vintage feel to it, but we both managed to put just the right combination of things together to give it a classic, turn-of-the-century feel.. I'm really SO pleased with how it came out!  :D 

I also have this coordinating alpha, but it's SO timeless and wonderful, it can work with pretty much any kit you choose...

 

 

A classic vellum alpha with a subtle damask pattern, edged in a delicate glitter detail - perfect for winter, holidays, weddings, special occasions, and so much more!  Comes pre-shadowed in 5 colors: red, green, gold, blue & pink.  Upper & lower cases, numbers and some symbols.

Now check out these killer CT pages.. There were so many I couldn't include them all, but definitely keep an eye on the galleries this weekend - there is some serious talent out there, kids... ;)

My newsletter subscribers got this matching freebie.. If you're not already subscribed, you should be.. ;)

And now - the winner of this week's sneak peek contest is.... jovita!  Email me for your coupon.. 

 

And of course, be sure to check back here on Monday for a coupon blog hop - special coupons to supplement the Cyber Monday sale from select ScrapMatters designers.. Until then.... Happy Scrapping!  :D

It's almost here.....

Great big sale time is coming.. are you as excited as I am....??  See you tomorrow... :D

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!

Can you believe it's November already?  And that the glorious weekend known as DSD is finally here!?  I have 2 new grab bags, an older product being moved over from my guest spot at SBG, the winner of my grab bag sneak peek contest, and the chance to win a $50 GC to my store!  But I know you all have lots of plans for shopping, chatting and scrapping, so I'm going to keep this quick - or at least as quick as I can..

 

First up - ScrapMatters is having a KILLER sale!  Really the best in the industry, I think - 40% off for a whole week!     We also have SO many incredible games and activities planned, you really need to check them out!

Now - on to the goodies.. I'm so excited to offer my first ever Commercial Use Grab Bag!     I'm offering 4 brand new commercial use products for just $5!  That's only $1.25 per piece - you can't get much better than that - especially for CU!  Here's the reveal, but check out the images in the store for a better view..  These have all been quality checked for your peace of mind, and no credit is required.     And of course, what's DSD without a personal use grab bag as well?     This fantastic bag of scrapping basics includes 4 brand new products - including a FULL KIT - all for $4!  Seriously - $1 for a full kit?  When does that happen?!?  Never!  So grab it before it's gone.. And rather than showing you all the goodies here, I'll just show you the AWESOME pages from my CT, and you can pop on over to the store for the full reveal..     You may have noticed a few familiar pieces on the pages, and that's because I'm bringing my Well Loved Alpha over from my guest gig at Scrapbookgraphics, as it coordinates perfectly with the kit in the grab bag..

Along with all the new goodies, I also have a chance for you to win a $50 GC to my store...

 

Now finally the winner of my grab bag from the sneak peek contest.. Congratulations to... Lisa & Heather!!  With only 2 entrants, I figured I just couldn't say no to one of them.. So go ahead and email me to redeem your prize.. :)

And with that, I'm off... but be sure to check back tomorrow for the ScrapMatters blog train - you won't want to miss it!

Happy scrapping!
