Still Scrapping? ...and another CT Freebie

Is anyone besides our CT still scrapping? (Btw, the CT Gallery is RoCkIN'!)

Our Member Gallery contest is still on (until May 15), but there haven't been any new uploads since NSD. I'm not nagging (ok, so I really am), but hey, we'd love to see what you're doing with our designs. We KNOW how many of you downloaded the MANY freebies that we gave away on NSD. So....get busy and get some layouts done and uploaded. We're offering prizes people....gift certificates to our shop! That means more free digi scrapping goodies! We're doing everything that we can, besides creating the layouts for you. Oh wait, we've even done that. We've created dozens of "Click" Pages and Templ-Ettes that you could "make your own" and upload. Hey, there really are just no good excuses here. (picture me standing here with my arms crossed, tapping my toes impatiently.) Do you feel sufficiently guilty yet? *smile*

On another note, one of our CT members, MonalisaSmiles, was on holiday during NSD. She has some adorable "post-NSD" FREEBIES that she's offering on her blog right now (see image below). Be sure to check them out! And hey, if you download them, add a photo and some journaling, and upload the layout to the gallery! (still nagging :)

ThAnK YoU!

We want to thank everyone who participated in our NSD activities. We had a lot of fun, and hope you did too! We hope you all enjoy the freebies and are enjoying the products you purchased or won! If you missed any of the freebies, head over to the shop right now. I'm going to leave them active until Monday morning (I'd take them down at midnight tonight, but hey...I'm going to go to bed EARLY -- hopefully :)

A BIG THANK YOU to our Creative Team members too. They all worked unbelievably hard to help us get sample layouts done for the new collections. And, while working on those layouts, we asked them to create freebies for NSD. Thanks for putting up with our "pace" :) We couldn't ask for a better team!

And...just a reminder that your chances to win are NOT over yet....read on:

Last Freebie for NSD


We just added one last freebie to the shop to celebrate iNSD. This one is another "Click" Page created with the NSD Freebie Mini Kit...you'll get both a titled and an untitled page. Get it while you can.

All of the freebies from our CT members, as well as those that Annette and I created are also still in the shop, but they won't be there for long..so again, grab them while you can! And last, but certainly not least, don't forget to visit Dorene, MaryRuth & Anna's blogs to get the freebies they are offering for iNSD!

Speed Scrapping Contest


THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

I've decided that you guys are as quick as I am :) Our lucky winner is

BRITT BOOHER -- the SPEED SCRAPPING QUEEN!

Lol...Britt was the ONLY fast one among us. She completed FOUR layouts in the time allowed! Britt wins a $10 gift certificate to the shop. Congrats, Britt! I'll email the info to you!

Remember to keep uploading your layouts to the shop. We have a Gallery contest going until May 15. Everyone who uploads a layout to the Member Gallery by the 15th will be entered into a drawing to win gift certificates to the shop. So...keep scrapping with our designs and share your projects in the Member Gallery!

If your Freebie Mini Kit was missing the dragonfly, download it here.
