Im in a Design Contest - so YOU get freebies!

I love doing designer contests, it pushes me out of my comfort zone, it pushed me to create more, and I always learn so much. The first designer challenge I ever dit was at Brownie Scraps, so of course when announced they woudl be hosting a design challenge I knew I couldn't miss it.

We had two colour swatches, both quite bright. I'd recently had a conversation with someone about using certain colours in a swatch as accents only, so I thought I'd try that. I made most of my kits very soft, almost the white of the colour swatch, and I used the brighter colours as accents. It's very different than anything I've made before, but I like it :)



You can pick it up in the Brownie Scraps gallery. And while you are there, check out the more than 20 other free minis.

You'll want to check that gallery regularly over the enxt 4 weeks as this contest continues and we have more and more minis for you.

I'd love to hear what you think of my mini :D

I'm in the Spotlight at Pretty Scrappy!

I'm in the spotlight this month at Pretty Scrappy! YAY!

What this means for you is this:

I have taken my most recent kit, Sleepy Snuggles, and split it into two parts. You can pick up Part One now for only $2. Make a Layout with it, and post in the Designer Spotlight thread and I will send you the second half of the kit for free!

Here is a look at Part One of the kit - availlable for just $2 at Pretty Scrappy:



And here is a look at Part Two, which I will send you free when you upload a layout to the Designer Spotlight thread:



Now - if you want to just skip that and pick up the full kit you can pick it up at DSDI (where I am currently running a sale!) or at STS.

And last but certainly not least - my CT member Janie has made this awesome QP for you (she used an awesome template by bta Designs - they are CU templates so you can use them for QPs, check out her store)!



You can pick it up here on 4shared - but only for one week, then you'll have to look for them in store :) And say a thank you to Janie!

New from Little Red Scraps - Snips n Snails

Being the mother of two boys, I'm always on the lookout for great boys kits (anyone else notice how disproportionate boys kits are to pink floral flowery ones?) so I was super excited when I saw this kit. Jane of Little Red Scraps had created Snips n Snails, which releases exclusively at Stuff To Scrap on the 30 (tomorrow! yay!). And for the first week, when you purchase the kit you will get the cardstock addon free!





I pulled out a few photos of Coram being silly at Christmas and here is what I made:



What a kooky guy LOL. Jane was kind enough to let me make this LO into a QP for you (silly face photos not included LOL). You can pick it up on 4shared by clicking this link right here:

Clickedy-doo-dah, clickedy-day click this link for a QP today...

(I just felt like singing, what can I say)

It will only be free for one week, so don't wait!

You'll want to swing by Janes Blog now because her CT have some other freebies, and she will link you up. She also has some information on some RAKs she's doing with the kit.

Have fun!
