SAD kit at 3Scrapateers!

As most of you know, 3Scrapateers has new ownership. We've also changed the way we do the Scrap-a-Deal and Half 'n Half kits. Instead of 1 week, there's now only 1 of each monthly. I'm first up with this new format - and let me apologize for the delay in getting this on my blog! I'm a bad blogger LOL! So let me present the first half of A Jolly Season (image is clickable)! Buy the first part for only $2.00, then upload your creation to the 3Scrapateers gallery by midnight on December 6th to receive the 2nd part for FREE! Don't forget to join me for the chat on December 5th at 10 p.m. and you'll get a coordinating freebie just for coming! Hope to see you there!

CT/Advertising Coordinator Call!

VOTE on Election Day!

I normally won't post things like this, but I feel this race is extremely important to our country! While many may not be happy with the Bush administration, please don't let that be your deciding factor when voting. Keep in mind that whether Democrat or Republican the elected official is still NOT going to do everything they promise - that's just politics! I believe that everyone should vote how they want, but I also believe people should be well-informed. So before you vote for Senator Obama, please take a look at this Live-Birth Abortion video, and read this article from AfricanPress Wordpress Blog.

We CAN decide... but we all need to vote. So no matter who you support - take a stand and VOTE!

I have added new product at both stores, but its going to be slow going as I have to re-package all my kits... but everything at both Scrappy Thoughts and Scraphead will be on sale until all my products are added.

Also 3Scrapateers is having a Customer Appreciation Sale and my products there are on sale as well. You will also find that my products at Pretty Scrappy are on sale. Products at Etsy will not be included in this sale as they are not a regular scrapping site.

I'm happy to say...

the blog in the post below has been deleted. I know there were a lot of designers being pirated and its very sad. Hopefully, with each success we have against piracy it will be one step toward stopping it altogether.

Blog Pirate

If you're a designer reading this, please check out THIS blog. Maybe its not your work, but you know the designer. The pirated designer can file a complaint with Blogger by clicking here.

Designers work long and hard on their kits, and no one has the right to offer them as downloads. If you know of freebies, please direct your friends to the site offering it. Downloading it and then offering it from your site, blog, etc. is piracy!

A new look!

Well, I decided to update my blog... and if the stuff you see looks familiar its because you're getting a look at pieces in my new kit, Linda's Bouquet! The beautiful alpha you see is by my friend, April Bern and you can find it here. The string is from Wendy aka Broken Jar Creations and you can find all of her great stuff at DoItDigi so check it out. You can also find April's stuff at DoItDigi and ScrapCloud. Hope you enjoy the new look!

And while you're at it DoItDigi is having a huge sale! So check it out!

Time for a new pipsqueak

Life is sooo busy... and while a weekly freebie is not possible anymore, I do have a freebie for you today! Linda's Bouquet has just been released, and these flowers will coordinate perfectly with it! Enjoy!

This download has expired.

Birthday Sale

In honor of my birthday, all my products (excluding commerical items) will be on sale starting tomorrow, April 21st and running through April 28th! Sale will be at ALL of my stores!

Fabulous Camouflage!

I've created 2 great camo paper packs - both a boy and a girl set! They're fun and grungy and currently on sale at all of my stores! So check them out because the sale won't last long!

At last... a freebie!

I know it's been a long time since I've handed out a freebie... there's just been so much going on and all the rainy, icky weather has really taken a toll... but I've finally got a new Pipsqueak for ya, so I hope you enjoy this folded/curled paper I've made just for you from my Parisian Flea Market kit which is available at 3Scrapateers, Do It Digi, and ScrapCloud. This paper could also be re-sized to make a really nice journal mat too... so without further ado...

Half 'n Half kit at 3Scrapateers

I have the Half 'n Half kits for the March 20th Half 'n Half crop. Normally, its just one kit, but I've got baby boy/baby girl kits and have been allowed to offer them both at the price of $3.00! This deal is only good for one week and ONLY at 3Scrapateers. For the $3.00 you receive half of the kit. Upload a layout created with the first portion of the kit you purchased and you receive the 2nd half as a posting bonus!

a new release...

but before I get to that, I'd like to apologize for the lack of freebies the last couple of weeks. I've been super busy, and I've got to tell you that all of the piracy coming to light lately just makes me nauseous. So.. I'm going to endeavor to give you a freebie on Friday, but for now, here's my new kit... Parisian Flea Market!

What a week!

This week has just flown by. This past weekend, my DH and I went out for Valentine's Day since it was during the week. My mom and sister picked up the kids and we picked them back up on Sunday. It was really nice to have the break! Yesterday school was dismissed for freezing rain/ice/sleet. So I had my 3 and a little boy in my son's class. Well, guess what? No school today so I have all 4 kids again today... it makes for a VERY noisy household. However, I still managed to get your pipsqueak done, so without further ado...

a different kind of pipsqueak

This week, I thought I'd try to do something a little different... I give out a lot of quickpages... but they're all 12x12... this week I decided to do brag book size! So this is only 4x6. The papers for the frames are from Cupid's Kiss kit. The background paper was created as a freebie for my Scrap-a-deal chat at 3Scrapateers. Hope you enjoy!

To download from Mediafire, click here. As always, please leave a comment if you take the freebie!

Last Chance!

Today is the final day to get my Cupid's Kiss kit at the special price of $2.00! Tomorrow the full-sized kit will be released and on sale for a limited time, but the $2.00 deal will be gone! So... what are you waiting for? Go pick up Cupid's Kiss here, and join me tonight at 3Scrapateers at 10 p.m. for this week's SAD chat. It'll be lots of fun and you'll get some freebies for coming!

Freebie time!

Well, it's Friday so that means its time for a new freebie. I've got a scrap-a-deal kit at 3Scrapateers called Cupid's Kiss (see the post below) and this freebie was created with pieces from that kit. You can click here to get the kit. An explanation of how a SAD kit works is in my previous blog post and also in the kit description!
