The start of a new month means a new amazing color challenge.  This month’s color is BROWN and the inspiration kit is beautiful!

Who doesn’t like a little mystery in their life?  You’ll be given a set of instructions and you can give us YOUR take on the lift.

We will be lifting this great layout by Melonie for the scraplift challenge.  What parts do you want to lift?  Color?  Design?  The lift is up to your interpretation.

That’s it for now.  Hope you’re all having a great weekend so far!

Wow!  How did September get here so quickly!  Someone mentioned Christmas to me yesterday and I’m so not ready for that!

Thursday already and we all know what that means.  Lots of digigoodies for $2 or less!  Stop by the bin and see what amazing deals you can get.

A couple new releases to announce:
Tempus Fugit’s September Crazy $2 Grab Bag is here!

Our guest designer, Amanda Rockwell has posted 4 brand new items in the store

Espresso by z Pink Boudoir Designs, this is the item for the September color challenge

well i can finally … FINALLY say who the guest designer is for September… i’ve only known since about late June or so… and for those who know me .. i’m HORRIBLY horrible at keeping secrets… so this was tough!!!

Amanda has 4 brand new products in the shop right now and may be adding more as the month progresses.

Welcome, Amanda!

I love this part of my job, not only do I get to see really beautiful works of art, but I get to present you little sneak peeks as well.

This week’s layout of the week belongs to Carolyn17_4, I love it!

Here is a sneak peek that will be showing up in the store very soon. Leave a comment in the comment section who you think it is and you could win the kit before it’s released!

Good luck,
Megh

Hello, hello. Megh here! I hope you had a great weekend! It was pretty rainy here, so that gave me an excuse to clean the house out a bit. Not too much fun, but productive.

I cannot believe it’s already the end of the month and we have a set of new challenges getting ready to pop in!

HOWEVER!!, there is still time to get those layouts in for the August points.

You also have two more days to get those entries in for our August contest. You could win every store collab. Every $10 you spend in an order, you get 1 entry. If you spend $12, get one entry. Spend $34, get three. Second prize gets 5 collabs, third prize gets 3 collabs. Good luck!

Have a wonderful Monday (I know, those two words rarely go together, but try) and I’ll chat with you later.

What better way to get an amazing desktop and get points towards more scrap merchandise?  Jamie hosts this challenge from the 15th of August until the 15th of September.  She’ll provide the template and you provide the masterpieces!

OK, I am relatively (OK, very new) to digital scrapbooking and am in awe of what is being created.

I’ve been reading the forum and I think I understand most of them.  *smile*

Scrap Mix

You can create a great layout solely by using your birthday!  Very cool!  Here are some layouts using the current scrapmix:

Match A Scrap
Did you know that we have items in the store from different designers that all - match?  They are all on sale until the end of August for just $1.00 each!

Finally - What The Scrap??
Christine (jusme digital) gives you what she calls a ‘micro-mini’ kit twice a month and you show her what you can create with it.  If you want more options, she also has a matching kit in the store where you can get double points.

Here are some layouts from the What the Scrap challenge:

Hi there!  Megh here to tell you about a couple new releases.

Take care,
Megh
