Afternoon Speed Scrap this Thursday

There's a speed scrap tomorrow afternoon! Hope you can make it!

Happy Birthday STS! Freebie cluster for you!

It's birthday time at Stuff to Scrap! Can you believe it's been three years?! I feel pretty lucky to have gotten to know all the great gals here at STS right after I started scrapping a few years ago. This past weekend, I got to meet several of them AND had a weekend away from the kiddos where I actually got some scrapping done! :) Woohoo!

We've got some great things planned for you all month long, so be sure to block out lots of scrapping time this month. I've been going through scrap-withdrawl the past couple months as real life got in the way, so I'm looking forward to ditching the boys with the hubby and getting in on some of these events...hope he doesn't keep up with this blog and read that, lol!

Each year, the designers all get together to create a fun new birthday-themed kit that our forum members get for free on their birthdays. Have you seen this year's kit yet? It's called "Sweet Birthday Surprise" and I just love the colors! Not too gender or age specific and soooo many fun papers and elements to work with! Check it out:

This year, as an extra little birthday surprise for you all, we are going to have freebies for you from different designers each day all month long. Today, I have a little cluster frame. Just click on the preview below for a direct download:

Hope you enjoy!

Mythical Majesty - New Kit from The Scrappy Kat

Wow! What a fantastic weekend! I'm in recovery from the awesome Digi-Retreat this weekend in Chicago. If you weren't able to go, we definitely missed you and you should check out the forum here to give us your input on where we should go next year.

I learned SO much and was even able to get some scrapping done, something I've been missing lately.

One of the great kits for the attendees was The Scrappy Kat's Mythical Majesty. I got to work with it about a month ago, but if you didn't get it when it first went into the store or at the retreat, you should grab it today...it's in the $2 Tuesday bin! It's a bit of a change for both Kat to design and me to work with, but I just love the dark, but sweet feel to it!

 
Here's a layout I made of my sweet "baby" sister from way back:


 

And if you missed it before, you can still pick up the Quick Page I made with it:

Hello May!

Check out all the fantastic first-of-month stuff going on over at Stuff to Scrap (and don't forget about our big birthday bash and lots of freebies all month long!)

First up, there's a new Stuff to Scrap Designer Collab in the store, My Girl!

And remember, if you purchase it the first week of its release, you get the quick pages for free!

Also, with any $5 purchase from May 1-15th, you get PB&J Mini by This Little Missy for free!

The Stuff to Scrap Designers also have a new and cute May Build-a-Kit series for you! Buy several kits and make your own custom kit! Save big when you purchase 3 or more packs!

There's a new CU Grab Bag in the stores as well and it's perfect for all your vacation kit needs!

Also, being the first of the month, there's a new Road Trip! Head on over to the STS blog to get the party started!

Sunday Evening Speed Scrap

B2N2 Scraps is hosting a speed scrap tomorrow, Sunday, April 29th in the STS forum.  Make sure to come out and join in the fun!  There's a great participation prize too!  Hope to see you there.

While the Cat's Away...

… the mice will play!

I've just arrived in Chicago for the first annual Stuff to Scrap Scrapalicious Digi-retreat and while it's taking place, the whole store will be 35% off! So fill up those carts & check out before Saturday, April 28th at 11:59 PM.

And if you couldn’t make it to this year’s retreat, we’re already looking into where to have the retreat next year, head over to this thread to help think of a great place to have the 2013 retreat!

 

P.S. I'm super-excited about a whole weekend of kid-free scrapping, so I should have some long-overdue kits to share with you soon too. :)
