Plus, I heard through the grapevine that this may be the kit used in the QP exchange over at STS in July...soooo...if you go get it for cheap now and submit a QP, you'll get a ton of them back for easy scrapping in this awesome color palatte! Wow!

Just click on the preview to head over to the store to purchase it!

I was just browsing the STS Blog and realized on Saturday they featured a layout I did for a speed scrap a couple weeks ago. Huh. That's pretty cool! :) Thanks for the recognition guys!

Speed Scrap This Weekend!

STS is having another speed scrap this weekend! Here are all the details you need to know:
I am bummed because I am probably going to miss this one by picking up my son from grandma's...maybe we will make it back to town and he'll be so tired he'll just crash...
Here's hopin'!

$2 Tuesdays AND a huge sale!

Okay, now you can be sure they've gone crazy. Not only are the designers at STS offering the great sale this weekend (see flyer below for details), but they are also starting a perpetual sale where each designer puts a different kit into the $2 bin every Tuesday and it remains there for a whole week! That means that starting Friday and ending Sunday, you can get this kit by The Scrappy Kat (normally $3.99, in the $2 bin this week, plus the additional 30% off) for $1.40! Holy Cow! And each designer has something in the bin, so head over to the store to check it out! Just click on any of the flyers below to head to the $2 bin, but don't be afraid to browse the rest of the store too. There are some great deals!

I'm a Wiener! ;)

Kat, one of my designers and Amber, a fellow CT both honored me with this award! They are both super-fabulous scrappers, so needless to say, I'm feelin' pretty special right now! Wow! Thanks guys! :) You both rock! Here's the award:
And here are the rules for this award:

1. Put the award on your blog.
2. Include a link to the person who gave you the award.
3. Nominate 7 or more blogs (always hard to do)
4. Leave a message on their blog letting them know they have an award on your blog.

So...here's who I choose:
Jen, this girl is a layout queen; I cannot believe how on top of them she is. Truely astounding!
Shelby, a little preoccupied right now with pregnancy, but deserving of the award! She was the first designer I CT'd for and changes the look of her blog on a regular basis! Always fun to see what she has up (including cool polls for what kinds of designs you want to see next) and what she's coming out with!
Cheri, another fellow CT, who started designing and has some great kits coming out ~ they just keep getting better and better, so check out her blog...they're free for a week (and then only $1)!

I'm not sure if it's cool to nominate the person who nominated you, but I really love both of these girls' blogs, so:
Amber, I am constantly impressed by the layouts she comes up with - what an inspiration! And she does it all with a son the same age as mine...I just can't find that much time in a day ~ my hat goes off to you! :)
Kat, she's always got so many cool things coming out and her blog is just darling!

And finally, just to be different, I thought I'd do two friends who are not scrappers, but whose blogs I like anyway! :)

Well, never fear, The Scrappy Kat is coming out with a super-cute kit this week and she's letting me give something very special to you on Friday!

I thought the ruffles and girly boots fit the kit perfectly! But, you don't have to have a little cowgirl in your life to use this. Check out Kat's blog for some other awesome ideas from her CT.
