Buffet Sneak Peek!

Today is the last day of August - I do NOT know where the time has gone! Be sure to stop by Connie's retiring item sale where she has 20 items on for only $1.00 each because after today - POOF! - they'll be gone for ever! Head on over to Gotta Pixel now to grab these great deals.



Since tomorrow is the start of a new month, it is also the start of the Ginger Scraps Buffet! I'll have the full reveal plus CT inspiration right here tomorrow but make sure you mark your calendars because Connie's buffet contribution packs are on sale for only $1.00 BUT only tomorrow and then they go up to $2.00 each. Here's a sneak peek to get you interested:

Hello again everyone! Thanks for stopping by ... I'm sure your anxious to get your hands on the second part of yesterday's FREEBIE hybrid project from Char.

Hybrid Hot Stuff is BACK!

Wait a minute ... it can't be true! Is it really already the end of August? What happened to the summer? Oh my goodness it has flown by. One of the great thing for us digi-scrappers is that we have gorgeous layouts that we can reflect back on to re-live the wonderful adventures that we had with our friends and family this summer!

Today we've got the first in a very special two-part HYBRID PROJECT FREEBIE from Char! You'll be able to download Part 1 today and you'll need to stop back here tomorrow for Part 2. Char has put together a gorgeous travel journal to help you capture all of those summer vacations before the memories start to fade. She used Connie's wonderful GLOBETROTTERS collection which you can find at any of the following store links:


Here's a preview of the finished product from both parts of this great project!





See you back here tomorrow for Part 2!

You'll be HEAD OVER HEELS for this kit!

The weekend is here and I am planning to somehow squeeze in some scrappin' time. How about you? If you're looking for a new kit to give your mojo a boost, how about spending only $1.00 to grab one of Connie's retiring kits?

Today I'm highlighting the simple beauty of HEAD OVER HEELS. I hope you like this cluster frame! (Thanks again to Tamara for doing such a great job teaching the Art of Clustering Workshop at Gotta Pixel and helping me find my inner cluster queen!).

Retiring Product Sale - Going, Going Gone!

Time is running out, folks! Connie has 20 great products that are now on sale for only $1.00 each BUT the catch is that you've got to grab them by August 31 before they disappear forever!! This is a super time to stock up on templates (yum yum!) or kits (so sweet!). And don't forget to combine these great dollar deals with Connie's generous August coupons:

Use Coupon Code: cap_aug5 to save $1 off orders of $5 or more.
Use Coupon Code: cap_aug10 to save $2 off orders of $10 or more.
Use Coupon Code: cap_aug15 to save $3 off orders of $15 or more.
Use Coupon Code: cap_aug20 to save $4 off orders of $20 or more.
Use Coupon Code: cap_aug25 to save $5 off orders of $25 or more.

You could pick up FIVE great template packs for only $4.00 using the retiring sale and the first coupon noted above! That means 20 templates for $4.00 or only 20 cents per template - this is crazy!! (And by "crazy" I mean irresistible so get on over to Gotta Pixel and get your shop on!)



I know that I talked about YOUR SWEETNESS IS MY WEAKNESS last week BUT I have to go back to it again because I love, love, love the colours. I've got a matching cluster frame freebie for you today just because I like this kit and YOU so very much! Hope you like it.

Cluster crazy!

I have to admit that I've gone cluster crazy this weekend - yep, you read right. I've been taking one of the Gotta Pixel workshops - THE ART OF CLUSTERING with Tamara - and I've learned so much that I just want to practice all the time! I used to be so afraid of using leaves, branches and other "real" items in a layout because they would never look right for me ... but, now, I'm much more comfortable in my clustering ability! If you'd like to learn more about clustering from a true master of the craft, be sure to sign up for Tamara's September workshop series at Gotta Pixel. There are three September workshops in total and you can sign up for full access or study along access.

All of these preamble is leading up to something ... can you guess? How about a cluster FREEBIE that I made during my practice sessions this weekend? I figure that you can expect to see more of these from me now that I have found my cluster groove! For today's cluster, I used Connie's super STRAWBERRY LEMONADE kit that you can find at any of the following store links:

Even more TEMPLATETOPIA!

Happy Saturday everyone! Shari here to kick off your weekend with you - it is going to be a busy one for my family. My husband and I work at the same place (across the hall from one another actually!) and today we are holding a BBQ for all of the staff who work for us and our families. It is going to be lots of fun but also tiring for sure! It is also my hubby's 34th birthday today but we are officially celebrating tomorrow. Well, I guess it isn't an "official" celebration since he says he doesn't want a birthday party - just a family get together with cake and presents! MEN! Sigh.

In any event, I am definitely going to be taking lots of pictures this weekend - my only problem will be carving out time to scrap them! I'm feeling really into double-page templates right now - not sure why because they take me WAY longer than two standard individual pages would take combined BUT they've tickled my mojo so I'm rolling with it!

Thus, you can imagine my excitement when I found a super two-page template as part of this month's great TEMPLATETOPIA by Connie and Trixie Scraps. These ladies must have been reading my mind! All of the templates in this great (and cheap!) collection are super ... here's a preview and some CT inspiration to get YOUR mojo into gear:




And if you've got templates, you need kits ... Connie's got you covered there too! Check out her retiring item sale at Gotta Pixel where you can find plenty of goodies for only $1.00 for the rest of this month! Today's freebie highlights one of these super finds - YOUR SWEETNESS IS MY WEAKNESS. Hope you like it!

TEMPLATETOPIA is back!

YAHOO! Everyone's favourite template grab bag is BACK! That's right - Connie Prince has teamed up once again with Tracy of Trixie Scraps to bring you another edition of Templatetopia. Best template deal in the business - 16 templates for only $3.99!! Forget about deal - this is a STEAL!

You can pick up August 2011 Templatetopia starting today at the following store links:




To inspire you today, we've got a special treat ... a whole set of layouts made by our ninja herself ... CONNIE PRINCE! Check out these beauties - what a talented lady!



Also notable this week is the expanded release of Connie's BIG NEWS collection into all of her stores PLUS a new cluster pack put together by the fabulous Tamara.




A couple of special notes for you today ...

Tonight's speed scrap at Gotta Pixel has been cancelled but Connie will be back with you next Friday night at 8pm EDT for more fun and friends!!

Remember that Connie's Retiring Product Sale is still going strong over at Gotta Pixel. She has put 20 super products on sale for only $1.00 each but HURRY because as of August 31 they'll all be gone for good!

Finally, an apology for no freebie today. It is now 9:00pm last night (smile!) and I'm plum exhausted. My freebie mojo has gone to sleep for the night and the rest of me isn't going to far behind. Can I make it up to you this weekend? Pretty please?

Connie goodies + retiring product sale = PERFECT PEAR!

Happy Thursday everyone! Shari with you here again today - though admittedly I am feeling a little less perky and a little more tired than usual. I work at a university in Canada and, as you can imagine, this is a crazy busy time for my staff and I! The sad thing is that I don't seem to have as much time or energy for my digi-scrapping addiction ... errr ... hobby. :)

Today I'm going to feature another great kit from Connie's Retiring Product Sale going on now at Gotta Pixel. Check out all 20 great $1.00 deals that you can pick up between now and August 31!


Today's featured kit is A PERFECT PEAR. I love this kit - the orange is so vibrant! I'm working on a layout now and I'm loving how the colours are working together to really make my photos pop. Grab the full kit for only $1.00 and be sure to pick up this matching alpha freebie too!
