Sneak Peek Sunday!

UPDATE 12/3/15:  The winner of the Grab Bag - Tinsel Town - is a first time visitor!!  NancyP.  Congratulations, Nancy!  We're glad to have you visiting and playing along. 


It was really interesting to hear the variances across the country about snow.  I'm sure you all want to know last week's winner:  Congratulations to:  kaw5038@cableone.net

Thanksgiving is over. We had a marvelous two days of turkey and ham.  Chrissy made a Turkey Roulade that was delectable!  And now... thoughts are turning to Christmas!  

Speaking of Christmas, it looks as if this upcoming release just might be a Christmas kit!!  What do you all think?

There a couple of rules you need to know.

1. All comments are to be placed ON THIS POST  by Wednesday evening at 10:00 PM Eastern time. That would be December 2nd. 
2. You MUST INCLUDE an email address where we can reach you in case you win. Should you fail to include an email address, I will not include your name in the random drawing.  Thanks for all those email addresses last week.  Most appreciated!!  
3. On weeks where multiple products are released, you need only enter your name once. You will automatically be placed in both random drawings to win. 

I know everyone is concerned about junk mail and spam.  Feel free to enter your emails in the following fashion:  coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com      Use parenthesis and words in place of the usual signs. If I don't see an email address, I do click on the name. If you have an "email me" set up, I can still include you in the drawing.  If there is no email in the comment or when I click on your name, I regret that you won't be in the drawing. We must have some way to get ahold of the winner!!

I will send the winner their coupon as soon as possible after the drawing so they can go shopping on Thursday - release day. I will also update this post with the winner for those who want to check. Or feel free to drop me an email. I don't mind hearing from you ladies one bit. :)

Definitely a keeper in my stash!  So many possibilities with this kit!!  I hate to make this a short hit and run post but this time of year finds me meeting myself coming and going.  I’ll be back tomorrow with a few more amazing layouts by Connie’s team to share with you!

Today’s freebie is a neat quick page by Deanna using Puzzled.  I think I missed picking up this kit and now I’m kicking myself.  It’s going on my wish list for sure!  Family game night is making it’s come back at our house now that football season has wrapped up.  My 6 year old plays a mean game of Monopoly and no, we don’t let her win, she’s got this system down and somehow manages to always have more money than the rest of us at the end of the game!  I definitely want to scrap that memory for her to look back on.  Enjoy using this quick page to document your favorite “game” memory.

Have a terrific Thursday!!!

We're changing things up a bit this week!!

Is everyone getting in the holiday spirit?? I know I am.  I keep watching all the elf antics on Facebook and I've decided.. I NEED an elf!! Or two.

Connie is working on another participation prize for the Mousescrapper Challenge I will be hosting starting on Dec. 18th and running right through the end of December.  Holidays can get a little slower so the challenge will run two weeks. Might want to mark your calendars and then pop on over for some fun.

About layouts..  I do know that not everyone has been to Disney. However.. if you want to participate in a MouseScrapper Challenge or a Layout Challenge here, I am more than happy to share some Disney photos. I actually do have some that don't have my family in them!!  All you need to do is drop me a quick note and I will be happy to upload some for you to pick from. Deal??  Don't let the lack of a photo or two stop you from playing along with us!!

In the spirit of Christmas, I would love to give you all a freebie.   Click on the image and your download should start up right away. This is a png file saved at 300 dpi.  And yes, my file does have a shadow.

*rubs her hands together* So.. you probably all think we're going to play Hidden Elements again. We will. Just not this week.  I thought we would change this up a little.  Connie has so many lovely Christmas holiday kits. So I did a little "mash up".   I used six (6) different kits to create this week's layout.  Your mission..... identify at least four (4) of those kits.  So there is one clue. All of the kits are Christmas holiday kits.  Second clue: All six (6) of the kits I used are currently available in Connie's store at GingerScraps.   Everyone that plays along with me will receive a $1 coupon at Connie's store.  Send me the correct answers and you will be entered into a drawing in the randomizer and one lucky duck will receive a $10 coupon.  Before you ask, I do know how many pages there are in Connie's store at GingerScraps! I went through all 119 of them to find kits for this post.   And put a few more items on my Wish List there!  One being the Year In Review - Monthly Temps which I would love to share with you all today!

I can see this making a lovely keepsake for a year. Or, change it up just a bit and use it for a vacation! Maybe I vacation to Disney. :)  Anyhow... it's $4.89 at GingerScraps.  And it's on my wish list!!   When you email me those answers, I'd love to hear about any other kits you fell in love with.  Just maybe I will see if we can have a little extra drawing for someone's wish kit!  I daresay you'll find at least one looking for the answers.  So... here's the layout. 

Yes. It was rather chilly in Florida that year. So I used one of Connie's little scarf elements to spruce up my Mickey Hoodie.   You may wonder where all the people are!! It's called Magic Hours.  Stay at a Disney Resort and you can take advantage of the Magic Hours.  Some days, one park will open an hour early, some days, one park stays open an extra two hours later.  Magic Hours rotate through the four different parks.  Joe and I are here in Magic Kingdom, walking down Main Street during Magic Hours.  That's the tree at Town Square, just inside the entrance.  If you love Christmas, you'll love Disney at Christmas time.  So many trees and decorations.  The lights!  Even the fireworks and parades are all spruced up for the season.  Take a moment to check out The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Hollywood Studios. It is AWESOME!

Just to make things easier for you, you can click on the layout image and a full size 300 dpi image will come your way.  That will make it a little easier to see the different elements and papers.  So, to recap, you need to email me at coyotelady(at)gmail.com at least four (4) of the (6) six kits that I used to create my layout.  One last clue: each is a kit. No add ons were used in the creation of my layout!

Good luck!!  And don't forget to include the name of a kit you fell in love with along your journey.  Please have your answers emailed no later than Friday, Dec. 13th at 8 PM EST.  

Until next week...  

Updated to correct missing link on the layout! Sorry about that. 

UPDATED CLUSTER FILE AND RELOADED IT.
