New Release, a challenge and a freebie

I have had a few requests from people to offer my newsletter freebie as a product in my store {apparently some people are against signing up for more e-mail stuff} so… here you go!

If you want to get this free – simply go sign up for my newsletter. But if you prefer to just purchase it – head over here to my store at ScrapMatters!

Like to participate in challenges? I am being featured over at Stamp Something Challenges this month as part of their Digi Day Challenge.  Head over to their blog and check them out. While there be sure to enter their challenge – you might just win a gift certificate from me!  You only have until Thursday to submit your project so you better hurry!  Then upload it to my gallery at ScrapMatters and have a chance at my Reader Challenge as well!

And just because I have a digital stamp for you as well!  It comes with JPG and PNG files.

You can grab it from 4Shared.

Have a great rest of the week, I won’t have a new release this week but be sure to check the blog regularly for tutorials and hybrid tips & tricks from my creative team.

Gallery Spotlight and Reader Challenge Reminder

Do you know this feeling that you have been running and driving around all day and at the end of the day you realize just how many things you did not get done anyways? One of the nicer still on my to-do list was a little 'walk' through Krisi's Gallery at ScrapMatters to pick a project to show to you today.

But first I want to remind you of Krisi's Reader Challenge.
All you have to do for a chance to win a Gift Certificate to her store at ScrapMatters is to upload a hybrid project or layout using Krisi's products to her ScrapMatters Gallery before the end of the month. The winner will be announced here on the blog at the beginning of August.

But now on to the eye candy. Isn't this backpack by tinkay2 pretty? I love the big rosette that she used for the closure.




using Krisi's Jumbo Backpack template



What I love about this Jumbo Backpack template is that it is not only suitable for very small gifts or treats, but that you can fit quite a bit in there as it is printed on two pages of printer paper.

Reader Challenge and a winner!

Happy 4th of July! 

Thanks to everyone who uploaded your projects/layouts to the gallery during the last month – so much great stuff (go see it all for yourself).

The winner of this months Reader Challenge is Kate with this is great project:

Head over and leave her some love!

And here is a look at the template she used:

July is a new month – so be sure to upload all the layouts and projects that you do using my stuff (freebies count too) so that you too can have a chance to win!  Kate will be receiving a $5 gift certificate to spend in my store at ScrapMatters!

New Reader Challenge! ...and somebody is already a winner!

Hi, everyone! This is Rebecca, one of Krisi's CT members, and I'm here to tell you about a fun new feature here on the blog!

Each month, we are going to look through Krisi's Gallery at ScrapMatters, and pick one project to feature here on the blog AND win a gift from Krisi! For June, this contest will run from June 1-30. To be entered, just post any scrapbook page or project that uses one of Krisi's products in her gallery. At the end of the month, one of us CT ladies will check out the gallery and pick the winning project of the month. Easy, right?

Well, even though the contest doesn't officially begin until June, we thought we'd kick things off in style and RAK a project that was posted in May to be the featured project. So, without further ado, here is the May project of the month!!

This super cute page "Time for Cookies" was created by Dolores:

Her page uses the Everyday Metal Alpha. This would be a great addition to your scrap stash!

Congratulations, Dolores! I'll be sending you a PM with your prize soon! Dolores is getting $5 to spend in Krisi's store!

If you want to enter the Reader Challenge for June, here's what you have to do:

1. Create a fabulous page or hybrid project using one of the products from Krisi's Store.

2. Post your project in the Krisi's Kreations Gallery at ScrapMatters.

3. Come back to the blog on July 4 to see next month's featured project and winner!

Happy Creating everyone!
