Speed Scrap!!!

I am getting so excited because it's almost here. What's that, you ask? Our FIRST EVER Speed Scrap at TrixieScraps.com! We are giddy with excitement and we cannot WAIT to hang out with everyone for an hour tomorrow night. It starts at 9pm EST in the Chat Room here on our site. You can use this timezone converter to figure out what time it is in your region when it is 9pm EST! Best of all? Every attendee who submits their layout will receive a beautiful pack of quickpages made from this month's DST Gold Member kit, Natural Beauty!

So, are you new to the concept of Speed Scrapping? Want to know what it is? No Problem! Basically, a speed scrap is like a live challenge. During the hour-long chat, I will issue one "step" or instruction every 10 minutes. You can work on your layout while you chat, or just jot down the steps and work on it later so you can concentrate on the fun part - chatting!! At the end of the hour, the chat will end and everyone will be given a few hours to finish up their layout and post it in the TS.com gallery. And then everyone who submits their layout on time will get the participation prize featured above for free! It's a fun way to spend an hour, plus the speed scrap steps will help you create a page you will love, too!

I'm really looking forward to hanging out with you all and hope we have a bunch of people in attendance. See you tomorrow night!

Being on a Creative Team

As many of you know, I'm a digiscrap nut.

I have been digi-scrapping for almost 4 years now!

For 3 of those years I've been on Trixie Scraps creative team, and for almost all of that, I've been her Creative Team lead.

That means I, um, motivate, the team.

Really, I'm just the "Queen of Mischief" there.

*smiles*

This is my second family.

I love it.

Some of us have even gotten together in real life.

Face to face!

Now, THAT was a good time!!!!

Moving along.....

That's why I really want any of you digi-scrapping people to get on board with Trixie's latest contest.

She's opened up the opportunity to become a guest on her team.

To see what our crazy family is like.

Let me just tell you, some of the best CT members were once guests on our team.

I'm not guaranteeing anything.

But I am just sayin'.

So here is what you need to do in order to become a guest.

I really hope that you are able to join us!

You will LOVE it!

And if you don't digi-scrap, or for some crazy reason you don't want to join us, it's okay, but could you at least click the image to go vote for last weeks entrants?

Thanks.

You're a gem.

xoxo

Love of a Lifetime

Life has been set on crazy mode all month and it's trickled into October.

My poor blog is neglected to say the least!!! :( But hopefully I fall into a rhythm soon....Between work, home, and a course through my church, I'm booked solid most days!

Moving along, Trixie Scraps has been BUSY this month!! You should check out her blog for all the goodies and freebies she's got going on over there. I think this week alone there has been 4! :D

Last week Trixie released "Love of a Lifetime" as part of Gotta Pixel's Gotta Grab It event. This week all of those items are on sale individually for 30% off until the end of the month. But, she also bundled all five of the Love of a Lifetime products together and you can save over 50% off the regular price of these items when you "buy them together!"



The full kit includes 28 papers, 40 elements, and 1 alpha
The template pack includes four 12x12 page templates in PSD, TIF and PNG format
The quickpage album includes six 12x12 quickpages in PNG format
The element cluster pack includes eight amazing pre-shadowed frame, border and element clusters in PNG format
The wordart pack includes six pre-shadowed wordart clusters in PNG format

There are two bundle options, too!!
Buy the kit, templates and element cluster bundle for just $7.99
Or, for less than $2 more, use the "buy together" option on the bundle product page and get the quickpages and wordart, too!

It's quite the steal to be honest :)

Here is what I did with this bundle:





Thanks for checking in! Happy Scrapping!t
