DSD Sale & Scrap’n’Chat!

It’s the first weekend of November, and that means it is once again time to celebrate Digital Scrapbooking Day (DSD)! I am putting my entire shop on sale for 40% off all weekend for DSD—November 4-6—including this brand new pack of Holiday Letters Template:

Get these four fabulous templates, each 8 1/2 x 11 inches, to get a jump-start on your holiday letters! Add your own photos, papers, and embellishments for a beautiful letter to print and send to everyone on your holiday mailing list. And they are a steal at just $1.50 for the entire pack this weekend!

Here’s a sample letter created with Letter #1 and my Shimmering Summer kit:

Want to try out one of these templates? Then join me Friday evening, 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern, for my monthly first Friday Scrap’n’Chat at GingerScraps! We will have a great time as always, chatting and scrapping for an hour. I will have a *free* template to share and a participation prize for all who post their scrapped letter by the deadline (Saturday morning). Get the details: Scrap’n’Chat with Cari

If you aren’t into using templates or just can’t use them in your scrapping program, please don’t let that stop you from joining in! I will post a scrapping “recipe” based on the template to help you get your holiday letter scrapped! Smile

Here are just a few of the products you will find at 40% off November 4-6 for DSD:

… and much more in my shop!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings to you!

Spring Fling + Luminesce.Lavender + $1 Bake Sale + more!

I am sure loving that Spring is here, how about you all? We still have a fair bit of snow in our yard, and a 6-foot berm at the end of our driveway will certainly be with us for a while, and we even received some light snowfall this past week, yet Spring is definitely in the air! We are seeing our bird population rising again at the feeders, I heard the frogs croaking out their greetings this morning, and I even ran around in short pants doing some garden chores this week! Granted, it was only barely 50 degrees out, so I had on a big quilted flannel workshirt, but hey, it was great!

Gee, I have so much wonderful news for you all today, and I am really excited, so let’s get started, shall we?

First, we have a brand new treat at GingerScraps for our wonderful, loyal forum members: the GingerScraps Welcome Wagon!

Today may be April Fool’s Day, but I’m not “fooling” at all when I say I have some marvelous items in the $1 Bake Sale for TODAY only! Hustle on over and grab my MaskIt: New Year {photo masks} or any of my Storyboards Template packs all at just ONE DOLLAR each!

*NEW* Release: This week I have the latest addition to my Luminesce line available in my shop – Luminesce.Lavender!

Luminesce.Lavender {the kit} – Sale Price: $3.15

Contains: 12 papers + 50 elements + 1 alpha

Individual packs are also available:

And here’s some Lavender inspiration:

I also have a fun little mini pack to help you all kick off spring! This was the participation prize I gave out for all who took part in the March Color Challenge at GingerScraps. If you missed the challenge, you can still grab this mini now at a great price.

Spring Fling {the mini} – Sale Price: $1.95

Speaking of the monthly Color Challenge, if you missed out on it in March, we’d love to have you come join in for April! I am hosting this fun challenge again this month, and will be giving out a sweet little participation prize at the end of the month. Plus, those who give it a try also go into the monthly Challenges drawing for the chance to win a $5 gift certificate to GingerScraps!

One last thing before I go … I want to invite you all to join me tonight for my monthly Speed Scrap’n’Chat at GingerScraps. We’ve had a lot of fun in the chatroom on the first Friday of every month, and we’ve even gotten some scrapping done! Open-mouthed smile I always have a fun participation prize for all who finish & post a layout in time, so come join in! I also want to let you know that starting this month I am holding *two* Speed Scrap’n’Chats each month – here’s the schedule:
