Gotta Pixel Fall Train

2009-09-05T11:47:00.003-05:00

Gotta Pixel is celebrating the turning of the seasons approaching in the northern areas with a HUGE blog train. This weekend, Sept. 5th and 6th you can visit some of your favorite Gotta Pixel Designers listed below to pick up a little treat from each that coordinates with one another to make one fabulous fall collection. Be sure to check back if you don’t see an active link right away, as the designers are each on different time zones and some may have posts up later than others. And if you pick up something you absolutely love, be sure to check in the store here at GP on Sept. 5th- 7th as several of our designers celebrate Labor Day with a great sale on their goodies!

I've made you an add-on to my Autumn Hues kit (don't forget to grab the free Qp in the post from yesterday)

and its the last day to get my Get It All (at PS and GP)

I have a new kit with a free add-on coming out this week. Didn't have time to make a peek so here is the full preview.

Store Closing

2009-08-18T13:35:00.001-05:00

I've decided to leave Pretty Scrappy well this pretty much explains it

That's just an impersonal ad though. It was a really tough decision for me. I know its going to turn out for the better though. I'm going to have more time to design and more time for my family.

So I guess you're wondering what store will be my new home store. Kelly and I are putting the finishing touches on our on store right now :) Plucky Pear should be open by the end of the month!!!

Oh and a bit more good news. A little birdie told me that Polka Dot Plum will be opening soon too :)

Before I go don't forget today's $1.00 Pixel Day!!!

No Girls Allowed !!!

2009-08-14T17:33:00.003-05:00

I have a new kit out!

and of course the matching quickpages

No coupon with this once since I already have it on sale and the quickpages are still free with purchase for a few more days.

Guess what?

I scrapped! I just had to get my boys scrapped with this kit :)

and some inspiration from the Crew

Wendy

Annelies

2009-05-05T13:48:00.002-05:00

I wanted to stop in and thank you all for the support that you have given me. It really brightens my day to read all the wonderful comments you leave! My little designer world went all Topsy-turvey in the last few days. When it got to be too much I would come over to the blog and read all the wonderful words yall left for me. :)

I did get offered a spot at FPD, but I was not able to take it. I did inquire about a guest spot though so maybe I will be able to do that soon :)

To those of you that are looking around for My Secret Garden I took the links down so that I could add it to stores soon.

Hopefully I will be back soon with good news!

A little late is better than never right?

2009-03-23T18:05:00.008-05:00

I had so much fun partying this weekend I forgot to post about it :( The party's over now, but I still have a few things to blog about.

It's Pretty Scrappy's official Birthday and we have an all new look. To celebrate we have over 200 items on sale for $1.00. Go grab those wishlist kits now!

On the subject of getting things while you can I will be retiring 4 of my kits next month. Sandy Daze, Backyard Summer, Rock and Pocket Full of Posies are getting locked up in the fault. (A few of them are a dollar today after that I will have them marked down until they retire)

Can you tell my heads all over the place today? Alex was home all week for Spring Break and I am playing catch up today. It was nice to have him home just not used to it on a constant basis. Have no clue what I will do with him this summer. He's one of those kids that needs to be attached to Mommy's leg 24/7. Not that I don't love him for it just gets slightly annoying at times lol.

Oh what else was I supposed to blog about? My late St. Patty's kit! I finished this on time just couldn't get it uploaded. Its a dollar today then will be on sale all week.

Lucky

Digital Candy has some great stuff going on too :) Check out whats coming soon...

My Kind of Rocket Digital Candy Train

2009-03-17T10:56:00.007-05:00

We had so much fun last month with the Digital Candy train we decided to do it again. This time with an out of this world kit called "My Kind of Rocket"

and here is my part of the kit

Expired

Next stop Monica's Blog

Last Day

2009-03-07T11:34:00.002-06:00

Its the last day for my Get It All, better grab it while it lasts!

Also its the last day for 40% off all my kits at Pretty Scrappy.

So every time I post it slips my mind that I have been wanting to post about this woman. Mandy contacted me about a month ago asking a blog use of my kits. After some emails I found she was designing blogs for a cause, the MS Society. She tells it so much better so I am going to paste from her blog.

"My name is Mandy and I am a scrapbooker whose mom lives with Multiple Sclerosis. Because I'm into design and scrapbooks, I like to make my blogs pretty. And here's the good news - I want to make yours pretty too!

The idea to help others with blog design came a few weeks ago, when I redesigned my own and had a blog-friend ask me how much I would charge to do hers for her.

Because I didn't particularly know what to charge, I told her that if she'd donate to the MS Society my Bike MS ride (you know, the one I wasn't registered for yet), I would do the blog for her. I registered for the ride hastily so I could send her my donation link, and a few days later, here I am, pedaling my services (pun not really intended, but now I'm enjoying it, because who doesn't enjoy a good pun?) for Bike MS donations."

Go over to her blog and check her out !!!

Into The Woods

2009-02-24T11:57:00.002-06:00

It was a very long stressful weekend for me. My poor little niece that had surgery 3 weeks ago has been in and out of the hospital ever since with a multitude of new illnesses. She is currently out again :) and my internet is actually connecting so I am finally getting to post. My laptop uses a different internet then this crappy Hughes Net, but it only works at the kitchen table. Not the most comfortable place to sit for several hours at a time and even in there its more the speed of today's dial up. If any Internet companies are out there listening we country folk need help!!! LOL My area is getting more and more populated so I am crossing my fingers a different service will be out here within a year.

Anyway...guess you would like to see my new kit? Warning its huge at almost 200 MB! I have so many pictures of my family at the cabin in the Smokeys that I just had to make this kit.

Into The Woods 25% off for one week available at Pretty Scrappy, Digital Candy and Divine Digital

and the wonderful quick pages that my Creative Crew helped with. Free with purchase at Pretty Scrappy until 3-3-09

This kit can just be used for so many different layouts. My Creative Crew has some inspiration for you. (so many that I limited it to my favorites but you can see all of them over on the side slideshow)

It's time for the February train with the Blog Train blog! Hehehe that's hard to type. I hope you enjoy all the lovely mini's that make up this huge kit.

...but first I need to remind everyone of my great deals I added this week.

Get It All is only available for a limited time. Here is what some customers had to say about it:
"The $30 Get it All kit is an AMAZING deal! Thank you! All your stuff is wonderful!"

" I absolutely love your kits. Getting them all plus one a month all year is a steal!"

This one is available all year long, but the longer you wait the less kits you get.

Both are available exclusively at Pretty Scrappy.

I hope you enjoy my part of Forever Mine

One Crazy Week

2009-01-31T14:57:00.011-06:00

This has been one crazy week!

My poor 3 year old niece (the one I named my Emmy kit after) had to have surgery twice this week! She had fluid from a bacteria infection get trapped in her hip and they had to drain it and then put in a shunt. She looked soooo pitiful! Broke my heart to see her lying there begging to get the tubes out of her.

On top of that I was behind on getting my Digital Candy store up so I had to rush like mad to get it ready in time. Oh I also organized and did the previews on a huge charity kit ( I will show you as soon as its for sale). The week just kept going and going and I never had a chance to post again. This one will be long to get it all out at once.

Oh before I forget the Blog Train train starts tomorrow. So don't forget to check back tomorrow. I think I am the second on the list :) The link to the blog train blog is under the heading I Love on your right.

I have a new kit up...

XOXO

You can see a few detailed images in the stores. No coupon on this one since I will be having sales in the next couple of weeks :)

30% off on everything at Digital Candy all next week
and
Valentines Weekend Pretty Scrappy is having a sale. (example spend $5.00 get $3.00 free)

Its going to be a great week at Digital Candy!!

Come play with us :)

We have another surprise as well that you will find out about next week.

2 more days until the Pretty Scrappy Love Train!

Here is a sneak peak at the new collab.

Don't forget to come vote at our Quick Page team contest! You can pick up free quick pages only available for one week. :)

With all the running I didn't think I would have time to finish putting the add-on together, but I did :) This freebie will only be available until Monday around noon. Then I will take it down and add it to the store for a buck or 2.

Expired

Gotta run so I might actually see hubby today. Time for me to get unglued from the chair! See you at the train.

Best Deals Ever!

2009-01-27T13:40:00.006-06:00

Oh do I have a deal for you! Check this out..

and for my customers that already own a lot of my products..Kit Club 09

both are available exclusively at Pretty Scrappy

I'm not going to be one of those designers begging for money telling you I cant pay my bills, help me. I will tell you that I am doing both these deals to help out my mom. Her disability check is just not enough since she can't do odd jobs after her last stroke. The mortgage people are breathing down her neck and this is this only way I can financially help her, but hey you get a great deal and my mom gets her house. Sounds like a win win to me :)

I have a few other things to update you on. Its the last days to sign up for the QP Team contest at Pretty Scrappy. I would love to see you join...and win so you can be on my team.

Sign Up Here

I will have another new kit up to show you love birds tomorrow and it comes with a free add-on. Look up at my slide show for the previews :)

I have another Freshly Baked gift for you this time from 2 of my Creative Babes.

Fresh out of the oven...and a coupon

2009-01-25T10:32:00.008-06:00

I have a new kit up in stores today and a few little gifts to go with it. Take a peak at this yummy kit .

If you buy it at Pretty Scrappy you get these for free thanks to my Creative Babes. Just add both items to your cart and the pages will be free.

Also have a coupon for you :) It expires on Feb 7th so move fast!

One more week until the Grand Opening at Digital Candy. Your favorite old designers plus a few new ones and a great new owner! It's going to be a blast!

Hmmm its been awhile since I had a freebie for you so I guess I can dig something up for you. *digging* Oh I have two :) Here's the first one and you can come back tomorrow for the next one.

If you follow by blog you know that when I say I am going to post something tomorrow it will be a few days lol. I always get sidetracked. So about that CU Freebie....

The Charity kit this month at Divine Digital is a great kit about animals all proceeds go to the ASPCA.

Here is a preview of my part. Lots more to see and you can buy it here.

While doing this kit I made a fuzzy doggy ball and I have decided to give it to all of you in hopes that you will go take a look at the charity kit. (Hint Hint) The ball is in PSD format.

I really do swear to come back tomorrow with my Stuffed Stocking Reveal and a holiday freebie. I really mean it this time :)

Happy 2 B Virus Free ( and a Freebie)

2008-12-02T14:41:00.007-06:00

What a week! Pretty Scrappy has been down for almost a week due to errors during a host switch. Then 3 days ago I twisted my ankle pretty bad so I have been hobbling around. On top of all that 2 days ago I got one of the worst viruses I can think of. So I spent the last two days getting rid of that. All back to normal except I lost all of my inboxes in my mail program :( So I missed a few post I wanted to do during all of the chaos and I will be posting a lot over the next few days (including a CU Freebie).

Pretty Scrappy has a new collab kit ready since the store is still down you will have to wait to buy it, but its worth the wait.

As always its time to get on the Train and collect some great pages that match the newest Team Kit.

2 More Days to DSD

2008-10-29T23:53:00.007-05:00

I thought I would show you a preview or two of some of the mini-kits I made for DSD. Are you all as excited about it as I am? This is my first one as a designer and the amount of work going on behind the scenes is amazing!

The first two are for the DST Treasure Hunt. One will be at Pretty Scrappy the other at Divine Digital. I love the colors in this kit! I am going to be hunting all day to get this huge collab.

The next one is for a kit being given away at SFS. (More details soon)

I will be posting lots of details of events happening at my stores on Friday. I am also planning a hunt of my own with 6 picture clues. If you find them all you will have the code for a $7.00 gift card for my kits.

Today's freebie is a mix of pages from a few different kits. Tomorrow I will have a few more pages and if I have time I believe I have a mini-kit somewhere. Then Friday I have an add-on and a whole set of QP's my team did with 2 Cute 2 Spook.

3 More Days to DSD

2008-10-29T09:18:00.006-05:00

It's still yesterday somewhere right? I will do another post today, but I just skipped over this yesterday and I wanted to get it up for you.

2 Cute 2 Spook is still on sale at Pretty Scrappy and SFS until Monday so you better go grab it while its only 3.00. It is also up at Scraphead, but their Spooktacular sale is overriding mine so it is not 3.00.

Today's freebie matches the Featured Kit of the Month at Scraphead which happens to be my Summer Vacation kit. Remember it will only be 2.00 for 3 more days.

Make sure you come back later on today for more freebies :)

4 More Days to DSD

2008-10-27T21:36:00.011-05:00

Its been a long but rewarding day! I finally got my store up at Scrappin FreeStyle :) I did several mini-kits for DSD and well I can't tell you about that yet *wink*.

So have you all heard the we are closing, wait no we aren't drama at 3Scrapateers? I'm kinda just sitting in the back of the room listening but not really getting in the drama part. The only thing I know was last week I was told we were closing and this week we are not. New owners possibly I have no idea I just thought I would bring it up to explain why I currently am not adding kits there. It would be a real pain to upload more if I won't have a position there anymore.

I had a little trouble getting my new kit up at Scraphead today, but since it is time sensitive I will go ahead and announce it. You can still get it at Pretty Scrappy and SFS. Its only 3.00 for this week only too :) If you really want it from Scraphead you will have to wait until tomorrow.

Give me a drum roll please (j/k) Isn't this kit the cutest? Now I am wishing I did some extra previews to show you some of the cool stuff in this kit. A lot of the elements are leather and the doodled webs and things (mostly made with the wonderful Princess Lala's doodles) are really neat. Can still say neat or is that a no no word? LOL

Stay tuned for some Halloween freebies that match this kit on the 31st.

While I was doing today's freebie I realized I never quite unveiled my last bag to you. It had a frame collection and a brown felt alpha that you can find in all my stores but this was the big kit in it.

I did this kit because my son came home last year with a picture of himself in a space suit. I just had to scrap it :) I also made my first hybrid album with this kit. I thought it turned out well.

You can get this kit or the album at any of my stores.

Ok so guess you want another freebie? Well I promised so here you go. Special thanks to my Creative Babes for making these.

What A Week

2008-10-22T12:10:00.012-05:00

Since Saturday everything has just been nuts around here. Saturday afternoon my husband washed the dogs and put Sergeant's Gold flea treatment on them. Hours later they are just pouring drool, shaking, scratching, the list goes on and on. Apparently 1,000's of dogs are affected by some poison in the treatment and in many cases it has lead to death. By then end of the night my poor Lhasa lost most of the use in her back legs. I am still really upset that this product is still on Walmart's shelves, but my dogs got lucky. 4 days later they are mostly back to normal so I finally am getting a chance to post. :)

For the last month or so I have been organizing a charity kit for my dear friend and fellow digi-scrapper. As most of you know Hurricane Ike did some major distruction including the area where Casey (she's the owner of Pretty Scrappy) lives. A large group of designers got together to make a kit in her honor to help her recover from the loss she suffered during the hurricane. This wonderful kit is called New Beginnings. It works perfect for so many layouts new baby, new home, starting over it goes on and on. The kit has 136 Papers, 2 Alphas and 236 Elements for a whopping total of 753 MB ! Here are some previews

Wow that was a lot of previews ! It took me several hours to do those so I had to show off my hard work :)

Speaking of hard work I have added a slideshow to the right column of my blog to show of the hard work my Creative Babes have done. I'm going to add it here too.

Ok one last thing and I am finished for the day's post.

Most of you, my fellow digi-scrappers, know that DSD is only about a week away. I know all the stores I am in are preparing lots of fun things for you and I have something planned too. So to help us all count down the days to DSD check in here at my blog every day for a freebie or two. During the count down you will get tons of QP's, Brag Book Pages and maybe even a mini-kit or two :) So be sure to come back every day for you free gifts!

Sunset Brag Book Blog Train

2008-10-17T23:08:00.010-05:00

Ok so my blogging skills have taken a dive. My only post this month have been blog trains, but hey at least its freebies. :) I promise to do better starting tomorrow.

Casey is back holding the reins at Pretty Scrappy and I have a few wonderful helpers (thank you girls) so maybe I can spare some time to post and make some kits. Speaking of Casey watch out tomorrow for a charity collab in her honor.

So the Pretty Scrappy girls have done it again bigger and better than ever. This new collab is absolutely beautiful and can be used in so many ways. (I used it for a Halloween page) Plus we have an add on it was so huge it wouldn't all fit in one kit so we had to do another large kit to add to it.

Here are the previews

And if you spend 25.00 in the store you get this 44 page QP album.

One more thing before I send you off to the other blogs. We are having two calls at Pretty Scrappy.

One is for the QP team you can choose only collabs or the whole store. You get the kits free and you can make freebies for your blog. To apply please send an email here (creationsbyrachael @prettyscrappy.com make sure to take out the space) with a little about you and a link to your best gallery.

The other is for our CT here is the ad (made with the Sunset kit)

New Kit and Freebies

2008-09-11T07:35:00.009-05:00

Woo-hoo I finally made it with a few freebies. Oh and a new kit. Yay !!!

Well its been up in the stores for a week and I am just now getting in here to show you. I did this kit for all those summer memories of the kids on vacation. Not the trip to the water park, but those fun things that happen at home. This kit is jam packed with loads of goodies. Here are the previews.

You can get it at Pretty Scrappy, Scraphead and DSS

Here is a layout I did with it. The layout is for a white-space challenge so I didn't use to many of the fun elements.

I also added a CU product to the store. I made my Emmy Alphas and Buttons from this and it was so easy.

You can get it at Pretty Scrappy, Scraphead and DSS

That's all I have time for now, but I have some more freebies and a few layouts to show you so see you soon.
