Digital Scrapbooking Giveaway and Kit Winners

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and has enjoyed their time with family and friends. This is will be a short post to pass along the information on the kit giveaway at Digital Scrapbooking Giveaway blog and to announce the winners of my blog post from Christmas. Yeah!

First off, you have an opportunity to start entering your name today for the Merry and Bright giveaway at Digital Scrapbooking Giveaway blog. Simply follow this link over to their blog and read the instructions contained in the blog post. Easy!

Now on to our winners. I assigned each one of you a number in order of your posting and then I ran a list generator to put the numbers into a random order and selected the number 1 and number 2 spots as our winners. I took out Rose's comment because she's on my CT and already owns both of these kits and I took out one comment that was a continuation of the original so this person only received 1 entry. Whew, sometimes it gets complicated. Anyway, the winners are Holly and Becky Roy. Congratulations! In order to claim your free kit, I need you to contact me so that I can send you a store coupon for a kit of your choice ($5.00 value). You can either use the Contact Me button under my header above or email me at kl.winters@yahoo.com.

Good luck with your entry at Digital Scrapbooking Giveaway blog!

Merry Xmas To My Followers

I can hardly believe that Christmas is almost here and the year is about to come to an end. This year has been filled with many new experiences and some serious challenges but somehow, I managed to get through it all. At times, I didn't think I would, then something cool would happen, I would receive a nice email from someone or a comment here on my blog thanking me for my generosity, which really lifted my spirits. So I thank all those that took the time to reach out to me, I can't even tell you how much it has meant to me as I have struggled to deal with the stress of the last part of this year. Despite everything, I remain positive and am looking forward to spending time with my family and friends this holiday season. I have much to be thankful for and one of the things I'm most thankful for is my followers so this post is just for you.

I posted a message about a RAK I have at Scrapable for two opportunities to win one of my new Christmas kits but since that posting was associated with Scrapable, I want to do something special for my followers so I'm creating another RAK here on my blog. So here are the details. Most of you will receive this blog post through your Feedburner link in your mailbox. After you have read the email, simply visit my blog and post a comment to this message. It can be anything you want. Like a Christmas greeting to everyone, a funny Christmas story, a thank you, whatever you want to say or share. I will come back on Sunday, December 27th and choose two people at random to receive a store coupon for a kit of your choice ($5.00 value). I will also have some information to pass along about the Merry and Bright giveaway at Digital Scrapbooking Giveaway Blog.

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you much love and happiness this holiday season.

RAK and a Freebie

Whew! My hubby and I made the mistake of running out at around lunch time yesterday to run some errands and use a gift card we had for the Olive Garden and boy was that a mistake. I don't know what I was thinking but the stores where packed and the traffic was awful but I have to say that our lunch at the Olive Garden made up for all. Yummy Lasagna, Breadsticks and Salad will put anyone in a great mood. So since I'm in a great mood I have a couple of things to pass along to you.

First, one of my lovely and talented CT members, Jackie had fun playing around with the Merry & Bright kit yesterday and she made some really adorable gift tags. Here are some pictures of this easy little project. You simply print them out onto a piece of paper, I would suggest some cardstock, cut them out, put a hole punch in the corner and add a festive string or pretty ribbon to hang from your package. Of course, you can always tape them to a present but festive string adds a little glitz. Don't you think!

See what I mean, how cute are these!Jackie is offering them on her blog as a freebie so if you would like to put together this fun little project, stop by and say Hi and leave her a little love. Jackie's blog is here.

Okay, now I have something else for you also but it requires a little participation on your part. I have created a RAK in the forum at Scrapable. You can find it here. If you stop by and show us a picture or a layout containing your Christmas Tree, I will pick two random people to receive either the Old-Fashioned Holiday kit or Merry and Bright (your choice). Because I want to give everyone a chance to play, I will wait until Christmas Eve to announce the winners. Sound like fun? I'm off to create my layout now to show you my Christmas Tree.

New kit Merry & Bright and a freebie

Is everyone ready for Christmas? I'm not, I've been spending too much time on the computer and now my window of opportunity is starting to close around me. Only 1 week to go and so much to do. At least, I got my Christmas cards out early this year. Do you want to see it? We decided to skip the family photo this year, which always included the dogs and go for something more traditional. So I used my "Old-Fashioned Holiday" kit to create this card.

Front cover:
Inside versus:So you want to know what I've been working on. Well, I have a really fun kit hitting the store today that I think you are really going to love and I've created a special offer to enable you to receive a coordinating Doodle Alpha for free. Here is the full preview of the kit and papers:

And the coordinating Doodle Alpha:

For a limited time, you can get the Doodle Alpha for free when you purchase the full kit.

Now, let me show you these gorgeous layouts that a few of my creative team whipped up. They are the best! I didn't give them this kit until Wednesday night but they eagerly jumped in and started playing. Thank you ladies! I am truly blessed to have six wonderfully talented ladies as part of my team.

Did you catch the Quick Page I mixed in with the layouts above? Here's a bigger preview. If you like it, you can click on the image to download. Have a great weekend everyone. DigiFree

Old-Fashioned Holiday QP

I have an assignment and a free quick page for you tonight. First, your assignment. My creative team has nominated me for a free quest spot at Digital Scraps Giveaway. This is a fairly new website that gives you an opportunity to receive free designer kits by entering drawings and gives me an opportunity for some free advertising. So I need 25 comments posted at this link in order to bring you a free full kit sometime in the very near future. So go off and vote for me. While you are there, today's blog post contains information on 3 active giveaways that you can register for so check them out here.

Now on to tonight's freebie, which is a quick page created with my new kit "An Old-Fashioned Holiday." I still have this kit marked down by 25% so if you didn't get a chance to snag it over the weekend, it will be on sale through Tuesday evening. DigiFree

New Kit And A Matching Freebie

Boy, is it cold here in Michigan! You would think it was the middle of January, which gives me a bad feeling about the rest of the winter. We've barely recovered from last winter and we had a cool summer so it feels like we never really warmed up. My hands and fingers are like little popsicle as I type this message and my husband doesn't seem to appreciate when I slip my hands under his shirt for a little warmth. I can't image why? Hee Hee ;-)

Anyway on to my new release and that freebie I mentioned. An Old-Fashioned Holiday is now in the store and it was such a fun kit to put together. As always, it will be 25% off through the weekend, which means you can pick it up for only $3.75.
Need some inspiration? Here's what my creative team has been up to with this kit.

And here is a matching wordart that coordinates with the kit and papers. Have a great weekend and stay warm! DigiFree

Wipe Out Wednesday

Is everyone enjoying the Holiday Sugar Cookie Blog Train? With 100 stops, I can imagine that it takes a long time to get through but from what I saw, it's worth it. If you're here for my part, it's one post down. Also, today is Wipe Out Wednesday and I added a few things to the category, which means you can pick them up for $1.00 today only. I have a new kit coming out next week with an old-fashioned Christmas theme. Here's a sneak peak. Have great day and enjoy the rest of your train ride.
