Witch's Brew Cyber Crop: October 5th-7th!

"Witch's Brew" Crop is crawling up on us quickly! Don't forget to mark your calendars for our spooky crop scheduled 10/5 through 10/7. Pre-crop challenges will start on 10/3!

We've got some fun challenges, games, lots of chatting and some of the best prizes out there! We'd love to have you join us for some bewitchingly cool fun and lots of cropping!

For more details, please visit our Message Board under the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking Crops Section.

It's a Crop @ Couture Scrapbooking!!!

Join us on Saturday, September 29th all day for a Scrap Pink Crop! We will be hosting challenges and giving tons of prizes away! Kind of hard to charge for a virtual crop so we decided to take donations and Couture will match the donations given!

Also all sales made at the start of the crop till the end of the month couture will also donate 5% of the sale. Stay tuned for more details and look for a scrap pink section at our store where you can purchase special items! We will be giving you a sneak peek at an EXCLUSIVE Clear Album Pink Kit from PageFrame Designs and others!

We want to contribute to this organization so that we can help in finding a cure! All participation is greatly appreciated and we look forward to doing more fundraising for other causes that require our help to make a difference! We hope to see you there and thanks in advance for all of your support!

I can finally toot about this, and am so excited to do so!!!

A couple of months ago, I was presented with an opportunity to be an indefinite Guest Designer for the Dude Designs online gallery. A VERY good friend of mine, Leah (my Synergy Sista, hehe) filled me in on the rest.

After a few days and several emails back and forth with Missy (of Dude Designs), I received an awesome box full of all of their paper lines. FUN STUFF!!!

I was notified by Missy yesterday, that the online gallery was up and running. Off I went to check it out, and I must say, it looks GREAT!!
