While We Were Away....

While We Were Away...

The Scrappity-Doo-Dah designers and team members were cooking up something special for you!

The whole team at SDD appreciates all our customers, and our whole team want to thank you for your continued patience - both in the time that we were down and our migration over to a new, more (ahem) reliable host. We hope that this blog hop will make up for it!

More than 15 of the designers and some of the CT, Love Birds, and Moderators of SDD have come together to bring you this huge kit - While We Were Away. We know you missed us while we were away and we missed you too!

If you take all of the stops of the blog hop you will end up with a huge, beautiful kit that you will be able to scrap almost anything with. You'll also receive a ton of quickpages, courtesy of our Creative Team, Love Birds, and Moderators!

First I want to take a moment to tell you that a ton of designers have sales and specials going on this weekend to make up for the downtime. Be sure to check all of them out this weekend!

 

My 43rd birthday was on Wed, the 19th so that's why my sale is for 43% off now thru Sunday.  :)

Please understand - SDD will be going through a host move throughout the weekend and possibly into the week still. If the store does happen to be down, be patient and try again later. We may experience some downtime during the move, but rest assured if there is, we will try to fix it ASAP!

And now on to the blog hop!

Here's what you'll be receiving from me today!

 

And don't forget to stop at the next blog to grab your next piece. You should have come from (last blog link) and your next stop will be (next blog link). If you get lost, you can find all the blogs right here:

FREEBIE time

Thanks so much to everyone who visited my blog at the beginning of the month for the huge mega Summer Surprises blog train! It looks like many many scrappers snagged my mini contribution. YAY! I am leaving this up for you to snag whenever if you haven't already grabbed it.

I have a few old blog train contributions that are still available for you.  You just need to search them out to find the other 4 or 5.  

Also, if you haven't noticed or read what's going on in lots of digiscrap-land ... many sites are down due to some breach with the host, including Scrappity-doo-dah.  We've all been down for over 3 days.  UCwebHost says they are working on getting it fixed.  Hopefully it won't be too much longer.  I know SDD is planning lots of fun for everyone when we get live again. 
SDD's Facebook fan page, as well as my fan page are posting updates as they happen. 

Also... did you notice the banner in the top left corner?  Please take a moment to click on it & then cast your vote for me.  I really really would love to be part of Big Brother 12.

In the meantime, I have a fun oldie but goodie for you, Penelope.  A mini version of Penelope was offered as a freebie during a design contest at Funky Playground Designs roughly 1.5 years ago.  This larger kit is retired from a previous store.  It's still one of my faves!  I'll be splitting this up in sections for you.  Today you will be able to get half of all the papers.  Yay for you! (only seven papers now & seven more will be available later, as well as the alpha pack and the element pack).  All of these will only be available for a limited amount of time.

Please become a blog follower, Twitter follower, and/or a Facebook fan of mine to make sure you receive all the freebies I offer.  (see right sidebar for links)  You will also find out about my new releases and sales this way too.  Thanks so much!

download Penelope papers 1 EXPIRED - be sure to come back often so you can grab the other portions ...

and also send your friends to my blog too :)

Thanks bunches!!!!!!!

March Brag Book Challenge

I am hosting the Brag About It challenge at Scrappity-doo-dah! Come on over and enjoy a great challenge while you earn points. Accumulate 500 points and you will earn a $5.00 gift certificate.


How would you like your own brag book with hardly doing any work?


If you are interested, I will provide you with a brag book sized kit that coordinates with my kit, Owl Adore You. That means each page is only 4x6 and all elements are sized to fit the pages.










You are more than welcome to use the provided brag book kit and/or Owl Adore You from my store, but you can only use items from these kits to make your brag book page. At the end of the month I will award all participants the entire brag book made by everyone.


Soooooo.. with my challenge, you will end up with a free brag book as well as points towards a store gift certificate. __________________

Recycle your Blues!

Do you have any old jeans hanging around your house?

Recycle Your Blues.... and insulate a house

March 5th - 14th...

Gap will start a Denim for Denim Recycle Event Friday.  Bring in your used denim tops or bottoms (donate ANY brand) to any Gap location.  You'll receive 30 percent off a new denim purchase at regular price.  Use your Gap storecard and you will receive 35% off your purchase.
There are no limits as to how many you donate or purchase.

The denim will be sent to the Cotton From Blue to Green project.
CFBG takes old denim and recycles it into insulation for eco-friendly homes.
Very cool.
You can see the project here.

It takes approximately 500 pair to insulate a 2300 sq. foot house.

*If you don't want to purchase any jeans, you can still donate your old denim.
*If you don't have any jeans at home, you can go purchase some at Goodwill for a couple dollars & donate them.... and receive a discount on a new pair.
