Facebook Fan Spotlight!!!

It is time for us to get to know another of Misty's Facebook Fans a little better. Today I want to introduce you to Courtney!!

I am Courtney, mommy to Aubrey 3 and Lily 20m, and married to my best friend Chris going on 5 yrs. I am from New Orleans, but moved to Dallas when I was young. I just started back to work recently and I'm really not loving being away from my girls. I have a little photography business called Francois Photographs, that I love, but I only work when things come my way. I love photography, digi scrapping, reading, italian food and seafood, music and being with my little family. Other than that there isn't much to tell :)

How long have you been digi scrapping? About 3 years

How did you discover Misty's designs? Through the scrapping survivor contest at Ginger Scraps last year

What is your favorite kit of Misty's? I've been drooling over Salt Water and Everyday Happenings lately.

How would you describe your scrapping style? Eclectic, I tend to change styles often and with my moods right now I'm into the paper scrapping look.

What's the one scrapbooking item you can't live without? Flowers :)

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Somewhere with a true fall season and that had some snow in the winter. I'd love a little history and character too.

What's your favorite movie? The Birdcage

What's your favorite book? HARRY POTTER!! I like the 4th and 7th the best

Do you have a blog we can feature? sure :) http://lilyrosescraps.blogspot.com/

Courtney also shared her favorite layout made with Misty's kit, Beachy is Peachy!! I love the sand strip borders and the way she used the string!!Thank you so much Courtney for being our Facebook Fan feature this time. And if you haven't already make sure become a fan of Misty's designs on Facebook. We want to spotlight you!!

Asian Beauty + Freebies!

Soooooo..... I collab'd with a very talented designer, Scraps of Ellay. She brought a palette and a theme to the table and I jumped on board. I absolutely adore this kit and can't wait to use it for my own pics! There are 21 papers, over 40 elements, and a really cool alpha made by my design partner. (And check out those extracted hanging paper lamps I threw in!) It's called Asian Beauty and it's available right now in my store at FPD.

My CT did a fab job creating layouts too.

And Funky Playground Designs is having a Back to School sale this week, (starting Monday the 23rd!). The sale is good for kits, meaning you can snag Asian Beauty for 30% off! Check out the sale here

My Guest CT call was awesome! I had such an overwhelming response to my Guest CT ad, it was hard to narrow it down to 3 guest CT members a month. (I will hold another call in December too, so if you didn't make it in this time, look for the next call).

I would like to introduce one of the new Guest CT members, Deanna

I'm Deanna, wife to Earl, mom to 4 grown and married children, and grandma to 14 beautiful grandchildren!! I love being a grandma.

And I was lucky to get her application, Deanna is a hot commodity on 10 creative teams!

Watch for Deanna's layouts, coming in September. You can also see her Asian Beauty layout by scrolling up and checking out those CT layouts. We will have a getting to know you feature on Deanna (and the rest of the Guest CT), sometime in September. 

And because I L-O-V-E my readers, I will you know that I have a totally awesome September Playgroup product releasing in just 10 days!! I might have to post a little sneak peek soon :)

As a reminder, my 500th Facebook Fan will get an awesome $10 coupon code to my FPD store. So close, who will be 500?

Sign up for the newsletter too! My newsletter readers get the best deals, freebies, coupons, and intel. 

Lastly in the info department, I want to let you know about a couple things going on over at FPD.

We have a cool Funky Club, you'll get access to 16 mini kits between now and December for just $10! There are four designers creating these kits and Michelle Batton has a little sneak peek of the first kit to release. Reminder, these are only for Funky Club subscribers so head over to FPD and check it out.

Also, the application deadline for Designer Apprentice is closing soon. If you're a new or even established designer, pop over to DSA. You could win a Guest design spot at FPD or free advertising! See DSA for more details :)

And now for the goodies! CT member Lisa has created a freebie quick page, just for you, using the new Asian Beauty collab. Much love to her! Check back in a couple days for another QP freebie from Wendy, too.

Sorry this was such a LONG blog post. Somehow my original was lost before it was scheduled to post and it took me a few days to find the time to get back here and type it out again. 

Take care my scrapper friends :) Your comments are always adored, take care!

If only I had six hands instead of two. :) If you're interested in keeping up with all the goodies we'll be putting in the shop, check out the 3rd & Bell Facebook Fan Page.
