A Few Reminders and Some News!

I will be going on vacation this coming weekend. The family and I are going west for a week to visit my sister and take the kids to do some fun things while it's Ian's spring break. We will be getting started a little early this week by heading around town to do some geocaching!

Anyway, a few reminders:

1) My CT call ends tomorrow night! If you've been wanting to join my already fabulous CT this is your chance! 



2) My store at STS is closing and most products are 50% off. Some items may even be retiring. Last day will be March 31st.



3) My store at Funky Playground Designs opens on April 1st! I have a brand new kit ready to go and it will only be available at FPD. 

If you're already a Facebook Fan, I sent out a freebie to you this evening. Facebook seems to have a little bit of a delay so the updates are showing up in your inbox just yet. This freebie is an add on to my new kit. Here's a preview of the add on.



Gingerscraps has a new magazine coming out, for which I am the editor :). Go to the Gingerscraps blog and sign up to receive the newsletter so you don't miss out on GS freebies and fun! (Scroll down towards the bottom on the right hand side to find the newsletter sign up box).

And of course, become a Facebook Fan!  I do random giveaways and freebies and it's one of the best ways to stay up to date on news. You can also follow me on Twitter :)

The Creative Divas

Hello Adriana here and I have another Diva for you to meet.
Here is our Dana!

Dana (or Scrappingirl around digiland :) )
Idaho
Married to John for 8 1/2 years and mother Savannah who is 6 1/2 and Landon who is 4 1/2


How long have you been digi-scrapping?
About 1 year.

Are you a scrapper, designer or both?
Just a scrapper... really don't have a clue about the designing end!

How many hours a week (on average) do you spend scrapping?
Oh my goodness... way too many. I would say probably 10 or more!

Which programs do you use to make your layouts?
PhotoShop Elements 7.0

How would you describe your scrapping style?
I don't know that I have a real "style" I generally use more than one picture and I like to journal. I like my layouts to tell a story and document a memory!

Which scrap forum do you visit the most?
Stuff to Scrap and Gingerscraps

5 things you love:
1. My family 2. Playing softball 3. Reading 4. Traveling 5. Eating out!

5 things that bother you:
1. People who lie 2. Being late (in myself and others) 3. Whiny kids 4. Arrogance 5. Slow drivers!! :)

What is your Misty's favorite product?
I love Everyday Happenings! It is so versatile and works for just about any kind of layout!!

Here are some great pages made by Dana.

Multnomah Falls:Kit is Fort Wilderness by Misty Template by Scraps 'N Pieces

Bedtime Story: Kit is Everyday Happenings by Misty and Spinky Dink Scraps
