November 3rd Tip/Tutorial

I'm a day early too- but I have to work tomorrow & didn't want to forget to get this up for you guys!

I want to share with you my favorite place to print off my digital scrapbook pages and projects! Instead of spending a fortune on a wide format printer and more ink than you can imagine, you can have your pages printed for a great price with fantastic quality!

I do almost all my pages 12 x 12. I've printed all over the place and here's my opinions:
1. The big-box-warehouse-but-cheap-to-print store always cuts off borders and prints on flimsy photo paper = I hate them!!
2. Other online sites print great quality, but still on that paper that just feels too flimsy for me. I like the feel of a thicker, cardstock-like page and there is only ONE place I've found that not only uses that sorta paper, but has FANTASTIC quality and customer service!

Pages To Treasure
http://www.pagestotreasure.com/

Pages to Treasure was founded by two moms who digital scrapbooked and wanted their digital scrapbook pages on high quality paper at affordable prices. They offer a fantastic product and excellent service. They even print a FREE sample page (one of your layouts free of charge!) After receiving my sample page (and LOVING it!) I have ordered many times from them. My favorite thing about their paper is it DOES NOT show any fingerprints! All pages are shipped super fast & packaged so well that I've never experienced a bent corner. After my last order- I was sent not only a fantastic coupon for myself and a friend, but also a !!!HAND-WRITTEN!!! thank you card. I was given Erin's email address to contact if I had ANY problems or comments/suggestions. When was the last time you've had such personal customer service in this day and age!?


Check out their blog
http://www.printpages.blogspot.com
for current coupons, give-aways and sales!

Erin has even offered this coupon to our readers!

I hope you're as happy with your printed pages as I have been! And just so you know- I am in no way paid or receive any spoofs (except the coupon I gave above) to brag about them! ;)

Tuesdays Challenge (a wee bit early)

Happy Tuesday everyone! It is chilly here, and wet…which is not my favorite kind of weather! I am more of a Spring/Summer kind of girl, and I can’t wait till it’s back!

Today I have a challenge for you, and if you play along you get a prize!

Usually we scrap about things that make us happy, right? Well today we are scrapping about something that makes us UNHAPPY. (hint: mine’s the cold and wet weather, LOL) It can be your least favorite weather, candy, time of day, household chore-whatever!

You do have a few requirements as well…can’t make it too easy for you! J

1: Use at least one item by Misty O’Brien Designs (anything, it can be a freebie too)

2: I want to see some creative journaling (word strips, different colors or fonts, etc) about why this is your least favorite or makes you unhappy.

3: Add the date somewhere

4: Use at least one photo

5: Post a link to your page by the end of the month and we will not only go and leave you lots of loves, you will get a participation prize for playing along!

I can’t wait to see what you all come up with, this is gonna be fun (even if you don’t like it!)

Here is mine, using the Everyday Happenings collab by Misty O'Brien Designs and SpinkyDink Scraps

Contest Winner (Winners?) :)

So I am sort of a night owl, and my weekends are spent with my hubs and kids and not so much on the computer. I almost forgot to get this post up this evening! I have all the winners ready to go. Winners? Yes, multiple. I told you I had a trick up my sleeve! 

First, the grand prize giveaway of $15 to my store. I, of course, let random.org choose a comment number and the winner is:

Heather I

($15 to Misty O'Brien @ FPD)

Then I decided to award a little gift to one of the Facebook "Likers" and that winner is:

Sondra Bailey

(Free Trick or Treat mini kit at my Guest Store @ Gingerscraps)

and a few days ago, I asked my FB Fans, "If a wish fairy granted you a download of any of my products, which would it be?"

Kari Nichols said she'd choose Everyday Happenings or Tweet Tweet. 

Well Kari, you get your choice! 

All three of you ladies, Heather I, Sondra Bailey, and Kari Nichols, please email me at mobriendesigns at gmail dot com so I can send you your coupon codes for your products! Kari, please also let me know if you'd rather have Tweet or Everyday. 

Congrats to all of my winners! I have some more fun things to come :)
