speed scrap with me

Hey there. First off, I just want to apologize for the site issues going on at ScrapMatters. I know there's been problems accessing the store, adding items to your cart, getting blank white pages. But it IS possible to check out, just be patient and keep trying. Our server host and tech person are working on getting it fixed. It's SO FRUSTRATING not to be able to do anything to make it better. I'm REALLY SORRY guys. Hopefully it will get better.

And - I just wanted to tell you guys to mark your calendars and join me for a Cyber Monday Speed Scrap on Monday (11/30) afternoon. I'm so excited! I get to host a Speed Scrap! It's been a while.

We'll be starting at 11:00 Mountain Time. And everyone who participates is getting this prize:



Hope to see lots of you there!! It's such a fun way to start out the week.

Friday. Black.

It's 1:00 am and that means our sale at SM has officially begun.

*yaY! HoOraY!!!*

It's so rad you guys. You can score the COOLEST Mega Template Pack with a $20 dollar purchase. It has 41 templates in it!!!

Plus everything is 45% off (today -Friday- only)! I honestly can't remember us EVER having a sale this big. It's possibly the biggest SM discount EVER. But don't fret, if you miss shopping on Friday, our sales are still amazing ALL WEEKEND.



I put my this mini-kit in my shop today . . .

"Color Wonder"



Some of you will recognize it as the Speed Scrap prize from earlier this week. But its in the shop available for sale now!! Here's the page I did with it:



and a few more from the team:



It's a totally fun and happy mini-kit!! I really loved scrapping with it, and I know you will too.

Ok - time to enjoy this week's Show Offs . . .

Thanks so much for sending in your LOs this week!! Even with the holiday, I had SO many Show Offs! I loved seeing each one. The Show Offs this week are getting a choice of prize! I don't do "choice of prize" weeks all that often, so this is a special Black Friday treat. Watch your email inboxes show offs and then respond to my email to pick your prize . . .



If you'd like to show off and get prizes, all you have to do is send me your layouts using Britt-ish Designs products. Read the end of this post for all the details.

And that's everything for my Black Friday sale kick off post!! Hope you guys all have a fun time shopping the sales! While the crazies are out getting $5 flannel pants at Wal-Mart, I'll be tucked in my warm bed. teeheeeehee

**HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY!!**

Well, the parade is over. The turkey's been carved and devoured. Now what?

It's time to SHOP!

ScrapMatters' Black Friday sale is just hours from opening its doors, but some shops are already in full swing.

Many of you know Megan Turnidge's designs. I'm on her CT and seriously there is the BEST deal going on right now over where she sells. Farmer's Market at ScrapOrchard. All items at the Farmer's Market are just $1 (through Sunday 11/29)!! And Megan's got some ADORABLE products marked down to just $1, including a pack of brand new templates. And yes, they are only $1!! You just can't pass up a deal like that.

Good morning! Happy Friday the 13th. Some people think Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, but my first date with Josh was on Friday the 13th, so for me it's a LUCKY day! But anyway, it's Friday. And that means it's time to release a new product! So, let me show you what I'm releasing today.

"Inspired by Kim Templates"



One of my wonderful Britt Girls, Kim (kimbytx), allowed me to take four of her creations and turn them into templates so we can all scrap like Kim!



I had so much fun making these templates! And I was very excited to try one out. Here's my page . . .



And here are the LOs from the Britt Girls . . .



Awesome, huh? We all harnessed our inner "Kims" and had so much fun scrapping with these templates. Thanks so much, Kim, for being my inspiration this week!

Ok - time for Show Offs. . .

Thanks to everyone who sent in their LOs this week! You're all getting my new "Inspired by Kim Templates". Watch those inboxes.
