Hey everyone!

Wow, its been a busy weekend, huh?? I’m so tired… but I’ve had so much fun already and the weekend isn’t even over yet! I’m hosting a Speed Scrap today at ScrapMatters at 4pm ET/1pm PT. I hope you will join me!

Here’s a closer look at the participation prize for today’s Speed Scrap:

Also, I wanted to let you know about two additional opportunities to snag some freebies from me this weekend. First up, in case you hadn’t read the news earlier this week, Connie Prince and I have teamed up to form a new collab team known as North Meets South Studios! We’re very excited about it.

Our first “Templatetopia” collection has been released and it contains 4 full template packs (16 templates in all) for just $3.99. You can find it in my store here. As a bonus, we each created an extra template this month and have them posted on DSA’s special DSD forum as a freebie for their members. You can head on over there and snag it by clicking the preview below. This freebie has expired.

Also, I am the host of one of the Scrap-a-thon challenges at ScrapMatters this weekend, Challenge #5. By the way, have you checked out the Scrap-a-thon yet? If not, you should! You have until 10pm tonight to get your layouts posted… and if you do all 10 challenges, you get a HUGE prize – almost $40 in coupons from the ScrapMatters designers (there are smaller prize packages, too – everyone who does at least one challenge will get a prize. Well worth it!). So, my challenge is a Show Me the Mini challenge. I do this as a monthly challenge at Gotta Pixel and it’s very popular. So, I decided to bring it to ScrapMatters especially for DSD weekend. All I ask is…. if you download the kit, please do play along with the challenge – that’s a fair trade, right? Click the preview below to head on over to ScrapMatters, read the challenge rules, and find the link for the free mini kit. This freebie has expired.

And, just because it’s the only scrapping I’ve been able to do this weekend, lol… here is the layout I made for the mini kit challenge! I hope I see you later on today at my Speed Scrap!
