Wednesday Wrap-up - February 22, 2012

Wish me luck Trixie fans! I run my very 1st 5K this weekend in Fort Worth! I am really excited, since I have been training for 6 months. I am not very fast, but I know I can finish and I am looking forward to crossing that finish line on Saturday morning! I’ll be sure and let you know how I do. Any other runners out there gearing up for races soon?

There has been lots of great information on the blog this week, too, so let’s review!

On Thursday, Melinda reminded us about the power of great photo composition using the rule of thirds and challenged us to create a layout that features a well-composed photo. Upload your layout to the Trixie Scraps Gallery so you can play along, be a show-off and get a sweet prize!

Friday brought the announcement of some new goodies, a sale, and a freebie! You can grab some new add-ons for the feature kit Always In My Heart (on sale 30% off), get a second chance 30% off sale price on If the Slipper Fits, After the Rain and some previous Templatopia packs, and pick up a cute frame cluster using pieces from Always In My Heart. But hurry! The sale prices are only good through tomorrow!

Saturday, Lori took us on a tour of great Stars layouts using Trixie Scraps newest release, Best Guy Ever. Be sure to stop by for some amazing inspiration.

On Sunday, Bree featured all of the gorgeous Show-Offs layouts from the Trixie Scraps Gallery. The pages are just stunning, so don’t miss out on seeing them! Be sure to start submitting your pages for the next round now! See how to be a show-off here.

We also announced the latest Special Request Sunday winner this week – Christina G! But, in case you missed it we also rolled out the next contest at the same time – request your favorite Trixie Scraps kit and your wish might be granted! Don’t wait until the last minute – the winner will be announced in March!

Monday morning Stacy brought us the Must Have Monday sale announcement. You can get a great deal on Love of a Lifetime at all of Trixie Scraps stores. Be sure to scoop this kit up at its deeply discounted price before Friday!

Tips, Trends and Techniques Tuesday featured Jennifer offering a tutorial on using the spherize tutorial in SBC+. She also included a photo template just for SBC+ users, so be sure to stop by and grab that if you use SBC+.

And don’t forget the very first Pickle Barrel offering by Trixie Scraps – Showers of Love – which is an amazing kit, and Carrin was kind enough to whip up a little flair freebie for you too!

There are a bunch of fabulous products in the works for you Trixie Scraps fans. Because I know how much you love to get the behind-the-scenes scoop I snagged this little beauty to share while the studio was being cleaned!

This kit will be available for Pixel Club Members at Gotta Pixel on March 1st. Not a member? Be sure to join here and get this beautiful freebie!
