A Break From the Madness… and a freebie…

Allison

Yesterday started a 55% off sale in my store. Till Tuesday everything – except Santa’s Bag packs and the brand new grab bag – is 55% off. The grab bag is already ridiculously priced. I may have been half asleep when I priced it. Discount shows in the cart!!

And, as mentioned, this grab bag is big and packed full of non-holiday happiness. Wednesday it will be broken up so act now and get a ridiculous discount… cheaper than even just the full kit inside.

I made an alpha that coordinates with the GB for my designer spotlight day at Polka Dot Plum which you can grab by clicking the preview…

Santa’s Bag and a big fat challenge!

Pieces of our new collaborative effort have begun showing up at the Polka Dot Plum shoppe!  Very cool.  I’ve always been fond of the buy the parts you want collabs.  I’ve currently got 2 parts in the shoppe and a 3rd one coming soon. Go check them out!

New challenges are also pouring in today.  Including a new Twisted Lift with me.  The Twisted Lifts are now a weekly event!!
And to officially celebrate that I’ve got two ways to win!  The 1st: For every person that participates in the new TL this week I’ll add $2 to the gift certificate that one person will win next week.  Whoever takes the biggest risk and pulls it off will win. So grab a friend and go for it!

Also, for every TL you complete that *starts* in the months of December (starting with this week’s) you’ll get an entry to win a $15 GC at the end of the month!  Sound good?  And don’t forget that you also get points for every challenge you complete at Polka Dot Plum, see each challenge for details.

I’m working like crazy to load up my store with new stuff this month.  It’s been a weird couple of weeks but there’s lots coming soon!  Perhaps, maybe even a huge sale in my store starting the 14th?

The December blog train has left the station…

Allison

Thanks for stopping by! I scheduled this to publish at noon but it seems it wanted to publish at noon on my coast so here we are…

To download my portion click the preview! Inside you’ll find 3 elements and a few elements that the preview doesn’t do justice:

Next stop on the train is http://ramona-ramonathepest.blogspot.com.
Want to go back to the beginning? Here you go!

Have fun!!!

You know you might want it…

Allison

Admit it.  There’s a possibility you might want my new release.  Anything’s possible, you say?  Scoff away… But I warn you.

This week I’ve gone pretty. Okay, okay… I suppose that’s in the eye of the beholder.  But let me tell you… The younger of my 11 year olds  (more on that later) informed me today that she didn’t even know me any more.  Ha!

In the store tomorrow, 20% off…

A different take on Fall, I agree.  No pumpkins, no scarecrows… I’m with you.  But it’s MY take on Fall.  Beyond that, it’s a pretty large kit – 22 papers, 70something elements and an alpha?  There’s nothing in there so theme oriented that you can’t use it in June.  And if I do say so myself?
The alpha is wicked!  Hope you like it.  Stop by PDP for a new week of challenges and other new releases on sale.  Susan’s got a new template pack that rules.  Brandy revealed and split up her super cool grab bag that I really wish I wouldn’t have been too broke to get.  Amy and Lauren (aka The Keepers of the Plum) have a ridiculous, grungy set of CU/PU brush strokes.

PDP Blog Train!!!!!!

Allison

I’ve spend two days pulling my hair out (I do this often… which is why I found it necessary to shack up with a stylist. Well, that and because it’s fun sitting here in my favorite ratty sweatshirt, eating a generic ice cream sandwich with $300 worth of hair product in my hair that I can’t even pronounce but get to use because above mentioned handsome man works at a salon that would never let me through the door… it’s ridiculous really but that’s not why we’re here, is it?) because there’s sales all over the place so tremendous that I’d be living in the streets if DSD happened every week. Every newsletter that hits my inbox is met with a girlish squeal followed by a prompt and grown up apology to anyone sitting near me. But really… sequins at 75% off? If that’s not worth a squeal than what is? Perhaps DSD blog trains are equally worthy. What if each stop gifts you a mysterious bag filled with coordinating free stuff? Sequins are cool but grab bags? Get out.

If you’ve managed to make it through my late Friday night rantings than you’ll be pleased to know that I’m no tease. I actually have one of those bags and you can download it right now! All you have to do is click the picture! You don’t even have to wait 32 seconds at 4shared!

LINK FIXED


Next stop on the train is Sunflowers (it’s there at the very bottom of her post) Want to go back to the beginning? Return to the lovely Susan Robinson’s blog! We’re not all in the same time zone so if something seems to be missing keep checking back. Enjoy your iDSD and be sure to check out all the fun happening over at the PDP forums… Watch that forum all day as games and challenges pop up. You could win a guest spot on a PDP designer’s CT. Not to mention all the free stuff. Allison

Allison

Lorry, Lorry, Lorry…

Allison

How many more times are you going to win?  People are going to start thinking it’s rigged!

But since you were the only one who played (GASP!) what choice do I have?  It was a worthy win, however, and I’m happily sending you a coupon as soon as I’m done here.

Didja know it’s almost DSD time again?!  Did you know we’re going nuts for it over at Polka Dot Plum?  No?

Seriously insane prizes, fantastic games, a SALE!  A blog train!  So much fun.  Don’t miss it.  Don’t.

I’m personally hosting the first speed scrap of the day with prize potential and then I’m hosting a really cool challenge that’ll score you a free mini to use AND the chance to win!  That’s lots of free.  Just for showing up.  I may or may not have new goodies for release that day also.

Speaking of which, today I released 3 paper packs that coordinate with Artful Argyles.  They’re bold and bright basics, good stuff for any digi arsenal.  AND they’re 20% off today. And check out the new, gorgeous, store collaboration. It’s a doozy!

Have a great Wednesday!

Little bit longer…

Allison

Don’t forget to post your freebie containing layout links here or in this post before you run out of time! You could win anything from my store for free. Check original post for super complicated details…

Another terrifying freebie!

Allison

I couldn’t resist offering these little crazies for free!  They’re available free through the store but only for a very short time.  Then they’ll move out of freebie land and into the real world.  Boo!

Grab ‘em while they’re free!!!!  Click the image to head to the store…
