September Already???

I cannot believe that September is here already. where does the time go?  It sure does fly by if you are not paying attention. I have tons of things on my mind so I am just gonna get going.

TWIN MOM SCRAPS is having a Blog Birthday Celebration. Hurry and get over there and you can get some great deals. She is having a Progressive sale through the month. So right now everything is at least 50% off.  Next week it will be 40%, then 30%, etc...you get the idea. So buy now and you can get more bang for your buck.  AND she has a Download a Day going on. and it is gorgeous!!! PLUS later on this month you will find a Blog Train. Also check out her BLOG Challenges. This week it is a FONT Challenge - Now who doesnt LOVE a great new font!?

Marie H also has a fabulous sale going onthrough the month. Check out her stores at GingerScraps, the Studio, and her new store at Scrapping Fairytales

Stephanie of Snips & Snails Designs is also happy to be featured in the GingerScrapsStreet Magazine. She has an awesome kit for this.  It will be available for free for the month of September, and after that you will be able to pick it up in her stores. She also has a set of stacked papers, and cardstock already in her stores at the Studio and Divine Digital

Orchard Days

Here are two LOs I created using this wonderful kit. 

                                     


Speaking of featured Designers - another one of my Designers is being featured this month. Matilda of Matilda Designs is also being spotlighted.  So check her out at ScrapInsider, you will meet a very lovely extremely talented artist.  And you can pick up some great deals too.

AND as if that is not enough....I have gotten myself into two more store competitions.....I dont do well in competition so we will see how that goes, but it will be fun. I think. 

The Studio is having a BIG BIRTHDAY BASH!!  And with that there is a Layout Artist Competition along with a bunch of other challenges. I am especially excited for the template exchange (as I have mentioned before I am addicted to templates) . I am struggling with the LO already, lol. I have one but I am not sure I LOVE it, so I will probably make one or two more, and then post the one I like the best (that is if I can find the time) 

A new month means a new Template Challenge. Once again I am hosting this challenge over at Sunflower Scraps Boutique.  I am super excited about this months template. I am very happy with the final result. I am a little sad that last month I only had two people post their pages. I cant help but doubt myself as a template creator. So if you do DL please at least let me know what you think even if it is just a small thanks.  I type kinda slow and that only took a couple of seconds. plus a few seconds to go through the submit comment it really does make me smile. 

NOW the template. I was inspired by the participation Bonus that the fabulous designer Whispy Dzines created for my challenge.  Its just....So... September (as I remember it in the Northern Hemisphere).  Check out the challenge and consider playing along this month...you will get a great Bonus if you do.  I also was advised that a lot of people dont like shadows included (for a few different reasons). I always have liked the shadows, so I decided this month to offer BOTH. If you have an oppinion let me know what your preference is. This can help me as a creator. 

Enough babble and onto the goodie. 

here is the template.
