#1 - Leafin' Lovin' Gallery Contest at Gotta Pixel

This is a great contest with great PRIZES!!

Every day so many wonderful masterpieces are posted in the gallery. We want you to visit these fabulous layouts and start Leafin’ some Lovin’. And in return, Gotta Pixel is going to be Leafin’ you some Lovin’! Here’s how to play! Each day you'll be given something to search for. This could be a color, an element, a person, etc.

When you find a layout with today's item (that means any LO with BLUE in it) just leave a comment on the layout. Once you have commented on ten (10) layouts, post a link to each of them in the current days thread. (We suggest you create a document to keep each link until you have gathered 10.) For each post of 10 layouts you have commented on, you will receive an entry into the GRAND PRIZE DRAWING at the end of the month!

But wait there is more! There will also be weekly participation prizes, and a special bonus for anyone who has qualified (posting at least one 10-link list) at least once each week!If you have any questions, please check this thread.

I am really falling in love with the Digital Scrapbook Artisan Guild and the Artisan Notebook. I downloaded my first copy and have been drooling over the pages.

You can now get you copies at Gotta Pixel as well as DSAG.

My Niece's First Digi-LO

I am so proud of my niece's first digital LO. She scrapped her dog, Fiona. Oh my, if you only knew how spoiled this dog is... The whole family went camping a few months ago. We couldn't leave Fiona at the camp site if we went out in the boat or swam out to the island. Fiona fought getting in the water at first, but she got over it quite quickly. She even learned the clues that we were going to be going out in the boat and would get it in it before anyone else...lol. By the end of that trip, that dog could really swim!!! She's such a sweetie...and so is my niece. Click on the image to be able to go give her some love! She just turned 11...look at the talent!

Don't forget to use your coupon! Only 3 days left!

Monday Marbles Freebie

I have a set of 4 FREE brag book pages for you today! These are brag book pages with a twist...make them into an address book! After you pop your photos into the page (all in png format), you can add text using your photo editing program or scrapbooking program...or you can just write on them after you print them with a decent photo/scrapbooking pen or marker. I used Monotype Corsiva...a slightly fancy font that comes with a lot of Microsoft products, but it will go nicely with many others if you don't have that one. I used a different one (Freehand951 BT) for the sample page below. Also, you can resize these into tiny 2x3 pages to have and adorable yet functional brag book address book to carry in your purse!

These pages match more Marvelous Marbles Address Book Brag Book Pages that are currently on sale in my store at Deco-Pages.com. I even have a set of templates so that you can make your own with any kit, or use for commercial purposes. See the post right below this one for a preview.

Don't forget to use your special blog coupon (SAPblog0908) to get an additional 25% off everything in my store. This coupon will expire Saturday!
