Thanks for understanding, and Ill see how the next day or two go, I may have something a little later in the week for you instead

Monday Contest Day Winner and EXCITING news!

Happy Monday everybody!

Unfortunately, there were only incorrect guesses so nobody wins this time around!

I do, however; have the exciting news for you!!!

I am so so thrilled to announce that I am going to be
selling at Divine Digital!

They are a wonderfully huge site! They have such an amazing variety of work, for all tastes and styles. They have everything from hybrid to digital, they believe in supporting good causes with regular charity kits and events, they have challenges, chats, podcasts....it is a wonderful, exciting variety of things, and I am so proud to be a part of it.

I am currently getting my products ready for the store, and have a brand new ADORABLE kit ready for release. The kit has matching Qps and a cute freebie as well. So as soon as I can upload my things I will release that!

I also have a new CT member you will be hearing more from and about soon! She took advantage of the ability to e-mail in ahead of time about the CT Call, so I snatched her up!

Also I wanted to say a quick thank you to the great ladies at DST I met this weekend that did a quick page call for me. They were so great and helped out last minute and hopefully we will get to work with them again!

On a side note my total designer crush .... lol yes designer crush of course is Duchess Designs, she just rocks, anyway have you seen her new blinkie?



She totally made that herself and I love it! So I bribed her to make a couple blinkies for moi! She is re-doing the Pretty Pixel fan blinkie and CT blinkie, so look for those soon. And take a look in her stores at GDWI and Scrapdish cause she might be offering the service in the near future!

That is all for today :) But... make sure you stop by tomorrow for another Freebie Tuesday!

Happy Scrapping Y'all!

Sunday Spotlight

Happy Sunday, everyone.

I hope everyone has been having a wonderful weekend. It has been lovely here in Central Florida. The weather is nice and mild. I just can not wait for winter to full out bring some cold weather!!!

I thought for today's Sunday Spotlight we would Spotlight Pretty Pixels. :)

We are back into the swing of things again, and totally lovin' it! We have a brand new kit, that is definitely the cutest thing I think to date we have put out, in addition to the best in quality and elements. There is a good, large variety, almost no re-coloring so lots of unique stuff. Also there was a lot of time spent in attention to little details to bring you the best quality yet, as well as additional products that will correspond with the kit to bring ease into your scrapping life, and your everyday life :) I can not wait to bring it to you.

At this point a few details are being finished and it will be released on Nov 1st.... IF nothing delays that! lol.

I am pretty sure there will be a CT call in the near future as well. I had all my CT and guests planned out til Feb, BUT I messed most of that up with my absence, so sorry girls. So we are in need of highly motivated scrappers at the moment. If you have any interest in pre-applying before I get the ad out, which I am planning also to come out around the 1st, feel free to emai me or Tami at prettypixelsct@yahoo.com Since re-evolving into a new team, with a new mission I am truly looking forward to working with some great ladies.

With that said, I am truly happy to say that Tami ... aka MrsRomer on most forums, will be my Creative Team Leader. I am glad to be working with her, and that I asked her...begged her lol, to help and take the position. She is a total cheerleader, workhorse, and motivator. She is amazing! Seriously...so thank you Tami !

I wanted to share a few LOs done using Pretty Pixels' stuff since there has not been too much of that from us lately. But get ready for bigger and better!!!







OH! And dont forget TEN products for 99 cents each until the end of the month at Digital Candy only!!!! Just look on the last two pages, 6 and 7, of products to see what you can get for cheap! :)

ONEderful Wednesday

Woo hoo!  Tanyia is so generous!  Not only is she having a retirement sale with 10 products for 99 CENTS!  She also let me talk her into putting feelin' fresh as our $1 ONEderful Wednsday special!!!  I just LOVE this kit and has used it for a couple wedding LO's.

And because we were late getting this posted, you have until 11:59 pm on Thursday to get this fantastic kit at 83% OFF!

This is by T3R3SA at Digital Candy.  Please be sure to leave her some love!

This is my latest wedding LO done with this kit :)

Don't take a chance on missing out on these awesome alphas & fabulous kits!  Once they are gone, they are gone FOREVER!  Trust me, you'll regret it later.  We don't want you to have any regrets, so go NOW!  :)  You can find them on pages 6 & 7.

Tuesday Freebie Day

Happy Tuesday, y'all!

I am anxious to see if anymore guesses come in for the Monday contest before next Monday. I am so excited I am gonne burst! lol

I am feeling renewed and inspired again, and ready to create!

Today for our Tuesday Freebie I have a really cool paper pack for you! :) I started this with the idea of making a cool kit... something I could use for my teenager's pics. But after so long on these papers, making the patterns just so, and just grungy enough, I was spent and I am pretty sure nothing else will come of it lol. So I would LUV to share them with you!!!

Everything is usually so darn cutesy in digi world, I wanted to stir the waters a bit! Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think about them!!!



You can download them HERE! They will be available for one week only and will not appear in the store. So grab 'em now ladies!

Merry Monday Contest Day!!!!

Hi everyone! So thrilled to finally be back and active again! I sure missed this!

I wanted to announce a new contest ... as is our weekly agenda for Mondays, that we will now be able to keep up with again! Yay!

Fall is a wonderful time of year, things old die away, waiting for the snow and harsh colds to come and cleanse the land...leaving a blank palette for nature to paint in the spring! And to some, change can be a scary thing, but I say it is a time of evolving into someone and something new, stretching your proverbial wings and trying out a new flight path!

So, in honor of that idea, you might have noticed our retiring products sale... out with some of the old to make way for whatever new might be coming... not sure what that is yet, but Im confident it will be good! :)

Also there will be some changes going on in Pretty Pixelville!

Our first contest gives you an opportunity to guess what that might be! You can guess once and once only... but the first 5 people to guess correctly will be able to win ANY one product from the Pretty Pixel store. Yep...anything you like! We can get joy from the news and you can share in it with us!

So...just leave a comment here and post away!!! Good guessing!


On another note: I have a new TOU, which is pretty much the same, but frankly I am so tired of hearing what we can NOT do, I thought I would just point out what you can do. So you can do what is says, and if it doesnt say...you can't. lol I figure we can figure it out, but for anyone that is unsure or wants to ask a specific question, or ANYTHING else simply send us an email at prettypixelsctAThotmailDOTcom.



This will soon be replaced in all old files as well as all to come.

Dont forget our big .99 cent sale and take a moment to guess what is new and upcoming for us! Good luck!

HUGE retiring sale!!!!!!!

Nope not me ... just my ten eldest products! lol

I figured it was a good time to purge a bit, make room for anything new, since I am back and trying to get back in the swing of things!

For TWO WEEKS you can get these ten items for .99 each Yep less than a buck for full kits, alphas, and more!!!The items can be found on pages 6 and 7 of my Exclusive DC STORE!!

FREEBIES

Please leave the girls some love and be sure to pick up your copy of this fun kit and start scrapping your birthdays away!

Did Ellie mention something about a freebie? Wouldn't want to disappoint you, so here are 2 Quickpages by our CT Members Kaytee & Jodie. They did a GREAT job! These are from Happy Birthday, Buddy and you can pick it up at Digital Candy.

And here are your Qickpages ~ you can pick them up HERE

And The Spotlight Is On...

our one and only Kaytee!

CT: Tell us a little about yourself...

Kaytee: Well, my name is Kaytee and I have been married for 4 years. We have a baby girl named Nichole, who is not much of a baby anymore!! lol, She is 2 1/2 and SPOILED!!! We are currently trying to add to our family!! We also have 2 dogs and a cat. A black lab named Strider, a beagle named Ally McBeagle, and the kitty is Sassi.

CT: When & how did you start digiscrapping?

Kaytee: I started digiscrapping about a year and half ago. I was using a crappy program that didn't use layers and such at that time!

CT: Do you use a laptop or desktop & what program do you use?

Kaytee: I use a desk top computer with Paintshop Pro X2, we just got a laptop as well, but I can't get my program to upload on it :(

CT: What's your fave Pretty Pixels kit & why?

Kaytee: Hmm... so many to choose from!!! If I had to choose one though I think I would go with My BFF Rose. Its just so girly and FUN!! That frog is just the cutest thing ever!!! lol

CT: Do you take part in challenges? If so what's your fave?

Kaytee: I do! I love challenges, I go to those when I am having problems getting started on a page, which is often! lol My favorite challenges are templates or journaling! I also really like doing the recipe challenge and Digital Candy. I have never done those till last month and it was just great!!

CT: What do you enjoy doing apart from scrapping?

Kaytee: Well I am a co-owner of a parenting website, so I do spend some time doing that. I also play World of Warcraft with my dad, my uncle and great Aunt, and even my husband! lol We are all dorks. I love to read and my favorite book is Lord of the Rings, though I am reading The Other Boleyn Girl right now and its FABULOUS!!

CT: I like your Digital Candy username - nvr.4.gtn - is there a story behind this?

Kaytee: There is! This is my user name all over the internet. Its pronounced (never for gotten) for those that didn't know. Its for my brother. He was killed in Iraq in june of 2005. He was 23 years old and my baby brother! I will never forget him and want others to remember the soldiers fighting right now. Not just honor the fallen but to honor all of them. My father is a retired Marine who served in Vietnam and Desert Storm, my other brother, Kevin was a Marine (with 2 tours in Iraq) and then transferred to the Army where he went for a 3rd time. His 3rd time there was my brother Nick's first tour. They served at the same time though in different areas of Iraq. Nick was killed when I was 3 months pregnant. I never even told him I was pregnant, though my mom says he knew. So we named our child after him. Her name is Nichole. CT: What can I say? That is a tragic but lovely story...

CT: And finally, have you got something you would like to share with the blogs readers like a quote or a trick to the program you use or any scrapping advice etc?

Kaytee: Hmm... I don't know. lol I guess my only advise would be to scrap with purpose! Scrap little things that don't mean much now but you know they will in years to come. For example I recently did a page on little things Nichole says. Just little phrases she says that are so funny when she says them, but I know I won't remember them when she is older. Now because they are scrapped she will know how silly she was!

CT: here is that lo in the Digital Candy gallery and here's a couple more...

This lo is using Kaytee's favourite Pretty Pixels kit - My BFF, Rose - which you can see here exclusively at Digital Candy

I just LOVE Kaytee's journalling on this lo - you can read it better here in the Digital Candy gallery! You can see the kit - Reflections - here

As many know, Hurricane Ike is heading towards Texas. So bare with us a bit longer before we are able to get loud & rowdy. Please keep these folks in thought and prayer. I can tell you first hand how difficult things can be after a major hurrican as we moved to Mississippi JUST in time for Katrina.

Sunday Spotlight!!

happy Sunday y'all! This evening I am brining you a fun little interview I had with Jolene!



CT: Hi Jolene!!! I am so happy you were free to do this!
Jolene: Hello! I'm so glad to be here!

CT: Let's see... why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Jolene: Well I'm 25 years old, and I live in Central Florida with my husband of 5 years and our 3 little girls. Obviously... I'm a little bit of a digi-scrap addict!
CT: Well, I have to say I never knew you were another Central Floridian! lol So are Brooke and I, we are probably quite close.

CT: And I have to ask...what is the deal behind your forum name (mighttyjomomma) lol?
Jolene: Ha! I knew this was coming! I was in a mommy email loop when I was pregnant with my twins three years ago, and after seeing my belly pictures one of my friends nicknamed me that, and it just kind of stuck!

CT: How did you get into scrappin' and CTing?
Jolene: Well I actually started out making siggys for my friends, and a couple of my friends "crossed over" into the digital scrapbooking world and I thought to myself "How great!" because I am not very crafty at all, but I think digital scrap gives you more options and it's just so much more fun to play with! So I ended up giving it a try and now I'm 100% addicted!

CT: What do you spend your time doing when you aren't on the PC?
Jolene: Chasing around my three girls, ha! I try to keep them active outside, go to the park, we are huge Disney World junkies, bowling, just anything that's family friendly for kids under 5. I'm also a big movie buff! It actually makes me a little bit of a nerd because I'm known to quote movies -- often! But sshhh! Don't tell anyone!
CT: I hate to break this to ya... but this is an interview lol...so it might be too late! hehe

CT: Have you read any good books lately...anything you'd recommend?
Jolene: Well the lastest books I've read are Dr. Seuss books to my kids, haha! But in what's left of my spare time I read "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert and I'm really enjoying it.

CT: Oh, I have to tell you! I totally love your LO titled "Tough Girl!" It is so adorable! Is she really a tough one, hehe?
Jolene: Thanks! That's my oldest, and she is definitely a tough girl. All of her cousins were boys until she came along and in her classroom at school I think there was one other girl so she has to keep her ground, ya know? Thankfully, she's not as rough and tough with her little sisters as she used to be!

CT: What has been your fav Pretty Pixel kit to work with so far?
Jolene: Definitely Feeling Like A Princess. It's got lots of swirlies and pink, and pink seems to dominate my house so I find it the easiest color for me to scrap with.

CT: Any behind the scene Pixel gossip we should know about? How do you like working with the team?
Jolene: We have a wonderful solid team! I'm very happy with the group of girls we've got and not to mention one heck of a designer!
CT: Awww...shucks! :)

CT: Do you have any advice for scrappers out there? Any little Jolene tricks up your sleeve?
Jolene: Just to keep at it, play around with your program a little and get familiar with what you can and can't do with your layouts. Don't be afraid to just really layer your elements and do what YOU think looks good. That's the trick, you're making these for your own memories so you should make it the way you like it.

CT: Thanks so much for being with us today, Jolene and sharing a bit about yourself with our Pixel Pals! :)
Jolene: No problem, thanks for having me!

Here are a couple of Jolene's beautiful LOs :)









If you have any questions or comments for Jolene or I, please feel free to leave em here :)

Don't forget to drop by tomorrow...never know what you may find! :)
This weeks schedule includes sales, freebies, challenges, and more! So we shall see you all throughout the week!
