If you answered no to either of those questions, I am going to seriously question your sanity LOL

Before I get to the freebie I just wanted to catch you up on some of my recent products – I know, I know, I’ve been just dreadful about keeping my blog up-to-date (my twitter and FB page too for that matter) and I had an offer from a very sweet chickie to do my blog posts for me, but I am just determined to get myself motivated to do this myself!  I even installed this fresh new WP theme that I really love!   Still a few things I want to tweak, but well, I’m always fiddling LOL

But I have been “pretty” good about getting my newsletter out on a regular basis and I’ve been including some pretty sweet deals in there – and there will be some exclusive freebies coming that way soon too, so if you aren’t subscribed you might want to do so!

So first thing I want to show you is this super duper cute collab I did with Girl Boy Girl Designs by Jen Balding called Cirque de Funk (images are linked) – they are currently on sale AND there is a BOGO offer AND you can even get Part Two for free – just check out the product description for details!!

And I also had the pleasure of participating in my very first charity collab for a very worthy cause!  All of the proceeds from the sale of the collab All Creatures Great and Small will be going directly to the National Wildlife Federation to support the Gulf Coast oil spill clean up.

The collab is available only for a limited time, so head on over to Funky Playground and get your copy before it’s too late!

I also have a new paper pack out just in time for Canada Day and Independence Day – it’s on sale for 25% off through Sunday.

And hey, hint, hint…watch my shop this week because I’m going to be re-releasing a few of my older Patriotic themed kits for a limited time!

That’s it for new releases, but I do have one other special offer in my store right now!  When you buy My Sweet Leah you can get Butterfly Dreams for FREE! Just add both products to your cart to receive this awesome deal (valid through July 9th).

Ok, bet you’re tired of waiting on that freebie – and maybe a bit hungry for some chocolate too?

LOL, yes, I have been an awful blogger lately haven’t I?   DH had an unexpected week long business trip out of the country that turned things upside down for us, my parents came for a weekend visit, shampooed my carpets, did some gardening, been busy designing (yes, REALLY)  and of course working my hinder off behind the scenes at Funky Playground.  Whew!

First I want to show you this adorable collab I did with my pal Tara, AKA Geek Chic Scraps who is guesting at the Playground this month!

And a few layouts from the creative teams:

And if you missed my early bird chat, you can grab my goodie in my store now:

And some layouts with the wavers:

And today we’re kicking off our first ever Playgroup at Funky Playground!  It’s where all of the designers used the same color palette to create minis, papers, elements, etc. in our own themes and you, the customer can mix-and-match them to create your OWN collab kit!

And here are my offerings to the playgroup:

And a few of the layouts from the CT:

And they’re all 25% off for a limited time, so grab ‘em quick!

Depending on your blending mode and opacity settings, these full-color, painted and splattered, texture-overlays can give your papers just a pop of depth and color. Or make a very unique, bold statement!

And they’re Commercial Use!!

I picked it up, fascinated by its sun faded colors. Curious about where it had been and to whom it had belonged. Did the person it belonged to know that it was missing or had they discarded it without another thought, leaving the piece of paper to be carried away by the wind to fall gently at my feet? Have you ever come across a piece of paper left in the sun?

Do you remember back when you were a kid and you got a brand new box of crayons…you’d open it and admire the shiny, bright and perfectly shaped wax and breathe in the smell of creativity? Remind yourself of the joy of the rainbow filled box of crayons with this awesome set of textured papers!

Now that I’m all settled in my new home at Funky Playground Designs, I thought it was about time to release the products that were in my Feb Grab Bag.  LOL, better late than never!  And I figured what the heck, let’s make them all 25% off through Sunday too!

And we’ve got a really cool sale going on this weekend that you won’t want to miss!  Lost and Found is making a comeback as a once-a-month, weekend sale!  Woot!!!

Well, you know that I’m going to toss some goodies in the sale….but, what will they be?  You won’t know unless you drop by and look in the Lost and Found this weekend – but at $1.00 a piece, you know it’s going to be worth checking out!

What else is new?  We recently opened up our forum to the public with the fabulous Shannon of Shanmomto4 Designs at the helm, feel free to stop in and chat with all the funky folks at the Playground.

And you know how we revealed our new chat room during the grand opening…well, we’re pleased to announce that our totally awesome site Admin, Cindy (AKA Scribler) will be hosting our very first monthly speed scrap in the chat room next Thursday, April 22nd at 9 pm EST.  And there will be an extended version in the forum over the weekend for those who aren’t able to attend the actual chat.  Oh, and did I mention there will be PRIZES?!

First of two things I’ve made you wait for…. the tabbed alphas to coordinate with all the other “tab” products I’ve created in the studio 365 line.  Comes as a bundle or as individual colors. Get these for 20% off Thursday and Friday!

And the second thing you’ve been waiting for…the reveal of my grab bag!  But it also means that the price is increasing from $3.00 to $3.99 as well. Which is steal a huge bargain…so don’t wait too much longer, because this deal won’t be available after Feb 28th!
