Black Friday - Cyber Monday 50% off Sales (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday)

Before I started designing I had never heard of the term "Black Friday" as it is not something that is part of Australian shopping culture. For those of my fellow scrapbooking friends outside of the USA, black friday is the start of the christmas shopping season and is highlighted by big discount sales. I would imagine that it is similar to the Boxing Day sales that happen here, where people line up at the store doors early for the best bargains. So Black Friday is in full force this weekend at Gottapixel. My store is 50% until Cyber Monday (the internet equivlent of Black Friday). So go grab a bargain. This is the last time this year that you will see prices this low.

Don't forget to join my facebook fan page if you frequent facebook. When the fan list hits 100 I will be making and exclusive kit for everybody there.


Happy Scrapping! :)

November is drawing to a close ....

Christmas is getting ever closer .... a busy time for a lot of scrappers that make personalised gifts. Then there are other things like personalised christmas cards, tags ... the list is endless. Living outside the USA it can get a bit expensive ordering personalised gifts. The cost of the item is high or you are slugged with $20 postage per book/item/etc. Last christmas I ordered books and calendars from Artscow and was pretty happy with them. They charge a flat fee postage, but I have found it is extemely worthwhile when the item itself is discounted or free.

Here is the latest offer I have found from Artscow. You have a month to use the credits after you validate them. They are made in Hong Kong and wear well as they stitch the book rather than gluing. I have made several of these books and they have upgraded their printing since then.


Redeem 12 Free Hardcover Photo Books - 3 Days Remaining


With family gatherings a tradition of the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, there will be plenty of opportunities to get snap happy with your camera. Capture the moments of family warmth and happiness and get them printed on professional quality photo books.

Last Day for Gotta Grab it Bargains.

Last chance to grab these beauties at an insane $1 each.

Photobucket

Ice so cold and clear on a crisp wintery morning.
Ice Ice is a frosty clear alpha that is ever so slightly transparent.. A perfect choice for winter or christmas projects, this alpha includes the usual upper/lower/numeric plus a myriad of special and accented characters. Large enough for bold page titles, but easily scaled down to suit your needs.

Size on preview as shown to scale of 12x12 inch page.

Please click the image to go to the product's detailed images to see all included international characters.

Photobucket

New things becomes loved and worn. Wonderful memories sparkle, shine and make us smile. To remember, to love, to live that moment once more in the rosey glow of nostalgia.

Contents:

5 papers including 1 solid (see detailed images for a closer look)

15 Elements

A little bird twitters in the depths of the cool shade trees as butterflies flit past your nose. My secret garden is magical, with the deepest purples, earthy browns and sparkly shine.

Contents:

5 papers including mixed media and solids (see detailed images below for a closer look)

15 Elements.

You have until the end of the day store time to grab these before they are reverted to full price.
