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

2009-11-28T06:08:00.003+10:00

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! :)

It's Tuesday ... you know what that means :)

2009-11-25T07:00:00.002+10:00

More $1 Pixel bargains. A cute $1 kit for designers, a baby themed kit, gorgeous girly kit and a elegant paper pack that is an excellent staple item for your scrapping stash. Grab them here

Happy Scrapping! :)

November is drawing to a close ....

2009-11-23T10:34:00.004+10:00

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.

Lasting for just 5 days, you can now redeem 12 FREE 8” x 8” HARDCOVER PHOTO BOOKS*. Simply validate the code shown below to receive your complimentary photo books.

Coupon Code: FREE8X8BKS
Expires on: 11/26/2009

*Consists six each of 20-paged and 39-paged books respectively. Free credits expire 1 month after validation. Shipping fees apply.

Spread the festive joy among family and friends.

Shipping is $7.99 for the 20 page book or $11.99 for the 39 page book.
If you order before November 30th they are saying that it will arrive before christmas.

Happy Scrapping! :)

Last Day for Gotta Grab it Bargains.

2009-11-18T05:24:00.002+10:00

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

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.

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.

Happy Scrapping! :)

I just had to share this layout.

2009-11-15T09:22:00.003+10:00

Thankyou so much for sharing this beautiful layout Elisa!

If anybody else has a gorgeous layout that they would love to share, please feel free to contact me cherieshields@gmail.com.

Just for the boys :) Boyzown

2009-10-10T11:29:00.002+10:00

Created with the mums of boys in mind ... I know how hard it is to look wistfully at all those pretty flowery kits and not be able to bring yourself to scrap your boy with them.

This kit was inspired by the "I'm nearly 6!" boy of the household. He is always coming home with interesting things in his pockets. We also find strange and wonderful things on our walks home from school. So here you will find a assembly of boy-ness with not a flower to be found and a boy-friendly colour palette.

(preview is linked to the store)

Check out these gorgeous layouts by Mieke

More goodies coming later today in my store.

Stay tuned and have fun scrapping :)
