And check out this awesome new kit that I have exclusively at Funky Playground Designs this month! It's on sale for just $3 all month!!



Sales!
If you haven't grabbed my Summer Collection yet it's still on sale for just $10 only at my Scrapbook-Bytes Store!


Meet the Designer!

So I've decided to have a series of posts so that you could "meet" all of my CT members. So I figured while I was at it I should probably do one of these posts for myself to kick it all off!
I decided in my photo to introduce you to my whole family! That's myself, my husband Alex, and our two boys Gavin (7 yrs old) and Dylan (7 months old) at the Pumpkin Farm in October!

And now for the interview:

1. When did you start digital scrapbooking?
December 2007 I made my first scrapbook page and I started downloading 5 million freebies so much that by July '08 my hard drive on my laptop was so full that Alex went out and bought me an external hard drive. Once I had that hard drive I started scrapping full force and never looked back!

2. What inspired you to start?
I have been paper scrapping since I was in high school my mom and I were actually Creative Memories Consultants (together) when I was a Junior in high school. It just came naturally to me with a young child that I needed a way to scrap but not make such a huge mess!

3. What is your favorite subject to scrap about?
I love to scrap about my 2 boys! They are my pride and joy!

4. How would you describe your scrapping style?
Cluster junkie! Is that a style? I love to cluster so much that sometimes I have issues stopping myself and then my page looks like a bunch of elements threw up all over it! Then I go back and reign it in a bit!

5. When and where do you usually do your scrapping?
I had been getting really bad about setting aside time to scrap and not just design. So Talia (my head ct ... you will "meet" her next!) told me that if I set aside 1 night a week to scrap that she would scrap and chat with me. It's like our own little crop lol. So every Thursday night I scrap. Usually I'm on the couch in our living room as I have a laptop and can scrap wherever I want!

6. What do you have to have while your scrapping? Snacks? Music?
I need some sort of drink while I'm scrapping usually a coke or a pepsi!

7. What do enjoy most about scrapping? What's the most challenging part for you?
I love that when I find an awesome kit I can use it over and over again. I also love that I can capture all of my families memories with the photos that we take. The most challenging part for me is sometimes I struggle with journaling and trying to hard not to make my journaling sound cheesey lol. Talia would tell you that I also struggle with getting myself on tot those scrapbook pages!

8. What's your favorite layout with a Danimoy Designs kit?
My Current favorite is "Fall" which was made with Happy Fallday a Duo-licious (A+ Designs and danimoy designs) Collab


Here's the whole kit if you've missed it! And it is currently on sale for just $2! So head on over and snag this little beauty up!
(image linked to store)

So stay tuned latter this week to Meet Talia my Head CT and in the coming weeks to meet the rest of my awesome Creative Team!

Also just a teaser I'm going to be a Guest Designer in December so stay tuned tomorrow to find out where?!?

Good Deals!

I think I actually got all my shopping done in one day this week!! Although if another amazing deal comes up I may still go get it and I do still have to go to the larger Rite Aid because the one I went to is small and only had some of the stuff I wanted.

Rite Aid:
Oh the fiasco! 1st I forgot my +Up Rewards from last week! Then there were issues with the +Up Rewards printing. Evidently the Crest Tooth Pastes and Oral B tooth brushes that are on sale for $2.99 with +Up Rewards of $2.99 only allow you one +Up Rewards. I tried to buy 5 tubes of tooth paste and 3 tooth brushes because I also had $1/1 Coupons for them but then only 1 of the + Up Rewards printed so the manager had me return the others and see if she could get them to print by doing multiple transactions but that didn't work. When she did the refund tho she gave me back the full price $2.99 instead of $1.99 (which is what I payed) so I actually made like $7 cash. This totally wasn't my intention I just wanted the free tooth paste and brushes to make $1 in +Up rewards but oh well. By this point I was totally confused by what was going on.
So here's what I actually did end up bringing home:
2 Boxes Garnier Nutrisse Hair Dye $5.99 each
(yes I will be dieing no it wont be that light lol)
2 $3/1 MF Coupons
$2/1 October VV Coupon
$2/1 November VV Coupon
(So they were $.99 each but it will take me 2 boxes probably to dye my mop of hair)
Garnier Fructis Color Shield Conditioner $7.49
(not pictured this was for my sister not me)
$1/1 MF Coupon
$1/1 VV Coupon
($5.49 for the big bottle we were going to get the smaller one but it would have made the transaction $.02 short to get the $5 +Up Rewards and Marshelle wanted the big one anyways.)
1 Crest Whitening Plus Scope Outlast Tooth Paste $2.99
(not pictured gave it to my mom cause she needed toothpaste lol)
$1/1 Coupon
2 Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste $3.49
2 $1/1 Coupon

Total should have been $11.95 before tax
but with all the mix up with returns and coupons it was $8.84
Earned: 12.99 in +Up Rewards

I need to go to the big Rite Aid and get the Nivea Men's Active 3 Body Wash for free and check out the Sundown and Natures Bounty Vitamins to see if they have what I need, fingers crossed.

It's hard to say what I saved because of the way the transactions worked out. If I had to make a guess I would say like $17.00.
If I had been able to do what I wanted it would have been $40 and I would have a ton more +Up Rewards (like an extra $20.93 in +Up Rewards when I had Spent $24.88 So I should have made $9.04 on the purchase ... stupid Rite Aid)
