Oh me.. oh my... oh Monday...

It's hard to believe it's Monday again already. Last week saw some new challenges in the Treasures To Scrap forums. You really need to check them out. There are element challenges and heritage challenges plus many many more. Each challenge you complete will earn you a token which gives you a chance to win a prize at the end of the month.

The LOTW winner has been announced as well. You voted, and the winner is.... Kimberly with her page titled "Time for Changes". This is such a fun page. Definitely a good choice. Congratulations to all the other who were selected for LOTD last week. You all did wonderful jobs!

The past week also showed us some wonderful new products in the store. Check out the ad so wonderfully created by my fellow CT member Kabra.

Now on to one of my favorite things. The Featured Digital Designer. This month the designer is Scrappin Nut Designs. Let me tell you this lady does such a wonderful job on the designs. I absolutely loved working with her kits. I think my absolute favorite I have been able to work with so far is the Royal Beauty Mega Pack. This kit has so much depth it's amazing. I can't wait for you to see what I have done with it.

You definitely need to swing by  the Scrappin Nut Designs gallery of TTS and see some of the other wonderful things that people have created using her designs. The trip will be well worth it and you will probably love them as much as I do when you use the designs yourself.

The last note we have today is a reminder for the chat we host this Thursday. The chat starts at 9PM eastern time and will feature a bingo game. Not only that, you get a chance to win prizes and are guaranteed one token just for showing up! How can you beat that?! Hope to see you there!

Happy Scrappin!

Once again, there were several New Products added at the TTS Store this week. Here's a peek at what you will find new in the digital store this week.



Congratulations to marti11 for her fabulous Little Angel which was selected as the Layout of the Day. This layout is just simple adorable. The combination of a fantastic photo and the wonderful elements makes this a lovely page. And, voting is currently underway for the Layout of the Week!!! Be sure to cast your vote and check back on Monday to find out which LOTD selection has been voted LOTW!!!!

I don't know about where you are, but the weather is really nasty here today - we even had some sleet and snow this morning!!! There's a big pot of chili cooking in the kitchen, so today is a perfect day to spend scrapping to my hearts content. If you have not already picked up Fabella's April Template, it is not too late to do so and post your layout for us to enjoy!!! There's currently a number of challenges running - you can see what is in the works in the Challenge Coast part of the TTS Forum.

The Friday Kit of the Day was Aggregates and Iggitates by Deanna Patterson. You can read about this fabulous kit and see some layouts created with it in the Shark Bait of the Day area of the TTS Forum.



I think that about wraps it up for today - hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
