It is so hard to believe that it is May almost over!!! Where did that month go? As June approaches not only does my mind turn to those hot days of summer, but I can't help but get excited about the upcoming month at TTS - I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the Birthday Month!!!! Look for future announcements regarding this celebration!!!

New Releases at TTS!!!
First, there are several New Releases this week at Treasures To Scrap. Whether you are looking for some fabulous tools or a slightly "retro" page kit you will find it in the New Release Section at Treasures to Scrap.



Here's a page I created using one of the new products this week - I couldn't resist using it to scrap a page of old photos I had from a family vacation from the early 80's!!



TTS Gallery
Speaking of the TTS Gallery, have you seen all the fabulous layouts posted there? Why not stop by and take a look and leave a little lovin' along the way? Your fellow scrappers always feel special and look forward to your comments!!! Looking through the gallery is a fabulous way to get ideas for that next project too!!!

And to think it is already Memorial Day Weekend - graduation was last week here and the kids are out of school. I'm also starting to feel really old, my dh and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary this week - and they told us it would never last - LOL!!!

At TTS, there have been several new releases this week. Whether you are looking for kits or digital scrapping "tools", you will find it in the new releases this week.

Well, since the last time I updated the Treasures To Scrap Blog, there are been some big changes!!! First, you will notice that the blog is in the process of getting a new spring look!! The colors have changed a bit and some of the links have been updated. This is an on-going process, so look for other changes in days to come.

Updated Designer Blinkie
There have been a number of designers who have joined TTS. And as such, the designer blinkie that many of you sport has been updated!!! You do not have to make any changes to your siggies, the new blinkie automatically replaced the old one!!! If you are not wearing the TTS Designer Blinkie, you can snag it here!!!



New Releases
If you have been away for a while, you will definitely want to check out the New Releases at TTS. With the birth of my first grandchild, I have been a little "pre-occupied" and I did not realize until today how many fun, new products were in the digital store. I do feel a shopping spree coming on!!!!



Treasures Of The Sea
First, we need to recognize last week's Layout Of The Week - drum roll please - Kate's Rock A Bye Baby was voted the winner last week.

This week's Layout of the Day selections are:
5/13 - Jacinda's My First Bracket Album
5/14 - Danesa's Tanglewood Park
5/16 - hutchie's Baby Lainie Ryan

While voting has not yet opened up for this week's LOTW vote, you can check the Treasures of the Sea thread in the forum later today for that opportunity.

Well, I think that about covers it for today!!! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!!

Here is a page that I created using the May TTS Treasure Chest.


New Products For The Week
When I got ready to create the ad for the new releases this week, I had no idea how busy the TTS designers had been!!! There is just SSSOO many new things in the store, you will just have to see it for yourself.



NDS Digital Designer Specials
In honor of NDS, several of the TTS Designers are running specials. There are two places where you can see what is being offered. First, you can check out the "Specials" in the digital store. Also, you might want to get into the habit of checking the Digi Hut News in the TTS Forum. The designers not only list their new products but any specials that they choose to run!!!

NDS Paper Store Special
Tracy has a Special Offering from the Paper Store for NDS. With every $10 purchase made your name is put into a drawing for a grand prize of an organizer tote full to the brim of wonderful scrapping supplies... so the more you spend the more you have a chance to win. Good from Friday May 2nd to Sunday May 4th. For shoppers that spend a $100 or more we will be throwing in a tote just for you to go with your order. RAK's all weekend long both in the store and online through pm's!!!
