Those who visited MyScrapShop.com last year will remember our new releases chat. As well as meeting many of the MSS designers, having a great chat (with a few games thrown in) chat participants got a sneak peek at our new releases for that week, prizes and fantastic giveaways.

The news? The chat is back! Make sure to visit MSS on February 5th for the first chat for 2009, there’s bound to be some great giveaways to mark the occasion.

Hi everyone! I hope you’re enjoying a great start to 2009. I have been crazy busy over the last month of 2008, but hopefully this post will make up for that .

I have a new release for you today that will make designing your Valentines (well any romatic) kits a breeze, plus a very special list of freebies.

These valentines day overlays are all PNG for maximum flexibility (white background for preview only).

They’re on sale for  just $2 for a limited time, and so don’t miss them. As usual with all my CU, no credit is required!

Today MSS is launching the first of what will become regular Blog Hops, and to kick it off with a bang with a CU blog hop! Yups, we’re giving you 12 CU freebies just for checking out our blogs. Here is mine, and you can find the next on the trail below. Don’t forget to check out the first one at the store blog for any special messages or coupons.

I hope you enjoy my CU freebie! [download expired]

Here in Australia we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but many of my US friends are looking forward to enjoying some time off with their family and friends. Of course, with Thanksgiving also comes Black Friday and SALES. I can’t let you in on all the bargains just yet, but make sure you visit www.myscrapshop.com and save yourself some serious scrapping cash.

Thank you to absolutely everyone who left me a comment on my freebie, purchased from me, downloaded my treasure hunt contribution, or just dropped by over DSD weekend! I don’t think I stopped for three days, but I enjoyed every minute of it. How was your DSD weekend?

The new November challenges have been kicked off at MyScrapShop.com this week. One of my favourites is the Design a Kit challenge, and this month it has a great neutrals color swatch. I love including dots somewhere in kits, and so in the spirit of creating ‘every day basics’ I’ve made a crumpled, dotty, kraft paper alpha. Of course, I’m sharing it with all of you too, you can download it below .

Well it’s (inter)national Digital Scrapbooking Day this weekend, and although it’s only just gone Friday in the US I have done way too much shopping already!

Speaking of shopping, today I launched three CU Christmas products, and with the 60% off sale at MyScrapShop.com, they’re all under $2.

Christmas Ball Action PLUS shaped overlays to glitter up, use a style or paper (avaliable in PNG also).

Build a Snowglobe PNG set. Bases come all seperates (18 pieces in 6 styles) so you can mix and match, plus a tutorial on how to shape your image to go inside (PSE and PS).

PNG Christmas Carol overlays, giving you flexibility to color your papers.

And to complete the Christmas theme, I have for you today a CU freebie Build a Christmas Stocking . This will only be free for the DSD weekend, so grab it now!
