Some of you have seen my new kit, Some Gave All – and have heard that there would be a free add on!  It isn’t on the PPF blog yet, and I don’t want you to miss out, so I am putting it here on the CT blog until it is up at PPF. 

Here is the kit –

You can grab that in the store without the alpha and the add-on.  Or, if you aren’t able to do the challenge to get the alpha for free, you can grab it here with the alpha and the add-on.

Here is the add-on!

Grab it here for free during July!

And don’t forget to check out the challenge for July!  You will get this alpha free, just for participating!  (We have something else planned for those of you outside the US who might not have a need for this alpha.)

Have a great day!

Show us your fonts and get an alpha.  It’s that easy this month.  Everyone loves fonts.  I go nuts myself about every 2 months and download a whole bunch of new ones.   And it was no different for this challenge either.  There are 10 different fonts on this ad.

All you have to do for this challenge is match a font to the theme of your page.  Make sure that you link your page back to the CT blog and include the font name.  And as always, there will be a random drawing for a gift certificate to Heather’s store.  The winning layout will get at least $10 to play with, but if your page has 50% or more of products by Heather, will increase that gift certificate to $20.  And just for participating, you’ll get this new alpha that Heather made.

Don’t worry, if you’re not from the states we do have a contingency plan for you.

Here are some great free font sites that you may not be familiar with.

Lots going on with Heather and her CT right now.  New products, new layouts and June’s challenge.  Let’s start with A beautiful new alpha.  Alphas are like shoes, you can never have enough of them.  Here is Heather’s newest alpha- Savor the Rainbow.  You can pick it up here. 

Did you pick up the great grab bag for June yet?  This bag is awesome for your Summer vacation or beach photos.  It’s only available as a grab bag until June 11.  After that, it will be broken up and added to the store as individual items.

Look at the layout Armina did using items from the kit.  Isn’t it gorgeous!!!

 Don’t forget about the June CT challenge.  We made it super easy and one person will win a GC from Heather’s store.  It could be $10 or $20.  You can get more info here.

Make sure you check back to the CT blog often for new products, great challenges, giveaways and new layouts.

June is a busy month for Dad’s and grads and an occasional bride.  Since so many are so busy this month, we thought we’d make the June challenge quite easy for you.  Check it out.

Did you catch the part about how you can win $20 worth of goodies from Heather’s store?  Just use Heather’s stuff, well at least 50% of your layout, and that adds another $10 to the winning layout.  Easy, peasy.  Look at some of the layouts the Dirty Girls did of their dads, their kids dads or their dad in laws.

Don’t forget to link your pages here by June 21st.

I promised you a great challenge for NSD and I think that Heather’s girls have met that head on.

Here’s the 411 on this challenge.  It’s a brag book exchange.  Starting Friday May 2nd; at Heather’s store, her beautiful kit Quiet Day will be on sale for a ridiculously low price of only fifty cents.  That’s $.50.    The kit will be on sale until Sunday night at Midnight CST.  So not only do you get an amazing deal, but then you get a chance to get an incredible brag book out of it.

 Here’s the preview for Quiet Day.  So once you snag this beautiful kit, you design up to 4 pages for the brag book exchange.  The pages should be 4 X 6 size and saved in PNG file.  If you are unable to save in PNG then JPEG will be fine.  If you have access to a file sharing site such as 4shared, please zip your file, upload and send me the link.  If you do not have access, you can email me the JPEG file.  All zips or files should be emailed to carjaziscraps “at” gmail “dot” com no later than Sunday May 9th.  Please make sure that you put in the subject line of your email – Heather Manning Brag Book.  After the close date I will gather up all the files and email back the link for you to get your complete brag book.  The more who participate the more pages there will be.  Let me show you a few of the ones that Heather’s CT has done.

Aren’t they gorgeous.  And we want to see your pages too.  So we hope that you’ll take a few minutes from your busy NSD weekend and join us in this brag book exchange.

Did you hear?  Heather is hosting a chat at DST on Sat. night for National (international) Scrapping Day.  The chat will be at 9 pm EST in the chat room at DST.  Look at the fab participation kit Heather designed just for those who attend the chat.

Lil Tart is just the cutest!  And in addition to just hanging out and chatting, (which always moves fast at DST) there will be other goodies given away.

Also, because I can’t keep it in anymore…… here’s a sneek peak at her new collab kit.

It hits the stores on Friday along with Heather’s NSD sale.  Be sure to check back tomorrow for the CT girls NSD challenge.  It’s gonna be well worth it!!!!

It’s a new month and we have a new challenge here.  We decided to do a scraplift challenge this month. 

It’s easy this month.  Go crazy with the doodles.  Here’s a look at what we’re scraplifting.

 You can also see it at Heather’s gallery at Purple Paper Flowers. 

Post your layout at the gallery of your choice and then link it back to us here.  This challenge will run from March 1st to March 15th.  We will choose 2 random participants to receive a gift certificate to Heather’s store.  So let loose and color outside the lines.

Here are some of Heather’s creative ladies and their scraplifts of Heather’s Page.

Here’s one from Lilja. (Liljatr)

And from Andrea.  (Mrs.Boyer)

And here’s a great page from Mamapajama.

And from yours truly, a true stretch.

We hope you’ll join us in this scraplift.  It was a blast!!!

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum!  While here in the digi world we all hate pirates, everyone loves a good treasure hunt.  So look at what Heather and the other designers have cooked up for us all.  Click on the ad below to be taken to the link at DST.

Now, they have changed the rules a little bit in regards to choosing a winner.  It will be by random drawing not comments left on layouts.  Also, after you’ve posted your layout at DST, link it back here to be in a random drawing for Heather’s own little contest.  Also keep an eye out, there may also be a special blog challenge here too.

To celebrate this spectacular undertaking by the digi scrapping world, Heather’s also feeling generous and is having a SALE!!  That’s right, a sale. 50% off here entire store.  Woo Hoo and a bottle of rum.
