Welcome Scrapzillas

It is so nice to have you all here. I have a secret element for you. I have been blown away by all of the fabulous layouts that have been submitted so far that I thought to myself, "These ladies are kicking butt and taking names". The talent you ladies have is absolutely amazing. With that being said I wanted to really test your creativity. Here is my secret element for you.

Yep! It's a bone. I hear the gasp and groans, but I have faith in you  my Scrapzillas. I am super excited to see if any of you use my secret element and if you do what you come up with. I have no doubt that you ladies will ROCK this!

Love, Create and Be Happy!

New Releases and a Question

Today as usual is New Release day at Polka Dot Plum. Yesterday I teased you with a little peek of what is being released. Well here is the full Monty.

My newest kit is called Some Like it Hot. I live in Florida so I thought this was more than appropriate. The colors are rich, yet bright.

Here is some layouts that some of the great Sugar Plums over at Polka Dot Plum have made for your viewing pleasure.

Faye was on fire and came up with 2.

Next one is from Melanie

and Lime

Last but not least Elaine

Aren't the girls so talented.

Now for Kalo Designs. Stacy released Grow your Garden today.

How cute is that.

I told you would be blown away. I don't lie. I look out for my scrapping peeps.


Okay, now it is time for a question. How would you like to have a Bamboo Craft Tablet from Wacom? Or how about Art Rage Studio? Sounds good doesn't? Now what if I told you that you could get this all for doing something you already love to do. Scrapping. I mean, that is why you are here isn't it. You must and I mean MUST, sign up for Scrapzilla. There are a ton of great prizes! No eliminations and you will come out with lots of layouts. I'm telling you this is a win win contest. Run over there now. Sign up and get your avi on.
