60% Black Friday Sale!

First I want to apologize for not posting for a while. I've been sick since last week and am surprised at the amount of time I was actually able to stay in bed. I've had a lot of things to get caught back up on and blogging is one of them.

I'm hoping all of my American readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving and if you went shopping today you were able to score some AMAZING deals. I was one of the crazy people shopping at 4am. We pretty much have all of our Christmas shopping done now except for a few little things to pick up before Christmas.

Still wanting to get some amazing deals on your digital supplies? Right now, my entire store is 60% off. This will probably be the only time you'll find my store this cheap! All of my personal kits are $2.00 and prices will be reflected at checkout. You'll have until Sunday 11/29 to shop.

I also released a new Cut It Out pack on Monday. These are also CU friendly with no credit required!




Here are some other goodies that you might want to check out in my store:





I have some exciting news coming up in December and also will be launching a new CT blog where you'll be able to get exclusive freebies, contests and challenges. Can't wait to let you all in on my little secret!

Still reading this? Here's a $1.00 off your entire purchase valid until 11/29/09. BLACK_FRIDAY

Happy shopping!

Contest Winners!!!

To the TWO people that responded to my contest, please email me at sbennettdesigns @ gmail . com. I'll send your coupon codes later today :)

Something that I consider to be a daily constant in my life is the internet. I don't know what I'd do without it. As a SAHM it's my connection to the outside world. My hobbies, friendships and job depend on me staying connected. I don't know what I'd do without it!

With that being said, here's my contribution to this blog train. This link will only be active until 11:59pm on 11/12. After that, all these goodies will be packaged up and sold in the store.

So I'm writing this Friday night because there is no way I'm waking up early enough to get this monster of a blog post done before noon! It's Digital Scrapbooking Day!!! Here's the DSD 2009 Grab Bag now available in my shop. I'm blown away with all the layouts my personal CT and the Funky Playground CT have made with this! Seriously, this bag is perfect for both girls and boys and geared for everyday use.

The designers at the Playground have also put out coordinating samplers that are perfectly funky! I've posted my portion below.

I have a lot to tell you and there's FREEBIES involved!

You're not used to seeing me post so frequently are you? lol. I know there are a TON of things going on this weekend and it's probably going to be hard to keep up with it all. I have this feeling that I'm going to miss something huge! I'm hoping not, but I'm going to have to sleep sometime!

Don't forget that I have a big sale this weekend at Funky Playground. 50% off everything in my store excluding my new grab bag coming out tomorrow.



So I just can't keep this bag a secret any longer! Here's a sneak peek at the bag! Well I guess it's technically a full peek at the bag. You'll get 5 brand new coordinating products for only $3.00!! That's a steal if you ask me. I will reveal the contents in the product description if you don't like the surprise of a grab bag. I know I don't. :) I'm hoping you'll love this as much as I do! AND I've included a coupon code inside the bag on a future purchase! I'm telling you DSD is almost as good as Christmas!


ScrapMatters is also having a HUGE sale! And if you spend $15 in the store you'll get this seriously AWESOME collab kit for free! Tomorrow there will be one HUGE blog train with a ton of coordinating goodies!




I'm am truly lucky and privileged to be on some of the best designers CT's! Erica Zane has released her first ever grab bag and here's a page I made with it. Love this bag and will be using it more than once. You can check it out HERE


She has also release Follow the Rainbow today as well. This kit is so bright and fun. I just loved seeing everything in it. There is also a coordinating flair pack. You can check out this kit HERE


Britt-ish Designs also has an awesome grab bag out today. There is so much usable stuff in there. I a definite must have for your scrapping stash. You can find it HERE


Being on ScrapMatters CT, I was able to play with some other goodies that came out today. You'll definately want to check out Pressed Petals grab bag HERE


I also worked with Chelle's Creations With Thankful Hearts kit that you can find HERE


There was seriously so much goodness at ScrapMatters today, I had a hard time choosing what to scrap with! If only there were more hours in the day {that my kids were sleeping}

I said there were freebies involved in this post didn't I? Well, they're not mine, but some members of my CT also like to give away freebies! Click on the images to go to their blogs. If you download something, leave em some love!







Hope everyone has fun shopping today and tomorrow! I can't decide what I NEED to have. I'll be back tomorrow with some more goodies :)

Don't forget about the contest I have going on here. Read the post below for more information!

There will be lots of contests and special events everywhere this weekend and I would love if you would join me for a speed scrap at ScrapMatters on Saturday night at 9:30 pm EST. I love being on the ScrapMatters creative team and I LOVE the speed scraps. This will give you an opportunity to scrap with some of the awesome purchases you made! You can find out more information in THIS thread.

Create a layout in the specified time and get this wonderful participation prize from MickeyD!


I did title this post with the word contest didn't I? Here's all you have to do. Go to my store and tell me what PU item you'd LOVE to have. Leave me a comment in this post telling me which kit or item you love the most and Saturday I'll choose 2 winners who will walk away with not only that item, but my grab bag as well! Everyone else will receive a coupon for playing along. I will only accept replies that have products in them. If you just post, "thanks for the chance", you'll be disqualified. Easy enough, right?

Stay tuned for some great things coming up this weekend. There will be a couple of blog trains passing through here and maybe just even another freebie :)

Oh, one last thing, if you haven't became my fan on Facebook then you're missing out on an awesome contest. I'll be giving away some grab bags TODAY!

New Release and a freebie!

First of all I want to start this post talking about Digital Scrapbooking Day. Are you ready for it? I'm getting so excited and I'm fortunate enough to know some of the goodness going on this Saturday.



There will be more information revealed later on this week. You will also find TONS of stuff going on at the Playground next Saturday as well. Let me just tell you there is going to be a HUGE sale and I mean huge! My creative team and I have also put together a little something special for you all as well that we will reveal on Saturday. If you haven't bookmarked my blog, now is the time. Tons of great stuff (and freebies) coming up this week! I'm also working on some new goodies for DSD!

I also released my newest kit today. Sister Sue is one of the many nicknames my daughter has. I just started calling her that one day and it kind of stuck. This kit reminds me a lot of her. There's a little bit of sass thrown in with a whole bunch of fun. You can pick this up today at 20% off! There is also a coordinating add-on at the end of this post AND my creative team member Amy has made a little freebie as well!


Here's some layouts my personal CT and the FPD CT have made:
