Pickleberrypop Buzz.

Have you heard about the latest buzz at Pickleberrypop? Here's the good news you don't want to pass up...Coralie Designs is debuting there and all her products are 25% off on her grand opening sale starting now through the 20th!


I checked out her store and oh boy, who couldn't resist these products.

Hot Finds: Shabby Cottage

I'll be starting a new tag in this digiscrapping nook and I'll label it as Hot Finds. Every now and then, I'll be featuring my recent digiscrapping stuff discoveries - whether it's a purchase or just a freebie..and I shall also post my layout/s on which I used the said stuff.

So with my first one, here's Shabby Cottage which is the very first site collab of the ShabbyPickleDesigns designers. Check it out now as it's for sale at 60% off its regular price.

Here's the layout I did with this fantabulous kit:

Title: To Kiss



Meanwhile I'll go ahead and search for techie and gadgets themed kit which I'll use to scrap my Father's Day layout for my dear hubby. Anyone knows where I can buy element packs with playstation 3, computers, iPods, cellphones, etc?

Post-NSD Sales.

I was googling for discount furniture when I stumbled upon digital scrapbooking shops having post-National Scrapbooking Day sales.

If you failed to snag these during the NSD, you better grab them now. This kit from We Are Storytellers is marked down 78% off while this element from the same shop is marked down at 50% off.

(I'm having trouble uploading the preview images so please just click on the links.)

My apologies for enabling..I just can't help sharing this. Isn't this a good post -NSD loot?

NSD This Weekend.

It's National Scrapbooking Day once again and what better way to celebrate it than shop with the biggest sales and discounts and participate in contests, chats and activities in the best digishops out there.

I am listing in here some of my fave shops where I have already filled my carts with kits...ready to hit the checkout button on NSD.

1. Kay Miller Designs - 30% off on May 1 - 3 (cart filled with 7 items)
2. Nitwit Collections - 30.5% off on May 2 - 3 (cart filled with 4 items)
3. Sweet Shoppe Designs - cart stuffed with 1 mega kit
4. The Lilypad - 30% off (cart filled with 4 items)

I have to cut the list or else my paypal gonna hurt big time.

WW Turns One.

Have you heard the latest news in the digiscrapping world? One of my favorite digital scrapbooking shops is turning one and they're going to celebrate it big. One lucky purchaser gets to win the entire store and several gift cards will also be given away to random winners as well. They will also hold several games, challenges and freebie showers. Now isn't that big? Check out the banner below for more details.


Speaking of digital scrapbooking, I haven't digiscrapped still since Asher's home. Being a first timer Mom, I'm still adjusting big time with all the Mommy duties and baby's demands that have to be met. I have several photos of Baby A waiting to be scrapped but those have to wait. Sale enabler alerts are flooding my inbox but I intentionally shy away from them (which actually pleases my paypal wallet). I still do download freebies once in a while though. The latest I got were papers with a design like these Duralee fabrics. Aren't they lovely?

Missing the TnT.

I can't believe that I missed ScrapArtist's Totally New Tuesday! Arggh! I checked out their new releases and it breaks my heart that I missed their mark-down 20% discount sale that is good for Tuesday only. I better schedule this on my organizer so I won't miss next week's TnT.

The Secret Is Out.

For those digital scrapbookers like me, here's some good news from Computerscrapbook.com. Check out this downloadable e-book for the ultimate digital scrapbooking sites available on the web. No need to scour on your own as the secret is out..now that's a nice surprise, isn't it?

Now that Baby A and I have limited to scrap, I bet this will come handy during my digiscrapping time. It's debuting for $ 7.99 only. I'll have this one and let you know my comments.

Eve Recinella Retires.

Bad News: One of my SSD Designers is retiring.
Good News: She's having a 50% off Retirement Sale


Got a word from the weekly newsletter of Sweet Shoppe Designs that Eve is retiring. She has been one of my fave designers and in fact, my collection of digi kits and stuffs includes several of her works. Well, before I totally miss her creations, look what I stocked my shopping cart with:




Lately, most of my recent purchases are boy-themed kits and elements..well, it's time to stock them up in time for Baby A's arrival.

Black Friday & Weekend Sales.

Several digiscrapping shops also had their own Black Friday Sales, some even extending it over the weekend. I thought I could control myself, but nah, the impulsive buyer in me kicked in again. I just couldn’t resist buying from these stores: SSD, The Lilypad & Weeds & Wildflower Designs. I am still fiddling my kaboodle list but I’ll definitely post here soon pics of the loots I bought.

Black Weekend Sale.

Here’s another sale alert from ScrapArtist.com. Uh-oh smells like a holed-Paypal-purse coming up. I’m not sure or should I say I’ll try not to hover for long over the site or else I end up stocking my cart again with lots of goodies and couldn’t resist buying. Hmmm…control..control…control!

Got Some DSD Loots!

Whew! DSD is over but the mania isn’t yet with all the sales and games still going on. I succeeded in not giving into temptation of buying any new goodies. Anyhow, I still managed to tow away goodies by joining the games, raffles, and giveaway antics of generous souls in Digishoptalk Forum. Boy, it was a blast! I already took home 2 loots courtesy of Pinay Digi-designer Gretch of She’s Full of Scrap and Tangie Baxter. I’m still awaiting and keeping my fingers crossed for the other games that I joined in. Hope I get to win at SSD, Weeds and Wildflowers, Two Sisters Beauty Marks and the $25 GC Teresa Ferguson RAK. Wish me luck!

Digital Scrapbooking Day.

Digital Scrappers from around the world is celebrating today the premier Digital Scrapbooking Day! Wow…sales, freebies, contests and challenges, chats…I’m sure a lot of my fellow digiscrappers are pumped up today to scour all their favorite shops and digiscrapping sites. Too bad, I’m broke…I can’t shop for new kits and other digiscrapping goodies that I’ve been drooling over. Anyway, I’ve started doing paid blogging again so hopefully by next month I have enough cash to spend. By the way, check out this site for schedule of happenings today and also the official site of DSD.

National Scrapbooking Day.

Four days to go ‘til the National Scrapbooking Day!

Just a backgrounder, it was started by a well-known supplier of photo-safe scrapbooking products, Creative Memories, and this is being observed since 1994. For years, scrapbookers worldwide celebrate their passion for scrapbooking (traditional and digital) on this day.

I can’t wait for what the digiscrapping sites have in store for all the digiscrap enthusiasts like me. I’ve scoured my favorite digiscrapping sites and I got these teasers.
