New Store, Sale and a Grab Bag

I was looking back through my gallery the other day at ScrapMatters before it closes and I started getting nostalgic. For the last five years that has been my main gallery, so all of my layouts are posted there. It was fun to look at how much I have grown as a scrapper since I first started. I started there when my youngest was a baby, so there are pages of her first few days all the way up to just a few months ago. It was neat to see how much she has grown. There were also a few pages there made me cringe when looking at them because they are not how I scrap now. It was like looking back at my paper scrapbooks and seeing all the pictures I cut with decorative scissors or into shapes. Thankfully, unlike the paper pages, the digital ones can be changed if I ever get to that point. Have you ever looked back through your gallery at all the pages you have created?

My store at Gotta Pixel is now officially open! To help celebrate my new store and Cyber Monday I have a new grab bag to show you today. This grab bag will only be available through December 5, so pick it up now before it gets broken apart. It includes 3 never before seen products at an awesome discount. It's an $11.97 value for only $4.50! That's over 60% off. You can see what is all included in the detailed pictures on the product page. Not only can you grab this there, but I have started uploading some of my other products at Gotta Pixel and they are 30% through Dec. 5.



Here is a page I created using this grab bag. Every Christmas Eve we give the kids new pajamas to wear to bed that night so they have them on for Christmas morning when we open gifts.



Until next time...Happy Scrapping!

DSD Weekend & grab bag

Happy DSD everyone! Hope everyone is having a great time so far. Check out the awesome sale that ScrapMatters is having this weekend! Save 40% off everything, excluding grab bags and bundles, in my store through Sunday!



I have this sweet grab bag available in the store. Grab it through Thursday for only $4.49! That's a whopping 70% off! It contains 4 full size products, which are revealed in the detail images in the store. The entire time I was working on this grab bag I had the song from Wreck-It Ralph going through my head. It could be because my youngest has decided that is her "favorite" movie right now so it has been playing a lot around here. It's just one of those songs though that also just seems to get stuck in your head.



The feature kit for November is Family Ties. Get it through November 30 for 25% off.



Don't forget to check out the Family Ties Family Tree Bundle that goes along with this kit, also. Use 10offFAMILY to get 10% off this bundle through November 30.



Here are some layouts my CT created using this kit.







Make sure to keep an eye on the ScrapMatters Facebook page, also for a couple coupons from me this weekend.

Until next time...Happy Scrapping!

Mixed Matters Grab Bag

I am so glad I'm not having to deal with having to take college classes anymore on a regular basis. I just finished up taking two grad classes last weekend, so I can renew my teaching license that expires in June. I forgot how not fun they are and how much work it takes to get them completed. Probably doesn't help that right now our schedule at home busy with volleyball and Tae Kwon Do tournaments for the older two about every weekend and practices during the week. The classes were due on Monday and I sent the last one off on Saturday just before the post office in town closed. Talk about being stressed out. But that is now behind me and I have another five years before I have to renew it again...this time I'm not waiting until the last minute to get all my hours done. (I'm pretty sure I said the same thing five years ago, but apparently didn't listen to myself.) So that is what I have basically been up to the last six week while my blog has sat here feeling lonely and neglected once again. But I'm back now and hope to be able to post a little more often.

April's featured kit is Twitterpated. You can pick it up through the end of April for 25% off!



It's Mixed Matters time again at ScrapMatters! This time I teamed up with Jennifer Labre, Down This Road Designs and Memory Clips to bring you this fun grab bag. It is only available through Thursday. After that the bag will be broken apart. Products revealed in the shop detail images.



Check out these pages from my CT and the ScrapMatters' CT using the products from the grab bag.

Black Friday Grab Bag

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and was able to spend it with their family and friends. I would like to thank everyone for being such great customers over the past year and look forward to creating more great products for you to use to scrap your memories in the coming year. 

I don't know if you are a Black Friday shopper or not, but I have really become one over the last 4 years. I had never gone Black Friday shopping until 4 years ago when I found a digital camera at Walmart that I wanted to get my oldest for Christmas. I had wanted to go before, but could never find anyone to go with me or watch my kids. That year while at Thanksgiving with my mother-in-law's family all of us ladies decided we would go. It just so happened that Paul was going to actually be home that weekend, too. Normally he would have to take off with a load of livestock either Thursday night or early Friday morning, but we had decided to have a date night Friday night so he stayed home. This was also the first year that Toys R Us opened at midnight. That year I managed to stay up for a total of 40 hours! Spending a good majority of it shopping. Ever since that year I have kind of become hooked. I've not done too bad on getting some great deals, but this year has been the best so far. I've gotten basically everything I have wanted to get, including new flooring for my kitchen! :) After 13 years of having carpet in my kitchen I will soon be able to get rid of it. So excited! Let's just say that having carpet in the kitchen with 3 kids and a husband that tends to get oil and grease on his shoes at work and doesn't always take them off before walking into the kitchen is NOT a good idea. It was one of the first things I wanted to change in this house when we moved in, but we have never gotten around to it. Now if I could just magically make it bigger so we could put in an island, I might just like it. lol. 

If you like getting great deals check out this bright, fun grab bag that I released this week at ScrapMatters. You get 3 full size products for only $3.99! But hurry though because just like Black Friday doorbusters this grab bag won't be around for long. It is only available through Nov. 29. After that it will be broken up and the individual pieces will be available in my store. 

Check out what you all get in this fun grab bag!







If that wasn't a big enough deal the rest of my ScrapMatters' store (excluding bundles) is also on sale! Plus just a little hint check out the Flash Sale on Sunday night around 6 pm EST. ;)



Until next time...Happy Scrapping!

Black Friday Grab Bag

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving this year. We spent the day with Paul's mom's family and had a nice quiet evening at home with just us. I don't think we have done that at all in the 12 years we have been married. I had thought about heading out to do some Black Friday shopping at midnight but decided that I wasn't that ambitious this year, especially since I knew I had a cake to make to take to Paul's cousin's house tonight for a post Thanksgiving party. He decided to go with a Hawaiian theme this year and I'm still not sure how I'm going to decorate the cake. Hopefully something comes to me soon. :)

This week I have this fun grab bag available at ScrapMatters. It's only available until Thursday, Dec. 1 and then will be broken apart and the pieces will be sold individually. It's the perfect kit to scrap a fun winter day or even a trip to the zoo or aquarium.



Here's a look at what is inside:









Until next time...Happy Scrapping!

Well it's finally here! I'm finally guesting at ScrapMatters this month! Can't wait to show you what I have releasing this week for Digital Scrapbook Day.First though I have a little announcement. :) I've decided to shorten my design name to MHK Scraps. Over the next couple weeks I will be working on changing my blog design, so if it looks a little funny next time you visit don't worry it should be back to normal very soon. Now unto the fun stuff!

I had so much fun making this grab bag. It contains a full size kit, alpha and cardstock pack. It is available in my ScrapMatters guest store until November 10. After that it will be broken up and you will be able to get each piece individually.



Over the next couple months I have a lot of exciting things going on so make sure to sign up for my newsletter, "like" my facebook page and subscribe to my blog so you don't miss anything.
