Be sure to keep checking back, we have lots more fun planned this week!

It's Party Time!!!

Woo Hoo! Party time at Kiki's place.

Personally I think she just wanted to see how much stamina we all really had LOL. BTW, think mine is done :) Just kidding Kiki (shhhhh not really but don't tell her) It has been a blast preparing for all the activities and the week is just going to get better. So make sure you don't miss it. Every day there is something special and sometimes more than one thing. So don't miss even one day. We have all worked very hard to make YOU feel special this week, so

COME ON IN, RELAX, HAVE SOME FUN, DO A BIT OF SCRAPPIN', AND GET SOME FREEBIES!

Let's start this party off with a new kit. Damask Romance is soft, femine and ready for many types of LO's. And it's on sale all week! Plus remember, if you purchase it you will have many opportunities to get other free stuff with it. I can't say much because it's Top Secret, but I can say it's GREAT!

Pick this up at ScrapbookElements starting Sunday, Oct. 12.

I can tell you this much...it will come in handy this week!

And of course NO party is complete without the gifts!

Here's a QP I made that coordinates with Damask Romance

and I left plenty of room for your own personalization.

(Download expired). Don't forget to come back each and everyday this week for the rest of the goodies. You can still come by after this week too!

{Wow what a week planned!}

It's party time! I'm celebrating my second year as a digital designer!

There is so much that's going on this week, from Sunday, October 12th to October 18th, it's making me and my Creative Team, the Kokonuts, absolutely dizzy! We almost couldn't fit it all into one graphic. So I'll give some a breakdown of some of the events without giving it all away. You'll just have to pop in to see what's going to be happening next!

Everything at PDW and SUN = $2, and $2 off everything $3 and more at SBE

All week, my products over $3 at Scrapbook-Elements.com are going to be $2 off. So take advantage of that sale! You'll find some beautiful new kits like Damask Romance and Je Ne Sais Quoi.

And at my store at Plain Digital Wrapper and Sunshine Studio Scraps, every personal use product will be $2 or less. For the week. Wow! How crazy is that? It's time to stock up people!

Wait...it gets better!!! $10 GCs

Interested in spending $2 and getting money back? Yes, you read that right. Here's how it works.

At my stores at Plain Digital Wrapper and Sunshine Studio Scraps, every 10th completed sale from each store, that is the 10th order at PDW, and the 10th order at SUN, gets a $10 coupon for my products from that store.

Every tenth order. So, let's work this out. That's a 1 in 10 chance of getting $10 to spend on newer products that might be coming out later, or right away. The choice is yours. So don't miss out.

Now, what else is going on....oh yes. You'll want to be here, for at least a little visit, every day. You never know what you'll find to add your stash. *wink*

And there's going to be contests, challenges, and prizes galore! So don't miss out! Make sure you visit every day. Subscribe to my blog to be sure you know about changes. That way you won't miss out.

I know it's going to be a blast for us this week. Be here for the fun!

Hey everybody, seems we're a bit more on schedule this week. Kokonut Jacque here stealing Kiki's blog again LOL! I told you she had a new kit out and here it is "Je Ne Sais Quoi" I have to tell you as much as I love the sound of that name, for the life of me I can't remember how to spell it!!! Of course I didn't forget you and I have a freebie down at the bottom. Now I know you're thinking, if you give me a QP then I don't need to buy the kit. Well I didn't use everything, left lot's of open space, and the kit has a beautiful alpha to go with it as well. So get on over to Scrabook-Elements and pick up this great kit!

I almost forgot, Mara has got a great competition going on. She's going to be handing out a few free kits to some people who share the best "Temper Tantrum" stories. It can be your kids, pets, husband, you, anything. Just run over and give her your story. Don't have one? (Yeah right LOL) go over and let her know which stories you like best. What have you got to lose? Oh yeah, possible a free kit! Here is the thread.

Hi folks? Remember me? Kiki? These Kokonuts have been so busy with blogging, that I've hardly been able to squeeze myself in. :)

Well, here we are, almost at the end of another weekend. And it's been a busy one. One with a lot of rain, so I've stayed indoors creating. I've got a new alpha and paper pack in store at Plain Digital Wrapper, one that has been inspired by the cool, rainy, autumn weather we've had today.

Check out my Felty Fall Alpha, and Crushed Plums. Perfect for Autumn, right?

I think you'll find that these coordinate well together, and give a great rich grungy feel to your layouts. Check them out today. Also, watch my store at Plain Digital Wrapper closely this week. You never know when you'll find an amazing deal like, oh I don't know, 80% off sale? See you again soon!

Hi, everyone! It's Janel here representing Kiki's Kokonuts and welcome to the newest edition of our Saturday Challenge. I have decided to change it up a bit this week and make it a recipe challenge. So here is what your layout needs to include:

• One large circle (interpret that any way you choose)
• 3 frames (use however you choose)
• 1 flower

Here is my take on the challenge:

and these are the things I used: Barely There, Mum's High Tea and Pigtails and Popsicles

If you head on over to my blog, I made it easy for you to follow the recipe. I have a template for you! I didn't want to make it too easy, that is why I am not posting it here. LOL

Ok, so here is what you need to do:
Upload your LO's to your favorite online gallery, come back and post the link in the comments for this post by Friday, September 19th at midnight EST. If you aren't comfortable with that, you may post your LO on your blog or your photobucket account instead. Just make sure you link us up! We will choose a LO (using the random number generator) to win a $5 gift certificate. Here is the best part, the winner picks which one of Kiki’s shops you want to spend it in. Can I get a woo hoo??!! Which will it be Plain Digital Wrapper, Scrapbook-Elements, or Sunshine Studio Scraps?

We had one person who made if before the deadline, so they are last weeks winner. Congrats to Gracie and Fred's Grandma with her LO: Fun in the Jeep!


Hope we can get some more scrappers to join in the fun!!!

Get ready, get set....go scrap!

As promised, I have a beautiful QP for you from Kiki's kik "Cool Nights, Blue Sky"

Download Here

(small note, some colors have been altered and some of the intertwining I did)

Also, remember that Kiki has another new kit (told you she was busy) coming out tommorrow called, "Je Ne Sais Quoi". Isn't the name just so elegant. It will be exclusively at Scrapbook-Elements and I'm pretty sure you have a 48 hour sale on it. And of course, I've made a beatuiful QP to go with it. So make sure you come back and check it out.

Another day, another bunch of GREAT stuff! Kokonutty Jacque here again to fill you in on the happenings around here. Yes, we kinda missed a week. But that's what happens when you have a great designer working her little bottom off to bring you 3, yes 3 new kits. And of course our incredible CT members have been working equally hard trying to keep up with her and make some amazing LO's. Cool Nights, Blue Sky is the first in line for the new kits you'll be seeing coming up. Hurry up and grab it. There should be a challenge on the way! Also, a sneak peek into a freebie coming your way this weekend sometime you won't wanna miss.

So what do you think of this LO? Admit it, it's the best, it's awesome, etc. etc. Just kidding. But this is your sneak peek. The freebie coming your way goes is a QP that goes with the Cool Nights, Blue Sky kit and it just happens to look like the LO above, minus the adorable pics of my babies. Keep coming back, should be here no later than Sunday night, and with any luck much sooner.
