A GREAT resource, GREAT contests.....and A GREAT CAUSE!!!

Did you know that WACOM has a site that is geared towards DIGISCRAPPING???

It's a great site and there are TONS of resources and tutorials!!They are always having contests and giveaways....be sure to check them out... Below you will find information on their latest contests.....

During the month of October, the Wacom Pen Scrappers website is sponsoring a special contest called “Season of Hope” commemorating everyone whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Lori Barnhurst designed this beautiful kit in remembrance of her grandmother, who battled breast cancer most of her adult life, and died about 10 years ago from complications from a relapse.

Wacom will be making a donation to the Oregon and SW Washington affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to honor each person who enters the Season of Hope contest. The Grand Prize winner will also take home a big prize package including: a Bamboo Craft, and special gifts from Shutterfly, Jessica Sprague, Scrap Orchard, Anna Aspnes, iStock and more! And there’s more: everyone who enters this contest will receive a very special 16x20” poster collage from Shutterfly.

Enter the Season of Hope contest http://www.penscrappers.com/ I know that this is posted on the main page of our blog, our store, and our site....But it's a really good way to support BREAST CANCER AWARENESS....I want to make sure that the word gets out.....

As part of Wacom's charitable giving effort this year, we have partnered with the Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We're excited to involve our customers by making a donation for every Bamboo Craft sold in North America from now until December 25th, 2010. A percentage of proceeds from every unit will be donated to support the Susan G. Komen organization in their effort to create "a world without breast cancer."

It's been awhile

Wow, it has been a tremendous amount of time since I have blogged....or really done anything scrap related. My "REAL" life so got in the way....so first and foremost, I apologize for just dropping the ball with EVERYTHING.

I had a lot of very personal issues come up and it just forced me to basically ignore my scrapping and digital "life".

I think that everything is squared away and back to normal (if it ever was :) ) For right now, I will be working on getting my Scraps with a Mouse store all up and going again....and work on getting rid of a bunch of spam that crept in the gallery, forum, and even the store. Right now this is the only store that I will be at, and for the time being, I will be the only designer.

I will be looking to expand the store and bring in new designers and team members, but I want to make sure that I have everything up and running smoothly first.

Thanks to all that have been there for me and I look forward to a better year!!!

Happy Scrapping!!!
