Goodbye Spring!

I guess it's a time that many in the Northern Hemispere look forward to - Summer!!  After long, dreary winter days, I'm sure Summer and the long school vacation have to be welcomed with open arms.  Of course, here in the tropics, it's rarely winter and spring and autumn are practically non-existent.  I love when I travel overseas and the seasons are so obvious.  Well, Summer on the doorstep means one thing - "Goodbye Spring!"

This weekend the Studio is having a "Goodbye Spring!" Sale - 50% off the Spring category.  This is an awesome time to drop in and grab some fantastic products at a great saving.
You'll find my Spring products herehttp://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/zesty-designs/?features_hash=V49

I've had some new mini kits added to my store lately too...

Firstly there was "First Signs of Spring"

then there was "It's A New Day"

http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/personal-use/kits/its-a-new-day/

This weekend, I have added "Life Is A Book"

 I've also released a new Commercial Use ribbon pack - "CU Red Ribbons"

http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/commercial-use/elements/cu-red-ribbons/


I'm currently working on a new collaboration with my friend, Manu, of Manu Scraps.  We have a little way to go on it yet, but it's shaping up to be a really fun collection!  

I'm off to do a newsletter for my subscribers now.  If you haven't signed up yet, you'll miss the lovely free gift I'm including in this one (hint!)  and if you've missed my latest Facebook freebie, then maybe you need to drop by my fan page (Zesty Digi Designs) and grab that one as well...just saying...LOL

Have a great weekend and enjoy making memories.

iNSD CELEBRATIONS!

This would have to be one of the most significant weekends in the Digital Scrapbooking world - International Scrapbooking Day - May 2.  

Just about everywhere you look you will see designers having awesome sales; stores hosting special events and lots and lots of people shopping!!

I love that so many designers create products especially for this weekend and not only that...they sell them at almost give-away prices!!  Nothing beats that.  I'm going to be so pushed to make selections that fit my bank account and that's not easy when you live on a pretty fixed budget, but I'll sure try to get the best value for the products I buy.

It's a little while since I've posted but hey...there is BIG NEWS!!  

DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING STUDIO has a brand new store and it's GORGEOUS and AMAZING! It has really taken the whole digital scrapbooking shopping experience to an entirely new level.  We've only been open for a few days but everyone has done their very best to have their products ready for this weekend.  It's not just iNSD for us - it's our GRAND RE-OPENING and we are super excited to be able to bring our customers inside to see all the wonderful new features.  One of the greatest things is being able to shop by COLOR!  There are lots of other awesome search features as well.  Definitely take the time to look around!  Our EU customers can shop now as well - that is such good news!!  

(Returning customers may need to reset their passwords before they shop.  There are a few little wrinkles in our new software, but our admin team are working very long hours to have everything working perfectly.  They just ask for a little patience in the process.)

To celebrate we are having a 50% off storewide SALE



I teamed up with my long time friend, Manu of Manu Scraps, to bring together this great 
There are six full size packs and for a limited time only, it is available for $6.00 - that's a HUGE saving off the regular pack prices.  Each pack will be available in store as an individual product once we open our Grab Bag.  Don't miss this fabulous iNSD offer!
Take a closer look at the packs inside:







I think you'll agree that this is an outstanding Grab Bag for $6.00!!

This is also available in our other store:  Daisies And Dimples 

DAISIES AND DIMPLES is also having great iNSD celebrations this weekend.  Check out their Facebook Hop and other exciting events.   

I have a 50% off sale in my store at Daisies and Dimples this weekend too - May 1-4!

Now what is left to do this weekend?  Shop, shop, shop...of course!

Have a great weekend - find lots of bargains - have fun!!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!!

News and Events - Big Bargains!!

There is so much happening just now...I just have to let you in on all the latest from my stores.

As I wrote in my previous post, Digital Scrapbooking Studio is going to be a whole new shopping experience, in just a couple of weeks' time.  While we change over to the new software, the store will be 'down' for a minimum of three days.  (Please refer to my previous post for an idea of the timeline for the change to our new look store.)  We are sooo excited about the possibilities that this new software is going to open up for us all - the designers and the customers.  The anticipation is HUGE!

Right now, though, the beginning of April means our Spring Coordinated Collection has been released.  We only have these four times a year, so if you've been waiting for the Spring one to be revealed, it's here!  You have over 140 packs to choose from - all created from the same palette - and just $1.00 per pack!  This is absolutely amazing value.  Of course, this is for a limited time only, so take advantage now, before the shop closes for our 'refit'. These will be back after the new store opens, but at the regular price.

SPRING COORDINATED COLLECTION - the theme is MARKET FRESH

I took a "Cotters Market" theme for mine because where I live we have a Cotters Market in the Mall in the centre of town each Sunday morning.  We also have Night Markets during the cooler months of the year too, that some of the same stall holders sell at.  We love our Markets and the wonderfully unique products that can be bought there.  Local crafts people and artisans have their wares displayed and it would be very rare not to be able to find the perfect gift for someone you need to buy for - or just something that you love, for your own home.  As well as all the beautifully crafted wooden and pottery items, there are numerous jewellery stalls, many with hand strung bead necklaces, bracelets and earrings.  There are hand sewn, knitted or crochet products as well to choose from.  The markets would not be complete without home baked goodies, jams, sweets and preserves as well as locally grown produce, organic fruit, vegetables and honey, flowers and plants.  Yes, we really love our Markets where you find things that are original, fresh and GOOD!  So comes my "Cotters Market" collection.  Just $1 per pack for now.  You'll find this collection here.

Take a look:
Element Pack 1 - 51 elements in this one.

Element Pack 2 - 52 elements in this one.

The Papers - 16 papers.





Solid Textured Papers - 12 papers

Word Art Banners - 14 word art and 1 blank




Photo Masks - 5 masks

Here are a couple of pages created by my CT girls:

Barbara created this one
Marlyn did this one




and Robyn made this one






Okay, enough about "Cotters Market" for now, because I have another store Event to share with you!



DRUM ROLL, PLEASE...
Daisies and Dimples are having A HUGH BIRTHDAY PARTY!  Yes, we're celebrating our 4th Birthday with a storewide 45% off SALE, plus an Easter Egg Hop through the store and great Surprise Bags for just $1.99.  Hop along to Daisies and Dimples and join in the Birthday celebrations. 






Last, but not least, I want to let you know that although Nuthouse-Scraps (my third store) has changed ownership, it also is in the process of  'renewal' - new name, new store, new software.  Of course all this takes many many hours of work but it is being worked on at fever pitch.  A 'soft opening' was planned for April 1 but some problems were encountered that have to be resolved.  Look for "Scrapbook Universe" - the new name for our store.  As soon as I have news for you, I will post everywhere - here, on my Facebook Fan Page, twitter, google +, and in my newsletter.  We want you to come and see our new store - it is going to be jaw-dropping AWESOME!!  I can't wait. I'm super excited!

Well that's it for now.  It must be time to go shopping with the super sales and specials happening in my other two stores.  Don't miss out on the savings.

NEWS AND FREEBIES!!

My poor neglected blog!  About three weeks ago I was all set to do a blog post when I was hit by the tummy bug that seemed to be prevalent in our region at the time.  That hit me like "Whammo!" and by the time I recovered, I had so much to catch up on that I've been chasing my tail ever since.  I'm here now though, and that's the important thing, right?

So much has been happening.  Nuthouse-Scraps.com, the store I've been in the longest, has been sold.  It is set to re-open as "Scrapbook Universe" and we are on the countdown to opening...new site, new software, new look!  The new owner has lots of fabulous ideas, so you can expect to see some creative changes.  You can sign up for the newsletter, if you haven't already, and there's a daily download in the lead up to opening.  We are hoping for a 'soft opening' on April 1 and a huge grand opening a few weeks later once all the designers have uploaded their products.   http://welcome.scrapbookuniverse.net/  (note .net not .com)  You can also keep abreast of progress on our Facebook page.  

Ever sooo slowly, I've been adding my products to my new store at DaisiesAndDimples.com  D&D have an anniversary in April and there are some awesome events planned, especially around Easter.  Check in every so often there and see when the sales and other events are taking place...you sure won't want to miss out on any of the fun!

Now we come to The Studio.  Toiny (owner) has just announced the awesome changes that are happening there.  It seems change is in the air...maybe that comes with the arrival of Spring!  Here is a 'copy and paste' of Toiny's announcement :-

BIG Announcement. I have been working towards this for the better part of two years & now it's almost time.  I am beyond excited & so extremely happy to announce that we are getting a brandnew store!


Our new site will have all the features you've been dreaming of, including amazing search engines, search by price, search by color and most importantly: a combined PU & CU shopping cart!  It is a shopping dream.  Even better?  To  make it easier for us to move from the old site to the new site, we are retiring many of our old products at 75% Off.  Please be sure to stop by the Personal Use and Commercial Use retiring sections.  New (old) products are being added daily.

Important Dates
  • Retiring Sales through April 12 (not all products are retiring)
  • Downloads available through April 13
  • Offline April 13 - 15 (give or take, it is a lot of data)
    Note: Forum, Blog, Gallery & Challenges will stay open!
  • Soft open April 18
Everything except orders, will be transferred to the new store.  Please download all purchases by April 13, 2015.  We will, of course, support any purchases in the last 30 days as always. However, it will make all our jobs easier if you can download before the move.

There is a thread in the forum for any questions: BIG Store Announcement
Please ask away & express any concerns, comments or your excitement!  I'm super excited & I hope all of you are as well.

Well, there  you have it!!   Two new shops and one 'almost new' = lots and lots of work apart from designing.

I have been doing some designing though and if you browse my shop at the Studio, you will see what I've been doing.  I did a larger-than-normal mini-kit - "Little Bird" - plus a couple of extra packs, so there is Bundle Deal too.  (Great saving when you buy the bundle!) 

I loved creating this and it really got me ready for Spring!  I hope you'll love it too.

Just this week, I released a full size Collection - "My Peaceful Place".  This is currently 30% off and the Bundled Deal is less than half price.  

The Kit has 12 papers and 58 embellishments:

FREEBIES:

There is a freebie made with this kit on my Facebook Fan Page too.  http://www.facebook.com/ZestyDigiDesigns

I'm about to send out a newsletter and I'm including another little freebie in that as well.

SALES:

Check out 60% off my selected mini kits.

Retiring CU products are now 75% off - I have a few in the Retiring category.

I have two new CU packs - "Peony Pleasure 2" and "Vintage Photo Masks" - currently 30% off.

COMING UP:

The Studio's Spring Mega Collection is due to be released on April 1.  Don't miss it!!  I'm busy working on that right now!  

Now to show you some pages done by a couple of my CT girls using "My Peaceful Place".

Barbara's pages:







And one from me...just to show the size of a framed cluster on a 12 x 12 page:


I hope I've covered everything.  Hopefully I'll be back with more news of store openings!!  

Take some time out in your peaceful place.  Enjoy!!
