Saturday, May 2nd is National Scrapbooking Day. Are you ready for our famous doorbuster sale??? It only comes around twice a year, so don't miss it! Early shoppers get up to 75% off their entire purchase! See full details below!
Also check the PGD Event calendar for details on our NSD Speed Scrap and our first Saturday Night Live chat!! We hope that you make time for scrapping on Saturday!
Jamie's latest challenge, one that should inspire you to scrap with some ads, is up in the challenge section of the forums. Also, I've extended the deadline for April LOs through May 1st, since the challenge went up late today. I'm so sorry.
We’re coming up on the last few days for you to get our Uniquely You mega collab kit as a free gift for your donation to the Helping Hand grant program. After April, the kit goes into the PGD Vault and will not be offered for sale in the store. I’m reposting the information for anyone who missed it the first time around. Please help us raise money for this very worthwhile charity. I know in this economy money is tight for a lot of folks, but this means that Helping Hand is more in need of donations than ever. Let me tell you a little bit about what Helping Hand does for families who have children with autism—they supply grants to families in financial need to help them cover some of the enormous therapy and treatment costs associated with autism. Currently only a few states have laws that force insurance companies to pay for autism-related therapy. Families are left trying to figure out how to pay the $20,000-50,000 (sometimes more) per year for a good therapy program. 
April is Autism Awareness Month and each year in April, Pixel Gypsy Designs works to raise funds for the Helping Hand grant program, administered by the National Autism Association.
This year, as our way to say thank you to our generous digital scrapping friends who donate $10 or more directly to Helping Hand during the month of April, we will send you the Uniquely You mega collab kit (see previews below) that was created exclusively for this fundraiser as our THANK YOU GIFT. For our friends who donate over $10, we're also sending, along with the Uniquely You mega collab, a gift certificate matching donation amounts over $10. For example, if someone generously donated $50 directly to Helping Hand using the link provided on our site, they would receive the Uniquely You mega kit, plus a $40 gift certificate to the Pixel Gypsy Designs store!
We are not collecting money on behalf of Helping Hand, so it's important that you use the donation link provided on THIS PAGE to donate directly to the Helping Hand program through the National Autism Association website. After your donation is made, the NAA will send us a special confirmation of your donation and we will provide you with all the information needed to claim your thank you gift(s).

This month’s scraplift challenge is brought to you by Ami. She says: Hi all, Ami here with this month's Designer Scraplift Challenge. When I saw Laura's "Peekaboo" layout I was immediately struck with inspiration and thought to myself, "I must do this!" Laura’s original layout: My lift:
 What inspired me was Laura's use of black & white accented with bold colors for the title. Maybe you will like the placement of the elements, the white space, the color scheme, or the single background paper. Whatever strikes you about this layout, run with it! The rules for this challenge are simple: 1.) Be inspired! 2.) Make it your own. And of course, be sure to link us up to your layout! I can't wait to see your take on this beautiful page. Link us up to your lifts here in the comments section! If you’re new to our challenges, check out all the details on how to play along HERE.
Gypsy Girl Mari's challenge is up in the forum. Her dare: use only 6 papers, only 4 buttons, 1 hung photo, and some glitter or bling. Can you do it?
It was a very hard choice this month, but I couldn't help but be drawn in by the beautiful photo on LoriBear's Bunny Lovin layout.
On top of the gorgeous photography, LoriBear chose beautiful, springy colors that complemented her photo and used a small, but effective selection of elements that she clustered.
Congratulations LoriBear on being named the Pixel Gypsy Elite scrapper for March!
It's tax day.
Ick.
