Friday Round Up!

Fridays are good aren’t they? It’s the day that gets the honor of being the gateway to the weekend, and who doesn’t love the weekend? I like Fridays for another reason too….because it means new products in the PGD store and a new Gypsy Challenge!

Lor has a font challenge for you as our final Gypsy Challenge of August. Scoot on over and check it out and get those layouts posted before the end of the month to earn your Gypsy Points!

You have just a few more days to shop Ami’s clearance sale too! She’s retiring some of her products to make room for more, so this is your chance to add them to your stash before they’re gone at an 80% discount! Paper packs are $1.20, element packs are $0.80 and alphas just $0.60. What a steal!

All of the new releases below are on sale today for 30% off!

You know, sometimes people in your life are bigger than life. And a few of them aren't, but they act (and maybe brag?) as if they are. Today's wild card challenge will be perfect for scrapbooking about them.

I also have a double Pixel Gypsy Elite Scrapper announcement for you!

8/8 Wild Card Challenge - GAMES!

I know, you're still reeling from the amazing amount of information from yesterday's blog entry: new products (including the Mega-Collab), a sale, a new designer apprentice, and Facebook treats. Wow!

However, if you're still looking for that special something to do this weekend, take out your favorite games and get some great snaps! Why? Because Gypsy Girl Hollyann has posted her first challenge over in the forums! The task at hand: create a page about your favorite game (or someone else's favorite game). Then, just make sure it's posted in the gallery with at least one PGD product and linked in the correct forum thread by August 31st.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and PLAY!
