What Matters Monday… Saving Money

Monday, December 1st, 2008

For important news about the extended sale… scroll down to the next post!!!!

 

Good morning fellow scrappers.  It’s Cyndi, here to give you today’s edition of What Matters Monday.  If you’re anything like me this morning, you’re brain is a little scrambled from all the turkey eating, family visiting and Christmas shopping you’ve done this weekend.  Needless to say, this post is going to be short and sweet. 

And again, if you’re anything like me, you are thinking about all the Christmas shopping you have yet to do between now and the 25th.  I’m keeping an eye on my bank account and being super frugal where I can be.

I’ve found that one area I can really save big in the digital community in on fonts.  There are so many free font sites out there, with everything from handwriting fonts to brand name fonts to themed fonts to really, really wacky fonts.  It’s fun to see all the different ones out there. 

I’ve got quite a few downloaded to my computer.  I find that I’m really drawn to the handwriting fonts found at Kevin and Amanda’s Fonts for Peas

One of my new favorite fonts is Ali Edwards handwriting font found HERE.  And yes, it’s free!!

I’ve found some great ones at 1001fonts.com and have heard great things about Dafont.com and Font Garden.com.

Go check these out.  I know there are so many more out there too.  Sometimes a great font is all your LO needs to take it to that next level.  And when it’s free…….  even better!!

Site Woes…Sale Continues at 30% for One More Day

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Hi everyone, Andrea here.  Sad to say our site couldn’t handle all of the Black Friday traffic.  There was an error in our shopping cart at the server, a very important file that makes sites like ours go fast when the file is working correctly and “glacially slow” when it isn’t was missing. We tried to make sure that everything was working great before the sale, we had recently upgraded our server and our CPU, but we didn’t even know we were missing the speed enhancing file until things really slowed down. Now we know and have fixed that problem, but since computers seem to have gremlins,  and we’re bound to have another problem, we’re hoping that the next problem that comes along is easy to fix and won’t cause as many problems as the missing file. Thanks so much for your patience this weekend.  I really do apologize for any inconvenience the site slow down may have caused you.

I, along with the other ScrapMatters’ designers, don’t think that you should miss out on the bargains just because our server couldn’t keep up.  So I’m happy to extend the 30% off sale for one more day, until 11:59 pm on Dec 1st Pacific Time.  Then the sale will be finished, we’re just going to skip the 20% off day.

Thanks to all of you who left nice comments on our blog train.  If you didn’t yet travel to all of the blogs to get the goodies, it’s not too late to hop on board.  The first stop is my blog.

Those of you who read DigiShop Talk’s newsletter might want to look for a special offer from ScrapMatters in the December issue.  Also don’t forget to sign up for the December newsletter coming out around the 10th-15th. There is a super collab kit from Happy Scrap Girl and Haynay Designs in the December issue, you won’t want to miss it.
