We also have games planned throughout the weekend–your favorites like Bingo and I Spy as well as some new ones.
There will be so many Speed Scraps you will be on your way to getting all of your terrific summer memories scrapped! Did you get your Special Edition copy of the ScrapMatters’ newsletter? If not click here for your official guide to all of the festivities.

Hello—I can’t believe how easy it is to hit the wrong button in phpList–I thought I was pushing test and hit send.  I might go back to our old newsletter mailer, at least you could stop it when there was a mistake.  I think the newsletter is going out now, but you might get a blank one first or not.  Since I really can’t tell what’s going on with the mailing I thought I would post this month’s newsletter here.  So keep reading and you’ll find all of the important links!

It’s hard to believe that March is here already. I’m happy to present the March issue of the SM newsletter. Included as usual in our newsletter is a fabulous free kit. This month features a fabulous travel-themed kit called “Enjoy the Journey” by Heather (Dirty Feet Designs) and Wendy (wm2 designs).  There is also a great tutorial by Heather of Joy Revisited Designs.

Our Design Star Contest is moving along just great.  It was so hard to narrow down the contestants.  We received 90 mini-kits and tried to pick 20 favorites–we just couldn’t do it, so there are 25 contestants moving on to round two.  The round one mini-kits are almost finished as freebies and the round two paper packs are going up tomorrow morning.  So hurry to get these fabulous freebies while they are still available in one convenient place.

If you’re looking for the freebies log into our forum and hop on over to the gallery from there and check out all of the free mini-kits/paper packs in the Design Star category (you have to scroll down to almost the bottom of the gallery to find them). You must be registered and logged into the forum first and then click on the gallery button to see the entries.

We’re giving you several options from which to download your newsletter. They all have the exact same newsletter.

I hope you enjoy it. Andrea & the SM newsletter group

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.
