This week I'm doing yet another contest with a friend of mine! Lizzy of Fizzy Pop Designs has recently kicked off her designing career with some fabulous templates. We've decided to hold a scrap challenge and give away some freebies in the process!<br />
<br />
First, the details: To be entered, all you have to do is scrap a layout with our products! You must use one of Lizzy's templates AND one of my kits for your layout. Upload your layout to a public gallery and then come back to my blog or Lizzy's blog and leave us a comment to link us to your layout by Wednesday, Nov. 18, at midnight EST . Lizzy and I will each pick one favorite to win $10 to our store!<br />
<br />
If you haven't picked up any of our designs yet, don't worry! We're giving you freebies that you can use for the challenge. You are NOT required to use these to be entered in the contest. You are only required to use any one of Lizzy's templates AND any one of my kits in your layout.<br />
<br />
Here's my freebie: Thankful Mini. This kit is perfect for scrapping all your Thanksgiving memories, and versatile enough for just about any layout! Click on the preview or the link below to download.<br />

I have a fun new collab to show you today. Jennifer Fox and I teamed up for the first time to bring you <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18795&cat=292" target="_blank">Bubblegum Beauty</a>, a great new kit perfect for your girly photos! <br />
<div style="margin: auto; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18795&cat=292" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="498" src="http://x7f.xanga.com/70af642300734253949884/w201835962.jpg" width="498" /></a><br />
</div><br />
I also have several alphas today. <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18800&cat=292" target="_blank">Hemline Alpha</a> was a freebie for everyone who applied to my recent CT call and is a great basic alpha, with a wonderful fabric texture and a stitched outline. <br />
<br />
I'm also making the alpha from <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18801&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">Bubblegum Beauty</a> available separately from the kit. It IS included in the kit purchase, so don't purchase the alpha separately if you're buying the kit. <br />
<br />
<a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18799&cat=292" target="_blank">Nonsensical Alpha</a> was a recent newsletter freebie and is a great way to add "pop" to any layout. If you missed either of these, you can now pick them up in my store! <br />
<br />
I'm also releasing my <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18228&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">Pewter Alpha</a> for the first time at Scrap Orchard. It was previously part of my May Grab Bag. <br />

I have lots of new goodies to show you today!<br />
<br />
First, I'm releasing my <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18741&cat=283" target="_blank">Boys and Girls Collection</a> at Scrap Orchard for the first time! <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18532&cat=292" target="_blank">Snips & Snails</a> and <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18534&cat=292" target="_blank">Sugar & Spice</a> were some of my most popular older kits and have been requested by several of you, so here they are! You can buy the Collection and save 30%, or you can purchase them separately. <br />
<div style="margin: auto; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18741&cat=283" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="498" src="http://xf2.xanga.com/de9f21e073330254282941/w202126085.jpg" width="498" /></a><br />
<a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18532&cat=292" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://x11.xanga.com/b64f5b1bc2d33254284089/w202127109.jpg" width="240" /></a><a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18534&cat=292" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://x28.xanga.com/62bf36e206531254284092/w202127112.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I'm also releasing <a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18722&cat=292" target="_blank">Blend Your Cares Away 2</a> today! This 2nd set of 12 x 12 blending masks is an easy-peasy way to get that popular blended look for your layouts, whether you use them on papers or photos.<br />
<div style="margin: auto; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18722&cat=292" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="498" src="http://xc2.xanga.com/6ea8354113306253202410/w201181850.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><br />
For all of you looking for some great basic commercial use tools, I have made CU versions of both Blend Your Cares Away sets. I use these blending masks all the time to create my own papers. They're a great time-saver and make creating blended papers a snap. Use these 12 x 12 clipping masks to blend overlays, colors, and textures to your papers, giving them extra dimension and pop. They both include instructions for blending papers, colors, and transparent overlays in PS. No credit required, and you can use them to create papers for your S4H kits. <br />
<div style="margin: auto; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18724&cat=292" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://x01.xanga.com/19ff2a1b72230254284086/w202127107.jpg" width="240" /></a><a class="postlink" href="http://scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=18723&cat=292" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://x9d.xanga.com/fadf24e505230254284078/w202127101.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
