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!

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!

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.

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.
