pink reptile's first blog challenge

I am super duper excited to write this post and to kick off this first ever pink reptile blog challenge. I really hope to see many familiar faces aswell as many new ones participating and joining the pink ladies and me in some good old template fun!

Yes this is a template challenge and I managed to get none other then THE miss Carly Dee aka Queen of Hearts out of retirement to make us a template to play with! How cool is that huh?!
Thanks a million Carly! You ROCK!

Let me show you the template and explain the rules.

Here's the template that you have to make a layout with [both .PSD and .TIFF files are included]. Make it yours and let your creativity take flight! You can pick any subject or theme, make it photoless or not, whatever you like.  Upload your page to one or all of your galleries and post a link to your layout in the comments section of this post before January 15 (just click on the time and you'll be able to leave a comment). There's just one more requirement and that is that you need to use 75% pink reptile products and I am going to help you with that!

To give your pink reptile stash a little kickstart I have re-uploaded some of my past free addon mini's and alphas that I made to go with my kits and collabs.

From left to right and top to bottom all shown freebies with store links to the kits they belong to:

1. Handmade With Love addon [this one goes with the Handmade with Love Collab that I made with Studio 68]

3. Cozy Christmas Day addon [this one goes with the Cozy Christmas Day Collab that I made with Val C]

Off course there's always a little something for free under the Free Gift Tab at the Pink Reptile FB page too!

And that's not all!

As I said I am all excited about this first challenge and also totally in a Christmas mood so with that in mind, the winner will receive a 25 dollar coupon to my store. Everyone else will receive a 25% off coupon code!

As always I am leaving you with a little inspiration to kick start your creativity and what better way then by showing you what the Pink Ladies made with the template!

want to win my December BYOC products? sneak peek

Are you looking forward to the December 7 release of the new BYOC as much as I am?
Of course I have seen most of the gorgeousness that is waiting for you and if you know me a little you know I normally am BIG tease. Not today though, cause I am also very naughty so instead of teasing you this time I am going to give you a sneak peek of my products, lift a tip of the veil that way and give you a chance to WIN the 3 products I made. I really love how they all turned out and hope you will too.

I will be releasing:

• an Element Pack (containing 41 unique elements)
• a Paper Pack (containing 12 patterned papers + 10 matching solids) and
• an alpha (upper case, numbers and some symbols (! ? " '& $ ; -) – 44 characters in total)

SO...want a chance to win all of these, yes that's right ALL of these, for free?
Okay! That's awesome!

Then all you need to do is comment on this post (just click on the time under this post to go to the comment section) and I will be back Thursday evening to pick one winner around 9 pm my time (check the right menu bar, clock is right under the pinterest button). I want to give you your coupon ahead of time so you can grab your prize as soon as the products hit the store!

Here's my sneak peek!

Have a great day, good luck and Happy Scrappin'!
