by SamanthaScraptivity.

All this month in the Scraptiv!ty chat room the design team is focusing on fun and fast projects for summer, because lets face it, we’re all really busy right now! This month’s card sketch is sweet, simple and fast too:

Scraptivity CS July 2010

Here’s my take on the sketch:

CS Example Hello

As you can see, there is a hole punched in the front of the card, so the embellishment can be placed on the inside, but seen through the outside of the card, too.

Sketch Example Inside

Now, time to announce the winner from the card sketch contest I held last month. The winner is Catherine with this bright and summery card:

Congrats Catherine! E-mail me at potaylor@hotmail.com with your address so I can mail you your prize.

Sizzlin’ Summer Super Sale – Week of July 19th

All summer long, we are reviewing our favourite kits from the past!

This week’s feature is our November 2007 kit! Bizzy B’s is having their Christmas In July crop this weekend and you’ll find Scraptivity Design Team members in attendance, so we thought it would be a great time to feature our November 2007 kit which includes everything you need to create a calendar (or several) which you can use for your gift list! Why not get started early and take the stress off when it comes to the holiday season?

Inside our November kit, you’ll find items to complete some fun (and useful) projects along with your layouts. The new year is approaching, and we’re helping you bring calendars and dates into your scrapbooking! Your kit includes an Easel Jewel Case Calendar from Pine Cone press, filled with blank calendar pages, ready for you to create an easel calendar for the upcoming year! We played on the jewel theme and included assorted jewels and gems to decorate your projects. We’ve also included blank calendar papers which you can use to create a 6×6 calendar or datebook, or you can add them to your layouts. Check this month’s issue of Notions for a variety of uses for them! This kit has you covered “year ’round” with a great selection of papers and goodies, plus All In A Year stamps. The stamps include all twelve months, plus numbers and a fun date grid. You can also try out the new Jotters from Luxe Designs “Right Now” and have some fun!

This kit is on sale for ONLY $19.99!!! Great savings of $23 off the regular price!

Also on sale this week: 20% off all Albums and 40% off Christmas/Winter supplies to help you get started on Holiday projects!

Here is the “Album” category- http://scraptivity.com/shop/catalog/index.php?cPath=84

Here is the “Christmas & Winter” category- http://scraptivity.com/shop/catalog/index.php?cPath=75

Use the code July192010album in the Coupon box during store check-out to apply the 20% discount to albums, or the code July192010 for 40% off Christmas and Winter. And remember, if you find albums or Christmas & winter themed items elsewhere in the online store (in other sections such as the add-ons categories) the discount also applies to it. The only exception is anything Tim Holtz.

(Please note that coupons apply to the regular price. If you find items which are already marked down, you will either receive the coupon discount or the marked-down price, whichever is lower, so you get the best deal. You may also add other store items to your order, keeping in mind that applying the coupon to an order which has non-eligible items will show a discount on everything, but this will be corrected when we process your order so the discount is given on the applicable items only.)

Sizzlin’ Super Summer Sale – Week of July 12th

All summer long, we are reviewing our favourite kits from the past!

This week’s feature is our July 2008 kit! This kit included really fun papers from Cosmo Cricket and Kelly Panacci. Personally, I (RebeccaScraptivity) enjoyed creating summer scrapbook layouts with it, because the prints were perfect for all those summer activities such as trips to the Splash Pad! See below for some examples. The kit’s technique is Chalking and it even includes summer-themed chalk stencils, as well as chalks and tools for applying chalk. That’s the most fantastic part about Scraptivity kits! You get everything you need! Just open up the box and you are ready to start creating! And did I mention the great Cosmo Cricket mini album??? That’s right, the kit also includes an album! Why not start now on this year’s summer photos? Add them to this album as you go, and by the end of the summer you’ll have a great little project full of memories!

This kit is on sale for ONLY $19.99!!! Great savings of $23 off the regular price!

Also on sale this week: 25% off “Fun Stuff” and Ribbon!!

Here is the “Fun Stuff” category- http://scraptivity.com/shop/catalog/index.php?cPath=35

You will also find some ribbons at 50% off, so you will be given the price of 50% off rather than 25%. Prices are marked in the store for the 50% off ribbons.

Here is the “Ribbons & Trims” category- http://scraptivity.com/shop/catalog/index.php?cPath=59

Use the code July122010 in the Coupon box during store check-out to apply the 25% discount to Fun Stuff and Ribbons. And remember, if you find ribbon elsewhere in the online store (in other sections such as the add-ons categories) the discount also applies to it. The only exception is anything Tim Holtz.

(Please note that applying the coupon to an order which has non-eligible items will show a discount on everything, but this will be corrected when we process your order so the discount is given on the applicable items only.)
