Hopping into 2011.....

Happy New Year's Eve!

Another year is laying on it's back and on it's way out and it is time to ROCK 2011! If you are old (like me) you remember things like Archie Comic's and Herbie Rides Again. When Televisions were consider science fiction, 8-tracks were the bomb, nobody had power anything and you could leave your doors unlocked. Kids respected their elders, everyone respected the law and we all had table manners and building treehouses was better than any video game you could imagine.

We welcome 2011 with tons of excitement. Our new store is up and running and we are offering a:

 New Year SPECIAL -

11% off your entire purchase! Use promocode: HAPPY2011. Limit one coupon per customer and the sale is valid today, December 31, 2010 through January 2, 2011.

We also have tons of fun stuff going on in our forums on CDAC and PCP - be sure to join either place and get in on all the action coming your way for 2011. We are also hosting the CDAC Color Challenge this week so you will want to run over there and pick up the freebie and join in the fun for a chance to win a gift certificate to the store.

I had so much fun playing with Chef Burly Becky, to be honest , i have fun with all of them..................LOL

Now look at him and tell me you don't also think he is 'DA BOMB'........

UPDATE: We are turning some of our digis to clear polymer stamps this year! We have drafts at the manufacturer as we type this and are so very excited to be able to offer stamps to those customers who love the feel of a stamp! Stay tuned - more to come soon!

Now as you know once a month we hold the "NEW RELEASE" Blog Hop and today is the day. We have eight new images and several new sentiments by Sassy Say'n's by Marlooney available starting today. Be sure to use that coupon code and getting in on some fabulous savings at the same time!

For your viewing pleasure we have some fun for you today! We are so excited about these new images and as you can see the girls got really excited too! LOL While you are hopping be sure to leave some love - one of the Design Team Members will be secretly chosen as the "MYSTERY HOSTESS" of the blog hop and one lucky commenter will receive a one of our new release images for free or any individual image of their choice.

This Blog Hop does not have a starting and ending point so no matter where you HOP on you are in the right place. Just keep going. Don't forget to leave some love everywhere you land, including here,really don't forget! Once you have gone full circle you have completed the Hop.

We are so excited to link you to Miss Fink next!
