New Release: Adventures in Reading and Add On

Are you a fan? Plum Dumpling Designs is now on Facebook! Check it out here and become a fan!

Anyone can tell you that I absolutely LOVE to read. I try to read as much as I can. I have a list 3 miles long of books that I'd like to get to one day, and as I slowly make progress, more good books are written. A never ending adventure, I think!

So to appease the many requests, I am bringing back the old Design Star favorite: Adventures in Reading. I decided I didn't want to just put that old thing in the shop, lol, so I made a little extra add on too. If you have the original freebie, and you want the full kit, you can just purchase the add-on. If you weren't able to get the freebie, here are your two options : )

Tip Junkie - Paper Crafting Week

While looking for Super Saturday craft ideas for a church activitiy, I stumbled upon this awesome site Tip Junkie! It has everything! Not only did I find a few GREAT ideas for Super Saturday, but I also was selected to be the digital scrapbooking "expert" for the site. More on that another day. But I'm really excited because next week is going to be Paper Crafting Week. Come join us for a fun time and cool crafts! Details follow:

Join us in the TJ Community October 5 - 10th for Paper Crafting Week! Ellie will start us off with the Project of the Week on Monday and Kelleigh will give away $75 in products on Tuesday. On Thursday you'll be able to interact with both of them and learn all that you can from their
expertise.



Paper Crafting Mom-preneur:

My name is Kelleigh Ratzlaff and I live in Dallas, Oregon (affectionately
called "little-D"), which is just west of Salem, the state capitol. My
gorgeous husband (11.5 years), Mitch, and I have 2 seriously amazing little
boys. I mean, they are AWESOME. Grant just started first grade and Cole
just started preschool. I like to call them "my joy" and "my delight"
respectively. The funny thing is, they look NOTHING like me! My two little
blondies take after their father in every way, and that is just fine by me!
They are the reason I scrap, and they, along with their daddy, rock my
world. I get to be a stay-at-home mom, and I absolutely love it.



I enjoy creating cutting and folding templates for little paper bags and
boxes and purses, and all kinds of adorable things that you can put little
gifts in. It started out as a hobby and a way to support my digiscrapping
addiction, but now it's a legitimate business that helps pay the bills!

Tuesday's TJ Community Giveaway:

Kelleigh will give away all future releases from now until December, a $75+ value! I'll post a link
on Tuesday on where to enter by simply leaving a comment.

Thursdays: Q&A with Mom-prenuer & Expert:

Thursday we'll have a question & answer segment with both Ellie & Kelleigh where you can pick their brain and learn all you can from them.



Meet-a-Member: Tina

Howdy! My name is Christina "Tina" Winkle but I often go by the name
twinklescrapbooks on forums. When I was in Kindergarten I liked to spend my
time painting, cutting and pasting. Hey, wait, I still do! I am passionate
about crafts and scrapbooking. I am lucky that my husband and son support
and encourage it. We live in Oklahoma City, OK in a tiny cottage home with
too many pets!! I currently work for a national nanny referral service. On
the side I do blog design, tutoring and advertising representation. I have
been on several scrapbook design teams and published in scrapbook and art
magazines and ezines. I love to work in the garden, spend family time
together, go swimming and bake. I love making new friends!!! Feel free to
email me anytime! :)

Blog: Yes, that's my Child Screaming

New Release: Frameworthy Quotes

Happy Friday all! I am on my way to the Spoon River Drive this weekend with my mom, mother in law, sister in law, and the kiddos. I can't wait. It is the best shopping trip of the year! I can't wait to get lots of fun fall photos to start scrapping. I'm also excited to show you my new release for today. It's word art meets frames.
