This month we are changing things up here on the Plum Dumpling Designs Blog. Be sure to check back often. We'll be offering tutorials, inspiration, a freebie challenge, discounts, RAKs and so much more. You can even subscribe so you don't miss out!

And Mix A Kit is here! I always love Mix A Kits. It's so fun to see how differently everyone interpreted the colors. This month is NO exception. There is a fantastic array of products from all of the designers. Be sure to stop by the shop and check it out. This is my contribution. We are all about dinos around here and I love it. I had so many photos sitting on my hard drive waiting for a dinosaur kit, so I had to just sit down and draw it out! I give to you the Prehistoric Pals Collection!!







And I've scrapped a LO with it too! I have plenty of dino photos to scrap, so I'll be using these products again and again!


And some romping stomping CT work!

One Amazing Summer, and One Amazing RAK!

Hi and happy very-tail-end-of-summer, everyone!

It's Nikki here with a special challenge, and a chance at a gift code for the Plum Dumpling Designs' store...

As we're all looking forward into fall, we wanted to take one last look back at summer and our favorite summer memories. We want to hear what made 2011 "one amazing summer" for you... a big or small thing that made this summer memorable. Leave a comment with your summer memory on this post to be entered for a chance at that gift certificate!

For a second entry, create a "summer memories" themed layout using Plum Dumpling Designs products--leave another comment here with a link to your layout. It can be a "summer in review" type page, like mine below, or a single special memory... and it can be from summer 2011 or any other year! Let's say "see ya next year" to summer with a celebration of summer layouts!

(I used A Photo A Day, The Open Road, I Scream, Serendipity, He's My Valentine, Family Fun, and the Adventures in Reading type alpha)

To give you a jumpstart, I created this "One Amazing Summer" postcard for you, using Mary's fabulous Vintage Postcard Creator. Just fill in your own photos or favorite summertime papers behind the letters for an eye-catching page title.
