Polka Dot Plum is OPEN!!! Blog train FREEBIE!

(WARNING:  looooong post ahead!)

WAHOO!!! I have been eagerly awaiting this day all summer…and it’s finally here. YAY! Check out all the fun stuff that’s going on today–Day 1 of the week-long celebration:

I’m hosting the speed scrap, so make sure to join me in Polka Dot Plum’s forums at 2 pm Eastern for a lot of fun!

While you’re on the new site, make sure you check out the Events section–it’ll tell you everything that’s going on the entire week!

What’s a grand opening without some freebies, right? Hop on the blog train, and by the end you’ll have this full kit!

You’ll find a coupon tucked inside each download, but there’s a catch–we’re giving away each other’s coupons, so you’ll have to visit every site to find them all.

Here’s what I contributed:

Next stop: Foxy Designs

If you’re looking for the beginning of the train, you’ll find it on the Polka Dot Plum Blog.

Before you go, check out some of the new kits in my store!

First off, I have to say that this is one of my new favorite kits ever! I love the colors in it and totally had fun making it. (This kit was inspired by baby bedding a gal showed me during a chat–but I can’t find my paper that had her name. So if YOU were the one who showed me the Zoom Zoom baby bedding, please let me know!)

And for 1 week only you can get the coordinating baby book FREE! That’s right–14 12×12 pages with a front cover and back cover, absolutely free! (Two of the pages even come in UK versions.) Special thanks to CT member Ellie for helping me create this album!

And I couldn’t make a baby boy kit without making a baby girl kit, right? I just love the color combo in this one…red, pink, green, and purple–yummy!

And of course, this kit comes with a free-with-purchase baby book as well, totally free for 1 week when you purchase the Lullaby Girl kit. Once again–thank you Ellie for helping me create this album! (Honestly, she did most of the work!)

Isn’t this kit just super fun? The idea was totally inspired by my sister-in-law (thanks, Michelle!). I teamed up with Sir Scrapalot and he just really helped the kit come to life. See the cupcake? And the fun spiral lollipop? Totally Sir Scrapalot–he rocks!

And finally, if you’re looking to add to your Life’s Journey stash without breaking the bank, check out this grab bag. It’s crammed with 7 new products and is worth over $20–but you can grab it for just $5. (Don’t like surprises? Just check out the additional images in the store to see what you’re getting.)

Whew! That’s it from me today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with some more deals you don’t want to miss. So remember–get on the blog train and get those coupons and freebies. And play along in the challenges to earn more prizes and coupons!
