New Store Front, 60% OFF SALE, and a FREEBIE

There is so much going on around here lately! I finally got my new store front up and running. After a week of persistence, it's finally launched and ready. I'm so glad to be ditching the individual buy it now buttons. It worked fine, but I know how much of a hassle it was if folks were buying more than one item. Now it's all in one place with an automated shopping cart. To celebrate I'm having a 60% off sale now through Thursday. Stop by and check out this amazing sale! You can visit us at Karla's Kaleidoscope Designs.



I'm working on a back to school kit. It's been going slowly with all the time I've put into the store. It's almost done, and I hope to have it on the "shelves" soon. But I wanted to give you all a freebie that coordinates with the kit. It's a fun little quickpage for school pics K-12.



You can snag it here! Enjoy!

Vintage Rose Frame Freebie

I hope you've had a chance to take a look at my CT call mentioned in yesterday's post. I'm really looking forward to looking at the galleries of those that apply. It's fun to see what and how other people scrap. Remember the call is open until the spots are filled, so you still have time to apply if you're interested. All the details are in the last post.

It's been a while since the last freebie, so I want to share a little something with you. Today's freebie is from my Vintage Rose Frame Collection. There are two sets in the collection and additionally there are the vintage pansy frames as well. They are both available at Tina Williams and Friends and at Karla's Kaleidoscope Designs.

Here's a preview of the freebie.

Sassy Scraps CT Call and my own update

I can't believe it's Friday again already. The summer is just a flying. I wish I didn't have this great big count down going on in my head all the time. It's now four weeks of summer vacation down and six to go until school starts again. I also have to work four days in that time frame, actually more. I just will get paid for four. The rest are the normal get ready kind of days, an hour here and there.

The good thing is that our new principal seems to be getting his feet wet and is being very proactive about things. So far he's saying the right things. I hope he follows through. He's asked us all to make an appointment with him, so he can get to know us all and get a feel for our perspectives on our school. I have a huge list growing of things I need to discuss with him at my meeting. I've been a take-the-bull-by-the-horns kind of person the last couple of years and have carved out my niche as the reading teacher that everyone counts on to drive different initiatives. That can be a good thing and a bag thing depending on the circumstances.

Okay, enough boring school chat. I wanted to take the time today to promote my digi friend's CT call. Sassy Scraps by Lisa is having her first CT call. Lisa is a fabulous up and coming designer. She's about to break out in a big way and needs a great team to promote her designs. Here's the info you need if you're interesting in applying...

As for me, I've been busy this week trying to finally get my zen cart store up and running. Now that the program is installed right things are moving ahead. I hope to be able to share with you very soon that I'm ditching the old store for my new improved one. It shouldn't be too long. I'm transferring all my designs there now. It's just a time consuming process as you can imagine.
