Congrats to Laura O'Donnell  - the winner of a $10 gift certificate to Two Peas for playing along in our mobile app photo challenge!

Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Peas!  Hope you're having a blast with the app.

Hi Peas!  I've got a special challenge and a chance to win a $10 gift certificate for those of you who've downloaded our iPhone app (if you've not and you use an iPhone - run!  download!)!

I want to see you use the app by uploading a photo from your phone that's currently making you happy.  Be sure to share with us in your description and check the challenge checkbox under 'member challenges."  When you check the challenge checkbox, your photo will have an icon of a phone next to it, thus, qualifying your entry. This challenge is open through the weekend; I'll announce the winner Monday morning on my blog!

p.s.  What's making me happy right now?  I finally posted a bulletin board in our "new" office space. It only took me 6 months. :)

Did you see our news? ;)  Happy downloading!

p.s. Yes, we are looking into creating apps for other devices too!

A very goofy Kristina and I have something exciting coming up - 14 days of Tricks & Treats!  This is something a little different we're trying - in our recent crafting we thought, "Why not share some of the techniques we're using with our members in a series of short videos!?"  Each day we'll share a "trick" we're using, along with a "treat," or giveaway, from goodies we've handpicked from the warehouse!  Look for both seasonal and non-seasonal project ideas...all ideas you're able to carry over into your everyday crafting.  Come join us for this FREE series and be inspired beginning October 17th in the Events section of Classes & Events!

See you then! :)

Hi Peas and Happy Monday!  I hope you've had a good weekend.  We've got some FUN things going on today to kick off your week:

First, like every Monday, a new batch of Garden Girl projects went up - including Shannon's October class for Products You Love Every Which Way!

Next up, our Stamping A to Z event has started today!  Check out all of the new projects and an ongoing index of resources here.  Kristina has a series of sales lined up so that they coincide with the event - which means today - "A for American Crafts" - there is 25% off AC.  You'll want to hurry - it ends tonight, 10/10, at 11:59 pm CST.

And last but certainly not least is our Halloween sale!  This season is my favorite and collecting Fall goodies? Love!  

Have a great start to your week, Peas!

Today's Featured Products:

Santa's Workshop, the Classic Collection and the Colorwheel Collection by Doodlebug

Textured Impressions , Tim Holtz dies, Decorative Strip Dies , Basic Grey Dies, and Vintaj by Sizzix

You recently shared what improvements you would like to see us make to the shopping section to create a more user-friendly experience.  We listened and acted!  Peruse the store and you'll notice the following:

- Added a new list view to shopping results which allows one to "check" multiple products to be added to her cart or wishlist.

- Added a Free Shipping icon with informative text and a details link to qualifying products.  This shows in both the new list view and on the product display page. (See above)

- Added Physical and Digital only filters.

- Digital brand filters have been separated from physical brand filters.

- Related products on product display now include an add to cart button and a "view all" link.

- The brand name in shopping results is now a clickable link.

- "Notify Me!" next to any out-of-stock item has been changed to read "Request and Notify Me!"  - reminding you that we do our best to reorder what items are in high demand.

- Out-of-stock products now fall to the end of every shopping search so that you no longer have to sift through them.

 - A dozen or so minor improvements to improve shopping search results and overall performance.

Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

Mark your calendars- we've got a fun twist on the art of stamping coming right up!

Reviewing the alphabet has never been more fun as we take a look at a new project daily, exploring techniques, topics and your favorite brands beginning with that day's letter beginning October 10th!  The Garden Girls, our manufacturer friends and our special guests have been busy preparing a whirlwind of good ideas.  What's more, we'll be spotlighting member projects we see in the gallery for additional ideas and offering you challenges and prizes along the way!  Don't forget, our events are always free and there's no need to sign up - just jump right in. :)

I hope you'll join us in the Events section of Classes & Events.  See you then!

p.s.  See the card in the photo?  I couldn't resist adding in the picture this beautiful card I received from a sweet member, char4355.  Check out her gallery for a plethora of cardmaking goodness. :)

Are you a fan of Stamping Bella products?  Or Authentique?  Or perhaps both?  Well, if $35 and $50 prize packs of these goodies sounds good to you, you'll definitely not want to miss these!  Check out the challenges for an opportunity to play along and to win big here!

Every year members who frequent the General Stamping board organize and participate in an event they've named, "Stamptoberfest."  They host challenges, play along in challenges, run chats, give RAK's, and all in all, have a great time with each other!  Interested?  They love welcoming newbies to the event.  Just head on over to the board here and dive right in!
