today's new releases...

So it's Monday but there are no new releases at Elemental Scraps... wait - what??!

oooh right, that's because....



woo hoo! I love a good sale!
I'll be back with more info and news about our Black Friday sale soon!
:)

FWP deal & a new FREEBIE template!

It's Free With Purchase week at Elemental Scraps and this week only, I have a $2 Coupon code that's FWP of my 2010 CD Case Calendar templates! Just a heads up - the templates are the same as the set I had in my store last year for 2009 but the dates/calendar grids that are included are updated now for 2010! So if you bought the set last year you, these are the same, but with different calendars for 2010 (just didn't want any of you buying the set again and being disappointed that they are the same templates).

The $2 coupon is zipped up and the download is attached when you buy the calendar templates! The code is valid from Nov 16-22. It's worth $2 so you can pick up a Sample Pack of templates or some Color Play items FREE or you can put it towards anything you'd like in my store (excluding collabs)!

2010 CD Case Calendar Templates

The little layouts that you make with these templates fit inside an inverted CD case. Simply remove the cover, flip it over, reassemble the case and insert the finished pages! There's a CU version HERE too.



Here's an example of the calendar pages all done up - it's by dna13 and I just love it!




Here's what's FREE with the purchase of this template set...



The new freebie template for the challenge on the ES forums is in my store now!
Once again, I lifted a fantastic page to make this template! lol Amymom24 (Amy Hoogstad) made the adorable page below and I used it as the inspiration for this template freebie! (Thanks Amy!)

Hope you all like the template! It's available as a personal use freebie until the end of the month and then it will go into my next Sample Pack. If you like the mask on this template - check back soon because I will have a template set with mask like that in my store soon!



by Amy - this is the one I lifted to make the template...
