January at The Shanty

January 2, 2008 | Filed Under Freebies, Give Aways | 6 Comments 

I’m this month’s sponsor at The Shanty! And the Shanty’s creative team is busy whipping up fancy designs with a few of my favorite kits. It’s so exciting to see what they make! If you’re a member of the Shanty, you can take a peek in the gallery here: January Sponsor.

And speaking of being a member of the Shanty, I want to take a minute to tell you why you should be a member, too!

I know a lot of people feel like it’s almost pointless to post their work on-line anymore, since the only way to receive any comments these days is to play a praise game or two. The Shanty is different. The first layout I ever posted at the Shanty received nine comments overnight! That’s one thing I love about the Shanty—people there still leave you authentic praise! Another thing I love about the Shanty is that it is a community full of both paper scrappers and digital scrappers. When you look through the gallery, you’ll find a ton of inspiration! Maybe a few things you never thought of before, as well.

And if those nice things aren’t incentive enough for you to join, I’ll give you another one: I’m hosting a contest at The Shanty! If you click on the template below, it will take you to the forums, where you’ll find the link to this cute little template hiding:

Year in Review

Download the template, create something beautiful with it and upload it to The Shanty’s gallery. Everyone who does so during the month of January will be entered in a drawing to win a $10.00 gift certificate to my store! Just be sure to leave a link to your layout in this thread at The Shanty. Then I’ll announce the winner here on February 1st!

Once you start to post at The Shanty, I’m sure that you’ll discover what I mean about it being a wonderful little community! I hope you find it as delightful as I do. Best of luck in the drawing!
