Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In honor of today (yes, one of my favorite holidays because everyone is wearing GREEN) I decided to have a contest. For every person who spends some GREEN in my Pink Ink Studios store ($10 or more) from now until Saturday (midnight, EST) will be entered to win my Sister Accordion book design for FREE! So are you feeling lucky?

Recently I gave away a free maternity layout during Maternity Matters Week to one lucky winner, Amanda and I thought I would show off the final layout I did for her. Thanks Amanda for participating in my contest and for the use of your photos to display here.

Speaking of FREE layouts and contests there is STILL time to enter my Halloween Photo Contest! I’ve had some great entries showcasing fun and cute Halloween photos but I would love to see some more! Get them in by November 7th to be entered to win!

With Halloween a few days away I thought it would be fun to have a Halloween photo contest. Simply submit any Halloween photo for a chance to win a free custom designed Halloween scrapbook layout from Tara Sroka Designs! The free layout will be delivered as a high resolution jpg. Scrapbook layouts are great ways to share with friends and family the big moments in your life – plus they are super easy to email and post to social media as well! Email me by November 7th at tara@tarasrokadesigns.com or share a link to your photos as a comment to be entered*. Enter as many photos as you like – each photo will count as a separate entry.

I’ve been cleaning out my scrappin stash and I have for one lucky person a hodge podge of goodies to send ya. Leave a comment and I’ll pick a random winner.

I’m working on lots of goodies coming soon and I’ll have a collaborative kit tomorrow. Some of the MDM designers and I put together a kit for Breast Cancer and all the money raised will be going to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer charity. Stay tuned for that and if you just want to donate I will have a button on here as well.

Speaking of charity, I signed up for the Stand Up and Scrap Contest which is for a competition raising money and awareness for Climate Protection. 100% of the proceeds raised through the sale of the Stand Up Kit & Registration Package will be donated to the Alliance for Climate Protection. I have to do my first layout which is about “A Dream I Have” by tomorrow and I’m kinda stuck for now. I’m glad it’s all anonymous though so if it sucks no one will know. LOL! I just can’t look at the galleries and look at the other layouts. There are some really good ones and I think it’s actually stunting my creativity since I’m so impressed with everyone’s designs. I think to myself that is so good I can’t do that. Anyways, we’ll see but I can’t even show you for 6 weeks…he he he.

See you manana!
