Easter Sale at Sophisti-Scraps!

Scraparoni Sale at Sophisti-Scraps!

Holy cow, I can't believe it's been almost three months since I've posted. I haven't died or disappeared - or changed my name. Heard a funny rumor about that, as a matter of fact. Nothing that exciting has been going on, I assure you. Nor have I ever designed under a different name. I didn't use a name when I first started, but that changed after my second or third kit, when the name was born and so was this blog. It's been Toni's Scraparoni (or Scraparoni by Toni) ever since.

I've been just as active in the design community as always, except I've been working behind the scenes, learning PHP and coding mods for Zen cart. My motto has always been, "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." Getting what I wanted for the store was no different. While I've always been a muddler through the Greek and Chinese to make cosmetic and small functional changes, getting serious started, yep, about three months ago. LOL! I needed a simple fix for something to do with gift certificates. Did well with that, so I thought, "If I can do that, let's try to do this." The "thises" kept coming until that turned out to be a really nifty gift certificate manager. And they're still coming. Hehe! I've done three mods so far that I'm very proud of. Not going to post previews 'cause there's really nothing to see you would find appealing - unless you have a Zen cart store yourself. If that's the case, visit here and knock yourself out. ;)

I'm sorry I don't have anything new design-wise for you to play with, but you haven't been off my mind for a moment. This has all been for you, so you'll have more fun while shopping. Case in point: gifts with purchase. I've wanted a mod like this since we opened. Many months ago, I requested one be created by someone who does a lot of Zen work in the scrap world. It wasn't at all what I wanted. Now we have egg-zactly what I envisioned, and what I hope you will enjoy.

Hope you'll also enjoy a little sale on Scraparoni while you're at it. 25% off at the place I live and breathe, Sophisti-Scraps. I'm working on one more mod you'll enjoy, and then I promise, it's back to designing something a little prettier. ;)

Bling in the New Year - 2011

Hi, gang!

Happy New Year! Again! LOL!

Originally from 2010, Bling in the New Year has been updated to include 2011 word art. It's also been re-packed and re-uploaded. Both sizes! Last year, quite a few people had trouble getting the full-size kit, so I haven't split it this year. It's one big-ass .zip file of approx 160 MB.

If you're on a slower connection, try setting it to download at night, before you go to sleep. Hoping the number of people on slower connections will be fewer than last year, as technology advances. You dial-up users certainly have my sympathies. I'd have been in the mental home years ago! LOL! Luckily we have a choice where I live, but I know that isn't the case for everyone. So let's try it this way and see how it goes.

Get the page kit here and the tagger kit here.

Hope you'll like and enjoy the kit, whichever size you choose! And of course, wishing you the most shiny, prosperous, healthy, and Happy New Year!! Let's hope 2011 has at least a little bit of heaven. :)

17 Days - Day 2

Not going to give you a preview every day, just of tomorrow - 'cause it's my turn!

Bling - it's what's for dinner! LOL! This is slightly different bling than I normally do. I wanted to get that "plugged in," glowy look. So I guess it's time to get lit up! ;)

Available in both action and template. Tomorrow, both will be on the house. Better be quick! You know where to find them - my favorite store, Sophisti-Scraps. :)

17 Days of Freebies!

Jingle Bling!

Time for a fun, fresh take on Christmas, scrap kit style! Jingle Bling was originally available for one day only during the 2009 Sophisti-Scraps Christmas promo. It's gotten even fresher for 2010 with the addition of a few more elements.

As always, find the page kit and tagger kit at Sophisti-Scraps.

Hope you'll like and enjoy! :)

Make Like a Tree and Bling!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Hope you're getting ready for a yummy dinner and some festive fun - and some great Black Friday shopping!

The Yule Mule is still on a roll. Two more swirly and sparkly trees for your holiday blinging pleasure! Along with a bundle pack of all four. All are available in both action and template at Sophisti-Scraps.

Where, incidentally, there's a 40% storewide sale through November 30th. Yippee!

Now for the trees, numbers three and four in our series, and a preview of the bundle pack in case you've forgotten what trees one and two look like. ;)

Hope you'll like them!

Ornamental Incidentals

I've gone ornamentally-insane again! Seems to happen around the same time every year. Hehe! ;)

Lots of beautiful new baubles for your holiday blinging pleasure. Available in both actions and templates at Sophisti-Scraps. Also, bundle packs in both action and template for numbers 6 - 9. Get ready to do some holiday dazzling - and a little downloading!

You've already seen number six. Let's start with lucky seven:

If you like what you see, grab a tagger-sized PU-only set of numbers 6 - 11, here. Let the blinging begin! :)
