TERRIFIC TUESDAY (Birthday Present #2) (and a GIVEAWAY!)
As part of our Birthday Month Celebration, we've got a series of Birthday Gifts from TSR to you all month long. We're "unwrapping" a new gift each Tuesday, and we've got Gift #2 for you today! (And, if you read all the way to the bottom, we'll be giving away one of these set to one lucky blog reader!!!)
The ScrapRoom has paired up with the most adorable Etsy Shop this month to bring you the absolute cutest companion set for ScrapRoom scrapbookers. Let me introduce you to Andrea from KNITTY BITTIES and her gorgeous fabric-pieced Camera Slipcovers and Coffee Cozies! I found Knitty Bitties last fall and purchased a Camera Slipcover and a Happy Little List-Taker. I was over-the-top impressed with the quality of the fabrics, the attention to detail in the sewing, and the way that she has an eye for combining different fabric colors and patterns to create really beautiful and interesting pieces. I immediately put my Slipcover over my Camera Strap and swooned at the adorable-ness of my once utilitarian-looking camera. It actually gave that black Canon some real personality, and you would not believe the number of compliments that I get on that camera strap!
In fact, I was so impressed with my Knitty Bitties items that I ordered more Happy Little List-Takers and another camera strap to give as Christmas gifts, and as I went to place my second order, I discovered that she had added a new item to her store - the cutest Coffee Cozies you've ever seen! I think I let out a little scream of delight when I saw them and immediately added two sets of the Coffee Cozies to my order as well. I gave Knitty Bitties goodies to everyone last year for Christmas, including my TSR Designers. :) They are the PERFECT gift for a coffee-drinking friends and family - not too pricey so you can stock up - but oh the joy they bring. I smile every time I see my pretty little Coffee Cozy. I keep one in my car and wrap it around my Starbucks cup whenever I treat myself to a latte on the go. I've even been known to wrap my Cozy around one of my to-go cups from home just because the pretty fabrics make me so happy. :)
Long introduction, I know, but I just want you all to know that I have lots of wonderful personal experience with Knitty Bitties products, and I just had to share this great find with you all. When talking with Andrea to come up with a special for ScrapRoom members (and blog readers), I couldn't decide between the Camera Slipcover or the Coffee Cozies, as both items support the two things we all have in common - our love of scrapbooking our photos and our love of kick-back-with-a-warm-beverage time. So, seeing my dilemma, Andrea agreed to include both items in her promotion! I couldn't be more excited to share this with you!
Andrea has created an exclusive ScrapRoom color combo just for us, which includes aqua, brown, and red. Our website is aqua and brown - and you can never go wrong by adding a pop of red to anything. :) So, here are the details!
ScrapRoom Limited Edition Happy Little Camera Strap Slipcover PLUS Coffee Coat in ScrapRoom Colorway - $22 (plus $3 s&h). (There are only 18 available in this color combination, so grab your set before they are gone!) PURCHASE YOUR SET HERE!
CAMERA STRAP SLIPCOVER: (All slipcovers are padded for comfort!)
COFFEE COZY: (You will receive one of the featured TSR fabrics on your Cozy. All Cozies are padded and lined with brown fabric on the backside.)
Promotional offer/code for ScrapRoom readers/customers: FREE "Happy Little Key Fob" on ANY order $15 or greater (fabric varies). Use code 'ScrapRoom' in Notes to Seller at checkout.
HAPPY LITTLE KEY FOB: These little babies are cute, strong, and allow you to slip your keys over your wrist. You've got your hands free for shopping and you won't lose your keys!
I also want to mention that Knitty Bitties is getting ready to start their annual "Handmade Holidays" promotion, which will start October 18th. All details are here on the Knitty Bitties Blog. You are not going to want to miss these great specials! (I know I'm going to be there on a couple of those dates to take advantage of the special pricing and custom fabric option. Although, I really must say that Andrea does such a beautiful job of combining colors and fabrics that you can't go wrong if you just leave it up to her!)
And finally, I'll close out this post with another gift... Andrea has kindly offered to give away one of the awesome TSR Camera Strap Slipcovers AND Coffee Cozy sets. Leave a comment below telling me how many people on your Christmas list would LOVE a Camera Strap Slipcover or a Coffee Cozy for Christmas! (Comments will close on Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. CST, and we'll announce the winner shortly after that.)

Week #41 Weekly Challenge!
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: We're teaming up with Sassy Lil' Sketches for this week's challenge. Deanna Deaton, one of our MODS is also a designer for Sassy Lil' Sketches' weekly sketch site, which is run by Cherie Averill and Katie Nolan-Denham. The sketch shown below was created by Cherie and is this week's featured sketch on their site. We're using that same sketch for our weekly challenge here! Use the sketch below to jumpstart your creativity and create a layout. Upload your layout (along with your real life name) to the WEEK #41 CHALLENGE FOLDER. All layouts must be uploaded by 9:00 a.m. CST on Monday, October 18th.
Be sure to get extra potential prize-winning mileage out of this week's challenge and enter your layout in the Sassy Lil' Sketches monthly sketch contest as well by using the Mister Linky link on their blog.

THE PRIZE: This week's prize package features an great collection kit from Crate Paper's Orbit line, along with the coordinating Orbit stamp set. The collection kit includes twelve 12"x12" double-sided, heavy-weight, lightly textured papers (two each of six designs), 72 glitter diecuts, 5 glitter borders, and alphabet stickers. As always, with our Crate Paper prize packages, there is enough product included to create multiple pages or a theme album - or to share with a friend. :)
CHALLENGE RULES:There are only 2 rules if you want to enter a weekly challenge:
1.) Your submission has to be a new layout created for this challenge. :) You're on your honor here, but the idea of a Weekly Challenge is to finish new layouts and not simply upload old layouts. :) (Your actual layouts can be done in any size - 12x12, 8.5x11, 8x8... whichever size you scrapbook in!)
2.) Please only submit one time for each weekly challenge! (You will need to be registered on our message board to upload your layout to the Challenge Folder gallery. Registration just requires that we confirm your e-mail address so we know you're not a spammer. :) (In order to upload layouts to our gallery, you will need to be sure to resize layouts to no larger than 500x500 pixels and 72-75 dpi. If you're file size is much larger than that, you'll get an error message when attempting to upload. :) )
