ADSD Cornucopia of Color

Another month gone, but now you get another Wonderful gift from the Folks at ADSDesigners, in all those wonderful colors of Fall. 55 Aspiring Designers have all made parts for this Gift.

If you happen upon a Blog that doesn't have their links posted yet, be sure to check back since we are a World Wide group and live in many different time zones, some may be a little later getting their posts done. The links for this gift should be active for the entire month of September, so if for any reason you cannot get it all today, it will still be here.

Here is my part of the gift

Please be sure to let us see what you make with our Gifts, since that is what this is all about, we make and you use it to make Pages of Memories.

Now I am off to check the weather AGAIN, to make sure that Hurricane Gustav hasn't changed directions and is coming our way, one of the challenges of living on the Upper Texas Gulf Coast, we get the pleasure of watching and waiting for Hurricanes. To anyone that happens to be in his path, I pray you and yours will all be safe.

Have you heard of ARTSCOW.COM?

One day while searching, as I do everyday, for Free templates and other digi-scrapping thing, I saw an ad on one of the blogs for a new company called ArtsCow that makes photo books and photo prints (no 12x12s at this time but lots of other sizes). As a signup bonus you get 400 4x6 photo prints and another un-named gift from them. I thought why not give them a try, even if they are in China. Well I did and as very pleased with the book I ordered, quality, speed and even the price was very nice. Instead of the usual 8x8 book with 20 pages they offer a 30 page book and additional pages are very reasonable. Shipping was $11.99 but they have lowered that to $7.99 so it also compares with the other companies. SO I thought I would share the link with all of you.

http://www.artscow.com/default.aspx?Ref=402014

I was very surprised at the speed with which I got my book, knowing how busy they are being new and having so many offers going on. I ordered the book on July 21 and got it on July 31, so coming from China that seemed really good service. I also ordered a few 4x6 prints to compare and those were also very bit as good as I can get locally or at other online stores. Next I think I'll try the 5x7s since I have lots of frames those will fit perfectly.

They have a Community Forum where you can see what people have had printed with them. That way you can see I am not just Whistling Dixie at you about the quality. Almost everyone is very pleased with their books, and most errors were made by the designer not the company. I know it was my fault some of the pages were too big for the page causing me to lose a little of the journaling, but I have done the same thing with the other company I used before.

Sure wish I had scanned my book and it's cover so you all could see it, but I didn't.

Ok enough advertising for now. Have a great weekend and if you are where it is HOT stay as cool as you can and if it is cold, I envy you totally...LOL
