Bloggy Giveaway Time! Get Donna Downey’s New Book!
I’m SO excited, because the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival is back in town! I participated last time around and had a blast. It’s really a lot of fun to give away stuff, and this week? It’s all about giving away some good stuff, baby! (I live in Vegas, isn’t that how I’m supposed to talk? No? Ok, moving on).
Let’s get started! Today at DigiScrapChat, we have Bloggy Giveaway #1. I will be giving away a copy of Donna Downey’s new book, “A Photos-First Approach to Designing Layouts“.
I just ordered myself a copy AND an extra copy to send to the lucky winner of this giveaway. I’m a huge fan of Donna, and I read her blog regularly. She caters a lot to paper scrappers, but she is getting into the digi too with some great alpha and word brushes for sale over at Polka Dot Potato.
And seriously - regardless of the way you scrap - paper, digital, or both - Donna will have a lot to offer you in this book. Oh, and it’s autographed too! Extra cool!
So, what do you DO to win this giveaway prize? Simply leave me a comment on this post (don’t forget to post your email address), and I’ll do a random drawing on Saturday to determine the winner.
But wait - you don’t want to wait until Saturday to come back! This truly will be a week full of giveaways, and tomorrow (Tuesday) I’ll be posting our first Designer Showcase, with an interview from Juliana Gordon. She’s got a coupon for you, AND a giveaway too!
On Wednesday, I’ll post the second Bloggy Giveaway, and you don’t want to miss that one either, I promise!
Have fun with the carnival, and thanks for visiting! (Can you bring me back some popcorn? Surely someone has some popcorn around here in bloggy giveaway carnival land?)

This is the second time I’ve heard about the givaway carnival today. It sounds like a great thing to do. I always find that whenever I give something away other than personal freebies, that good things happen back. Guess it’s Karma.
Hope you have a great day!
