And the winner is...

So, this is a very scientific process. I write down all of your names (including extra entries for those who "earned" them), put them in a bowl, and draw a name! Usually I document via photo, but I'm lazy today so without further ado the winner is.....

SARA!!!

Who just added a beautiful baby boy to their already beautiful family! I am looking really forward to doing a card for them! When you get a chance (and no rush) email me and we'll get started!

I want to say thanks for all who entered and showed interest...and to spread the love and do just that I will be offering my designs, for anyone who places an order in the next 2 weeks, for $25 (as opposed to the normal $30 price). Ordering is as easy as clicking on the PayPal tab on the right and side and making your payment.

Christmas is Coming!

I hate that aisle at the supermarket. You know, the one that is always just a little too early when it comes to celebrating the next holiday? Well, at the risk of being "that aisle", I'm excited to announce a new line of Christmas Cards!

It's a fun little collection I've put together called "The 12 Designs of Christmas". Over the next 12 days I will be debuting a new design here and on my personal blog until they are all revealed! I will then hold a contest and the winner will receive the card of their choice.

In the past I have done individualized custom cards but, in the interest of simplifying the process for everyone involved, I will be doing things a bit differently this year. It will be as easy as choosing the design you like, emailing me your photo, and any family information you would like to include. I will then personalize the card and send it to you in JPEG format for you to have printed however you like (there will be printing tips for anyone who may need them). For a flat fee of $30 you will have a custom design that you can send to as many people as you like. You could even attach it to a "Merry Christmas" email if you're running short on time! Sounds easy right? Who says Christmas has to be stressful!?

So stay tuned for the next couple of weeks and let me know what you think of the new designs. I'm hoping you'll think they are Merry & Bright!

The Latest

Hey y'all! Just wanted to share a couple of the latest blogs I've been working on. I think they both have a really fun vibe and now more than ever I am loving bright, cheery and simple designs!



The first one is for a blooming photography business called Pretty Girl...

The second is for my lovely Mama who just happens to be on speed dial most nights around dinner time! For that reason alone I am so glad she is going to be posting some of her favorite recipes and tidbits from the kitchen on her new blog Coachette's Kitchen...

Stay tuned...some Christmas surprises are right around the corner here at Scoop!

The Summer Scoop

I've kind of been missing in action since the middle of the summer. I got busy with several things...blogs, missing my hubby, having family visit, welcoming the hubs back home, etc. etc. etc.! I've managed to squeeze a few new blog designs in here and there for a few gals, and the latest one was for a friend from college, Amanda, who one my last give-a-way. She has a sweet blog about her family, and now it has a sweet new look...

I've also enjoyed giving Scoop a little face lift! I am going to take a break from my pay day give-a-ways for a little while so I can get caught up and spend time with my family. Thanks so much to all who are interested in my designing endeavors!

Time's Up! And the winner is...

Hooray for Pay Day!

It's here, again! This month has gone fast when it comes to designing, my pace seems to be about a blog a week which is keeping me busy and letting me have a creative outlet! Thanks so much to everyone who is supporting my little endeavor! The latest starts with one of my Give-a-Way Winners Laurie. She is a fellow military wife and mommy to twins whose husband is currently deployed...this girl deserved a makeover!! I admire her aspirations to one day own a bakery, YUMMO! Check out Sweet Peas and Dragonfly's...

My next project was Cheryl and her blog Life Begins at 50, I love the way it turned out!

And last but not least I just wrapped one up for another military gal Amy! She is a sweet BRAND NEW mom (she just had her baby last night!!) They now have a little family of three...

I've got a couple of more blogs patiently sitting on my waiting list, but if you aren't in a huge hurry feel free to enter the Give-A-Way...I'd love to treat your blog to a face lift!

TIMES UP!! I'll announce the winner on Monday!!

Everybody knows that as far as the economy goes, for a lot of people, time's are a little tough! So, in honor of one of everyone's favorite days of the month, PAY DAY, I've decided to do a give-a-way!! Every month, at the first of the month, I will be giving away one free complete blog makeover, because let's face it, sometimes paying for a new blog design doesn't exactly top your financial necessity list! So, throw you name in the hat, the contest will run through Friday and will end at Midnight Pacific time. Mention me on your blog and your automatically entered twice! GOOD LUCK!!

We Salute YOU!

I just had a lot of fun putting together a new blog from scratch! The Spouses Group I am a part of just decided to start a blog to help keep people up to date on the latest.

A Scrap Happy Blog...

I just finished up a new blog design for Michelle at Me & My Scraps! It is full of cheer and if I had to use one word to describe it I'd have to go with HAPPY! Michelle is a talented gal when it comes to paper...so be sure to check her (and her new design out)...

A Modern Little Army

I just completed a blog design for my college roommate and friend Lanessa! She has an adorable family...but they are actually more like their own little army with 4 handsome boys! She is a dedicated military wife and has an amazing story (she battled encephalitis last year after the birth of her fourth son). Check out their modern design (I'm loving it if I do say so myself) and her story, it's inspiring!

Wow! I must admit I was a little overwhelmed with the number of entries! Y'all know how to make a girl feel good!! So, we're currently on vacation and have limited resources. So, I had my trusty little assistant Carter help do an old fashioned drawing! First I wrote all of your names down (don't worry I put those of you who gave me a plug in twice)...then I put them all inside my sunglasses case (I told you my resources were limited right!?)...


my trusty assistant gave it a shake shake...

and then she drew three lucky names....

and the winners are....

Congratulations Autumn, Emily, and Kristi!! Please email me at beth@bethsaxton.com and we'll get started on your makeovers! Thank you so much to everyone who entered.
