New FEATURE at Osten Wilkins Designs FORUM

OMGoodness!!! I'll just bet you didn't expect to hear from me again so SOON, huh???!!! Well, it seems that each time I create a kit -- I always end up with a few EXTRA GOODIES that just doesn't seem to fit anywhere.

I decided how I was going to solve that issue. In order to BOOST membership at my FORUM, and get a more active participation rate going, I've added TWO new Boards to the place.

Forum Freebies I & II. Members can now pick up those EXTRA GOODIES; if they have acquired the correct amount of posts to gain entrance into those boards. If you post at least 30 times, your board status becomes a "Jr." Member; as a Jr. Member you will be able to access and download some FREE Goodies that coordinate with my kits. If you post at least 200 times, your board status becomes a "Full" Member and you will be able to access and download even MORE GOODIES.

Since you can't see what's been posted until you reach those levels, I decided that I would show you some previews of those items here and at the Forum.

My first available download in the "Forum Freebie I" board is this:

My first available download in the "Forum Freebie II" board is this:

SO. . .What are you WAITING for??? If you want them, become a member at Osten Wilkins Designs Forum Community and START POSTING!!!! EARN YOUR GOODIES TODAY!!!

Until Next time. . .

New RELEASE in SHOP NOW!!!

Hello Dear Friends,

Yes, it's been forever since I've made the rounds and the same applies to new kit creation. I now have ONE WEEK left of teaching Summer School and am looking forward to getting back into the design groove. Working two jobs at the same time has been not only a personal struggle but has left me very little time to do the things I really LOVE and be able to share with you.

At LONG LAST -- I just finished up my newest release, "Mystical Rapture". It actually ended up being TWO complete kits -- however; they coordinate so well together that you could mix and match them up to create ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.

You may find them at my shop HERE

For ONE WEEK they are ON SALE at 33% off. Regularly priced at $5.98 you can grab them for $4.00 each. Of course, you won't want just one without the other.

Here's the previews --

Mystical Rapture I

Mystical Rapture II

But WAIT that's NOT ALL that I have up my sleeve. On June 26th I will be hosting a SPECIAL **Embellish It** Chat Event featuring coordinating Goodies from both kits. I will be hosting two chats, an early one at 7:30 p.m. EST and one at the regular time 11:00 p.m. EST. For those energetic scrappers that participate in the challenge will get a FABULOUS coordinating Posting Bonus!

Here's a sneak peek at the goodies I will be giving away that evening.

Here's a Preview of YOUR GOODIE!!!

BUSY DUDE

Howdy All --

I know, I KNOW!!! It's been awhile. Yes, and for a FEW GREAT reasons. One, not so GREAT, I've had to take a summer job, however, to have the job available to me, I had to start NOW. So, I've been working two jobs. Let's NOT talk about GASOLINE!!! ROFLMBO

Another reason is because I've just released my newest kit, and it's a MEGA KIT!!

For ONE WEEK ONLY (I just might extend that a bit), you can purchase the WHOLE COLLECTION at a SPECIAL 35% off price!!!

Here are the STARS of the show, right? Well, I thought I'd INTRODUCE you all to them. RIGHT NOW!!!

I'll begin with 'HENRI', the BOLD (Star Wannabe) and JUST a HINT of Individuality.

'KATHERYN'





'CATHERINE'





'MARIA'





'JAYNE'





'ANNE'[/b][/center]





and 'ELIZABETH'

Each mini kit will be SOLD INDIVIDUALLY or as a COMPLETE COLLECTION. I really DO HOPE YOU LOVE them as much as I do.

Until NEXT TIME --

Grand Opening SALE-a-bration - DUDE's NEW STORE!!

Howdy All,

Well, as you know - I've been getting ready to "OFFICIALLY" OPEN my new store!! I wanted to let you know that on Saturday, March 22nd - I will be having a 25% off SALE. WOO HOO!!!

I will also be in my new Chatroom from NOON EST till the DUDE gets too tired, handing out some GOODIES that coordinate with my NEWEST RELEASE, "Frivolous Fancies" Scrapkit.

"Frivolous Fancies" will be released "ON SALE" so the coupon excludes the new release. However, I do have an Xtra Plain Textured Paper Pack Add-on, a Ribbons & Bows Add-on, and a Blossoms & Borders Add-on that you can get with your 25% off coupon.

Where can you get this coupon?? Well, there are several places, in some of the Yahoo Groups that I advertise in, over at my PERSONAL PRIVATE Google Group, registered DUDEs Forum members, registered DUDEs Shop customers, or even at the CHAT!!!

Your 25% off coupon will be good for ONE WEEK ONLY!! and is good on everything in my SHOP, except for the new release of "Frivolous Fancies" which will be ON SALE for $3.00.

Now, I'm sure you want to see some PREVIEWS of this GRAND NEW KIT and I also have PREVIEWS of the GOODIES I will be giving away at the Saturday Chat!!! Who knows the Goodies might even show up for any registered members of the forum, too!!!

So, HOP, SKIP, JUMP, or FLY on over to my new site and GET REGISTERED so YOU won't be left out!!!
