    My name is Glenda, and I love to enter challenges at several different stores. I thought I would try The Lilypad since Cynthia is here! However, I don't have any kits from here to get started. I was trying to find something on sale. I usually shop on $2.00 Tuesdays or for other great specials that are offered. I tried to find a freebie for new people here, but didn't find one. I did sign up for the newsletter! It looks like it will be fun here!!!

    Any friend of dear Cynthia is a friend of mine! welcome! and I highly recommend signing up for newsletters of your favorite designers (all of them tee hee) and if you have facebook, LIKE their pages. There are some great sales Every WEdnesday, and Fridays. Wednesdays are SOSN, something old, something new and usually 50% off and then Fridays are new releases. They go on sale, and many of the designers have additional coupons come out with the sales too! The savings are everywhere! Chats sometimes have coupons too!
    Enjoy and laugh. and welcome!

    Hi Glenda, Welcome welcome! Cynthia is such a bad influence isn't she!? (joking - she's the opposite!) yep Wednesdays are a bargain here with Something Old and Something New sales and there is always a fun and inspiring challenge to do - hopefully you found them already here https://the-lilypad.com/forum/forum/challenge-pad.61/ and the designer ones sometimes have a freebie as well

    Glenda! I am sorry, because I'm sure you hear this all the time. But this made me start singing, "Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains..." (I was in a high school performance of Oklahoma!). If you are looking for an economical way to build your Lilypad stash, the After the Rain Collab is only $5 and is great for Spring. [​IMG]

    Welcome Glenda! You picked a great day to say welcome, today starts our SOSN (something old something new) SALE, every TUESDAY night and WEDNESDAY all day designers put some of their products on sale. Like the name says the products could be something BRAND SPANKING NEW or it could be an oldie in the store.

    This kit that Julie linked you to it, it's not only economical, it's HUGE and ALL proceeds go to help one of our DEAR LILYPAD designers, Sabrina Dupre.

    Welcome! @AnneofAlamo had some good advice. Some of the designers have freebies through their newsletters. I'd check out their blogs & facebook pages too. And of course the 50% off sale on Wednesdays!

    Welcome Glenda! So glad you found your way here and that you want to try out our challenges. There are tons to do here, so there's something for everyone. We do have some freebies in the shop from the various designers so you can get a taste of their products and styles. You also will want to be around for iNSD (interNational Scrapbook Day) because there just might be a huge fun kit coming for free. :agree

    Hi there and Welcome to The Pad! I see that @Karen already pointed you to the freebies in the shop. Also there is a free template every month for the template challenge, and others have mentioned the 50% off sale every Wednesday. Hopefully those can get you started.

    Also, once you start completing challenges you will earn discounts to be used in the store. :) So glad you're here and hope that you will feel at home.

    All great advice above! So I'll chime in to say WELCOME, so glad Cynthia has encouraged you to check out the Lilypad. Looking forward to getting to know you and I've already seen your beautiful work in our gallery! :)

    PS... I know Lynn Grieveson usually gives away a sweet little freebie element type pack with her own Designer monthly challenge ... you can find it here! (not sure if that was already mentioned specifically?)
