Heather, I feel your pain. When I first joined, it was the huge yearly event, MOC, and I only had about 3 kits! You'll get there! Like everybody else has said, download anything free that you can and sign up for all of the designer's newsletters. Hugs.
You can use freebies/retired kits by current Lilypad designers in the gallery. Freebies in the store, on some designers blogs, and most designers with newsletters give a freebie away to new subscribers.
I'm sorry you're frustrated :-/ good job picking a huge kit to get you started though! Your first page looks great!
Wednesday is SOSN! (50% something old something new). Plus, attending chats and scraps will usually get you a coupon, and challenges get you coupons, too. Newsletters will get you coupons and freebies... lol Hope that's all helpful :) hello, btw. ;)
Lappy died while updating to win 10. I can't bring myself to rebuy everything on tlp, so my digi future is up in the air
Would you need to re buy it all?! I imagine download links could be reset for some recent purchases. This is so hard to imagine what I'd do. When mine died, I just plugged my hard drive into my desktop. I think I lost one download only, and that was replaced (another store). Hugs!!!
We can take care of resetting those for you, Heather. Just send me a conversation when you're ready to download. Sorry to hear about your laptop.
I keep saying I need to take a buying break, but then @Lena Gardner and Snap Happier comes out each month
bah. Can't finish my December challenges because I don't have anything TLP that would match the photos I was going to use
