"Peek, Seek, & Design Challenge" is a Treasure Hunt through several DigiSister's Designers blogs and other locations. At each place you will search for the gold nuggets (game pieces) that are strategically placed. And with each nugget you find, there will be a set of instructions that you must follow before going to the next hunt. All-in-all it has your mystery, intrigue, and lots and lots of FUN!! Oh, and did I mention the loads of treasure you will get by playing the "Peek, Seek, & Design Challenge"?

If you are successful in your treasure hunting by placing correctly all the necessary game pieces that you find along the treasure map into a layout and posting it where it should be, you will get another TREASURE:

The Peek, Seek, & Design Challenge starts (today), September 15th and runs through October 14th, 2011.

At each one of these objects you will be taken to one of the DigiSisters designer's website where you must "SEEK" out the golden nugget (game pieces) that reflects the "Peek, Seek, & Design Challenge" button. You will grab your pieces!! With each golden nugget (game piece) you will receive a set of instructions that you follow to complete a layout. When done you will post your layout in the DigiSister's Gallery (the big RED x on the map) and also here!
Here is a copy of the Treasure Map that you will find here. Click to play the Peek, Seek, & Design Challenge!

Oh, and do NOT forget to leave me a message in the forum sharing your link to your layout in the gallery!

At one location, the DigiSisters Store (whale), I have hidden a wildcard for you! The wildcard is optional. However, it is something that you really, really, want!! LOL. The wildcard for this month contains 5 items that you have the right to "exchange" ONE item on your current layout (except for Farmer Lisa's game piece found here), with one item in the WILDCARD package. HINT: Look for the Peek, Seek, & Design Challenge Button on the package preview.

Grab Them While You Can!!

2011-06-28T15:39:00.000-07:00

My heart goes out to those who didn't visit my blog in time, and are upset they didn't get my FREE items. I wish not to make anyone mad or upset. I got into designing because I enjoy doing it.

I choose to post FREEbies to share with my friends. These are not FREEbies that will last forever. If you wish to grab them before the link expires, then please consider signing up to my RSS Feeds. Right now, I am manually "expiring" my links after 300 FREE downloads are given away. There are some items that will remain FREE for a number of days, for instance the Blog Train products will remain active for 14 days, while other Blog Trains will be 30 days. It depends upon the "rules" to play in their games.

I originally set the 300 download mark because well, things don't last forever. I just didn't realize HOW fast my products would be downloaded. If you wish for me to increase the 300 mark, then ask nicely. Just let me know your thoughts. I am reminded of something that my Father said, and in fact I keep hearing him saying it.... You have not because you ask not! LOL. So if there is a NEED, I CAN increase it. I LOVE to share!

I would LOVE to hear what you think about this.
