Ok, ok. If you've been with me from the beginning--like Elle Designs beginning--then you know that technically it is not Citrus and Mint's 2nd birthday or even the store's birthday or even my birthday (mine's in June if you really want to know). But this month marks two years since I started designing!!! And I want to celebrate!  This week's celebrations include a sale in the store (click HERE), a birthday clip art freebie, a Pixel Scrapper blog train freebie, and a GIVEAWAY! That's right! Let the party begin. (sale actually starts today a little early)

This is the annual Citrus and Mint sale. Four days only. Don't miss out!

Sign up HERE for the newsletter to get this freebie. See THIS post for the Pixel Scrapper blog train freebie.

Win a free kit from my store! No complicated re-shares or ridiculous rules. Just a simple choose, comment, and WIN!

Rules:
1. Visit the shop HERE.
2. Pick out your favorite kit.
3. Leave a comment on this post before February 5, 2014 at 12:00 AM EST letting me know which kit you would like (bundles are excluded). Make sure that you include your email address so that I have a way to contact you if you win.
4. I will randomly select TWO lucky winners and post the results by February 6, 2014. Winners will have one week (until February 13, 2014) to claim their prize, otherwise I will randomly choose again.

**Remember to enter the giveaway on the birthday post! All you have to do is tell me your favorite kit from my store and you could win it!**

Happy Valentine's Day/month! I saw this video the other day and it made me cry. Sometimes we are bombarded with so many other fake notions of "love" that we forget what true love is. Watch it. I promise you will want to be a better spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend because of it.

It's also time for another Pixel Scrapper blog train! Click the button below to be taken to the download for my portion. Find the entire list HERE. This month is also the 2 year anniversary of when I started designing (started as Elle Designs, now Citrus and Mint). I'm celebrating by having a sale in my shop. 4 days only so don't miss out! There is also a newsletter freebie and a giveaway of one of my shop kits. See the birthday post for details. VISIT MY SHOP HERE.

Also check out these Valentines goodies in the store.

Dawn is one of my new favorite people. Not only are her cards fabulous, but she is also one of the nicest people you will ever talk to!  We've been doing a lot of work together and I wanted to highlight her work to show how people are using Citrus and Mint in their commercial use designs.  She creates cards and invitations specifically for military families (visit her shop at http://www.thepaperanchor.com/).
Aren't they fabulous?!

Here are two ADORABLE layouts from my CT Tiffany using the new baby clip art set! Aren't her babies so sweet?!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I decided to take a break from designing and focus on enjoying Christmas. The break really helped me brainstorm some great ideas for future kits. I released 3 new products this week alone!

I also started a newsletter. If you are subscribed to blog post updates through email and the newsletter, you might be getting double information. I would only subscribe to the newsletter because I will be posting coupons and freebies for newsletter subscribers only.  Speaking of which, I just sent out the January newsletter and it had this free clip art set:

If you missed it, don't worry, I will add the link to the next newsletter too. Or maybe I'll figure out how to send it after new people sign up for the newsletter. So many things to learn....
