It’s finally here! The September 2020 DigiScrap Parade is live! As always, we think you are going to really love what the participating designers have worked up for you this quarter. When you visit their sites, make sure to leave them a lot of love… because they worked hard to make this quarter’s Parade possible… ♥
A quick note about navigating through the Parade… some of our participants are using their main web site/blog/shop to share their creations, and some are using a social media site such as their Facebook page, Twitter feed, or Instagram account. For those of you who don’t use any/all of those social media platforms… no worries! You can still access each of the pages that house each Parade freebie download (yes, even if you’re not a Facebook/Twitter/Instagram user and/or are not signed-in to one of those accounts).
If you have questions for any of the designers and/or trouble with their downloads, please use their contact info to get in touch with them directly (i.e. they don’t all read the comments you might leave here on this thread, which is separate from their own sites… so you’ll want to reach out to them individually, if necessary, instead of leaving troubleshooting comments here — using the contact info you will find on their web sites). 😉
Enjoy! 😀
Many thanks to all the designers for their lovely contributions!
thanks so much to all designers for their generosity and their great job !!!! 🙂
Dawn by Design is requesting that we subscribe to her newsletter (which I already do) in order to receive the link to her portion.
Hi, Paige. I forgot to schedule the newsletter for current subscribers before the Parade went live. I sent it during my lunch break today at work. Please check your email!
As always so generous and beautiful! Thanks to all the designers for sharing your art!
Thank you to each of the designers for this wonderful Collaboration… It’s a shame, impossible to have the one from Dawn By Design, there is no link
The link to the download is in her newsletter, if that helps!
Hi, Celine. If you are a new subscriber then you should have been redirected to a webpage with the download link. If you are a current subscriber then please know I forgot to schedule the newsletter for current subscribers before the Parade went live. I sent it during my lunch break today at work. Please check your email!
It’s extremely unfortunate that I can’t get your part, because I do not have any interest in signing up for yet another newsletter. Oh well.
I also could not find a link to Dawn by Design without subscribing to her newsletter which I am already subscribed to. Is her link going to come in her newsletter?
Just received her newsletter and that is where the link is.
Hi, Carolyn. I forgot to schedule the newsletter for current subscribers before the Parade went live. I sent it during my lunch break today at work. Glad you got it!
Thank you to everyone for all the fabulous blog train kits!
Thank you all
Oh yay! It’s here. Thank you so much!
I’m bummed that I will miss out on part of the parade (Dawn by Design) because I do not want to sign up for yet another newsletter.
Hi, K. I get it about not wanting another newsletter. If you’d like to look at my past Parade freebies that are available to download without a subscription, please visit my blog here: https://dbdblog.com/tag/parade/.
Super pretty! Many thanks to all the designers. Thanks so much!
Thank you all for your wonderful creations and your generosity
I agree. I understand why designers want subscribers (it’s an inexpensive, easy way to promote your products) but offering your portion ONLY by being a subscriber defeats the purpose of a blog hop. It’s definitely not a good move, IMO.
Hi, Belinda. It’s true that I decided to go a different route with this Parade than last ones. If you’d like to look at my past Parade freebies that are available to download without a subscription, please visit my blog here: https://dbdblog.com/tag/parade/.
Belinda, I agree, it defeats the purpose of a blog hop, and makes the designer seem greedy.
I agree with Belinda. This is the first time I have seen this on the blog train. I do have a lot of DBD products and enjoy her designs, but one more newsletter is something I don’t need. Sad to miss out on her contribution.
Hi, Judy. I unsubscribe to emails regularly and understand if people don’t want another newsletter. If you’d like to look at my past Parade freebies that are available to download without a subscription, please visit my blog here: https://dbdblog.com/tag/parade/.
Thank you so much, all… Every piece was amazing! ❤
I tried to leave a thank you on every page, but on a couple of pages I couldn't figure out how to leave comments. I so appreciate you all and your generosity!
Hello everyone. We are closing the comments on this post (a literal first for the DigiScrap Parade blog)… because nothing productive is going to come from anyone continuing to heap criticism on a designer who chose to use this particular Parade to build her small business during a pandemic that has wreaked financial havoc on the citizens of this planet (again, a literal first time for her, as she mixed it up this time by trying something new).
Respectfully, everyone… this is a freebie hop designed to give exposure to the designers of this industry, while also offering a fun way for customers to try new-to-them designers and get free product. This is truly a case of — as my parents were known to say when I was growing up — something that is a “privilege, not a right.” Nobody is forcing anyone to download the freebies that our designers spend countless hours creating (for free!) for this community. There are 15 stops on this Parade and 14 of them (93+%) do not have a requirement attached. Nobody who chooses not to subscribe to a newsletter is being deprived of free digital product; they’re simply getting LESS free digital product, as a result of their own choices.
Please never — never — come to this site again and call our designers “greedy” because you’re only getting 14 freebies instead of 15, through choosing not to support their small businesses other than to download their free work.
