Happy Sunday!

It’s a cold and snowy morning here in Central Ontario, and my forays out into the big people world continue today. I’d much rather stay home and work and read and watch Netflix, but I promised Shaun that I would at least try to stay active while he’s gone this weekend. So today I’ll be going to the gym and then going to do laundry this afternoon.  But before that, there’s a newsletter to write and breakfast to be had.

So, let’s get started…

Cyber Monday Flash Sale

I wasn’t going to do any sales for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but I’ve had several people ask whether there will be a sale on the Creative Repurposing course this weekend. So last night I decided to do a really quick sale on both courses. You can save 30% on either one with coupon code CYBERMONDAY30 through end of day, Monday, November 29.

Creative Repurposing

Amember Demystified

If you’re thinking of picking up Amember anytime soon, you can save 30% there as well. You’ll see the discounted price on the home page.

Ruthie’s Top Picks This Week

Pick #1 – Graphics Emporium by Sue & Di – I love this new product line from Sue and Di that gives you a way to create your own graphics without having to rely on the big graphics sites and their ever more restrictive licensing requirements. It’s on sale through tomorrow for only $47 – no coupon required.  (Full details in the Low Content Resources section)

Pick #2 – Bundle of Etsy Training from Sue – One of my goals for 2022 is to really up my Etsy game, and one of my favorite people to learn from is Sue at Createful Journals. For her Black Friday sale, she’s bundles up 4 of her best-selling Etsy products and given you a 50% discount through November 30. No coupons required. (Full details in the Tools and Training section)

Pick #3 – No Spend Black Friday from Lynette and Friends – I’m involved in this awesome giveaway that’s more like a bundle sale for the third year in a row. There are 29 full products available all at 100% discount from now through November 30. My new product is a set of Floral Coloring Calendars, and Lynette has created a brand new Mandala Maker for us that I can’t wait to play with! Plus there are goodies from most of your favorite content providers and some courses and tools as well.

Tools and Training

Black Friday at Book Publisher Tools

Hans is having a Black Friday sale that’s on now until Cyber Monday. He’s put two bundles of Puzzle Maker Pro products together to make getting started with publishing puzzle books easier. Or, if you’ve already got some modules and just want to fill the holes in your collection, you can use the coupon code CYBERMONDAY to save 25% on everything in the store.

Ruthie’s Tip: If you were on my Digital Papers Workshop a couple of weeks ago, I talked about using Hans’ POD Graphics Maker to create digital papers. Use the CYBERMONDAY code to pick them up with the 25% discount.

If you missed the video I shared yesterday about how I use both of these tools together to create digital papers and patterns, you can watch that here:

And my freebie this week is all the digital papers I made during the video. You can grab those here
