I've had fun posting these challenges and playing while the boss is away. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I need to remind you all about the entry deadlines from the last two days.  You don't want to miss out on any chances to win more Tater products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Template Challenge - Post a comment to the blog entry posted &lt;a href="http://taterscraps.blogspot.com/2009/12/let-fun-begin-december-2009-tater-tot.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; by Midnight MST Today, Dec 30th.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Name That Product Game - Email your answers to tatertotsct at gmail.com (replace the spaces and at with the @ sign) by 11:59 MST; Today, Dec 30th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Since today is the last day we can play before Tater gets back, I thought it would be fun to come up with some ideas for new kits that we all would like Tater to design for us.  Don't you think it's time she got back to work?  Me too!  If we can't play anymore neither can she, and she's going to need something to work on.  ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That brings me to today's challenge.  Your challenge today is to post ideas for a kit or kits that you would like Tater to design.  Chances are you have some photos in your stash that you haven't found the perfect kit for yet.  Here's your chance to let the designer know exactly what you want in a kit, so you can get those photos scrapped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just post a comment on this blog by Midnight MST tonight telling Tater what you would like to see in your kit.  If you have ideas for more than one kit, post them in separate comments to get more entries into the contest.  Please make sure your comments are fairly specific so Tater has something to work with.  DON'T just post that you want more boy kits.  Tell her what you would like to see in a kit... Things like a what colors, elements, papers, alphas or anything else you would like to see in your dream kit.  You can post links to photos, whatever would inspire your new kit.  Now, don't worry.  You don't have to post a huge list,  but do put some thought into what you would like to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OKAY, here's the part you have been waiting for.  The winner from Janine's comment/favorite product/facebook challenge yesterday is......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;List Randomizer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were 16 items in your list.

I hope you are having fun with Kayla's fun template from yesterday and scrappin' away with it, but don't forget to post it before Midnight MST on Wednesday December 30th for your chance to win the second gift card.  I will announce the winner for the newsletter comments at the end of this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's get to today's fun!  Some of you may know Tater's products well, but some of you may not you have two chances to win a gift card with today's challenges.  The first challenge is to complete the Name that Product game below and e-mail your answers to the Tater Tots at the following e-mail address: tatertotsct at gmail.com (replace the spaces and at with the @ sign).  Everyone that gets ALL the answers correct (*hint some of these are collabs that Tater has participated in with other designers or for daily downloads) will be put in for a drawing from Mr. Random for one of the gift cards up for grabs.  You have until Wednesday December 30th at 11:59 MST to have your answers e-mailed to be entered for your chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cTVtHX5C94c/SzjC870p_DI/AAAAAAAAAAU/pd7YqMHXv7I/s1600-h/Name+that+Kit+Game++copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 480px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cTVtHX5C94c/SzjC870p_DI/AAAAAAAAAAU/pd7YqMHXv7I/s320/Name+that+Kit+Game++copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420296503646878770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=37"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Click here to go to the Designs by Tater store at ScrapMatters to start browsing to find the answers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So since I love multitasking your other chance to win is a little easier and you have multiple ways to get yourself entered more than once for this drawing.  The first way is to post a comment and say hi and let us know how you are liking the games and challenges, the second is let me know your favorite Designs by Tater product or the one you would like to have the most and why (which you should be able to do while you search for the answers to the game).  The third is to become a fan on Tater's facebook page it is linked &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&amp;amp;id=1467366880#/pages/Designs-By-Tater/177575948486"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; then post that you are a fan, if you are already a fan GREAT just post that you are already a fan and that is your third way you can be entered to win the gift card.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;You have until 11:59 CST to post the different comments listed above for your chances to win from Mr. Random.&lt;/span&gt;  The winner for this gift card will be announced tomorrow by Kayla when she gives the next way to win in our games and challenges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now what you've been waiting for from yesterday, the winner of the gift card from the random generator for signing up for the newsletter is..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were 12 items in your list.

December 2009 Tater Tot Challenges &amp; Freebies - Day One</title><description>Hi everyone,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kayla here... Tater's gone off playing, so some of us Tater Tots (CT members) have decided to hijack her blog and have some fun too.  We can't let Tater have all the fun now can we?  And the best part about the boss being gone is that YOU will be able to play along with us too.  We have some GCs to &lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=37"&gt;Tater's store at Scrap Matters&lt;/a&gt; that we will be giving away, so come back each day from Dec 28th - Dec 30th to find out how you can enter for a chance to win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, let's get this party started!  Today we are going to give you a couple of ways to play along to win one of the two gift certificates that are up for grabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up, is an easy way to enter.  We want you to be able to stay informed about all the happenings at Designs by Tater, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;so you need to signup for the blog newsletter&lt;/span&gt;.  Just enter your email address in the subscribe to my blog area on the right side of this screen.  Follow the instructions to sign up and then come back and leave a comment saying that you signed up for the newsletter.  Signup for the newsletter and come back with your comment BEFORE 1:00 am MST on Dec 29th,  and you will be entered to win a GC for one product of your choice in the &lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=37"&gt;Designs by Tater store at Scrap Matters&lt;/a&gt;.  The winner will be chosen by random generator and announced on this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up, is a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;template challenge&lt;/span&gt;.  It's a little more involved, but still a win win for everyone because we're giving you a template set, and an incentive to get some scrappin done, plus a chance to win a GC for one product of your choice in the &lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=37"&gt;Designs by Tater store at Scrap Matters&lt;/a&gt;.  Wow that was a mouthful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here's how the template challenge will work.  Download the templates and use one to make a layout.  Post it in any online gallery of your choice and come back here and post a link to your layout in the comments.  You have until Midnight MST on Wednesday, December 30th to post the link to your layout to be entered to win the GC. &lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/179214129/e9215764/ksd_Dec09TaterTotChallenge.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.4shared.com/file/179214129/e9215764/ksd_Dec09TaterTotChallenge.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 600px;" src="http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy119/DesignsByTaterCT/Kaylas%20Layouts/Template04_webpreview.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/179214129/e9215764/ksd_Dec09TaterTotChallenge.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Image is linked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to modify the template as needed, and use any kit you would like.  Of course, we love it when you use Designs by Tater products, but it's not required for this contest.  The winner will be chosen by random generator and the GC will be awarded on this blog on Dec. 31, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for hanging in with me to the end of this post.

Thank GOODNESS!! It's been a busy week...heck...it's been a busy couple of weeks. Well...I do have a new kit to release today so let's get right to it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/product.php?productid=3354&amp;amp;cat=6" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc22/taterslp/folder-115.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Up 'til Midnight" is my take on a New Year's themed kit. Growing up my family was big on celebrating the holidays and New Year's Eve was a holiday that I always looked forward to because I knew it meant that we get to stay up late.

New Release!</title><description>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi there! Yippie it's Friday!! It's been somewhat of a rough week for us...we had to take my son to the ER on Sunday because he was running a 103 temperature!! Thank goodness he didn't have the flu but he had some other type of viral infection...that apparently just had to work it's course. I kept him home from school for 3 days and yesterday was his first day back...and let me tell you...he was so excited to go!! But now I think I've got whatever he had!! I tell you...I don't get it...I am so OCD when it comes to hand-washing...so I've been washing my hand's like a crazy lady, spraying Lysol, changing sheets and pillowcase everyday!!! Uggh!! Oh well...today it doesn't seem as bad but I'm definitely not myself!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today my son is off school because of parent/teacher conferences. I'm so excited...it will be our very first and I am hoping that I hear nothing but good things from his teacher. We will see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok so lets get to it...I do have a new product hitting the ScrapMatters Store today. It was an old Speed Scrap Participation Prize. Take a look...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/product.php?productid=858&amp;amp;cat=5" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc22/taterslp/folder-87.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As most of you know...I love to make alphas...and I really love basic alphas that you can use for just about any layout! Also with Halloween coming up this alpha would be perfect for those LO's too!  This one also recolors very easily!! So if you didn't grab it during the Speed Scrap...you can grab it &lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/product.php?productid=2814&amp;amp;cat=144&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; in my store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also my CT call is still going on....I've been overwhelmed by the amount of applications that I've received so far! It is going to be so hard to narrow this down to a group of 8....I may just have to increase the number because there is just so much talent out there in our digi-scrap community! Just incase you missed the ad...you have until Oct. 28th to send in your apps! I will send emails out on Oct. 29th letting you know if you've made the team or not. Here's the ad... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc22/taterslp/?action=view&amp;amp;current=ct_call_ad.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc22/taterslp/ct_call_ad.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well there's a football game tonight but I don't think I'll be going since I'm not feeling very well. I think tonight I will just hang out here at home...and talk my husband into ordering our favorite pizza...yeah I'm sick but hey...a girl's gotta eat...and I am mostly definitely NOT cooking anything today!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a good one everybody!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3067632793935175450-8555978401238733428?l=taterscraps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://taterscraps.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-friday-new-release.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tater)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067632793935175450.post-2233910771635242169</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-19T08:00:00.345-04:00</atom:updated><title>It's Manic Monday &amp; CT Call</title><description>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div id="yiv742418536"&gt;It's another Manic Monday!!!

I'm not one for all of the scary Halloween stuff...so when I decided that I was gonna make a Halloween themed kit I knew I wanted to do something that was cute and kid friendly!  I jam packed it with lots of colorful patterned papers and 5 solid papers (not shown in preview) so you have variety to choose from.  Also for this weekend only Boogity Boo is 20% off!! So if you want it...grab it now!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it's been raining here the last couple of days. I don't think I'll be going to the football game tonight in all this rain. Last weekend we took some friends of ours to our favorite apple orchard that I've been going to since I was a kid...and we picked a ton of apples.  I think tonight we are just going to hang out and make some caramel apples....yummy!  Oh yeah, and I also need to talk to my ds to find out what he wants to be for Halloween! Earlier he mentioned he wanted to be a nascar racer...hmmmm...haven't seen any costumes like that...so if you do please let me know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great weekend everyone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3067632793935175450-2042080445118658307?l=taterscraps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://taterscraps.blogspot.com/2009/10/boogity-boo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tater)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067632793935175450.post-8620575355605961220</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-08T15:39:34.304-04:00</atom:updated><title></title><description>Hello!

Life around our house has been really busy lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to pop in real quick though and show you something. My son turned 6 this month and this past Saturday was his Birthday Party. He was wanting a Tranformer themed party so I made him dress up in his Bumblebee costme that he had from Halloween last year and I took some action shots of him so I could put his picture on the invitation. Then I decided to go ahead and make some matching treat toppers to go on his goodie bags...take a look...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc22/taterslp/bday_treat_toppers.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think they both turned out pretty well...and he was really excited about them. I used a kit called Incredi-boy by Britt-ish Designs and GG Digital Designs. You can find the kit &lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/shop/product.php?productid=2242&amp;amp;cat=0&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; at ScrapMatters!! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ok...that's it for me for now. I've got to get back to my design work.
