Blog Freebie....your opinions needed....

[Nicole Young]

Ok guys, with all the changes to the CAFE challenge, I want to hear what kind of freebie you want to see on my blog! Here are your choices....

-Backpacks
-Stamps
-Word Art or Titles
-Overlays
-Alphas
-Groupies
-Ploppers
-Quick Clicks (templates)
-Clipping Masks

just give me what you DEFINITELY want to see, and what you DON'T want at all! That will give me a good idea of what YOU guys want and hopefully I can please most of ya!!!! :)

[luv2stamp82]

My favorite things are stamps and word art, I don't really use ploppers at all.

[renee s]

This is such a sweet idea, Nicole! Ok, here's my list of likes:
Backpacks (if they coordinate with your kits)
Stamps
WA or Titles
Alphas (yours are the best!)
Quick clicks (especially if they feature spaces for 3 or more pics)
Clicking Masks

I think that groupies are really cute, but I have several of them in my stash, and I hardly ever use them. Plus, I look at the pieces in the groupie and wish I could pull them apart and use them separately. So, with that said, how about adding a mini-element set (like 4 items) to the above choices? That would be cool. More choices to use for your challenges.
And I never use ploppers. (Ok I may have used them once or twice, but that was when the birthday bash was going on here at dsp and we had to use them to get the posting bonus.

Love your stuff, Nicole!

[janetklm]

:help: I love all your products and now you want us to make a choice????
:think: :think: :think: If we only can choose 1 I would prefer the QC's and for the "don't" part I'd say :think: Backpack.
Very personal reasons: QC's because I'm having a scrappersblock and no backpack simply because I do have many of your kits and AOP's wich all have wonderful backgrounds and more than enough to use for a long time.
Not much help I'm afraid...:wave:

[TalyQ]

wordart, stamps, mini elements sets, alphas overlays - those I would definitely use

I don't use much quick clicks, groupies and never ploppers - just not enough fun to use them =)

[MaryElizabeth]

Word art and groupies (for those of us who can't cluster, at all). Ploppers are not my thing either:)

[SilverHealer]

Stamps, word art or titles, overlays, alphas, or groupies :) Maybe even a couple bonus elements to go with the current challenge?

[Shana34]

I would love word art, backpacks, groupies, clipping masks, alphas or templates. The only thing I wouldn't really be into over and over is ploppers.

[Scrapping4Him]

Nicole - anything you create would be desirable! But if we must specify, my order of preference would be: clipping masks, groupies, titles, overlays, stamps.

[ReneT]

My preference are:

overlays
clipping masks
word art

[windstorm]

For: alphas, overlays, wordart, groupies, stamps

For the don't ploppers..

[romey]

Anything you do will be great. My preference is overlays and clipping masks. I don't do ploppers either...

[pammygirl1001]

Stamps, word art or titles, overlays, alphas, or groupies :) Maybe even a couple bonus elements to go with the current challenge?

Ditto ....:applause:

[Muma]

Overlays, Stamps, word art or titles, alphas, groupies
That would be my order of preference, however anything you create would be fabulous. One thing I hardly ever use though are ploppers.

[littlekiwi]

I don't use ploppers too often but anything else would be great

[Jill W]

Nicole - to echo the others, your designs just rock all together!!

My personal choice would be a masks or overlays - something that can be used over and over again ...

Thanks for asking us!!:)

[stitchmich]

I love everything you make, but like so many others, don't use ploppers.

[mariafer]

Just joining in to say I don't use Ploppers either! I also don't use Quick Clicks much but anything else I would love (especially stamps!)

[Kathleen]

I use a little of everything, so I am easy!! In the word art category, I would love to see a set of your word cloud type stuff. I have tried to make my own, and seriously I think there is just some secret to it that I am missing!

[happybeingamom]

I echo the no ploppers. I just don't use them. I like fiddling and making a page.

[HeatherH]

I hardly ever use ploppers (sort of takes the fun out of scrapping for me:lol:) and I find I hardly ever use backpacks even though I like them (most of the kits have plenty of papers already). Pretty much everything else I love and will get used, especially alphas and clipping masks!

[renee s]

I with the store could see this thread. They have given away ploppers for their freebie three weeks in a row.

[chanmansmom]

ok, I have to be different I guess because I love your ploppers, I also love masks,overlays and wordart and Quick Clicks.Oh and I love stamps too.

What I dont love~how rude huh? lol.....what Iam not crazy about and rarely use is Alpha and Backpacks or groupies.I have loads of these and never use them.

ok, Nicole.....you asked...lol


But having said that, I am happy with anything that you choose to create!!! I love your stuff!!
You are so generous.Thanks Nicole

[ScrappyDew]

Anything you create would be great for me! I just love your work!!!
I don't use quick clicks as I don't know how...never figured it out and right now don't have the time to learn.

I love backpacks that coordinate with your challenges. Overlays are great! I love new unique alphas again great if they go with your weekly challenge! The same for the WA or stamps! I like ploppers, sometimes my brain is just not feeling creative and I will use a plopper to get me started, then I can add extra things if I like. I love groupies too as I'm not very good at those! Pretty much I named everything you suggested except the Quick Clicks, oh, I have no clue what a clipping mask is so probably don't have much use for those either!

HUGS from an IA native that migrated to NE!

[>>aruaL<<]

I love quick clicks, they are so easy to use and are often a starting point for me.

I'd love matching WA or stamps!

[Nicole Young]

OK you guys totally rock! Thanks for jumping on this and letting me know! I will go through in more details all the answers and make sure that the faves you guys gave me are whats on my blog the most! :) Keep letting me know if more opinions come!

[>>aruaL<<]

I realized today that I'll have to be more careful when shopping.... I nearly bought the entire Vintage Memoirs kit, and part of it is already a bonus for the current challenge (which Im going to post later on). Ooops. That would have been a big bummer!

[cherebus]

Hmmm I'm another who finds ploppers limiting I only use them to make quick albums for family when they give me photos.

Most useful to me would be overlays, masks, alphas and word art.

[Noremacc]

I love groupies, overlays, alphas and quick clicks. Don't really use ploppers or stamps. But I love just about anything you make, and am very appreciative of any freebie you decide to give!

[Betts]

I like everything but ploppers. You have some of the best word art I have seen and I simply adore your lights and sparkles gems and did I mention hot air balloons and umbrellas?

ok so yeah everything but ploppers.

[webfrau]

Well I don't think beggars can be choosers so all freebies are welcome here. :)
Having said that I rarely use ploppers either - especially if there are words on them because it makes them too restrictive. Not a huge user of wordart, an occasional user of alphas (I'm just too lazy to fiddle :)).

LOVE overlays, stamps, clipping masks.

[Dani B]

I love QC first and elements and wordart second ----- and no to ploppers.

[ebears]

Yes - overlays, word art,groupies & qick clicks

Definitely NO - ploppers & alphas (never use them)

[AliceAMattison]

I agree with ebears. Yes to overlays, word art, groupies and quick clicks.
I rarely use ploppers and almost never use alphas.

[sueya]

I would like to see Overlays and backpacks

[jemtred]

I so agree with this. Almost my entire collection of kits are supplied by you Nicole and I can't Thanks you enough. I think it's your blog freebies which have kept me scrappping new photos and maintained my interest in this lovely art form. So, once again Thanks:hug:

[LinJ]

Groupies and backpacks - love all your creations, so it really doesn't matter though ;-)
Your designs as wonderful....

[kiwimeg]

Phew not the only anti plopper not sure about qc, but love word art, overlays, frames really anything that can be used to enhance pages that I create with your wonderful designs

[Robin E.]

First, you are generous and I'll take whatever freebies you feel inclined to offer.

But... Since you asked, I love your word art, a love pretty much all overlays, and I love your groupies. I only have 3 or 4 Quick Clicks by you, but I love them all too. Now I only rarely use Ploppers, and I use Alphas even less often. The other things you listed fall somewhere inbetween "love" and "rarely use".

[smsherrill]

I like stamps, quick clicks, overlays. I am not very fond of ploppers though. Hope this helps to.

[scamptx]

My vote...

-Stamps
-Word Art or Titles
-Overlays
-Groupies
-Quick Clicks (templates)
-Clipping Masks

Hope you are doing well, Nicole!! :hug:

[pinky7]

The only thing I don't use at all is ploppers! I love your word art!

[JerriceBenton]

Im not a fan of ploppers either, I have some but have never used them! I love your elements the most, and enjoy everything else you create!

[Kathleen]

Just want to "plop" in defense of ploppers! I don't use them terribly often, but every time I do, I am so happy I did! Even though they are "finished", there is always something I add to them. A title, finding a spot for journaling, maybe an extra few elements. I know sometimes it feels like you are cheating, but you really aren't! It's like using some great shortcut for cooking or baking, just because you didn't spend 6 hours in the kitchen doesn't mean the dinner on the table isn't delicious! So go check out your plopper stash, and use one today!

[MoldyMum]

I am with the Majority too..I don't use Ploppers..I like to try and use my creative side (what bit I have, lol)
I Like the idea of a few more Elements to go with the page kits :) .
I like Overlays, wordart and Stamps..but as Everyone else says..whatever you give as a Freebie is so appreciated :yes:

[flipjump]

Groupies, Backpacks and Overlays would be awesome!! I don't use too many ploppers.. I use more quick clicks. . .

I will use one for you...........................................

[wndyeliza]

Nicole, I seem to be collecting photo masks, WA, frame clusters, and I do like overlays, stamps and backpacks! I, too, don't have much use for QC's and heaven knows that I have a bunch of ploppers from cruising the web. So I guess that half of your list is in and half is out with me.

[EmmaJean]

I am a huge fan of WA, alphas and ESPECIALLY groupies! I love them. I always find them a great start to a page!

[idtwinmom]

Of that list, things I love and would love as freebies:
Alphas
Overlays
QCs
or QBs (such as masks and the like)
Kind of in that order!

The only one I would probably not even take would be the Plopper (unless it's totally stunning!)

[lhyden]

It's easy to say what I don't want -- Alphas and Quick Clicks, just because I don't use them very much.

The way you have developed your series with a kit, second kit, elements and then other items like groupies or ploppers, really is an incentive to make sure we collect them all, as they blend seemlessly with each other and it allows one to make several LO or even a whole book using one of your series. I've actually been going back and picking up "series" so I have all in that design group. Which leads me to the question, is there anything that goes with Denim and Destiny, I just picked up that kit and don't know if there is anything else you did that went with it, as i'd buy that too. Your designs are always spectacular. Love them! Linda

[vickyZ2]

I use backpacks and word art
I don't use ploppers

[jj.basketball]

Hi, Nicole!
I would like to see:
Wordart
Alphas
Backpacks
Mini element sets (I know it wasn't a choice, but someone else mentioned it, so I thought I would too)

I don't use:
Groupies
Quick Clicks
Ploppers
Clipping Masks

[PQ FRAN]

You are such a doll! Since you asked........

I LOVE :love1: (in order of adoration):
overlays (you can never have too many overlays)
clipping masks
stamps
wordart
groupies
alphas

For those of you who may not know, if you see a 007 it means that disappearing ink, like the spies use, is being used. To see the post, left click your mouse and drag it over the comment.

007I hate ploppers.

[MurlieMac]

My vote is for overlays, clipping masks, Word Art, or even extra embellishments

Even though I think that the ploppers are gorgeous I rarely use them.

[Fade2Pink]

I love all things Nicole Young! :) Preferences are Alphas, Overlays, QCs, I don't use ploppers very often.

[cindylicious]

Like all the others I'm thankful for anything you give away.

My favourites would be stamps, clipping masks and backpacks and I like templates as a starting point and ofcourse extra elements are always welcome :)
I have never used a plopper so that would be my least favourite.

[Jennifer Kalafu]

i love any freebie - but im not a huge fan of ploppers in general!
