When did you "see the light?" lol I first found Miss Mint in about August 2007. I had been so frustrated with all the freebies I'd downloaded and kept on googling "free digital scrapbook supplies" and FINALLY found a link here! I couldn't believe the GORGEOUS free kits she gave away! Well, it was love at first sight! haha... and then she got me hooked and I ended up spending a small fortune here. ;) In fact, PC was the first store I ever purchased any digital goodies!

So, how did you find all this fabulousity?! :)

I honestly can't remember how I found PC. It must have been my 2Peas days before DST was created, right? LOL! I'm sure it was the fab freebies too. I was hooked and now she can't get rid of me. :)

I was led here by a challenge at a parenting forum. Everyweek we would play with a new freebie and one day MissMint was the freebie. This had to have been in the second half of 2006.

I found this fabulous site when I saw a blinkie on Megan's (mturnidge) blog! I loved the designs & this was also the first store I purchased digital goodies! YAH..I love it here!

I was led here by the digital scrapbook teacher ultimate resource book. It included a freebie and a coupon.........and I have been hooked on her stuff ever since!

I found Miss Mint about 2 years ago. She was one of the first digi sites I found (along with Shabby Princess) and my BFF, Melanie, and I about fainted over the goodies here! We LOVE Miss Mint - always have and always will! :)

I found Miss Mint sometime in early 2007. Of course I was led here by the fabulous freebies. But when I saw the names of the kits, like Foxy Lady and Party Pants (I thought at first it was Party in your Pants lol), I knew I loved Miss Mint!!

So, I had heard about digital scrapbooking before but thought it was stupid(go figure)because I had only seen the precious moments and teddy bear (gag me!)layouts and sites. Then in Sept 2007 I had a neighbor(lovemyhalli) who was into it and she showed me her layouts and Peppermint Creative. I was definately hooked and have never looked back(on paper scrapping that is!)

Miss Mint's was my first ever gallery & store I frequented and doing the DNTS contest really got me into scrapping :) I found this place through Jen Strange's blog.

Always will be my fave designer ever :D

I'm pretty sure it was the freebies that first led my to my minty home... :)

When I first started digiscrapping, I had no idea how to even start. A friend told me to start with a freebie kit and go from there. She led me to Peppermint Creative and I was so excited at what I found!

I don't remember how I found it, but probably through a friend who told me about the freebie kit. Loved her stuff and still do. Can't wait to shop ... to busy talking right now. He, helol

I saw the light very early.... hehehe
Was a clear night of May... the year 2006
I was a digi newbie... just a couple of months scrapping... no Pay pal.... then... it happened...
I won a GC to the Minty store in a chat at RAKSCRAPS

Was love at first sight!!!

I'm guessing I found Peppermint Creative through other Digi Communities. I really can't remember how exactly I found out about Digital Scrapbooking in general! I first started on ScrapArtist and then I just found more and more. I kinda wish I would've been active as soon as I made my account but I'm making up for that now! :)

i first visited like 2 years ago, bought some stuff and never played with it. Then I was visiting Megan's blog and she's got such dang cute stuff so I had to come check this place out! So here I am with a cart full of stuff that my hubby is just gonna be thrilled about! lol! Now I just have to actually use it right?!

I heard about Miss Mint at the 2Peas board. Mindy Terasawa started a thread about her and how she was amazed Miss Mint was the one who made her icon (the Miss Mint we see). lol Then I first bought her Freestyle Alphas after Natalie Braxton totally enabled us (I was her on team back then) on them - Truth be told, I have never played with her stuff save for the freebies before I got on her team. But when she did her call, it was just my gut feel that her work is just what would fit my style :redface:

And it was ;)

Years ago, I am guessing from 2veg as I was a paper scrapper, as a total digi newb I entered Miss Mints scrapper contest.

Yeh! Naive too rofl - but hey, I learnt a lot in that contest, spent a fortune and loved all of it.

Been away for a while but I am back now with a new user name.

I was 'serene' back then which was totally my aim but never my name. So now it is Shabby Shaz and you can call me Sharyn
or Shaz if you like.

I found it in a Google search. I've downloaded almost all the free kits from the past year, and I've bought a few things here and there. But not to worry, the CC is all ready and waiting for some new purchases as soon as the store is open for business!

I love the Minty style here, the blog, and now that there's a forum - WOW! :cheer:

When I started digi scrapping in June 2007 I was a real freebie hunter, lol. I was typing in digital scrapbooking in Google over and over again and on one of my search I found Peppermint Creative.
And I'm just stuck here, how's that possible? I'm always very excited about the monthly freebie kits, but I can't help it: when there's something new in the store I just have to buy it!

I also found PC from the awesome freebies. I downloaded all of them and that started my addiction to Digital Scrapbooking.

I found her pretty fast when I started in January 07, but I don't remember how. Definitely because of the freebie!

I think I found PC around Feb. 07, because I had heard from somewhere about digiscrapping and went looking for places that had more to do with it. I admit I was hooked immediately because of the fabulous freebies! I don't think I really starting doing much until early summer and then finally started doing more when MissMint did her next top scrapper contest. I don't know if I'd be called a "regular" but I do enjoy most of my digi time here. ^_^

So is Miss Mint gonna tell us the story of how eppermint Creative came about?

ingridfasquelle
09-22-2008, 12:13 PM
OH i remember MissMint gave an interview in which she told us the story of how Peppermint Creative came about... I was sure it was in the Daily Scrapper but i can't find in which issue it was... Too bad ! Anyone to give us the link, pretty please ?!

I first started Digi Scrapping in January of this year :)
I came across Miss Mint by doing a google search for freebies. Like most digi scrappers do when they first start out.
Miss Mint is one of the best digi sites ever. I love the quality and not to mention the fact that she doesn't kill our pocket books either :D

I sure do love it here and now that there's a forum ... oh what fun I can't wait to get to know all you minty friends out there :D

I was around when she premiered. I can't remember how, exactly, or where she announced, but I remember poking around when the site first opened and we were all SO INTRIGUED by the pseudonym and mascot. :)

My order history is not valid, but that is okay LOL, so I can't rely on that...but really, I think it was back in either late 2005 or early 2006..I really can't remember, sowwy, but I heard from a friend of a friend who had a friend that starting chatting about digital scrapping and all the freebies she found while we were trying to make freebies of our own (OMG what a JOKE!)...so I posted my own freebie at DST and then I came across PC...it was like hitting a brick wall and I deleted my freebie post, end of story, what was I thinking?! :duh::duh: LOL

I tried making something myself once and soon decided I'd best let other people do that lol2
