Share a SMILE with us….
We are so excited to be able to share a SMILE with you all this holiday season. We couldn’t think of a better way of expressing our gratitude to each and every one of you for your loyalty and support throughout the years. Not to mention, this year being somewhat of a roller coaster ride of political events, natural disasters, war, etc. around the world, we thought we all need that little reminder that there is Always Something to SMILE about. So, from our Oscraps family to you, enjoy a SMILE today….. and every day for the next 25 days. We’ve got a little “how to” for you at the end of this post.
We also have the traditional forum event happening with daily games and challenges – don’t worry, you’ve got til the end of the month to complete them all. Our standard monthly challenge rewards are in place, plus a few extra designer sponsored challenges. And, rumor has it, we’ve got a mischievous little elf named Buddy, running around randomly passing out coupons to lucky participants. The more you participate, the more you can win! If you’re very lucky, we won’t catch him until he’s passed them all out. He was last spotted running around in the special Advent Event section of the Oscraps forum.
As if all this wasn’t enough, the “shop by Category” Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years and Winter categories will be ON SALE for 25% off for the entire month of December!

Buddy, being the sometimes mischievous, but always helpful little elf he is, has put together a little “How To” on how the daily downloads will work:
- Visit the Oscraps Blog every day
- Find Santa peaking out from the side of every page of the blog, so it doesn’t matter where you are, Santa is there waiting for you.
- Go ahead and click on ol’ Saint Nick to open the advent calendar.
- Click the appropriate day.
- Click on Santa and Rudolph to download.

Sorry, but for those of us that missed out on this; is there anyway to collect the advent calendar? Please 🙂 I know I would be ever so appreciative.
Thankyou to everyone who contributed. This was a little bit of fun in amongst the busy-ness!
Vicki – The ‘peeking” Santa with freebie each day was a brilliant marketing idea! I absolutely loved it!!
Thank you for all these great kits! Such a cute presentation, too!
You’re welcome, Mary!
thank you for the tip, Sheri!!!
I couldn’t get the new download for today until I hit “refresh” on my browser. Hope that helps someone. 🙂 Thank you Oscraps!
Thank you for this darling kit—everyone appreciates a SMILE! Thank you designers!!
Thank you, Nancy! That makes my heart happy :).
Hi Lois,
I’m sorry you are having trouble. The downloads should be automatic. You might check your downloads folder. If they are not there, contact me via the contact us link in the shop and I’ll get you the download links.
You all have really put your hearts into this and I so appreciate it! I can’t wait to get up each morning to see what’s new for the day!!! THANK YOU!!!
I have not been able to download anythings for Day 1 or Day 2. I click on the Santa & Rudolph image and nothing happens. I am on a Mac
Hi Ginger,
It appears there was a bit of a hiccup with the program, but I’ve fixed it now to where you can open past days.
thank you very much! ♥
