Giveaway Monday 2/18/13

Do you have a favorite scrapbook challenge? This was asked on our message board recently and the overwhelming answer was sketches!! If you agree, then hopefully you are checking out the new sketch every Friday on the sketch blog and playing along. Sketches are my favorite challenge as well so I love creating new sketches and creating pages for them week after week. During our Love is in the Air crop, which completed yesterday, we had two sketch challenges members could participate in! I shared one with you last Monday and here is the other sketch that was challenged...

Leave me a comment here by midnight February 24th, letting me know your favorite scrapbook challenge, and you could win some fun 6x6 paper pads! The random winner from last week is...

Two more CROP days!

Hey, scrappy friends!  Missy here to remind you about the Love is in the Air Crop here on our boards...you still have today and tomorrow to play along with us!  The Crop ends Sunday at midnight.  I want to share one of my challenges & pages with you on this fine Saturday!

This page was created for the "Hot Date" Challenge, which involves using a photo of you and a significant other either on a date, getting ready to go on a date, an anniversary photo...or it can be of another couple.  Just some kind of "date" photo.  This is my husband and me last year about to leave for a nice auction/dinner fundraiser for our daughters' school.

I used mostly the Secret Crush papers from Pink Paislee (all except the blue Bo Bunny background).  I LOVE the pinks, greys & blacks in this line...so perfect for lovey-type pages!

If you would like to get your hands on this collection, it's available HERE in the My Scraps store, along with a TON of new CHA goodies!  Tammi has gotten in SO many new things!  Check it out!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Missy :)

He's 18 Months! New MME....

As soon as the new My Mind's Eye collections hit the store, I loaded up my cart!  This page is a mix of Boy Crazy and Collectable collections.

I used a large photo and just added a few strips of paper here and there.

To add some dimension, I fussy cut out the grey stars from the patterned paper and pop-dotted them off the page in some areas.

 A few buttons and epoxy dot stickers, and that's it!

There are SOOO many wonderful papers and embellies in the new MME release!  You must go check them out!

Oh and don't forget you have a few more days to get your crop challenges in on the Message Board for the Love Is In the Air Valentine's CROP!

Is Love in the Air?

Happy Valentines day!!!!

If you haven't been over to the forum then you are missing out on lot's of fun challenges with our Love Is In the Air Crop.  There is still plenty of time to come and play along.  I thought I would share with you the first challenge I was able to complete which was one I really needed to complete since it was to make a Valentines card for someone and I was slacking and hadn't made one for my sweet hubby yet :)  So I got right on that.

This second card I made for a wedding shower for a lady I work with.  Both of these cards I used Crate Papers Fourteen collection, but as you see I was able to get a very masculine card as well as a very feminine card out of it.

There's Still Time!

Hello and happy Wednesday!
Lisa here with you today.
Over on the forum we have a "Love Is In The Air" Crop going on. There's still time to play along with the many challenges to win a great prize! You have until Sunday, February 17th at midnight to post your creations  in the gallery.
I posted 3 challenges along with 3 examples and want to share them here with you today.
My first challenge was to make a Valentine for someone special. I used the February One Of A Kind kit for my Valentine:

My second challenge is called a box of chocolates. You have to use brown ink or paint and add a heart to your layout:

My third challenge is called Cupid- use an arrow on your layout. I used the Pink Paislee Portfolio Collection for my layout:

 

If you have time, I hope you will join us!

Love Is In the Air Challenges

Hello and good morning...

Right now the My Scraps Love Is In the Air Crop is in full swing and lots of wonderful, LOVELY challenges to choose from to keep your scrappy mojo flowing.

I am sharing two of the layout examples that I have for the challenges I came up with. Both of these pages are using the newest MME Collectable Collection.

The first one challenge is to use those Valentine Conversation Hearts as your title on your layout.

I used BE MINE for my title and placed it on a heart:

I used some of the cute decorative stickers and enamel dots through out my layout:

My second challenge is to focus on someone or something that you love, and then journal at least 3 sentences. To me sometimes I don't focus on the journaling enough, so it's a nice push to have me add my thoughts on my page. Here's my example page:

I focused on some fussy cutting of the hexagons and arrows from the patterned paper:

I also cut apart one of the story journaling cards to create my title:

So if you haven't already, check out Tammi's store for the MME's Collectable collection before it's gone... and don't forget to check out the other crop challenges.

Have a wonderful day.
