Recipe Challenge #3

These challenges can be used on cards or layouts.

I will give a list of three items that must be used on a card or layout. When you complete a card or layout with these specific items, then you can post that you completed the challenge in the comment section. I would love to see all the cards and layouts you create using this recipe.

Now, I know the question is going to be asked, so I am going to answer it now. Are you limited to only the items listed? The answer is No. You can use as many items on your layout as you wish. But the minimum on it must be what is listed in the recipe.

Create a card or layout using the following items:

  • Stamps
  • Torn Paper
  • Ribbon
As usual, if you would like to share your take on this challenge, link it up in the comment section.

Have a great Day Everyone!

Journaling Challenge #2

Happy Tuesday!

When trying to think about what kind of journaling challenge I was going to add today, I decided on one that is probably really common for a lot of you. But maybe there are some out there who have not done this yet or don't do it very often.

One of my current favorite things is Journaling with Words Strips. Here is an example of a layout I recently made using the word strips.

I'd love to see your layouts. Just link them up in the comment section.

Have a great day everyone! A fun Recipe Challenge will be coming up Tomorrow!

12 X 12 Layout Sketch #12

It is amazing how fast the weekend seems to fly by. I actually did some scrapping this weekend. I made a 20 page 6 x 6 album for my friends birthday. And then I gave it to her already. She of course loved it. It was so nice to finish it. I actually started a project and finished it in the same day. That does not happen very often.

Well, today's sketch is a little different. It is a way to add extra photos with not so much space. I got (9) 4 x 6 photos on one page. As I look at the completed page now (I did this page almost 2 years ago), I definately need more embellishments or some pattern paper. It needs something. But I am not the type to go back and fix it.

Enjoy the sketch! If you decide to use the sketch, I'd love to hear about it and if you would like to share your completed layout, just link it up in the comment section.

Also, if anyone would like to submit a layout for the blog, just email me or you can also drop me a note in the comment section. I would be happy to send you a sketch in advance.

I will be back tomorrow with a Challenge. Have a great day!

Ad Challenge #2

TGIF!

I have a busy weekend ahead of me. My husband returns from Sweden tonight. Then there are birthday parties, School Activities and company dinners happening all weekend. But, I am hoping, inbetween all the hecticness, I will be able to sit down and scrap.

Today our challenge is an Ad Challenge. I am going to share an ad I found on-line. Take the ad and use it for inspiration and create a layout. When you are done, let us know you completed it by posting a comment below. I would love to see what you created if you feel like sharing!

Have fun with it! And Have a Great Weekend! I'll be back Monday with a 12 x 12 Layout Sketch.

Card Sketch #11

Happy Thursday!

The weekend is almost here and I am so ready for it to arrive. My husband is working in Sweden this week and I am getting hardly any sleep. For some reason, the two small kids are deciding they don't want to sleep during the night while he has been gone. I am so in need of a nap. But, since Hannah gets out of school at 10:45 today and Shantal and Spencer get out at 11:35, I won't be seeing a nap anytime soon.

I was thinking around 2am, that if I was going to be up, I might as well do something productive like scrap. But of course, with a one year old (that is who was up at that time), scrapping would not be productive because I would be pulling him out of everything.

Here is this weeks card sketch. If you want to share, I'd love to see what you made. Just link your work up in the comment section.

Have a Great Thursday!
