Top Ten in Twenty-Ten

Hey, all! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and that your Christmas was fabulous! This will probably be my last post of 2010, so I figured that I would share my favorite layouts from the past year. I always love when other people do this because I find it so interesting to see what my favorite scrappers consider to be their best work. So, here are my top ten in no particular order...enjoy!

Punky Scraps Challenge #2

Hey, all!

Happy Friday!

The newest challenge is posted at Punky Scraps. The challenge: scrap a layout about what makes you special. Here is mine:

I am special because I give away everything I am thinking with just one look. I am an open book. That's not always a good thing, but it's me!

Head over to Punky Scraps and check out the other awesome layouts...and link your own layout to the Punky Scraps sidebar for your chance to win an awesome mystery box.

Punky Scraps - Challenge 1

Good morning, all!

The first challenge is posted at Punky Scraps and it's a fun one!! It's a "recipe" challenge, so we had to use at least 3/5 items prescribed. The items we could pick from were buttons, white cardstock, cardboard, ribbon and paint. And because I love a good challenge, I used them all:I love finding ways to use up my HUGE ribbon stash :)

Go check out the other girls' fabulous layouts here and don't forget to link up your entry to win a box full of fabulous goodies at the end of the month!

SOTB - Cupcake Liners

Hey, everyone! I am a little late in posting this one...

Scrap Outside the Box has their December challenge up right now. The challenge: use cupcake liners on your layout. Here is what I came up with:

The flowered circles are actually cupcake liners...I've had a couple people ask me how the gluten-free cucpakes were...they were actually pretty good. I don't have to eat gluten-free, as no one in my family has food allergies, but I do like to experiment with different things and see how things taste...Check out Elana's Pantry for some fun gluten-free recipes.

This month you definitely want to play along with SOTB. The winner of this month's challenge gets a gift card to iTunes!

Thanks for stopping by...enjoy your day!

*No patterned paper?!?!*

Hey, all!

A new challenge is posted up at Just C & S today and I got to come up with the challenge prompt. My challenge to you: create a layout without using patterned paper. It's harder than you might think! I had a difficult time with it...

Here is what I came up with:
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your week.

CS #132

Hello, everyone!

I finally got to scrap for fun! It's been awhile since I've been able to be crafty. I just recently procured the Crate Paper "Snow Day" collection and have been dying to use it. Gosh, I love Crate Paper. I also used sketch #132 from Creative Scrappers for my layout, although, I gotta say that I have many projects that I have made that could apply to this sketch...I love gridded layouts. Anywho, here is my layout:

It seems like it is becoming a tradition for me to make a layout about trimming the tree, as I did an almost identical layout last year. We even took pictures with some of the same ornaments!

As always, thanks for stopping by! Hope your work week goes well...

December ScrapStreet

Hello, everyone! Happy December!! Can you believe that it is December already? I can't...the year is just flying by...

The December issue of ScrapStreet Magazine is posted today. I am lucky enough to have one layout published in it this month...it's one that I made last year right around this time: Find the full article here. I love going through ScrapStreet...I find it so inspirational...I always find new layouts I want to scraplift and new techniques I want to try.

Another fun place to check out today: Practical Scrappers. They have some fun December Daily projects highlighted and I was lucky enough to be asked if they could feature one of my pages.

Have a lovely (and warm...if possible!) week!
