Prize for current challenge

Hey, all!

So, I bet you've been wondering what the prize is going to be for my current challenge...Well...I was inspired by this Scrapbook.com article to make a kit for the prize this month.

Here it is:

Hopefully you are now encouraged to play along! :-) Have a happy, krafty weekend!

Feelin' green & challenge-y

Hello, all!!! So, I have nothing against the color pink, but I am ready to be done with February and all its pinks and reds...I'm ready for March. One of my favorite things about March is all the *GREEN* that sprouts up. I just love the color green - it's such a happy color. It's fresh. And St. Patty's Day is so much fun - if you actually remember to take pictures when you go out to celebrate, then you have some great scrapping material. In the spirit of the month of March, I made this layout:

Lots and lots of green - and now on to the details of my next challenge. Here are the rules:

-Pick a predominant color to use in your layout. You can have a different predominant color as your background (for example, I used brown)- but I want most of your embellies to be from the same color family.

-Link your layout to this post by Wednesday, 17 March, 6 pm PST.

-Tell your friends about this challenge!!

The prize will be posted this weekend. Until next time, happy kraftin'!

My take on my challenge

Hey, all! I said I'd be back to show you my take on my current challenge, so here it is:

I don't usually do layouts about myself, but for some reason, I decided this was the perfect opportunity. I had so much fun making this...I love splattering the paint around! I also saw this as the perfect opportunity to use some of my ribbon stash...I have way too much ribbon lying around!

And, just a reminder that this is the picture that inspired me:

You have until 13 February to post your link to your project to the original post. Can't wait to see what you all come up with!!

New Challenge

Hey, all. For my newest challenge I have decided to do something just a little bit different than usual.

You're proabably wondering why I posted this photo. Well, I found this awesome picture here and I thought it was incredibly inspirational. So...I want to see how it inspires you.

*The rules:

1. Create a layout/project inspired by this awesome photograph.

2. Link your layout/project to this post by 6 pm PST on 13 February.

3. This will be a random drawing, so you'll get extra chances to win if you are a blog follower and if you link your layout/project back to my blog.

*The goods:

These in-high-demand loops punches from Martha Stewart crafts:

Here is a layout I created using the edge punch. If you click here you can see a layout that uses both the edge punch and the corner punch.

Challenge time!

Hey, all!! I am about to go traveling for the next two weeks so I will not be blogging during that time. I did, however, want to leave you with a challenge!! Here's what you need to do:

1. Create a layout using one of my past sketches:

2. Post your link here by January 10th! You may only enter one layout, but you can share as many as you like...just let me know which one is for the challenge.

It's as simple as that!!

The winner will receive a $25 gift card to Scrapbook.com. This will be a random drawing, so I will put your name in twice if you link your layout back to my blog. If you're a follower your name will go in three times!

Have a very safe and happy holiday season!

Challenge Time!!

Hey, all! It's time for my first challenge and I'm pretty excited about it. First, here's what's up for grabs:

-K & Company Christmas/Winter paper pack (12x12)
-Jolee's snowflake stickers
-Me & My Big Ideas Christmas chipboard
-Plus a small goodie bag from me filled with a random assortment of embellies

If you enter this challenge, and you don't celebrate Christmas, just let me know. That way, if you win, I will come up with a different prize for you that you can actually use.

Here's what you have to do to win:

-Design a layout about Winter or Christmas

-Post the link to your layout in the comments section of this post by 6 pm PST on 11 December (that's a Friday...and 3 weeks away, so you have plenty of time)

-That's it!! Super easy challenge, but hopefully pretty fun...I always get into the Christmas spirit just a few weeks before Thanksgiving. By the time this challenge is due, I figure most of you will be pretty psyched for Christmas too!

Here are some layouts that I have done that fit the challenge criteria:

So, get to scrappin' and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!!
