Banner Day

A big congratulations to Marie Lawrence as our $5 winner this week.  She created an adorable layout using a photo from this year and added all the extras.  Yay!

Since banners seem to be all the rage I thought it would be fun to try and incorporate them in a layout.  The twist is that you need to have chipboard and ribbon/string/twine in your project as well.  Here, I highlighted my son Reece and his recent Pinewood Derby experience.  Poor little guy.  I think only gravity helped his little car get across the finish line, but no matter to him.  He had fun cheering for the other cars and was more than a bit thrilled when he realized his wasn't the only car to have issues with greatness.  I used the new Echo Park papers from "It's a Boys Life" for my page and I thought those little cars couldn't have been more perfect.  We have the whole line in the store if you have a Derby page to do too.

Please send your entry to me to jamie.greent@gmail.com by Monday at 6pm to be eligible for the $5 drawing.  Remember, your layout must include banners, chipboard and ribbon/string/twine to be in the running.  You may submit up to two entries of any size.

Wishing you a week filled with happy memories and the pictures to scrap them all.

Scrappy Hour LIVE

We're having another fun Scrappy Hour here at GT's.  As I was walking around stealing ideas, er checking out what everyone was working on, I found this little gem by Tracye Coleman.  She makes these fun altered books by taking used hardbound books and converting them to scrapbooks or journals.  She separates some of the pages out, glues pages together and then the fun really begins.  By adding some paint and some scrap pieces of paper she creates these fun books for family and friends.  I like how in this one she left the words from the chapter visible.  What a fun project!  So glad she shared it with us.

Hope you have a chance to join us soon for a Scrappy Hour.  We always have a great time.  All we need is you!
