scrapbooking made fresh

Getting Graphic

Okay, so I want to love this sketch by Becky Fleck more, but I am unable to. It's so awesome!  I just love all the little graphic detailed elements to this page.  The lines, the circles, the numbers...it's just too cool for school!  

This week I'd like to you to create something using this sketch as a jumping off point.  It can be a card or a layout, but incorporate some graphic elements to your design. You can submit up to three entries to me to [email protected].  Be sure I get a picture of your work by Monday at 6pm and you can be entered into a $5 drawing for credit to use in the on-line adventure that's coming soon!

Last week Denise Zebrak won the $5 for her "wintery" layout.  So excited that she played in the challenges. I hope this sketch inspires you to do the same.  Congrats Denise!

 

Brrrrr...Baby it's Cold Outside!

Hello!  Man, it's been so cold around here these past several days.  I'm a wimp when it comes to weather anyway.  I've got like an 8 degree window where I'm fine.  Anything more than 78 degrees and I'm too hot to function and anything under 70 degrees and I'm a frozen waste.  Lately it's been MUCH colder than 70 degrees.  Those of you in Minnesota or Canada can roll your eyes all you like.  I don't live there for a reason! I live in sunny California and I'd like someone to turn the heat of the sun back on please.

This little picture is one I captured from a sticker from the Paper Studio. I just love the fun colors and the frosty look.  This week I'd like to see you create a wintery looking page or card using the colors in this sticker sheet.  Pretty simple stuff.  And if you submit your creation to me by 6pm on Monday, you'll be entered into our random $5 drawing to use in the on-line store once it's up and running.  You can submit up to 3 entries to [email protected].  I'm just looking for something cold, wintery and using those cool colors.

I hope this week finds you toasty warm or at least a way to get that way.  Happy scrapping everyone! 

A Joyful 2013 to You!

 

Greetings, friends!  I've missed you!  I took a few weeks off to take on the Holidays and now I'm back.  I trust that this New Year is treating you well.  I know that for me, 2012 had some interesting challenges that were not only met, but conquered and some that pretty much kicked my booty.  But with 2013 comes much hope!

To get us started off on the New Year I thought it would be fun to take a word that you want to apply to your vision of 2013.  Is it "Hope", "Happy", "Inspired" or another word that you would want to have your year ahead encompass?  Once you have your word I want you to create a card or layout that showcases that word.  I've chosen the word "Joyful".  I used the computer to print out my word and then I used sticker letters and my own writing to fill in synonyms.  This year I want to find joy in all the things I do for me and for my family.  With joyfulness comes satisfaction and happiness.  I took my word and framed it so I can see it all year long and remember to find joy all around me.

You can e-mail up to three entries to me to [email protected].  From the entries I will randomly choose a winner.  That winner will earn $5 in credit to use in the new on-line store once it's up and running.  I am keeping a list of winners so that we can tell you how to apply your reward.  You have until Monday at 6pm to get your creations to me.  I'll pick a winner and get you a new challenge next Tuesday.

I hope everyone picks a great word to aspire to in 2013 and that your "hopes" or your "happiness" or your "inspirations" are fulfilled!
