Member Crop over at YMBD

Just an FYI - there is a member-run crop this weekend at YMBD!

What is a member run crop? well it is a crop where you (the members) post the challenges and pick the winners.

Why would you want to play if you have to do all the work? in a word PRIZES!!!!

lots and lots of YMBD bucks to be exact.

So get your rear over there and play along! If you are not a member already, join up, it's free. The fun starts at 7pm tonight, March 13th (although a little birdie told me that there are some pre-crop challenges floating around already)

I wont be there tonight since I am going to a GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!! but I will be there tomorrow, cropping and digging into my new stash of brand new CHA Winter products!! See you there!

Crowned Contest Week 4

This week we had to do a LO about apart of us either mom, wife, scrapper, etc. I chose wife and we had to include 5 pros and cons. My pros are on the light pink paper & the cons are on the dark pink paper. All pp & most embellies are from Basic Grey Bittersweet collection. I included some closeup shots as well.

Crowned Contest week 3 & Saturday Scraplift

Here is my take on the Satuday Scraplift over at YMBD this weekend.

Crowned Week 3

This week the challenge was to use only 2 pp, one font for title and up to 2 embellies - I chose flowers & buttons, plus as much cardstock as we wanted.
I used this great Urban Lily paper and then I embellished the flowers with buttons. On the yellow cardstock I used a corner rounder to make the scallops and then I used the Fiskars Apron Lace Punch on the blue cardstock.

Here is a detailed shot of the flowers with the buttons added.

Design Team & Upcoming Crop

In honor of Lucy's 2nd Blog-aversary she is having a crop starting on Thursday Feb 19- Monday Feb 23. So go on over to the forum and play some games, complete some challenges and maybe win a prize!!!

LOTW -Layout of the Week

I was also very excited to find out that I had one of my layouts picked for Layout of the Week over at Scrapdango. It was my Messy Dinner layout featuring my little guy eating his spaghetti dinner.

Crowned Contest Week 2

This weeks challenge for the Crowned contest at Scrapdango was to scraplift a layout from the Scrapdango Gallery. I chose one of Kathi's LO which I turned on its side. We also had to include Makeup -ink, paint, glimmer mist, etc.

This photo was taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park in FL. The Silverback Gorilla was walking around and then he literally stopped and posed for this photo. I absolutely LOVE this photo and am so glad that I was able to do the photo justice by creating a great layout to accompany the photo. I inked the journaling folder.



I chose the ledger paper from Teresa Collins, strips -Scenic Route
Flower -MM -Passport line
Felt stars -Maya Road
Photo Corner -Scrapworks
Thickers -AC

Crowned Contest Week 1

Scrapdango is having a Feb Contest called Crowned. The challenge this week was to use 2 different types of bling on a layout.

I chose a photo of my DD celebrating her 9th Bday. I thought the photo would go great with some bling.

I used a sheer background paper from KI then I have bling everywhere even though its kind of hard to see in the photo. I used glittered paper (artsylicious line) on the circular paper under the photo. The title letters (Making Memories) are glittered. Bling circle around the a. The chipboard piece at the bottom, the photo corner and the flower sticker (all from Little yellow bicycle) have glitter. Metal flower (Around the Block)is shiny, LOL!!
