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.
