Blogging Challenge 3/28 – Out Like a Lamb

Well I needed to finish what I started right? I am in charge of the challenge and today my GIS buddies are supposed to blog about the end of their month. Did it go out like a lamb? Or did it continue roaring through to the final days?

My month actually is ending more on a lamb note. I am just as busy in fact I have taken on a few more challenges personally, helping with Get It Scrapped’s Birthday weekend events, writing a few articles for the website and getting back to writing a new class about title fonts. And besides that or tied into all of that is a new obsession with Copic markers. So I am busy, busy, BUT all of these are things that bring me great pleasure! There were no trips to the ER no one car in the shop weekends, and I even got to scrap with ladies last night at Archiver’s. (I am knocking on wood frantically by the way) So things are good, rolling at a quick pace but good. Oh and did I mention the SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes it returned to Des Moines and it just warms me too my soul!

So here are my latest creations displaying my Copic playing!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Well here is my third layout using Scrap This Kit’s beautiful March kit. I have once again linked the photo if you want to see more. Today at Get It Scrapped I am challenging my scrappy buddys to post a layout that has them going “green” however they may interpret that. If they post today they are entered for a chance to win a prize. Want to know what it is? Huh? Huh? Do ya?


Oh O.K. I give! If you post today and then link your blog post or layout to the forums here at GIS, you are entered in a drawing for a $20.00 gift card to Scrap This Kit. Nice!

So go green and tell me about it. I will be watching!

Happy St. Patrick’s!

St. Patricks Day is coming!

Well at GIS I am in charge of the challenge for March 17th so really it was a no brainer! We must scrap green!

Here are the rules;
1) Scrap a layout that either goes recycle green by reusing a product or packaging, or pick up some awesome green colored scrappy stuff and use it.
2) Post your layout ON March 17th no earlier, no later! Then let me know back at GIS that you got it up.

Prize!
Yep I am getting one of you a great prize for this one! No telling though, you just have to play to find out what it is, but I give good prizes, just ask anyone!

Now since I am not playing I am posting two of my layouts early. I have one more that just needs to be hooked together that I will post on the 17th. All three of these layouts come from my awesome friend’s kit club Scrap This Kit. Hit one of the layouts to see her site!

Now I will admit I added to this one here. The fairy is my work, the patterned paper and the “smile” are from the kit. Oh the buttons too!


On this layout I only added the twine and the small heart tag. The rest is all from this month’s kit at Scrap This Kit


I will have one more layout from this beautiful kit on the 17th and still more to play with! Besides that, Tami is doing a major giveaway right now so hurry! go! check it out now!

Happy St. Patrick’s a little early all!

Back with some pics

Here are some of the fun additions that Tania talks you through making! Paper piecing projects like the little monster on the above layout and beautiful layered flowers like the one on the layout below. I loved Tania’s class. It is one that I have printed and saved so I can go back to it for wonderful ideas.

I will come back and share some of the pages that I have made with her fun techniques. And no worries if you are not crafty, Tania breaks it all down step by step so everyone can follow along.
