september's member spotlight......

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

TGIF!!!!

I'm super excited today to share with you something new that we've started this month!

It's time to announce, share and reveal the Members Spotlight for September!

Our member spotlight for September is.......

 

Rebecca VanDyke

I was one of those people who said there was no way I would ever spend time with all those little snippets of paper and stickers and scrapbook. Why would I want to do that when the pictures looked just as good stuck on one of those vinyl adhesive albums, and besides that I was too busy quilting. Well, someone talked me into going to a CM demo and I quietly laid my quilting needle down and picked up my scissors and hundreds and hundreds of layouts later I'm still happily scrapping away! And of course along with scrapbooking as come the love of taking pictures. Sigh....life IS good!

 

Rebecca chose the Too Cool For School Kit and Add-On this month.

Here's what she did so far (I believe that she has more in store for us later this month).....

The journaling reads:

I may not be the #1 girl in your life anymore, but just remember Buddy, I WAS the first that you asked to marry you, never mind that you were only three at the time…..  (The #1 and the journaling are done on transparency)

 

 

 

 

 

What an awesome job!!!!! Thanks Rebecca for sharing your work with us this month.....I can't wait to see what else you do with the kit!!!

New Challenge

Hello Everyone!!! It's Thursday again. Can't believe how fast these weeks are flying by!!! Anyway, it means that it is time for a new challenge. Are you ready? It's an easy one...

I always struggle with making cards. I actually much prefer to make a scrapbook page. I avoid making cards as much as I possibly can. But, my Walk in the Garden kit was screaming to have atleast one card made out of it. So... that is my challenge. Make a card. Make a few. Make a lot! Bundle them together and give as a gift! Whatever you would like to do! It is a great way to use up those bits and pieces left from your kits! ;)

Here is the card I made...I pulled a doily and some organza ribbon from my stash to go with these pretty Echo Park papers. I also used a sketch from somewhere. I can't remember where though. Sassy Lil Sketches maybe? I really like how this turned out and it helped to have a little inspiration and direction from a sketch for me as well.

Now.. your turn!!! I can't wait to see your cards!!! Links to the past challenges are up along the side. You still have plenty of time to play along with those to join in the drawing for this month's prize!!

Happy Scrapping and cardmaking!!!

wednesday's inspiration...

I hope that everyone's week is going good so far.....I'm home today with a sick little girl with strep!

Poor baby girl!!!

Today I'd like to share some projects that I did with the A Walk in the Garden Kit and Add-On.....

First up are 3 cards that I made......I'm working on a card collection for a gift....

Aren't they cute? Only 17 more cards to go until I can call that gift done!
