winner, winner chicken dinner.....and a new challenge

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

First I wanted to say a huge thank you to all who submitted entries to our September challenges! Everyone did such a great job. I had a total of 34 entries (there's only one entry per challenge allowed, so for those of you who submitted more than one entry per challenge, I could only count one). So the lucky winner, chosen by random.org is........

#27 who by my calculations is
Kelly Shoaf
Congratulations Kelly!!!
Please contact me at contest@scraptasticclub.com about your prize!

So, who's ready for the first October challenge?
Me, me, me!!!!!!
So for this weeks challenge, I'd like you to do some sort of pattern on your paper.....here's my example.......

as you can see I chose to do a chevron pattern. If you'd like to do a chevron pattern, you can find the tutorial that I used here. You do not have to do a chevron pattern! Just any kind of pattern that you feel like doing!!!
I used the Witching Hour Kit for my layout.....and for those of you who are wondering about my title..I stole it from the movie Role Models. I wanted a funny title to go with my son's Gene Simmons picture!

So, you know the rules, you do not have to be a monthly subscriber to take part in the challenges. You do not have to purchase or use any of our kits! There is only one entry allowed per person per challenge. You will have until November 2nd at midnight to submit all entries to our October challenges. There will be a new challenge posted every Thursday! Also, please remember to link the actual post that has your challenge entry, not just link your blog. It makes it easier for us to find your entry, also please make sure to post that it's for our Challenge!

And before I go....I bet you all want to know what you're playing for this month?
This months prize will be not one but two collection kits from Echo Park.....

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!!!

tuesday's inspiration....

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

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

I feel so bad for her, this is the 2nd time within a month that she's had 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.....

(there are still a few left for purchase in the store)

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!

Next up is a layout of my baby girl being, well, her.....

I hope that you all have a wonderful day!
