Member Highlight: Carol Haney

Although she (unfortunately) doesn't share very many of her layouts with us online, Carol Haney is great at sharing other projects she's made.

Here are just a few that she's shared in the gallery recently...

Some creative wall decor:




Some very creative walls in her daughter's room:



And some "before and after" MCC finds:





You can check out Carol's gallery here for more inspiration!

Thanks so much for sharing with us, Carol!

Member Highlights

Today I wanted to highlight a layout I fell in love with in the gallery...

Isn't it great! Go on over and leave Tara some love.

P.S. You'll also find the newest releases from My Mind's Eye (Lime Twist) and October Afternoon (5 & Dime) in the shop. Enjoy!

Member Highlights

Just wanted to highlight some beautiful layouts that have caught my eye in the MSS gallery lately...

I'm loving grey right now and I noticed that all of the layouts I picked rocked the grey...

This one from Susi is just so pretty and I love those butterflies!



I love this layout from Tara. Did you notice the transparency background, that great photo (how fabulous is it that she has a picture of herself getting engaged?!) and the lovely little details.



Carla has a great monochromatic layout here. I love the pleated ribbon "banner" along the top! Very creative!



And Brookie rocked the homemade embellishments in her beautiful layout!



Thanks to all who post in the gallery-- your work is truly inspirational!

Member Spotlight

There are always a number of projects in the gallery that catch the DT's eye at any given point. So we've created a new blog segment called 'Member Spotlight' to show off some of those great creations!

To be honest, I think I was supposed to highlight just one project, but I had such a hard time narrowing it down, I chose to show a few. :)
I love how Carla chose to scrap the thank you cards from her wedding. What a great way to keep that memory! And the fall colours she chose match her wedding theme (from what I can see) perfectly!
This layout from Tara just makes me so happy. I love this Crate line, and how she used that string of lights across the top.

Oh, Carol. She is the queen of MCC and thrift store finds. It amazes me what she creates out of her amazing finds. For instance, this project only cost $10! If you look through her gallery you'll see it's full of projects like this.

Keep posting to the gallery and who knows? You may find your creations highlighted here someday!

I ♥ online crops!

In my opinion, MSS has the best online crops!

Great challenges, super friends to hang out with and, best of all, wonderful layouts flooding the gallery.

I thought I'd pick out a few of my favourites from this past weekend to share with you.

If you haven't checked out the gallery yet, make sure you do!!

Lots of inspiration...

to be found in the MSS gallery lately! Here are a few of my favourites:

This one by Susi. I love how she used the lace cardstock and the Making Memories notebook pp for her title.




This one by Flo. The design is wonderful and the journaling just makes me smile.




This one by Tanya. I love her design with the shaped patterned paper and her mix of elements.




This one by Tanya D.. Such a beautiful tribute page!




This one by Jen. I love the colour combo and her use of felt embellishments!




This one by Valerie. I love the simplicity of this one, the green and red on the black background and how she make her title!

And if you made it this far, you probably noticed a trend in several of my choices... I have a feeling I'll be creating a layout with my scraps in some sort of grid very soon! ;)

Monday inspiration

Happy Monday.

So, here in lovely Manitoba it's -42 with wind chill. If that doesn't just scream "stay home and scrap" I don't know what does!!!

(And, because it's this cold I'm not venturing to the shoppe to price goodies today. Hopefully it'll be a little warmer tomorrow.)

Here's some highlights from this past week to get your juices flowing...
