Sketch #36

I have a card sketch for you this week:


and here's my card:

Feel free to adapt it to a layout... I'd love to see what you create with it!

A mini-album with the August kit

I loved the papers that came in the August kit and knew they would be perfect for a mini-book that I wanted to make for my SIL as a thank you for hosting us while we visited them in Denver.

(I was really happy with the end result-- it was hard to give it away!)

As I usually do with mini-books, I kept a fairly basic design throughout the book, but changed up the elements and papers to give it interest. My favourite part was selecting a symbol for each page from the sheet of October Afternoon patterned paper called Dew Drop Inn. I was so pleased to find one that worked for each photo!






(You can click on the images to see them larger.)

In addition to the kit, I used some other sheets of October Afternoon pp from the Road Map line, some American Crafts thickers and a Making Memories journaling stamp, all from the Shoppe.

Store Closed for a few days...

Wednesday thru Friday till we get our inventory counted and the store all set up with the barcode system.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

(On a blog note, I'll be back next week wednesday with another challenge and the winner from the last one.)

Sketch #35 (and Online Crop Challenge #9)

Here's the sketch for this week... a 12x12, two-photo layout for you:

and my layout (adapted to 8.5x11):

I hope you have time to join in the Online Crop and do a little scrapping this weekend! I'm adding a thread to the Online Crop Forum, so link your layouts there!

Rainy Day Fun!!

Need something to do on this rainy summer day?

Why don't you join in the fun with our August Online Crop? We've got some great challenges posted in the forum already and more to come throughout the day.

And.... if you do, you could win a RAK!!

Here's how it works:

Participate in a challenge (or two, or three) and post your layout in our gallery (so we can leave you some ♥). Link your layout back to the challenge it goes with in the forum before Sunday, August 9th at midnight.

That's it. Your name will be put in a draw to win a RAK. Easy-peasy.

Can't wait to see what you create!
