Here's a little reminder about the store closing sale at SBO. Everything must go and the savings are big. Check out all the great products available at the Scrapbooker Online Store!
at least in terms of cards! I have been having a lot of fun making Christmas cards for various challenges. This one is for the Simple Saturday bling challenge at SBO. Go check it out! Details for this card are here.
Oh goodie! The January-June DT at Scrapbooker Online was treated to the new Basic Grey Euphoria collection for projects in July. Here are my first two layouts. The first features a photo I took at Conner Prairie in April. Details are here.
Here's the project I made last week. This little darling is a neighbor and friend, and I am honored to be able to scrap her sweet photo. Details are here.
It's Wicked Awesome Thursday at Scrapbooker Online, so here are some new projects. Our new sponsor for the month is Scrapworks. We are using their Magpie line which is really cool. The layout posted above is of Ian on his last day of school with his first grade teachers. I also used a cool acrylic shape from our other sponsor, Clear Scraps. Details are here.
This week the Design Team at SBO used scalloped square albums from Clear Scraps with more Paper Trunk goodies. See all the albums here. Check out the details for my album here.
This is going to be one jam-packed post! Let's start with the SBO Design Team project for this week. Our sponsors for May are Paper Trunk, Glue Arts and Clear Scraps. Can I get a *whohoo*?? I ran the clear arrow through an embossing folder and added StazOn ink to the back. That was really fun, and I love how it looks. Details for this layout are here.
This fun little number comes courtesy of Di Hickman's May layout sketch. I had to turn the sketch sideways to fit the photos I wanted to use. I also got a chance to play with some new 7 Gypsies paper. And who doesn't love a punny title? Details are here.
It's our last week of SBO DT projects using Karen Foster Designs. This week was all about baseball. I took Ian out in the backyard to hit a few balls, and guess who joined in? Rusty just about had a fit trying to get the ball, so we decided to make him part of the photo shoot. So glad we did! Details for this layout are here.
Nothing like starting out your morning with an earthquake! Good times, good times.
The Design Team at Scrapbooker Online is hosting color combination challenges for the month of April. The first colors up are cream, chocolate brown, robin's egg blue and green. Here's what I made using those colors. The rub on frame was a serious PAIN to apply, but the effect makes the effort totally worthwhile. I added the rub on words and arrow at the end. The photos are what make this layout for me. Matty is such a ham (and he totally knows it!) Details for this layout are here. Come join us and try your hand at scrapping with these yummy colors!
It's WAT at Scrapbooker Online, so here's my DT project for the week using supplies from our sponsor One Heart One Mind. I was absolutely floored with surprise when Scott sent me my favorite roses on Valentine's Day (while he was working in Puerto Rico), and I wanted to scrap the note that came with them to let him know how much his thoughtfulness means to me. Details for this layout can be found here.
Well, after one month of Design Team work at Scrapbooker Online using cardstock only from WorldWin paper company, I needed to squeak out one more design with no patterned paper. This card is for the new Caardvarks Micro Challenge to create a card using cardstock only. Make sure to link up your card to the 'Varks site by midnight EST tonight!
And we're off!! The 3rd Anniversary Crop fun has started over at Scrapbooker Online. Join us in the Crop Forum for all the challenges, games and fun. There's also a chat tonight at 10 PM EST for anyone who wants to talk scrap with the SBO sistas. All projects for the crop are due by 8 PM EST on Sunday March 2nd. Hope to see you there!
It's official! We are celebrating 3 happy years of online scrapping, chatting and shopping at Scrapbooker Online. Join us during the weekend of February 29-March 2 for lots of fun challenges, games and prizes. Special thanks to Rachel for the awesome flyer!
This is my final Valentine mailbox for 2008, I swear! I made a few mini-sized ones for Scrapbook Corner to use as display samples, and I also made larger ones for each of Ian's two homeroom teachers. I am excited to see them in use at the Valentine party on Friday afternoon. Click here for project supplies and details.
I also made this layout for the PQR challenge at Scrapbooker Online. I had to use a punch, ribbon and a quote. Check out all the fun! You can see the details for this layout here.
It's Wicked Awesome Thursday at Scrapbooker Online, so that means Design Team uploads! Our sponsor for the entire 2008 calendar year is WorldWin Papers, and this month we are doing a special cardstock-only month featuring their products. My first project is a shopping list made from one of their kraft cards, Crafty Board chipboard, two kinds of cardstock and my Zutter Bind-It-All. I love how practical this is!
Yesterday Di Hickman also released her latest card sketch, so this was my interpretation. I love the distressed look of these My Mind's Eye papers, so I continued the look by roughing up the edges. I punched a scalloped circle from Worldwin ruche paper which has a cool crepe paper texture. A little grungeboard coated in ink and Stickles was the perfect topper. I am tickled that so many of my DT projects this year turned out to be Valentines. I have to get them in the mail!
and all over my scrap desk? Cards!! I have gotten into a groove lately with black and white cards, sometimes with a little pop of color. Hobby Lobby's Creative Concepts magazine picked up the last one I posted a few days ago for their spring '08 magazine. This one features cardstock and mirror paper from WorldWin who is sponsoring the DT at Scrapbooker Online this year. Be sure to stop by SBO during the month of February when we will be showcasing several other exciting products from WorldWin.
