Let's use a recipe!

Happy November friends! It's time for a new challenge, and since this is the time of year we get in the kitchen and bake and cook, I thought it would be fun to apply a recipe to a new challenge as well. Here it is, and it's a biggie!
2 sheets of card stock
3 sheets of pattern Paper
1 ribbon
1 twine
4 stickers
2 different alphas (thickers or stickers)
A pinch of stitching
A dash of rub ons
a smidgen of fabric
Simply apply the recipe to your LO and share it with us, so we can see how your creation turned out. This is running from today through Nov. 25th, so be sure to join in!
Here is the design team work...beautiful as always!

Have fun with this one! I also wanted to remind you that the Hudson Valley kit goes up for pre-order tomorrow morning.

I have spent today bagging this one up and it is just so pretty and cozy. I am waiting on my October Afternoon box, which will complete this one, so we will have a few days to wait on that, but as a gift for your patience I am offering up 2 free gifts with all pre-orders. These 2 goodies! So don't delay, get yours ordered, and just as soon as that box arrives I will begin shipping out!

The Sneak Peek Challenge

We are back with a really fun new challenge for you today! We are calling it the "sneak peek" challenge because the objective is to choose a favorite sneak photo from a past kit and use only the products you see there (plus alphas and cardstock of course).
This challenge runs from today through Oct. 21st and please be sure to leave your work in the comments section and reference the sneak you used just for fun!
Here is what the DT came up with!

Inspiration Board Challenge *prize*!

I know most of us are already on Pinterest, which is a wonderful place to draw inspiration for all areas of your life. It is so great to be able to make your own inspiration boards for various categories, and then go back and see them all looking back at you in one spot. I LOVE IT! If you aren't already on then get signed up, and if you need an invitation then just leave me a comment with your email and I will be happy to send you one!
Anyway, I just love gaining inspiration for scrapping from places other than "scrapping" blogs or magazines. I really like to think outside the box sometimes. I grabbed this already complete inspiration board from the Creature Comforts Blog, which is another really beautiful place on the web to browse around. I love their color/texture combinations, and when I saw this one I was instantly in love. :) So this is your inspiration board for the new challenge! Take a look and draw your own interpretations.

This challenge is running from today, through the 23rd, so be sure to get your work linked up in the comments section so we can find it, and display it, in our slideshow!
Here are the Design Teams interpretations, translated to paper!

Summer Slide

Keep those LO's coming ladies! You have until Friday.

We are Back!

Hello everyone! Well, after a VERY long summer vacation, we are well rested and ready to tackle the challenge blog once again!

Since we had a lot of time on our hands this summer, I thought we should scrap about it. So that is our challenge this time around. Scrap about your summer break, 2011. It can be one specific thing you did, or a "round up" type LO about the whole summer and all the things you did.

This challenge is running from today through Sept. 9th. Please be sure to add a link to your work in the comments section so we can find it and add it to our slideshow.

Here is the DT's fabulous work to help and get you inspired!

They Say It's Your Birthday Challenge!

Is it just me, or does it seem like 90% of the population was born between April and June? I know it's not really true, but it sure seems like it around my house! This got me to thinking that is was about time to do a birthday challenge.
I always love checking out the adorable home made birthday decorations that my crafty friends create. They posses so much more charm than the store bought stuff, and it's a great way to use up your not so favorite papers. So use this opportunity to show us your decor, or scrap a birthday past, or make some birthday cards! Some of my favorite LO's are of the boys birthday parties! There is nothing like a candle blowing shot to make for a fun LO! :)
Link up your work in the comments section so we can share with everyone! Here is the DT work:
