Color Combo Challenge

Thanks to everyone who got misty with us last challenge! It's fun to see how differently we all use the same product. :)
Today we are going to do a color combo challenge which actually works perfectly with your "Very Virginia" products! Just use this color board as your inspiration for your work. I just love how late winter this looks.

Isn't this color palette just beautiful!? Amy selected this for us from the website Creature Comforts, there is so much to look at there you could just get lost!
This challenge is running from today through Jan 28th. Please be sure to link up your work in the comments section as usual, so I can make a slide show for us. I am looking forward to seeing what you all create!
Here is the design team work...SWOON!

Just a heads up, this Wednesday and Thursday we will be doing a blog hop featuring all the sneaks from the February kit, "Truly Scrumptious". We will be starting at Kim Moreno's blog and there will be directions on what to do and where to go next. It should be a really fun way to reveal the products and colors to all of you. Also, three lucky people will be winning $10 off their kit order, so be sure to join us for the hop! The kit goes up for sale Friday morning, bright and early. Here is the tiniest of sneaks for you...


Hope you all have a great week!

Misty Slide

The "She Get's Misty" Challenge

Happy New Year Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones. We had a really nice time, hanging out at home, visiting family and friends, playing games, and spending a day in the snow. I really enjoyed it, but I have to admit, I am glad to be getting back to the "normal" routine around here.

Today we have a great challenge for you all. It's called the "She Get's Misty" challenge for a very good reason, you have to get misty, or spritzy, or shimmerzy on your work. :) Just spray a little, or a lot, depending on your level of confidence. I know over on the MB we have been talking a bit about this and some people seem to really love it, and some people are scared of it. I have to admit, I am not the most experienced mister...but when i do it, I end up really liking the results.

So get misty and load up your work here in the comments section so we can share with the group via a slide show. The deadline for getting your work in for this one is January 14th.

Here are the DT examples...just an FYI...a lot of my kits come with mists, so if you need one head over to the shop, all the past kits (except Jan.) are on sale today only!

Outdoor Decor Slide

The "Outdoor Decor" Challenge

Happy Holidays all! We are back with a super fun challenge. This one is all about how you decorate outside of your homes for the holidays!

Scrap outside of the house... whether it be your outside decorations, how your town celebrates/decorates, or a favorite place you have visited for the holidays. I have even seen many cars around town decorated, either with a wreath, or decked out with horns and a red nose. We often scrap about our kids, traditions, ornaments, inside decorations... so let's go outside for this one!

This runs from today through Dec. 31st, and I will be choosing a winner for a $20 GC to the shop!! So be sure to get your LO's linked up in the comments section so I can find it!

Here are the beautiful DT examples!

First off I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who played along in the challenge! I hope you all had fun and love the creations you made, they are all super special and lovely! This was so hard to pick a winner, since they are all so touching, that I had my son Nick pick a winner out of a bowl...and our lucky winner is ASHLY!!! Ashly, you will be getting the 2 Bedford Falls kits shipped out to you on Monday...please send me your mailing address and they will be on the way! Congratulations!



Tomorrow the January kit goes up for order! Very Virginia is named after our very own Virginia Tillery for a few reasons. First off, these are some of her favorite styles, colors, textures and products. Secondly, she will be offering a companion class to this kit in mid January. So you can sign up and learn to scrap like the awesome Miss V! We have been doing sneaks over at the MB all week, but here is a collage of some of my favorites!



And TOMORROW ONLY we are having a REALLY BIG DEAL over at the store! 5 lucky orders will have a random gift in their box! There are paper packs from MME, Cosmo, OA, 1 paid admission to Virginia's companion class...PLUS a copy of Adobe Illustrator. Who will have a gift in their box?? It very well could be you! So get your order in early!

Also!!! If you order 2 kits, or spend over $100 you will also be receiving 2 packs of American Crafts Thickers for free(that is like $10 girls)...so as I say, this could be a VERY full box for some of you! :D :D :D :D And don't forget...EVERYTHING (except the kits) is on sale!

Set your alarms for tomorrow ladies! :)
