This is THE Challenge!
Ok, so as I announced a few weeks ago I have decided to do a BIG challenge for the 1st anniversary of my foray into kit making. Well, here it is! This challenge is running from the 6th-22nd. And I think you all saw the prize up for grabs on this! A brand new, full version of Photoshop CS3. I have both platforms, so if you have a Mac don't think you aren't covered! I got your back!
The rules are pretty simple. Create a LO, card or project using only NoelMignon kit contents (or I should say 90% from the kit, since I'm really bad about using stash stuff myself). Post your work up for us all to see and let us know which kit, or combo of kits, you are using. You can post it here or over at the brand new MB! You can enter as many times as you like before the deadline which is midnight on Oct. 22nd. I will choose the top 5 and then we can all vote for a winner over the next 2 days. The voting will end at midnight on Oct. 24th, and the winner will be announced on the 25th. In case of a tie I will choose, and I'm saying right now it's not going to be "rigged". I will not vote for my best friend, or sister in law, or any such junk. I will just choose my favorite IF there is a tie. Otherwise majority rules and a winner is "voted" for. The votes will be conducted over on the MB.
If you haven't bought a kit yet then skedaddle over to the store and pick up a few! If you buy a kit this week I will up standard shipping to priority for free so you will have your things in time to get your work in!
OK peeps...this is going to be a blast. I picked some fun dance music to get you in the happy scrappy mood. If you are anything like me I like to "chair dance". I bounce around and shrug my shoulders up and down and do the whole neck roll deal to get my mojo flowing! HA! If you have some faves I'm missing just let me know and I'll try and find it and add it up for you!

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle Challenge!
Morning guys! First up I just wanted to let you know that the new kits are up and they are flying! So if you are wanting one I would run to the store and grab them because they will be gone quick!
Ok, on to the next challenge! Tessa Ann Watte came up with this fantastic idea for a fun and thought provoking challenge. How much stuff do we just throw away? I know it's not fun to think about, but we toss out a lot that can be re-purposed. So this challenge is all about taking something you would normally throw away and incorporating it into your project! This is running from today through Oct. 3rd. And here are our examples and what we reused!
Have fun with this one!!
Noel - used a 14x14 piece of packing cardboard and some hot wheels packaging
Jana-reused Daisy D's packaging as an accent piece
Tessa Ann - used the backing from a package of Making Memories red felt alphas (as seen in title) for a layer in her design
Michelle - I used the packaging from the kit (corrugated cardboard) and some clear packaging from some embellishments for the stars. I just used a star punch on the packaging and wah-lah clear stars!
Greta- i used the packaging that the Elsie rub on's came on to make a mini to keep in my purse to jot down notes...
Michele - used the negative space of chipboard hearts as little windows for pictures, embellies, and journaling. So clever!
Virginia - made a mini frame out of Heidi Swapp embellishment packaging & the Homeroom kit. She added a magnet on the back to use as a frame to hang on her fridge! How cute!

The "School Days" challenge!
OK guys, so as hard as it may be to believe school is back in session. Wow, my summer flew by! Anyway, I was thinking my school photo stash is pretty huge and in need of scrapping. So let's do a school days challenge this time around! Get to scrapping those first day photos, graduation pics, or the dreaded 9th grade head shot when your skin was "oh so clear" and your hairstyle was "rad"!
This is running from today through the 19th. I will be picking a winner who will be getting a $10 GC to the shop....so enter as many as you want! Be sure to include your link in the comments section or just link directly to the slide to make it easier.
Oh....and for your enjoyment.... :) Virginia found this way fun website called Yearbook Yourself, where you can upload a photo of your current self and you can transport back in time and have the hairstyle and clothing of several decades, all the way back to the 1950's. So if you are low on photos, or just want a way cool LO of yourself with a kickin' wig, go "Yearbook Yourself". Michele Kovack was super brave and did the "70's babe" LO in the slide show, which is "far out"!
Enjoy our glorious head shot gallery of hairstyles gone by! BWWWAAAHHAHAHAHAAA!!
