February Challenge

Be Positive by Tere
March Guest Design Team member Tere used papers she got last year as a prize from an online crop for the February "10" challenge. She used 10 wire hearts (which she has had forever), 10 beads, and the title "Be Positive" also has a total of 10 letters.
Tere made the butterfly by folding 2 flowers in the middle, each flower makes one wing, then she glued on beads to form the body.

Now it's your turn. How will you answer the Challenge? See all the details below in February Challenge. You could be a member of our Guest Design Team too.

Perfect 10 by Kathy

I wanted to use the "10" prompt in a little different way - I kept thinking I wanted the title to be the Perfect 10 - I thought about doing a layout of myself (LOL). I thought what better perfect 10 then the 10 fingers and or toes of a newborn. But, of course I didn't have any great pictures of 10 fingers or 10 toes - so I went with these two pictures of Madeline's perfect fingers and toes!

Now it's your turn. How will you answer the challenge? See all the details below in February Challenge - and get your submissions in soon.

Looking forward to seeing your take on this challenge.

The Wall that Heals by Megan


Design Team member Megan did this layout for the February Challenge.
She said she originally tried to use only 10 photos, but ended up liking it better with 12 photos. So she used the number 10 for the layered accents. For the layers on the stars she used 10 larger gold star sequins, 10 small silver sequins, 10 stars punched from red/blue pattern papers, and 10 black brads.

Now it 's your turn. See all the details in February Challenge below. We'd love to see your take on this challenge.

You are the Sonshine of my Life by Monica
For the February Challenge Guest Team Member Monica created this layout of her son. In response to the "10" prompt she used 5 buttons and 5 stars for a total of 10.

She said she really loves how this layout came together. She had bought a Making Memories baby boy pack and it made scrapping these pictures easy. She did include other products as well. She also can't believe that these pictures are almost a year old. She and her son were enjoying a lazy holiday at home. She snapped so many cute pictures that she had a hard time choosing which ones to scrap, so she did a two page layout to be able to use more pictures.

Now it's your turn to take the challenge - see all the details below in February Challenge. We can't wait to see and post your project.

February Challenge

Because of You by Robin Design Team Member Robin submitted this 2-Page 8x8 Layout for the February "10" Challenge. She used mostly scraps from a Best Occasions paper pack. Robin cut 10 squares from a couple of strips of paper & used 10 purple gems in the squares to add a little more sparkle.

Now it's your turn. Take the "10" Challenge - see all the details below in February "10" Challenge.

Keeping up!

My goal is to keep this blog moving. I hate when I go to a blog and it is the same thing I read a week ago. Soooo, my goal is to have something new everyday. So, if you come everyday - you won't miss anything. But, if you miss a day - you never know what you might have missed. If you scroll down you will be able to see 2 to 3 days worth of posts. You can also click on the "Older posts" to see earlier posts.

Or, you can rely on the labeling system that I have designed for this purpose. All the labels are listed on the sidebar - under "Recent Comments". So, if for instance you missed a Frugal Friday - just click on the label - Frugal Friday and it will bring all of them up. If you missed one of the DT's layouts - you can just click on their name in the labels and it will take you to all of their projects. If you want to see all the layouts - just click layouts!

Also, in order to keep this blog moving daily I need a lot of projects to post - that's where you come in. Anytime you submit a project that is in response to the Monthly Challenge - it will be posted. If you submit a project that is in response to a current - or former Frugal Friday Tip - it will be posted. And, if you have a Frugal Friday Tip - send it and if it is chosen, it will also be posted.

So let's see those projects - and let's keep this blog moving!

With Love Card by Rachel


Our February Guest Design Member Rachel submitted this card for the February 10 Challenge.

The heart on her card is made with 10 "patches" of paper, and then cut out using a Spellbinders die and her Cuttlebug. She inked each square with CTMH Chocolate before adhering it to a base panel, and then inked the edges of the heart after it was cut. The red panel is also cut with a Spellbinders die, and then run through the D'Vine Swirl CB embossing folder. She used her ink dauber and gently rubbed Chocolate over the swirls to give them a little more definition, as well as distressing the edges. The sentiment is embossed with the With Love CB embossing border folder, and then inked the Chocolate. She pretty much inked every single piece, since she loves the look distressing adds to a project.

Now it's your turn - see the details in February 10 Challenge below.

Can't wait to see what your 10 project will be.

Favorite Color by Joni

Joni said "I used 10 paint swatches that I picked up (for free) at the local hardware store & I attached them with 10 brads (I can't believe I matched all the colors so closely....) --- I did use my color wheel to make sure I had the colors in the right shade & in the correct order.

I love this layout...one of my faves that I've done lately."

Wacky Hair by Monica
Last year for Christmas I asked for the Making Memories Slice. I used it once or twice right after getting it but haven't dug it out since. I decided to take it back out. I cut out the orange square that my title is on with the Slice. I also used a Pagemaps sketch for this layout. This is on of my favorite pictures of my son from this summer. His daddy got his hair wet and was spiking it all up!!

Now it's your turn! Let's see those Christmas Gifts being put to work! See all the details in January Christmas Gift Challenge - details below.

Wall art by Rachel
Rachel has contributed this for the January Challenge. She has had these frames hanging on her wall for a long time, and the saying is from a Fortune Cookie fortune that she haf taped to her "everything notebook." She used her new Slice cartridge (Fonts: Essentials) to cut out all the words. She also fussy cut flowers and attached two to the glass on each of the word frames. It's a subtle touch, but it really makes the whole project have more oompf!

Now it's your turn - see the details in January Christmas Gift Challenge below. Can't wait to see your project!

Calendar by Tere

Tere made this calendar using her new Bind It All that she received as a late Christmas present from her husband.

SilverMist by Wendy K.

Tis the Season by Brittney Aldous

U R Fabulous and Ort Farm - by Kimmarie

Kimmarie says " My mom bought me a paper pack from We R Memory Keepers, Tiffany. I love this pack because it came with all the pattern paper, letters and little extras. The white scallaped cardstock is DCWV. I just love these pictures that I took of my 9 year old daughter, Victoria. Her big sister, Sara, curled her hair for fun and I couldn't resist taking a bunch of pics with her hair like this.


Ort Farm

I bought this paper pack with my Michaels gift card that I got for Christmas. DCWV Farmer's Market. This is a simple layout I did with a picture of a momma pig feeding her young when we visited Ort Farm 2 years ago. I used my Cricut to cutout the title and the journaling sticker was given to me in a Christmas swap.

Now it's your turn. Entries must be received by midnight tonight... See details below in January Challenge.
