They came out with a great sports collection that is so versatile, it could be used for boys, girls, cheering, sports, board games, playground, etc... Way to go Websters! I was happy to finally work with it and scrap this great picture of my niece in her basketball uniform. I added the jute twine for some subtance at the top and that great leathery looking brad to carry over the circles. Enjoy the holiday weekend!<br />

Well this one was a challenge indeed. I personally would never take paper and put it on an angle but I aspire to be that person. The one that can take paper and put it on an angle without someone telling me to do it. I like to THINK I'm an outside of the box thinker, but sometimes the box is so warm and cozy. Here is Authentique's May Challenge:<br />

There is a scrapbook sketch as well, but I decided to create the card this time. So here it is, using Authentique's Splendid, Bazzill Cardstock, and Hero Arts Stamps:<br />

Owning a scrapbook shop, I see a lot of collections and I have to say, I love SO many of them and by love, I mean I LOVE them! Paper is the best thing since sliced bread. To me anyway. BUT when I saw Summer Fresh from Simple Stories, it quickly became one of my all time favorites. As soon as it found it's way out of the shipping box (which by the way was in seconds) I jumped on that train! I got the one way ticket to cuteness! So, the collection came out of the box in seconds but to my surprise, the box that was holding the mini albums was still on the UPS truck. Nooooooo! In a couple hours it was in my hands and away I went. I had a 3-5 page paper due for a final exam that night and guess what I did instead (don't tell my professor) - The album! (I did get the paper in)<br />

I cut the cardstock at 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" and then just met the two long ends in the middle, Then decorated. These stamps are actually Stamping Up! which is my first purchase from them. Owning a shop, I am exposed to so many great stamps, but I really enjoyed the multiple hearts in this package. Stamped in Adirondacks Espresso Ink, I love the neutral colors of this one.<br />

This Hero Arts bird stamp really makes me smile. Cutting him out makes him come to life on this card paired with My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline paper. The barn board seems so perfect for this nature scene. </div>

Look around and find some treasures hiding! This was a class we held here a few weeks ago and now it is time to share the whole thing. I used mostly Simple Stories Year-O-Graphy and included every month in this Year long album. I love that photos can just be added and I'll have an entire album finished in the end! Hope you enjoy: <br />

I have some really great challenges set up for all of you coming to our 12 hour crop this Saturday, March 31st! <br />
<br />
The first one up is actually a challenge from Elle's Studio this month. I loved the idea so much, I decided to pass it on to all of you to complete. The challenge is to scrap your top 5. Top 5 songs you love, top 5 places you love, top 5 shoes you love, top 5 funny faces your child makes, maybe even top 5 scrapbook collections you love! Get creative with this one! <br />
<br />
Check out the challenge on <a href="http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/">Elle's Studio blog</a><br />
<br />
The second scrapbook page challenge is one found on <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/155233518375494512/">Pinterest</a>:<br />

A captured time such as this when the new big brother and big sister are kissing their little brother who just arrived in the world the month before. Showing their love for him touched my heart and in black and white, I feel like it is that much more sentimental. I used Echo Park This & That Charming and Graceful collections. <br />

Usually I try to change something on the layout but this all went together so well I didn't think I needed to. This is my friend's beautiful daughter who we love to spend time with... We don't have kids of our own so we borrow nieces and nephews and friend's kids to bring fun places :)</div>

I love challenges... they make me think outside the box, get creative, and use up supplies I haven't used yet! When Little Yellow Bicycle came out with the February/March challenge I thought, yes! This one I must do and use Hello Fall! I have loved this collection ever since it arrive at our LSS, Paper Paper. I have seen what our scrappers have done with it at crops and I was ready to play too! </div>

<span style="color: #073763;">I was really happy with how this came out. My pages are usually not so full of stuff and it is always a challenge for me to do that so I love thinking outside of my box :) Those corrugated cardboard shapes are my favorite!</span><br />

Ok, so sometimes we can get quite silly at crops. We laugh so hard we cry, we sing, we eat, we have fun! One of our croppers has a hubby who really likes to spoil us ladies and we never say no and really enjoy it! Especially when it involves pastry. He brought these to our last crop and lets just say our eyes popped out of our heads and they were actually the size of our heads!</div>

I love seeing the inspiration that comes from these challenges we give at our 12 hour crops.... The ladies have so much fun working on the same sketches, yet seeing how different they all come out! The last crop we had was on Super Bowl Sunday - It was a blast and we have such a great group of women that get together to get creative! </div>

We are offering this great class at Paper! Paper March 3rd - We will be showing attendees how to make an album out of file folders! We used Simple Stories Year-O-Graphy to create this fun year long album! Year-O-Graphy is such a great collection for the first time scrapper too - Including stickers for all the months and papers that coordinate. (I threw in a little Echo Park too) Check out the sneak peek: </div>

Well what's not to love? They are so darn cute with their giggles, crooked smiles, and little outfits and they make great subjects for adorable pictures! I took this picture of my nephew back in Oct although on the journaling I put November, remembering it was earlier afterwards, so I'm sure he will be highly confused when he gets older and think that he is actually a week older than previously thought. Blue background paper was a MUST to compliment those big blue eyes! I used Little Yellow Bicycle Winter Twig for the background and American Crafts Amy Tangerine collection for the rest of it along with some Bazzill Just the Edge cardstock pieces. I used Thickers for the title. </div>

Well this wasn't a Sunday or a picnic, but this paper is incredible and I just had to get creative immediately! Webster's Pages really hits it out of the park with the quality and colors of their papers.

I love the inspiration that challenges give me and the ladies coming to the 12 hour crops are loving it too! I send them the sketches ahead of time so they can pack accordingly and they work on the sketches at the crop. I love see the creativity that comes out of everyone and the final results! This last crop took place on a snowy day with croppers in their slippers, sipping on hot cocoa... Here I'll share with you what the ladies came up with....</div>

It snowed here last night so my inspiration were snowflakes. I love bright white against navy blue, so I decided to use navy as my background and white for the embossing. Here I used Bazzil Cardstock and cut snowflakes from the Joys of the Season Cricut Cartridge at 2 1/2" I used a total of 9 snowflakes. Three are glued on top of one another to create a 3-D like dimension. I used double sided tape to adhere them to the card rather than glue so the paper didn't wrinkle. I love how simple this is but really makes a statement because of the pop of the snowflakes!</div>

The challenge of day two - Making flat cards - The first picture is the sample card. I didn't have that specific Hero Arts stamp so I used this doily lace one. I also didn't have stamps that had the outlines and the inside, so I stamped off to make one lighter than the other. </div>
<div style="color: #073763;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #073763;">
I used Adirondack Dye Ink in Espresso and Lettuce</div>
<span style="color: #073763;">Both stamps are from Hero Arts stamps</span><br />

I was feeling extra creative today so I decided to enter another card challenge for <a href="http://skippingstonesdesign.com/skipping-stones-designs-sketch-challenge-109/">Skipping Stones Design</a>. I love challenges ... they inspire me and introduce me to designs that I may not have typically chosen for myself. This is the sketch:</div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: #073763;">Cards are fantastic for using up scraps and especially a card like this! So if you scrapbook like I do and have lots of scraps left over, this is a great use for them!</span> </span><br />
