Flamingo Scraps

It's the end of September so it's time for the the first Guest Design Team member Roundup at Flamingo Scraps!
Make sure you check out this post and be prepared to be inspired.

Crate Contest

This is a contest that I gave a go over at ScrapAttackScrapbooking.
It's such a fun place to hang out with lots of challenges and inspiration. Come on over and join us!

Grab a box, a "crate" or even a drawer full of paper because we're kicking September off with a contest! We’d love to see what you are creating with using Crate Paper products so we hope you can join us for a little contest. Listed below are the details:

• Your layout or project must contain at least 75% Crate Paper products on it.
• Your entry must be new and made specifically for this contest. Layouts that have been previously made or used for other contests or challenges will be ineligible for this contest.
• 1 entry is allowed per person and this is open to US and International designers.
• Deadline for entry is midnight PST on September 30th, 2010 with a winner being announced within a week.
• For those that want an extra challenge – and an extra entry into the drawing – see if you can use the letters in CRATE when creating your layout. Each letter should represent the name of 1 item on your page. You can pick the items as long as they spell CRATE. (i.e. C=cardstock, R=ric rack, A=alphabet, etc.) The options are endless, just be creative.

Here is my entry. I pulled out some older Crate.

Trees of Color

Trees of Color is the name of the September Ribbon Kit over at Savvy n Sassy. Here is a picture of it. Isn't it pretty?



I can now share my projects using this ribbon with you. All of my layouts are 8x8 pages created for the album that I made for my Mother for her 80th birthday.

This page is about my Mother being a baker and I listed some of the Mennonite goodies that she always made for us and still does actually.

Twisted Sketch #066

Hi everyone. I apologize for getting this up late this week but my blog was all wonky and I didn't know how to fix it but thanks to Heather I'm back in business!

So sketch #066 is up right here. It's another great one so make sure you go check it out. The twist this week is "fabric".

I chose to use some aida cloth from my very neglected cross-stitch supplies to make some flowers for my page.
