Interesting Scrapbook Sketch/Blog Candy

I ran across this scrapbook sketch today on SCS. This is truely a 12x12 sketch, but I really thought the idea was great for any holiday or event that you might need to scrap. With a couple of tweeks in color and elements, you could have a whole new page. Plus, there is room on this page to add journalling if you wish too.

Now, it's time to show me what you have made. For everyone that send me a picture to their creation or a link to their picture I will put their name in a drawing for a free stamp set!

If you need a little more inspiration before getting started please click here. (It might take a few moments for pages to be added.)

Challenge Results for SBVC61

I made this 6x6 page for the SBVC61 challenge that I posted earlier in the week. This page also helps to fullfill my own personal challenge that I posted on January 27 (even though I have other projects I am working on for that challenge).

I am still waiting for my shippment on SNAIL (hopefully today they will arrive) so this page was done completely with pop-up tape, mini glue dots, and eyelets. I had to become very creative to get everything to stick!

Today's Challenge: SBVC61

Good morning scrapper friends!

My challenge for you today is make your own frame around your picture(s). Some ideas are stamping, ribbons, chipboard, buttons, stickers, stitching and rub-ons. 

To view other pages that use this challenge please click here.

As soon as I finish my page I will post it to this site. If you wish to share your page please send me a link to your site/picture.

Inky Hugs,

Ana

Today's Challenge: Straight From Me!

Today's challenge comes straight from me. I decided to host my own challenge today mainly because I didn't like the other challenges that I seen on other sites. (hee-hee)

So here's the challenge:

1. You must make a Valentines Day project. (This can be a card, page, pouch.... it's up to you!)

2. You must use a stamp, and at least one punch.

3. You must use a brayer (if you do not have a brayer you can use a sponge)

4. You must have a least 4 layers.

5. You must use a brown color, a red color and a white color.

All the rest is up to you. You can use any other colors in your project as long as it contains brown, red and white.

I am going to use this challenge to help make Chris's Friendship cards for Valentines day. I will post pictures after they are done!

Have a great day crafting!

WT202 Challenge: Pizzazz it Up!

Todays challenge comes straight from SCS. (I told you that this was one of my favorite sites!) Here are the rules:

If you're like me you love patterned paper. The more the better and those new glittered, flocked, or die-cut papers....well, I have a serious addiction. The problem is...they really lighten my wallet! I thought it would be fun to design a challenge around adding your own pizzazz to existing patterned paper. The challenge: Ways to Alter Patterned Paper. Make it special. You may want to glitter, emboss, heat emboss, flock, die-cut...whatever you can think of, some patterned paper that you have on hand to make it extra special. Just like that fancy specialty paper that carries the big $2-$3 price tag. Have fun! And in this economy...saving money always a plus! Just in case there is any question...you MUST use patterned paper to start and then customize it.

If you are interested in checking out what others have made please click here.

And, if you have taken on this challenge, then please send me a copy of, or a link to, your picture. I would love to see what you have done.

I am off to create now!

Happy Thursday,

Ana

Todays Challenge: SBVC57

Here is todays challenge information. I decided to choose a scrapbook page instead of a card this week. This challenge is a little different and that's why I am posting exactly what SCS said.

SBVC57...Party Time...12.31.08


Good morning scrappers and Happy New Years! While growing up, we didn't celebrate New Years, we had birthday parties. My paternal Grandfather's birthday was December 31st and maternal Grandmother's birthday was January 1st.


One last "Using our stash" challenge - We are going to revisit the recipe challenge I did 2 years ago for Halloween, except you are going to choose a cake instead of a full menu. After you've chosen your dessert, I'll PM you with your recipe. You must use the items listed (they aren't manufacture related, nor are they hard, so don't be scared away) You can add any "spices" (aka other items) to your layout. Feel free to do this challenge more than once as each recipe will be very different.


Dessert menu:

Angel Food Cake (ingredients: white cardstock, ribbon, a circle, handwritten journaling, flowers, and bling)

Carrot Cake (ingredients: orange, vanilla, sanding, stars, harware and buttons)

Cheesecake (ingredients: white and brown, felt, stampin, cut work, buttons and bling)

Chocolate Cake (ingredients: brown cardstock, swirls/flourishes, doodling, brads, chipboard and a quote)

Fruit Cake (ingredients: black background, stamping, hardware, buttons, chipboard, and the use of a punch)

Rainbow Chip Cake (ingredients: printed paper with rainbow colors, flowers, stitching, rub-ons, and ribbon)

Sponge Cake (ingredients: yellow, inking, flowers, stamping, ribbon, paper piercing)

Strawberry Shortcake (recipe below)

*********

So, I picked Strawberry Shortcake (mainly because I love strawberries and I thought I would like the colors). My ingredients are:

Pink

Red

Hardware

Inking

Bling

Ribbon

I am now off to create. And, as always, please feel free to join in. If you do, please send me a link to your project.

Here is a link to see other cards made for this challenge.

New Years Greetings,

Ana

Tuesdays Challenge: CC199 Saffron Burgunday Hunter

Todays SCS challenge is to use the colors So Saffron, Bravo Burgandy, and Handsome Hunter in a design for a card (or scrapbook page). So, I am off to be inspired... Truthfully, I don't think these are colors I would use for myself but that's why these are called challenges.

If you need to be inspired also, you can visit the CC199 gallery on SCS by visiting this site: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?mcats=all&si=cc199&what=allfields&name=&when=&whenterm=&condition=and

As always, if you are taking on this challenge too then please send me your finished pictures or a link to your project and I will add your link to the posting.

Have a great (and safe) New Year,
Ana
