Happy Friday

I have enjoyed working with the October kit. I really enjoyed working with the Spring colors and thought they were perfect for an Easter layout.




For each layout I make I try to use something from my stash. For this one it was my scalloped scissors that I have had since I first started scrapbooking over 7 years ago. Each Friday we have a use your stash challenge. After you complete the challenge post it in our gallery, we would love to see what you have created.

Inspire Me! Thursday

Ever since joining The Shaker Box, I have admired Twistedsoda's work. She is a true artist in every form. Her writing is amazing, her artwork is amazing, and her scrapbooking is like nothing i've ever seen! So, one of her many fabulous layouts is our inspiration for this week!

Do-it Digi

The Do-it Digi Wednesday Challenge is up in the forum at The Shaker Box. This week I challenge you to use cardboard in one of your layouts (traditional scrappers are welcome to play along). Don't forget to post your layout (or card) in gallery at The Shaker Box so that we can leave you some love! Need some digital cardboard? Here is a freebie that I featured on my freebie blog, Art You Special. Be sure to scroll down on the Hodge Podge blog - there are two cardboard collections.

Don't forget about the online store at The Shaker Box. In addition to the monthly traditional scrapbooking kit there are digital collections as well. The Memory Project crop that goes hand in hand with the charity kit in the store is this coming Saturday so if you would like to help share the love of scrapbooking with families whose children are being treated at Nationwide Children's Hospital, be sure to purchase your kit today (it includes $7.00 in coupons)!

October Kit preview

Okay ladies - their are so many goodies in the October kit. My Favorite was the paper - this prima is to die for - seriously. And there is soooo much of it. And the bling.......well, i will just make you wait - but i will show you a sneaky peaky of a card that i made last night. I'm frantically working to get all my projects done before Monday.

So the cardstock and the Patterned paper and the black flowers (who would have thought black flowers....but they look so good with the paper in the kit) are all from the kit.

Also we have lots of fun challenges going on over at the Shaker Box . Hurry and check out the Menu Challenge that Alli has posted this month. She listed a whole bunch of different kind of Candy and you have to choose five of those - kinda like Trick or Treating. You can have as many bags as you like - and in the next day or two - Alli will post which items go with which candy and thats what you will use to create your Layout! Sound fun?? Go check it out soon before the list is posted!
