Day 6

Just a simple little card today based on a sketch by one of the girls over at Dixie Pieces. I did a summer theme to coordinate with a post that was to go up about the new design team term at My Scrapbooking Supplies, but unforeseen circumstances will not allow the DT to participate through the summer. Hopefully we'll be back in the fall!

My Scrapbooking Supplies inspiration challenge

My challenge for the month at MSS was to create a layout based on this magazine picture...



This was my creation, about babies' random smiles being directed at angels that they can see but we can't.



We would love to see what you are inspired to make based on that pic! Submit your own, and see the other DT creations here.

My Scrapbooking Supplies recipe challenge

My challenge for the month over at My Scrapbooking Supplies was to create a recipe layout using the following: Cardstock ~ one sheet, Pattern paper~ one sheet, Journal die cuts ~ at least two, Flowers ~ at least two.



I used a sheet of Mary Engelbreit paper from Creative Imaginations that I have saved for several years now. The journal tags are from the Sweet Life collection, and the other die cuts are October Afternoon.

Come play along with our challenge! This month's winner will be our guest designer for April!

My Scrapbooking Supplies Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my part of the My Scrapbooking Supplies Blog Hop!!! I am so excited about our new blog and the members of this design team. I hope you have been enjoying and playing along with the challenges.

I am a big fan of using what you have, so I thought I would show you a quick way to create 4 cards in under 20 minutes. I started with this pile of supplies, geared towards small children, since I just used up my last baby card and wanted to restock:



4 pre-scored cards, sized 4" by 5", one sheet of patterned paper, paper from my scrap pile, and miscellaneous embellishments from my stash.

I cut the full sheet into 5 pieces: four 4x5 pieces and one 2" strip leftover as scrap. Then, I took the blue scrap and cut two 3x4 pieces for the boy cards. For the girl cards, I just assembled the scraps randomly. Once I placed the embellishments and added some bling to the girl cards (because all girls need something sparkly!), I was done... in under 20 minutes, using some of my saved scraps, and without spending a dime of additional money at the store.



As part of the blog hop, I am giving away this RAK...



To be entered in the random drawing, leave a comment on this post, and I will randomly draw a winner by Friday, March 5th!

After you have visited all the blogs and posted a comment, please be sure to go back to My Scrapbooking Supplies and post that you are finished. Thanks for playing!
