Tool Caddy - Tuesday To-Do

I bought this cutlery holder to alter for my scrap space.



First I covered up the design with some patterned paper, scraps from a current favourite by Pink Paislee

Then added a piece of KI Memories Lace Cardstock


Followed by the scallopped edge from the Making Memories sheet

Then an arrow tag from Every Jot & Tittle and the word using American Crafts Thickers


The entire project took me less than 30 minutes, including taking the photos. All supplies except the tag came from the store at A Walk Down Memory Lane

National Scrapbooking Day and more

We're having a mega crop for NSD over at The Scrapbook Siite.

Points will be awarded for your participation in the challenges and games, and the grand winner will take away a rolling crop tote worth $79.99!! The amount of points you collect will also determine your discount in the store at A Walk Down Memory Lane!! So go sign up on the message board and come spend your NSD with us.

In other fun news my good friends Paula is giving away a free pass to Debbie Hodge's Scrap Your Events Class which starts this week. This is a quick one, so go tell Paula hi, for a chance at this drawing.

Yesterday the new How Much Is Too Much challenge went up, and Cindy challenged us to use chipboard, felt and ribbon as the main "ingredients" of a page. Here is my take of it.


I also posted a new page to Sister Scrap. Vernell and I each scrapped the two photos shown below. So take a gander over there to see what we came up with!

Mid Week Crop

We're holding a mid week crop at The Scrapbook Site today!!!! We'll be posting challenges and games all day long, as well holding a few online classes. All free! Here's a peek of the class I will post later


And at 7:00 p.m CST the fabulous Marci Lambert will be chatting with us about Hambly. I hear there might even be a giveaway of some sort!

So check it out, register on the forum and come hang out with us!

Weekend Scrappage

Somehow I managed to sneak in three layouts this weekend. We had a relatively busy day Saturday, helping friends paint their first baby's room; and then having them over for dinner. But Sunday while Lucas relaxed after his winning performance in the Table Tennis Championships, I got scrap happy.


This week's How Much is Too Much



The latest Dare and a scraplift challenge



I finally got my hands on some of the new Pink Paislee stuff! It's all available at A Walk Down Memory Lane. To see more details and read the journaling check here

Inspire

I used up a bunch of scraps to make this little inspiration notebook.


See more details on the DT blog for The Scrapbook Site.

And this month I have the pleasure of being the Guest on Variations Créatives! Here's a sneak peek of my project, you can see all my projects on the DT Blog there.

The theme for the month is to use chalks with Versamark, a technique I haven't used in a while. But once I got going I was happy to discover how effective and enjoyable it was! Thanks to Sandra, Isa and the team for having me!

And finally here are a couple of peeks of some goodies I'll be adding to the etsy store later today. Everything is 20% off until Friday!
