First Challenge at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!!

Good Morning! I am so excited to post and share my first layout for the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog. This challenge was a tough one for me but that's okay. It is called a challenge for a reason isn't it??!!


Challenge #1: What's Your Style?

Share a project that showcases your signature style. Dig into your hoard and pull out items that make you
shout with crafty joy! Whip up something that has your creative name all over it. Do you, because no one is youer than you!

I have asked what "my style" of scrapbooking is over the years and truthfully, I never know how to answer that! So to try and show you my style, I thought I would scrap what is my "norm" and share that with you. 
     When I first started scrapbooking years ago, I remember My Mind's Eye being the first manufacturer I fell in love with. Anyone remember those little frame up people? Yep...I think that I owned every single one of them. Though My Mind's Eye's style has evolved over the years, mine has as well, and they are still one of my top favs! I used their Cut & Paste collection for this layout. Along with my paper style, a  couple of other things that I noticed about my scrapping is that I love scallops, clean & simple lines and white space. I don't like a lot of clutter on my pages. Some people can do it beautifully but not me!! And, the best thing to get my mojo flowing is a good sketch! It just helps my creative process so much!!! 





What is YOUR style? Check out the the complete challenge and rules over on the Craft Hoarders blog here. If you play along with our challenge and link it with us over on the Craft Hoarders blog you could win this amazing prize pack...




If a sketch helps your creative process as well, here is the one I created for this page! If you use it to create a layout, please link me up here! I would love to see what you did with it!!



As a way of celebrating the beginning of the Craft Hoarders Challenge blog, I am giving away some My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste papers and embellishments! Simply become a follower of my blog and leave a comment here on this thread! I will announce a winner Feb 17th, when the next Craft Hoarders challenge is issued!! (because of shipping costs, I can only ship to US addresses. thanks for the understanding)

Happy Monday!!!

I agree with Gloria, your clean and fresh style is just FAB! It is refreshing and exciting! I love grunge and layers and I love clean and simple! This challenge has it all. Your message is simple and your page says look at me and it is so easy for eyes to focus. Your white space is porpotional to the layout. You did a great job and I love the message "Family"!
