Have you all been oohing and ahhhhing  over the new releases for CHA this time around? What are your favorites? My Mind's Eye is still a fav of mine. I think they were the first line I ever scrapped with. I am also really loving Simple Stories. I can't wait for these to start arriving. Until then, I have been playing with my stash and trying to get involved in the daily challenges on the board. Here are a recent few...

recent layouts to share...

just jumping on here to share a few recent layouts I have done. I have had NO TIME this week to play with paper but hoping that changes tonight! I better get as much play time in as I can before this storm makes its way here. Sounds like it could be a bad one for those of us on the East Coast. Stay safe and make it a great weekend!!!

My Scraps & More's World Card Making Blog Hop!

Welcome to My Scraps & More's World Card Making Day Blog Hop! All of the design team members have created beautiful cards to inspire you. They each worked with a different 6x6 paper pad to show how easy they make card creating. They also were inspired by the September cardmaps sketches which you can view here! As you hop through the blogs, make sure that you leave some love on each members site. After you have seen all of their wonderful work, go back to the My Scraps blog here for your chance to win these paper pads of your own...

For your chance to win simply become a follower of the My Scraps & More blog AND leave a comment on each blog as you hop along.(We would love for you to become a follower of our Facebook page as well but it is not required) The hop will run through October 10th with a winner to be announced shortly thereafter.

Truthfully I was not too thrilled with the idea of making cards. I just don't do it often enough to like what I create BUT these cards are the exception!! I used the 8x8 paper pack from the Cakewalk collection by October Afternoon. It was created to be a birthday themed line, so I had to make a Birthday card, but I also created an everyday type of card with the papers as well!!

I am offering a little giveaway on my blog as well! Become a follower of my blog and let me know you did in the comments of this post for your chance to win the Calkwalk 8x8 paper pack by October Afternoon! I will announce the winner on October 11th after the hop! (international residents are asked to be willing to pay any shipping charges over $5 if they are the chosen winner)

I hope you have liked what I shared with you!! Now it is time for you to hop over to Tracy's blog. If you ever get lost along the way, here is the order of the hop...
