Challenge #2 at Craft Hoarders Anonymous

Good Morning scrap friends! The second challenge is up today on the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog! 


Challenge #2: Let's See That Hoard!

This is a Color Challenge with a twist. Pick the thing or things that you seem to hoard the most, and using the color scheme shown below, create a project that showcases your hoarded item or items. Do you hoard buttons, beads, ribbon, papers, stickers? Show your hoard, but only the items that match the color scheme! (Please note, you do not have to use all the colors in the photo, nor match the colors exactly. Just use the photo and the colors to inspire you to dig through your hoard.)

Fun right??!! I, like most paper crafters, hoard paper. I have a ton of it so for this challenge I am using some of that, but also something else I seem to hoard...embellishments. When a new collection comes out that I LOVE, I seem to buy every matching piece to go with it! Case in point...I used the Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party for my page. I used 4 different patterned papers on here as well as 5 embellishments, all from different packs from this line. I confess - I am a Craft Hoarder!!

And look at the fun prize that is up grabs for this challenge by our sponsor Shari Czerwinski, Independent Consultant for Close to My Heart

I hope that you find the time to play along with this fun challenge!!
The winner of my MME giveaway from the first Craft Hoarders challenge is....

Playing with some new Carta Bella!

Have you seen this new birthday themed collection from Carta Bella ? The collection is called "It's a Celebration" and there is a lot to celebrate here!! I love the beautiful, bright papers and the weight of Carta Bella can't be beat! I used a few of the papers to create this page using a sketch from Sketch & Scrap. After adding a few enamel dots and wash tape I called it done!

I think I am going to have to put in a reorder on this line. Love it!!

Thanks for poppin' in!!

"Love is in the Air" crop at My Scraps & More

Happy Valentine's Day!! Today is the start of our 2nd annual Valentine's crop on the forums at My Scraps & More!! There is 18 awesome challenges to inspire you as well as some fun game to participate in. I am hosting one of the games...

"Let Me Count the Ways", or in this case conversation hearts!

How many hearts do you think are in the jar? Post your guess in this thread by midnight February 16th and I will award the winner a $10 gift certificate to the My Scraps & More store. For a second chance, post your guess on the My Scraps message board as well. I am giving away a $10 gift certificate over there too!!! Good luck!!

It is also sketch day on the MSAM blog so I thought that a Valentine's day layout was fitting...

Thanks for poppin' in!!

I love you the mostest...

The title of my page is from the Tuesday Trigger (2/4/14) challenge at My Scraps & More which was to us that phrase on your page. The papers and embellishments are from one of the new collections from Elle's Studio. I am really liking the collections they have put out lately!! The page design is a sketch from Stuck on U Sketches. This one was a little bit of a struggle but I like the outcome!

Another fun sketch I played with recently was this one from Paper Secrets. Along with the sketch the challenge was to include an item on your page for the letters K.I.S.S. (kraft cardstock, ink, stitching, sticker) I am lovin' finding all of these scrap challenges and playing along!!!

Just a reminder, the first challenge at the Craft Hoarders Anonymous blog is still going strong! Please visit here for all of the information and to play along! Thanks for poppin' in!!
