Scrap & Play and Color Me Scrappy

The mid-month challenges are up at both Scrap & Play and Color Me Scrappy!! Both sites have great prizes up for grabs!!

The color combo for CMS was great along with the added twist of adding some sort of food on your project. This photo of my husband enjoying his birthday lunch fit the challenge perfectly...

Over at Scrap & Play we were given a choice of some hit songs from summers past to use as our title or incorporate into our journaling. I chose the song "Summer Girls" and scrapped these fun picture of my daughter and her friends enjoying the beginning of summer...

Make sure and visit both Color Me Scrappy and Scrap & Play to see the full challenge and design team reveal. They all knocked it out of the park!!!!

Until next time...

You Are My Dream Come True

It's time, once again, for another fun challenge board at 1.2.3. Get Scrappy! As you can see, this one is a little bit different...

It was fun looking through my stash to see what would work best with these color combos! I finally decided on this pretty My Mind's Eye collection from the Now & Then line...

Visit the 1.2.3. Get Scrappy blog for all of the design team inspiration and share what you create with this fun challenge by linking it up!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Tag, you're it!!

It's time for another fun challenge at Craft Hoarders!!!!

Challenge #11 Tag, You're It!

Use a tag on your project. Create a handmade gift tag. Create a tag mini album. Add tags to your scrapbook layout or your card. You may use some hoarded tag-shaped packaging or you may cut tags from scrap paper using a die cut template. Maybe you hoard shipping tags of all sizes. As long as your project contains some sort of tag, you will meet the requirements to play along!

I loved this challenge because I am a HUGE fan of adding tags on my layouts!! For this one, I chose to add a little one on one of the blocks...

I hope that you find the time to play along with us this month!! As always, we have a wonderful prize up for grabs from our sponsors...

Thanks for visiting me today and I look forward to seeing your "tag" creations in the near future!!
