NSM Challenge #11

This challenge is going to be a 2-part challenge for today and tomorrow. Today I want you to e-mail me pics of your scrap space. Where you scrap and where you store all your scrapbooking treasures. I want pics of what it looks like today, messy or not. Then we are going to organize our spaces, yep, I said it! CLEAN IT UP!!! For those that participate in the challenge today and tomorrow you will receive an altered paint can with matching cards. E-mail me your pics of your spaces by midnight (mountain standard time).

This is my space. I have a large table that, as you can see, has been being used! I also have both sides of my closet with all my stuff. Pretty messy! Can't wait to tackle that clutter!

Pink baby!

Here is my baby card with the pink. I really love how this card turned out so I made two! LOL! Can't wait to give these to a couple baby's mama that I know.
Supplies: Bazzill cs, American Craft ribbon, CTMH Baby Steps Stamp set, Stickles, CTMH Tulip ink and CTMH Sorbet ink.

NSM Challenge #9

The inspiration for today's challenge has come from my friend Jamie who just announced that she is pregnant with her first girl after 4 boys! So, we are going all baby! Create a baby card using anything you would like, but be sure to include the color pink somewhere! E-mail me a pic of your project by midnight (mountain standard time) to be entered into a drawing for a goody bag of PINK goodies! I will post my card a bit later.

My challenge & workshop sample

This is my challenge artwork for challenge #8 using my summer colors red, white and blue. This also happens to be what you will be creating if you sign up for my workshop on May 23rd. 3x3 card box that holds 8 3x3 cards including envelopes. Although I do not remember where I got this template, it did not originate from me. I have had it for a really long time and have used it a ton, but I did not create it. Props to who did because I love it!

NSM Challenge #8

Super easy one today! One thing that contantly pops into my mind when I think of summer is 4th of July, which then turns into red, white and blue. Create something using those colors and e-mail it to me by midnight (mountain standard time) to win a set of handmade monogram notecards w/ envelopes made by me. I will post my creation a little later today. I would love for you to leave a comment and tell me what pops into your mind when you think about summer.

NSM Challenge #7

Good morning! This challenge that we are going to do today will actually lead into another challenge in the near future so be ready! :) Today I challenge you to take a few pictures. Those pictures that you take today, will be used to complete a layout on a future challenge, so keep that in mind. And they have to be pics that you take today, not ones that you have stored on your camera or sitting somewhere collecting dust! LOL! E-mail me these pics before midnight (mountain standard time) to be put into a drawing for the brand new Foundry Tabs in the CTMH Summer 2009 Idea Book.

Here are a couple of the "way too many" pics I took today to scrap later. This is my cat Jack Rabbit Slim who is just a little over 2 years old. My hubby named him from the movie Pulp Fiction. We love that movie! Can't wait to see all of your pictures. Please feel free to leave a comment on just how cute my kitty is.
