Here's a tempation of a prize:


And I'm hosting a scavenger hunt! Pm the answers to me and I'll pick 10 random winners to receive this alpha and a special surprise!

Don't delay - these challenges are only open until Friday October 23rd and then those fabulous prizes are going into the shop!

Yay!

I enjoyed celebrating Krystal Hartley's new CT blog (http://scraphappinessinside.blogspot.com). It's her designiversary - She created this wonderful mini kit called Fresh Baked Fall for the occasion. I used it for two challenges and I won them both!

Here's the hybrid party cone I created:


using a template by Mirkwood Designs.


Here's a scraplift I created inspired by one of Krystal Hartley's own layouts!!!
As you can tell there's a bit of a theme in these two projects - I'm on a wellness journey - and I have to say that I am starting to feel a bit better already!

ScrapMatters Manic Monday!

Today is Manic Monday at ScrapMatters - and that means sale time! Geeky Diva Designs has her Tag Sale Rounded Tag Templates on special today you can click on the product name to be linked to her store. Here's a tag I created with one of the templates using Gypsy Girl by wm[squared]. I've seen some great tag books created by some of my fellow team members too!

World Card Making Day

In honor of world card making day - I am featuring a fun card I created using Butterfly Birthday by Elise Hansen. It's a fun square card and the inside says "Wishing you a special day!". I also made a fun matching square purple envelope. The tag on the front allows for writing a name/address that is visible - even when you HAVE to make your envelope out of a darker paper.
Have a fun day celebrating!

DST October Featured Hot Product

After creating this project I was chosen for the Creative Team at Digishoptalk - "the hub of the scrapbooking community." Each month they feature a different product from around the digiscrapping world. I think it's fun to show all of the variety available to scrappers. And it will introduce some of us to designers or highlight some we know already!

So now at the beginning of each month - I'll post a project with the featured kit! This month is Sunshine and Songbirds by Digilicious Designs available at Divine Digital. I created a "Sweet Tweet" box. Yummy chocoloates or other treats can be placed in the individual pockets to give to someone special.
Yum!

Digi Layout Idea Notebook

I made this for the ReNEW it challenge for this month at ScrapMatters. I don't have any children so I adapted the pages to create an inspiration notebook in which to record my ideas!

Here's the inside cover - the phrase "create and celebrate everyday" shows up beneath the pages - I hope it's inspiring!
And finally here is the back cover! I used the kit One Fine Day by Happy Scrap Girl - I love so many elements and papers in this kit!

Can't wait to start using it!
