Hello March and REVEAL day

Good morning ladies and Hello to the month of March-WOW how time flies!

So this month our reveal day is kinda short.  Why you ask---well we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of some of the new goodies for the store.  And Jill and Emmalie always want the DT to have the newest product out there to work with.  So becuz I have a big event going on in my life-I had to go ahead and work with some stuff we already had on hand.  And boy did I luck out,  LOOK at what I received

Its some awesome MME Kraft Everyday pps, mixed with some red cardstock-YUMMY!   So here are two things I wanna share with you today- first up is a layout I did about my son--I used a sketch from pagemaps

And next is a little card I created--I just love making these rolled flowers--thank heaven for glubers-LOL!

So there you go girls--I will have more to debut thru the month but I am saving them for a contest we are having later.

Also stay tuned as a little birdie told me that the other DT girls got their new stuff to work with and it's REALLY good!  As they get done I am oh soo sure they will be happy to share with you!

Thanks for looking,
toodles,
Tami

Pre-Crop Challenge

For those that don't know we've got a fun Crop/Blog Hop coming up Friday, Feb 24 that runs through Sunday. You will have until February 29th to complete the challenges. So be sure and come by for some games and fun challenges.

So today I'm issuing a pre-crop challenge to get you warmed up for this weekend. Yipee! It's coming up quickly...get your photos printed and your scissors sharpened. Can't wait!

There are so many fun trends and though I don't use them all, there are three that I'm loving right now.
* Twine - love it and want to use it on everything
* Kraft - loving all the fun lines they are making with kraft..so fun!
* Banners - still loving them even if it took me awhile to want to use them. Now I seem to have to tell myself to stop using them so they aren't on every layout.

So my challenge to you: create a layout using these 3 trends. If you struggle with one of them I'll even accept a layout using 2.

Here is my take for this using my February MME Funday Kit:


Come join in the fun with us! I can't wait to see what you create!

Use your scraps to create a layout

Hi! Raechelle here for my first blog post, and my first challenge on the boards. :) What do you usually do when you have left over scraps from a kit or project you have been working on? I usually toss them in one of my Iris cases to save for a future use, however I had one more layout I needed to create with the wonderful Bo Bunny Snowfall kit I received this month, so I decided to put the scraps to use.
I arranged them into a simple block formation and then added some of the metal accents and stickers. I had completed a layout in no time!

I do hope you'll join us for this challenge, as well as the other challenges that have been posted this month. There is Tami's Color Challenge, Audrey's Love Challenge, and Wendy's Journaling Challenge.

Remember you can win a gift certificate to the store if you are the winner, and with all the new CHA product arriving, the store is filling up with the latest and greatest for your scrappbooking needs (or wants)! Not to mention the discounts you can receive are AMAZING!

Gallery Spying..

As I was browsing through the gallery today, I was just so impressed with all the layouts and project that were in there.  I thought I'd share a few of my favorite over the past few weeks!

This first one is my Laura (scrapaddict4).  I love the colors and I might have to use this "heart matching" idea!

I also love the color combo on this beautifully soft page by Bev. And the square misted doily is so pretty!

I read the journaling on Susan's layout iver and over again...it is so powerful.

I love how Tabitha did the title on this page and use the black and white photo with the kraft papers.

And lastly Louise had such a creative way of adding memorabilia to her layout...she simply wrapped the postcards up with some ribbon!  Love it!

Congrats ladies, and keep those pages coming!

Challenge time at the forum

So have you had a chance to check out some of the February challenges yet?  They are really good ones, now if only I could find the time to play along.  Here is a link to Tami's Color Challenge and then Audrey's Love Challenge if you'd like to play along.  Remember you can win a gift certificate to the store if you are the winner and the store is amazing right now - every kind of new product you would want and the discounts are AMAZING!

Today is my day to issue a challenge here at Memorable Seasons and I chose to challenge our members to a Journaling challenge. 

I always write something on my layouts - what about you? Well for this challenge I am asking you to REALLY write on your layout. You can hand write or use the computer, but you must include a lot of journaling - really put your heart into this one.

Here is one of my examples using my Lily Bee Head Over Heels kit:

 Make sure you stop on by to see more of my examples, check out the other challenges, and do some shopping!
