Trendy Challenges

My challenge at Memorable Seasons is this, be trendy!  I have played with most trends and enjoy trying new things, but I hadn't tried the Polaroid frames, speech bubbles, or the cut-out words.  When I received my November Memorable Seasons kit with Pink Paislee's Portfolio I added in the Studio Calico speech bubbles and frames for a little pop of something and the Heidi Swapp Memory File Foto Captions because I love her writing - what fun that turned out to be!  Here are a few of the layouts I created using these trends...

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, see you later!

Black Friday Crop - Bonus Round

Okay one more little tiny challenge - go to the gallery and leave comments for 20 things and then leave a comment in the Gallery Love post in the forum that you did this.  Also, pick your favorite item in the gallery and share that in the same post.  (When you are viewing in the gallery, right click on the item of your choice, click properties and copy the address.  Then in your comment in our Gallery Love post, click on the img button at the top and insert your url inbetween the []s.  Please ask for help if this doesn't make sense, we're glad to help out.)

We are so glad you could join us for our crop and hope that you had a wonderful time, scrapped a lot of memories, and even caught a few sales!

Hi there from Jean our GDT for November

So ladies this month we are very lucky to have our resident scrapper Jean Marmo as our guest designer -she is doing a FABULOUS job.    She had this to say to all you bloggers out there.............

Welcome everyone. I am pleased to be today’s guest blogger.  Did you know about the Holiday Project challenges that are being issued this month and  next? Last week Liz posted a Dress up Challenge and this week I posted a Thanksgiving/Thankful challenge.  And , if that  isn’t enough to keep you busy there is a color challenge, sketch challenge and MOTM challenge.

During this season of Thanksgiving , I just want to say how grateful I am for the MS community. There is such a feeling of friendship and encouragement.  The DT and members are each so talented and inspiring.  So, if you are new, please stop by the Forum and Say Hi. We would love for you to join in the fun!

This Week's challenges on the Forum

Hello, ladies! Liz here today to share with you a few challenges we have going on this week.

We are starting a new Holiday challenge which will run till the end of December. The Holiday challenge that is issued this week is to make some sort of Holiday embellishment for gift wrapping. This can be a tag, a hand made bow or a flower like I made below.

 

 

And finally, for his week's Thursday challenge we are going to work with this color combination.

You may use any shade of these 3 colors and you can add any other color you like, just make sure these 3 colors are predominant. Here is a layout I created for the challenge using October Afternoon's Woodland Park
