Last Call!

Today is the last day to submit an entry for the Pretty Ribbon Challenge...do we have any last-minute beauties?? And while you are here, don't forget to take a peek at the slide show on the side bar. I've had some gorgeous entries thus far and I know you will want to see them and be inspired!

Ready for some more grooviness?

We couldn't keep the fun all to ourselves any longer! We've now moved over to If It's Groovy @ Ning where we can have all the interactive fun we want! Please stop by and join us for an inside look at all the inspiration from the many teams of designers, to chat about all things scrappy (and non-scrappy!), check out our swaps and trades forums, and visit all the birthday bash challenges in one place!

Before you go, though, please check out all the AMAZING work turned in in response to the pretty ribbon challenge! You can find it at the sidebar on your right. If you haven't turned in your layout yet, or know someone else who would like to, remember the challenge is now open until Jan. 30th!

NEWSFLASH!

We are having sooo much fun with the birthday bash that we've decided to make it last! The challenges will be open through the end of the month, so if you haven't submitted your layout yet, there is still time! Tell your friends!

If It's Groovy Birthday Bash Challenge!

What's a birthday without a beautifully wrapped gift?

And what makes a gift beautiful more than ribbon?

My challenge for you is to use ribbon in a creative
way on your layout!

Choose one of the following ideas and submit it to me
by Jan. 10th at midnight your time for a chance at a
wonderful gift of your own!

1. Use ribbon to frame a photo  on your layout.

2. Stamp on a ribbon and use it on your layout.

3. Use at least five different ribbons on your layout.

4. Create a flower from ribbon and use on your layout.

5. Braid, twist, or weave ribbon on your layout.

Here is my sample...please forgive the wonky scan! In real life the
ribbon and photo matting are both straight.

 

And here is the adorable mini-album kit that will go to the randomly-selected winner!
