I challenge you to create something NEW and DIFFERENT with your supplies. Have you ever altered a journal before? Created a layout for framing? Used your paper to decoupage a tabletop? <br /><br />Be sure to share your creations with me!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354683970971571201.post-80739999668616226812011-05-05T07:57:00.000-07:002011-05-05T08:00:03.443-07:00Thankful ThursdayHere is a link that can be a great time-saver.

One easy way to use bright colors successfully is similar to the advice on mixing patterns...to ground them with a solid black or white background.

(I don't know about where you are, but here in MI it is sloooow coming and seems to be needing a little encouragement!)<br /><br />Nothing says spring more than flowers...so today I challenge you to make some homemade flowers for your projects. Take some time on youtube and you will find tons of tutorials on different designs. So, whip up a few...don't worry about what you are going to use them for just yet. Just have fun creating them.

Or maybe you just realized that you have a lot more to say than you allowed room for? Or what if the writing is just going to "ruin" the "look" you are going for? Don't lose hope! Simply turn the layout over and write on the back! You can write as much or as little as you want without worrying at all about how it affects the appearance of your layout...and most importantly, all those important thoughts are preserved for future generations.

To continue the feeling a little longer, this week's challenge is to scrap something...anything...having to do with your spirituality. Whatever that means to you and whatever aspect of it you choose to focus on is fine, but I challenge you to take time this week to preserve some of your thoughts on a layout.

Next time you are stuck, try using a song title as your layout title, or part or all of a song's lyrics as your journaling.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354683970971571201.post-70689233587632093102011-04-18T19:13:00.000-07:002011-04-18T19:46:27.995-07:00Technique TuesdayProbably my number one addiction when it comes to scrapbooking is patterned paper. Many friends have expressed to me that they are a little 'scared' of using a lot of pattern, however, especially when it comes to mixing them. I want to suggest that a great way to use fun, vivid patterns in any combination is simply to use them sparingly and against a very neutral background.<br /><br />Here are two examples. In this first one I used thin strips of multi-colored paper as a frame around the white background. With all the quite-literal white space, I was able to use a variety of coordinating alphas for my title without overwhelming the viewer's eye, adding a touch of fun without detracting from the photos.<br /><br /> In this next layout, the background is actually a very pale blue. Although the patterned papers are very bright and all different, they are again present in small amounts. The patterns themselves are small as well. The placement of the papers leads the eye to the photos, and the paper in the circle serves to tie the colors together. The brightly-c0lored lines it contains are so very thin that they are hardly noticeable themselves; it is a very subtle pattern.<br /><br />I would love to see (and share!) your examples as well!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIj7N3745ZN-KEOW0T-p8PLXrsIklqJrVbLeFgrRf0PECUhp6dwefPFMoVINWGkFEF97-rTV_cAwef1Na0xac5xp_imZxQx8ExCvh-dtPIVTfYxXuKNkZdOiWc11tKuLGZzWb_Ekeqrpxc/s1600/IMG_8389_edited-1.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIj7N3745ZN-KEOW0T-p8PLXrsIklqJrVbLeFgrRf0PECUhp6dwefPFMoVINWGkFEF97-rTV_cAwef1Na0xac5xp_imZxQx8ExCvh-dtPIVTfYxXuKNkZdOiWc11tKuLGZzWb_Ekeqrpxc/s400/IMG_8389_edited-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597117577296821106" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPQBMntbNIg0Jy0trjr_W2qUd29YQpuIU0kCS3sTWTc9gPXlEIk7c1xyJYXvXU49oPgpljf3KSazSdMcpogfR2hS_LD7A5OXSiIDC7p4sv3hgmLB6guwkV9WTMpazAcFGQas0Mnz6N5a4/s1600/IMG_8351_edited-1_1.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 395px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPQBMntbNIg0Jy0trjr_W2qUd29YQpuIU0kCS3sTWTc9gPXlEIk7c1xyJYXvXU49oPgpljf3KSazSdMcpogfR2hS_LD7A5OXSiIDC7p4sv3hgmLB6guwkV9WTMpazAcFGQas0Mnz6N5a4/s400/IMG_8351_edited-1_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597117576575056290" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354683970971571201.post-15108349334195244972011-04-18T07:44:00.000-07:002011-04-18T08:12:56.378-07:00Manic Monday!Welcome to my first Manic Monday post!<br /><br />Just a quick-and-dirty challenge for a Monday morning to get your mojo flowing for the week.

You can visit her lovely (and bilingual!) blog at <a href="http://dianaskreativeecke.blogspot.com/">http://dianaskreativeecke.blogspot.com/</a>. Thanks Diana!<br /><br />Several more of you indicated that you took me up on my challenge as well...wonderful! Card-making is a great way to use up our scraps and who doesn't appreciate a handmade card?<br /><br />You may be curious as to who won the random prize. I had my kids choose a random number today and I am happy to announce that the lucky winner is:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:180%;" >VIJI! </span><br /><br />Viji, please get me your address and I will get the pens out to you.<br /><br />Look for more posts coming soon...I have some plans and ideas brewing in my head!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354683970971571201.post-52735752554823623642011-04-06T21:41:00.001-07:002011-04-06T22:55:38.051-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhywOyAtHGbrEd1cSx3zfDjzIPRsZSJJnL1-7-LJRQDC-zKc58cCs3d_YjFy7N69SHvXS1oZ182MwtcM2frFhWgnoO3peA5O5bj-irmzKoHw1C3QuezCljVUQP8Lo6EV2mvfnTQBXiThM/s1600/cooking-and-cleaning.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhywOyAtHGbrEd1cSx3zfDjzIPRsZSJJnL1-7-LJRQDC-zKc58cCs3d_YjFy7N69SHvXS1oZ182MwtcM2frFhWgnoO3peA5O5bj-irmzKoHw1C3QuezCljVUQP8Lo6EV2mvfnTQBXiThM/s400/cooking-and-cleaning.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592716251647194946" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Welcome to the National No Housework Day Online Blog hop!<br /><br />If you have arrived not knowing until now about the hop, no problem...just go back to </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com%20">If It's Groovy </a></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >, where this hop starts, and work your way through.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-family:trebuchet ms;" > You may find games, prizes, projects and how-do-you-dos along the path :)<br /><br />We would appreciate it if you sign up to keep in touch with us by "following" and would love your comments!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Perhaps you arrived here from </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://nikkisdoghouse.blogspot.com/">Nikki Sivils</a></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >; if so, great!

What I keep coming up with is that "No Housework Day" or not...some things just have to get done, right? And aren't we blessed to have people in our lives that pick up the slack for us when we need help? It may not be with housework (though it could be.) Maybe the help is at work, or with our kids, or even emotional. But these people are downright irreplaceable in our lives and we love them!</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">So my challenge to you is to make a thank-you card. If you send it to the person you had in mind, so much the better! Monday morning I will choose a random winner to receive a set of Zig Chalk Writer pens in lovely pastel colors!</span></span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszXHaXtwSUtNEDuZuUyOgJF7IJGia0cpU4iEqQrVCNS-25d6lkOHK98xS6zbAJjeXVYLpHKMsMDddWFbGoo45o0vHU3dafgNPEHiU72y-_eL_usLciBv2VxAdRM52mOkQp8LBMEexTQuq/s1600/zig-chalk-collection-writer-markers-6-pens-new_370239953770.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszXHaXtwSUtNEDuZuUyOgJF7IJGia0cpU4iEqQrVCNS-25d6lkOHK98xS6zbAJjeXVYLpHKMsMDddWFbGoo45o0vHU3dafgNPEHiU72y-_eL_usLciBv2VxAdRM52mOkQp8LBMEexTQuq/s400/zig-chalk-collection-writer-markers-6-pens-new_370239953770.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592667602616028994" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Thanks for your visit, and please head over to see </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://scrapbookers-anonymous.blogspot.com/">Theresa at Scrapbookers Anonymous</a></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" > next.
