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!

If It's Groovy turns ONE in January

a birthday party is called for!!! 

We will celebrate
by having a blog birthday party

team members have a celebration 
on their personal blog
by hosting a challenge.

The crop will take place
January 4th (yes, TOMORROW!) 
through January 10th.

Be sure to check back

Sneak Peek

You may remember the big Birthday Bash that is coming up over at If It's Groovy (if not, scroll down a few posts for full detail.) Well, I wanted to share a sneak peek of just a small part of the prize that I personally am offering up. You need to understand how cute this is...if I didn't have two of them this seriously would not be leaving my house!
