National Scrapbook Week at Two Scrapbook Friends

The lovely ladies at Two Scrapbook Friends hosted a week long online celebration for National Scrapbook Day. Each day from Monday until Saturday challenges were posted in the forum. There were a lot of fabulous challenges. Thankfully they allowed us to combine challenges, so I was able to get more done.

In addition to the challenges below, I completed the following non layout/card challenges:

Carolyn's Before and After challenge ~ see earlier post

Karan's Gallery Crawl

Patti's Word Scramble

All Of Us: I purchased this little mini kit at Two Scrapbook Friends for this challenge. Everything that I used on the layout was in the kit except for the title "All Of Us" which is a Soft Spoken embellishment and the marker I used for the doodling and journaling. The pictures are of us in front of Turtle Jack's on Easter Sunday.

Challenges: Karan's Product challenge

Happy Birthday Card: A fun little card using orange and lime green (which are the favourite colours of Patti from The Scrapping Nook).  I love that little stamp!!!

Challenges: Laura's Orange challenge

*** I combined this with a challenge for Patti's birthday crop at The Scrapping Nook. 

O' Canada: This is a patriotic Canadian layout about why I'm proud to be Canadian. I forgot to note the paper manufacturer before gluing it down. I think if might be Karen Foster, but I could be mistaken.

Challenges: Cheryl's Oh Canada

Easter '09: I used Reminisce Easter papers for this layout and alphabet stickers from American Crafts. I love these photos of my brother Stephen with my children at Easter.

Challenges: Patti's 8675-309 challlenge

Spring Bling Card: I used Kaisercraft papers and bling to create this card. I added some flowers from my stash and used my Fiskars border punch.

Challenges: Joanne's Spring Bling challenge

I Wish I Wish To Be A Fish: I love the Snorkel line from Cosmo Cricket - the bright colours, the little fish -- cute cute cute!!!!!  I outlined some of the fish with my gold glitter pen. I added Stickles in Crystal and Tiara to the circles. I also used Stix2 Seed Beads and Fine Glitter on some of the circle. 

Challenges: Laura's Glittery challenge

Patti's Beach challenge

Carolyn's Circle challenge

*** I combined this challenge with the Product Highlight at The Scrapping Turtle because it uses Stix2.

If I Could: Paper from Pink Paislee, Jillibean Soup and KI Memories. I added a chipboard arrow, chipboard brackets, chipboard letters (Thickers) and a chipboard clock (Heidi Swapp).

Challenges: Karan's Chipboard challenge

Joanne's Number challenge

Karan's Time challenge

Sweet: I used purple (my favourite colour) Daisy Bucket papers for this layout. I added faux stitching around the outside of the layout, around the photo mat and around the circles. I used Bazzill In Stitch'z to sew the word Sweet.

Challenges: Carolyn's Favourite Colour challenge

Laura's Sketch challenge

Patti's Stitch Me I'm Yours challenge

Family Thing: Paper is from We R Memory Keepers Grandma's Kitchen and Sassafras Lass Bungle Jungle. I added Thickers, a Quickutz vine border, and flowers from my stash. Love this photo of Sara demonstrating one of our family traits.

Challenges: Karan's Distressing challenge

Karan's Sketch challenge

Cheryl's Quirky Habit challenge

Laugh: I used the wonderful Jillibean Soup papers and a We R Memory Keepers Pinwheel paper to create this layout based on Laura's sketch. I made the pinwheels into flowers and used the word Laugh for my title.

Challenges: Laura's Sketch challenge

Patti's Word Specific challenge

Joanne's Pinwheel challenge

You Hold The Key To My Heart: I wasn't able to use any patterned paper on this one so everything is cardstock. I dressed it up by using several of my Fiskars border punches. I added the metal key, heart and photo corners. The photo was a poor quality one that I lightened, but it is still grainy and the colours are off.

Challenges: Patti's It's All Metalistic challenge

Cheryl's Patterned Paper Be Gone challenge

Laura's Bad Photo challenge

My Love 4 U Is Outta This World: I used two Quickutz dies on this one - Saturn and Rocket Ship. I also used a Daisy Bucket stamp for the world, some brads, chipboard stars, two different fonts from Thickers, a foam star stamp, and lots of circles, rings and squares.

Challenges:  Carolyn's Square challenge

Patti's Stash It challenge

Patti's Solar System challenge

Mom's Day Cards: The card on the left was embossed with my new Quickutz Embossing Folder and coloured with a Copic marker. The card on the right was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and chalked with Colorbox Chalk Ink.

Challenges: Laura's Card Sketch challenge

Laura's Embossing challenge

Thanks for all the great challenges ladies!!!!! I had a lot of fun doing them!!!

National Scrapbook Week

Two Scrapbook Friends is celebrating National Scrapbook Day in a big way --- by holding a National Scrapbook Week!!!! Every day this week there will be challenges posted on the forum. If you complete the challenges you will get a chance to win a fabulous prize.

One of Monday's challenges was from Carolyn who challenged us to organize something in our scrap rooms. I took on the challenge and decided to finally organize my stack of patterned paper that has been sitting on my desk since the dawn of time.

Here it is organized alphabetically by manufacturer and paper line. All I need to do is put labels on the slots so that I know what is where. Oh, and get using it LOL!!!

Thanks for the challenge Carolyn!!!! I now have my desk top back!!!!!
