Quiet

So I am kind of being a blog slacker lately.

And I was on a roll there for a while.

Just not alot to say I guess.

Weird.

So I thought I would just post a bunch of stuff.

{you would rather look at stuff rather than read my ramblings anyway, right??!!}

Did you know that BHG Scrapbooks Etc. posts challenges & assignments on their website that give you a chance to get published in their magazine?
{check it out here}

You know the "Make it Yours" section of their magazine where different scrapbookers make their own version of a layout they were given for inspiration?
Well BHG posts those original layouts and you can make your own and have a chance to get published.

Anywoooo, here is a layout I did a while back based on a layout in the August/September issue.

{I forgot I had not shared this layout until I just got my copy.}

The original layout is by Mary MacAskill on pg. 58.

And here is my version...

Supplies: Patterned paper (KI Memories, Pink Paislee), Lace cardstock (KI Memories), Puffy alphas (Making Memories), Brads (KI Memories)

The challenge on the American Crafts blog a couple of weeks ago was to use their pens to doodle.
I made this little gift set for a friend at work...and used my favorite AC Precision Pens to doodle.

Supplies: Patterned paper; rub-ons; pen (American Crafts), Ribbon (Junkitz)

I made this card using some of the new My Little Shoebox stuff.

{this is from the Imagine a Forest line}
Supplies: Patterned paper; die cuts; tiny alphas; chipboard alphas (My Little Shoebox), Ribbon (Anna Griffin)

And one more thing...
The challenge on the AC blog for this week is to use 2 or more of your favorite AC products.
So here I have used brads {of course!}, those tiny alphabet rub-ons that are old but I still love, and 2 different kinds of Thickers.

Supplies: Album; ribbon; Thickers; Brads; Rub-ons (American Crafts), Butterfly punch (Martha Stewart), Cardstock (Prism)

Look familiar?
It probably does if you were at last year's Scrap Etc event (like 2008 last year) in Nashville.
I made about 9,000 class samples using this MOD album and I don't really need but about 2,000 of them anymore.
So I turned one of them into something I will actually use now.
And I am working on finding uses for the rest of them too.
