♥ July 30th monday cards challenge--let's get scrappy ♥

good morning ladies!!!

before we get started, i wanted to announce a change in the PRIZES each month for the MONDAY CARDS challenges. instead of a weekly prize for my MONDAY challenges, i will be awarding ONE prize at the END of each month.

to be eligible to win the "monthly" prize, just create in the MONDAY CARDS challenges, enter as many cards as you like all month long, and ALL the cards submitted will be entered in the drawing at the end of the month.

(new challenges will still be posted EVERY monday and wednesday)

all the cards created for the MONDAY CARDS CHALLENGES in JULY will be put in a drawing for a $20.00 paypal payment on AUGUST 1st. so the more challenges you participate in, the more card inspiration you share, the greater your chances of winning the prize pool.

since this will be a MONTHLY prize package, the deadlines for ALL the MONDAY CARDS CHALLENGES will be the last day of the current month at 11:59 pm PDT.



(you DO NOT have to use a 'Nook kit to participate in these challenges, but it will make it easier since the challenges are inspired by our monthly kit)so let's start July off with a bang!


today's challenge:

create a card using paper scraps, you may use any embellishments you like, but let's use up some scraps. it does not have to be from a 'Nook kit, any scraps will do

deadline: JULY 31st 11:59 pm PDT

ONE PRIZE will be awarded at the end of the month, all cards created all month long for this challenge, will be eligible for the prize drawing. ($20.00 paypal payment)
(to be eligible for the prize at the end of the month, all cards NEED to be posted in each of the weekly challenge threads)

where to post: right here in this thread in the CARDS forum and in the gallery

how many cards may you enter? as many as you like. the more cards you enter the better your chances of winning the random draw.
and some inspiration from the dt to get your started

July Multiphoto class

Hi there girls and welcome to this month's multiphoto class.

I have always liked multiphoto layouts but with my "white space" style I can't see myself using big photos. They'd fill up too much space and that is just not me. Still some memories need more photos. So here is my technique: make them smaller. Reduce your photos in size and you'll be able to fit plenty more on a layout. You can use photoshop, the gimp, picasa and there are many other programs that can help you.

For this class I have created a layout using a series of 4 small photos and of course the July My Scrapbook Nook kit. There are quite a few photos showing how the layout come about. I hope this class has taught you something, I for one loved creating this layout and photo tutorial.

Supplies: July kit, tag /brads / doilies / stamps / and buttons from my stash, gesso, page from an old book.



Step 1:
Take your background paper and add some gesso using a credit card (old one.)



STep 2:
Tear a page from an old book and place it on the layout.



Step 3:
Cut out two pieces of different patterned papers and layer them beneath your photos.



Step 4: Add a tag, doilies and diecuts.



Step 5:
Add two pieces of PP to either side of the cluster on a diagonal. Cut some of the metal MME flowers into pieces an place them with the buttons. I created three embellishment clusters each with one button, a "bling" pearl and a petal from the metal flower.



Step 6: Stamp to create a "flow"

Step 7: Add your title, journalling and more stamping if desired.

Want to play along. Come and join us on the message board!

July 1 Page Layout

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

Today I have a one page layout to share with you.

I loved the big package of journaling sprouts in this kit and decided to focus on using those.

I gathered a collection of coordinating sprouts, punched a few circles out of my patterned paper and started layering.

Here are some close ups of the finished product.....lots of sprouts, lots of layering.

I hope you have lots of fun using your sprouts!!!!

Kit Creations? YES!!

Dear oh dear is it that time again. Tuesday means kit creations and when preparing this post I was looking through the June gallery picking some of the work of our FABULOUS Design team only to realise that it is JULY. Now that went fast. A few of our DT girls have already been cutting into the kit but before that have a look at the July My Scrapbook Nook kit. It is filled to the brim with extremely gorgeous MME patterned papers and embellishments as well some Jillibean letter stickers and journaling sprouts! Sigh!

Here are some of the creations made with it. Sigh again. Aren't they amazing!
