From our Blog to Yours--8/29

Here's another post for a SSD Rewards point. I took a little "Spelling test" and apparently I didn't do so well. :)

Your Common Spelling Mistake Score: 65% Correct

Your spelling is decent, but you do make quite a few mistakes. Let's just say you won't be winning a spelling bee anytime soon!

Do You Make Common Spelling Mistakes?

A Few of My Favorite Things...

I just saw these alphas online and I'm in love with them. I bought them, but I haven't scrapped with them. I just think they are the cutest things ever! :) They'll be great for Halloween.
This is a new kit that just came out this past Saturday and I have already scrapped 3 pages with it! I usually don't scrap again from the same kit, but I just love the colors... I think they're so relaxing. Anyway, it's my current favorite kit right now. :)

This is a kit I've been coveting for a while. I love the colors and the flowers (I can make a boy layout with blue flowered paper, right??). If I get the 40% off coupon this month, I'll definitely be picking up this kit. :)

"From Our Blog to Yours"

I just started participating in the challenges and forum at Sweet Shoppe Designs. They have a Rewards Program thingie that you can accumulate points and earn discounts, which is nice! I was pretty skeptical about doing challenges because I have 7 years worth of pictures that I'm behind on so why would I want to scrap something someone else wants me to do? But, in this past month I've made pages that I wouldn't have thought to otherwise and had a lot of fun trying new things. I've really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it! ANYWAY, I'm trying to get a 40% off coupon, so here's my post from their blog. I took this quiz from their blog (to get a reward point), and I have no idea why I got that answer. :) Oh well, I'm just glad High School is over with. :)

You Were the Arty Kid

Whether you were a drama freak or an emo poet, you definitely were expressive and unique. You're probably a little less weird these days - but even more talented!

Who Were You In High School?

New Creative Team

About a month ago I got on the Creative Team for Libby Weifenbach at Sweet Shoppe Designs. You can see her store here. I really love her designs and have had fun making some pages with her stuff. Here's some recent ones:






She's working on a great kit this week, so I'll post a preview of it this weekend.

For New Scrappers

I wanted to post a few things for people who are just starting scrapping or are just thinking of getting into it.

I have taken a few classes from Jessica Sprague and I just really love her teaching style and the fact that her classes are all videos of her screen with the program you use (either Photoshop CS or Photoshop Elements-- you choose) so it's super easy to follow along. She has 3 levels of classes and it used to be that you had to wait until she was offering the beginning class to take it, which was every 3 months or longer. But, now she's offering the beginning class self-paced. So, you can take the class anytime! It's a great way to learn a lot in a short amount of time. Here it is if you're interested. She also has TONS of free tutorials on her website: www.jessicasprague.com.

There's like a billion scrapbook stores online, but I've listed links to a few of my favorites on my sidebar. A few of them have sale days, so mark your calendars. :) Designer Digitals has two 25 cent items available only on Sunday and Mondays. Little Dreamer Designs has $1 Wednesdays, and Sweet Shoppe releases all their new stuff on Saturdays and all the new releases are 20% off Saturday only.

My first post!

I wanted to set up a scrap blog so I can post a few layouts and also tell my friends about sales or cute kits that I find. I hope to have my links and everything set up soon, so check back later if it's not done! :)
