Linda I love your first page; that thanksgiving themed paper is just so perfect and really cute! I like how you used circles for the scallop element, very creative! The second page is gorgeous those colors are so pretty and make a great backdrop for your photo! christinec68 I love the fun bright colors on your page and how you took the scallops of the sketch to another level!

grammadee I love how you incorporated the leaf embellies into the background and all the fun texture! Linda way to stretch the sketch into a 2-pgr! I love the classic color scheme and that paper with the reindeer and snowflakes is gorgeous!

here's mine with loads of old stuff on it! the papers are creative imaginations, daisy d's and sassafras, the punchinella is probably 10 years old, the alphas are old jillybean soup and the MME tiny word stickers are ancient too. and i used eyelets!! which are actually new, but that's beside the point belly button by sadkid, on Flickr

AussieMeg love the colors and mixed media and all the sparkle! Linda love the monochromatic scheme and simple title! grammadee love how you turned the sketch to fit your vertical photo and how you used some theme items but didn’t go over the top with them. The little maple leaf is adorable! joyfulnana your take on the sketch is great, love the title and your cute lil guy all warm and cozy in his sweater

Sorry- newbie question- where do we post images of our kits? I'm going to put a DD and a card kit together. I think you just need to take the photo when your kit is put together, and then wait for further instructions about posting it? stinkerbelle ? if you need help linking a photo to a post, please pm me. you don't need to post a photo here, that was just a lil heads up that there may just be points involved for posting a photo i didn't want people to miss out on that by making their kit and then getting very inspired and using it, without taking a photo first.

Sorry- newbie question- where do we post images of our kits? I'm going to put a DD and a card kit together. you can post them here on the board (the tapatalk app makes it really easy but there are other ways too), in our flickr gallery, in any other gallery (like scrapbook.com) and link here, lots of options! i'm heading out of town shortly but hopefully someone will come in with some instructions if you still have questions

kitbop, whatever size kit works for you will work for the game. if you kill one kit and have half the month left, i'd say definitely make another! my kit is ginormous so i don't see that happening for me

when it was just mercytiara out there, i devoured every one i could get! but now there's definitely getting to be a surplus, which i don't think is a bad thing at all. i'll watch videos from all skill levels and styles, just depends on my mood. i have one person i unsubbed from because she has extremely hairy arms and i couldn't look at them any longer other people who have weird vocal tics or who smack their lips or flutter their hands too much without getting to the point are also passed by. harsh, but reality having said all that, i appreciate all the free content and i think making the videos is the easy part; it's the behind the scenes stuff that i would really be lost at. so KikiPea maybe you're moody, but so am i. i'm well known for being um bitchy all the time if i'm not, my boyfriend wonders if i'm feeling ok!

AussieMeg, you can use a premade digi kit or pull one from different pieces as JaneB did above. obviously you won't be actually using anything up, but with a few tweaks i think it will definitely be doable for you! grammadee your card kit will be perfect! especially with the addition of all the stamps, dies, etc. and if you choose, those can count as embellishments

ok, got my 2 grab bags and i'm very pleased! i did get doubles (and even triples) of some papers, but since i'm a paper ho i'm totally ok with that. lots of fun embellishments and even 2 packs of thickers, plus one fabulous exclusive hip kit alpha. i've scrapped one or two pages using my new stuff and i'm very happy about that!

i actually remembered to post this in a timely fashion! sign up below if you'd like to be a part of a team for the month of October. we are six months into this fun challenge and i don't know about everyone else, but i am LOVING it! i've gotten so many pages done and used so many older supplies and am having a ton of fun doing it.
if you haven't joined a team before but are considering it, i challenge you to take the plunge! what do you have to lose?
sign-ups will close the evening of september 30 so that the teams can be coordinated and posted for everyone.

Hey there peas! After the fun we had in September with msliz’s make a fall kit challenge inspired by this post, she and I have teamed up to bring you another kit challenge, but with a fun twist. This thread is to give you a heads up so you can gather your kit together before the first, and be ready to hit the ground scrapping! This kit game will work well with any kind of kit, whether it be scrapbooking, December daily, card-making, PL, traveler’s notebook, whatever. If you’d like to play along, go ahead and pull a kit together (any theme/colors) and wait for further instructions. I first heard of this game from watching videos by Nicole Mackin, so the idea belongs to her. Before you start pulling supplies, think about what your goal for this kit is. In terms of the actual game, the end goal is to kill the kit, so obviously a smaller kit would be easier to kill than a huge one. But what if you want to use your kit to make 50 Christmas cards? Or maybe you’re 3 months behind in project life and really want a kit of supplies to speed that process up? Make the size of your kit according to the number of projects you want to make with it!Here are a few basic recipes to get you started: linklinklinkBe sure to add plenty in the way of embellishments because that will come in handy when the game portion of the challenge comes into play. You can use any size papers you like, but full sheets work best for the game. Feel free to pull a paper pad or collection kit you’ve been wanting to use; you may want to limit the number of papers if using a paper pad. And a little heads up for team players, be sure to take photos of your kit!
If you have any questions, ask away! Have fun making a kit you'll love creating with in the month of October and stay tuned until the 1st when the challenge goes live and additional info will be available.

i think my life has been a series of good ideas gone bad lol! i'm sorry it happened to you though, but glad you can at least return the one album. maybe you can use the page protectors as acetate for shakers or to store something.

i also use a fine-tip sharpie a lot; be sure and look for the sharpie pens vs the sharpie markers. i have a lot of older sakura micron pens and even some zigs from back in the day, but i tend to use the sharpie the most. i also have various others for colors, including silver and gold.

lilacgal coulis is pronounced "cool-y" and to get rid of the peaks, pop the nozzle off the bottle and give it and the neck of the bottle a good cleaning. then store your drops upside down (best way is to pop off the pretty crystal top). this has worked wonders for me!

Linda hope your little one is feeling better soon, poor thing! (and definitely poor you!!!) i had 2 get sick in one night once; one literally all over the entire bathroom (i had to put walmart sacks over my feet to be able to get in there and clean) and the other all over the kitchen on the way to the bathroom! let's just say i didn't make it to work the next morning and i'm so glad i have a strong stomach! i'm feeling the creative vibes coming through ladies, keep it coming and hope some of it will make it to me!
