It is definitely the dog days of summer here in Montana! Looking at my two lazy, furry kids, I can see where that old saying came from. :) If the heat is zapping your creativity, I've got just the thing to perk it back up ... a FREE copy of SCT's summer issue! In addition to the print copy being given away here, you can also view the issue for free online.

Post here your favorite thing about summer and we'll draw a random winner next Wednesday. I'll start: my fav thing about summer is fly fishing, and it doesn't get much better than the Bow River in Calgary. Lookie at that perdy Rainbow!!



Have a fun weekend peeps!

Happy Saturday, everyone! Thank you for your patience with the delay in getting this post up and going. The end of May got really crazy for me and it hasn't seemed to stop. :)

A year's subscription to Scrapbook & Cards Magazine (print version) and a set of PageMaps dies by Spellbinders is up for grabs on this contest. The magazine will inspire you and the dies will help you make quick, creative work of your papercrafting projects. What a great combo!

Happy Friday, everyone! Marla here with a really fun shape card challenge. Bo Bunny is sponsoring this challenge and the lucky winner will receive their choice of their newest collection, Key Lime. Have you seen their recent release? SWOON!!!


Here's the card that I created for this challenge. I've become quite the hoarder of Spellbinders nested dies, so it was a pretty simple card to put together. It's still very easy to use a PageMaps card sketch to make a shaped card, because all that really changes is the outside edge (I know, sounds good, right? LOL)!



Iwpna Palamountain had the same idea and created this beauty:



Several of the talented design team members at Bo Bunny also joined us on this challenge and created these fantastic cards!

Hello everyone, Christa here with a really fun sketch conversion challenge. When I go through the monthly PageMaps sketches, I often love the 8.5x11 size sketch, but sometimes the format is not big enough for all of my photos. But don't overlook this size sketch, thinking it can't work for you. Converting one to a 12x12 is super easy and I'm here to challenge you to try it! Webster's Pages has joined us for this challenge and will send the lucky winner a collection pack of their new line, Plum Seed.


Here's the 8.5x11 sketch that I loved so much. Not only is it a great design, but it's also perfect for using up scraps of my favorite bits and pieces that I simply cannot part with! By converting my design to a 12x12 page, I was able to use a larger, single photo of my daughter and it gave me more room for my lengthy journaling and an oversized title.

Hi everyone, this is Stephanie and I've got a fun challenge for you today! We've teamed up with Fancy Pants (one of my most favorite companies!) and they are sponsoring this challenge with a collection pack of one of their new lines going to the lucky winner!



I am a busy mom to two boys and don't get a lot of time to scrap. I'm sure there are a lot of you out there in the same boat and I hope you find PageMaps sketches as much of a timesaver as I do!

When I'm going through PageMaps sketches, looking for one that will work with my photos, I often pause for a moment when I hit a more "girly" one, wondering what I can do to change it to fit my boyhood themes. The sketch is perfect, the photos are spot on, the design is great ... but what would I put in place of that flower in the corner? :) I want to let you in on a little secret: I print the sketch and, using a white sharpie, I color out the more girlie parts of the sketch, then go forward designing the page with more boy-like embellishments!

Hi all, Julie here, hijacking the blog for the day! So is everyone enjoying the festivities so far this during this anniversary party? Aren't all of these challenges and prizes just great? Well, I've got another one I'd like to invite you to!

This challenge is sponsored by Penny Black Stamps and is your chance to win not one, not two, not three, but SIX sets of Becky's new PB stamps!






To enter this challenge, create a card based on the card sketch to the left. Using the recipe card above, your card should include 1 button or brad, 2 patterned papers, 3 layers and the 4 colors show. That's it, pretty easy! This contest starts today and ends at midnight MST on Sunday, June 2, 2013. Post a comment on this thread with a link to your entry. This contest is open to everyone, everywhere! :)

Good luck everyone!

MME has released a brand, new collection called My Girl and it is definitely one of my favs to date!

Lynn Ghahary had some fun with the That's The Ticket set, layering and hanging them on this super cool, all-boy page.


Stephanie Perdue combined That's the Ticket with the Address Book dies, and threw in a few Office Supplies dies from last year for good measure!




Marla Kress took a bold, simple approach with the Address Book dies and created a double-cut tab that holds her date. The notebook die, from the Office Supplies set, holds her jouraling.
