Sept 7th Die Cut Challnge ~ Put Me in, Coach!

TGIF!!! It's Friday once again and we could not be happier! You know we love our Fridays around here! This week is our first Die Cut Challenge of the month and we thought we would pick something kind of in keeping with the time of year ... although kids do play sports all year, right? .. but we are thinking that sports is also a Back to School tradition. So, this time out Die Cut Challenge is:


So, we can't wait to see those NEW as of today projects that have to do with sports .. and where you've used your Die Cuts machines or die cut tools! Your "Put me in, Coach" projects are due by midnight Sept 20th.

1st Wednesday Card Sketch ~ with Special Guest Designer!

Well, Happy September, people! It's hard to believe that another Summer is behind us and Fall is rapidly approaching! But here we are with the first Card Challenge of the month! 

Are you ready for a new card sketch? We sure are! This one was prepared  by co-leader Sandi Clarkson.  Lots of room for wide interpretation! Can't wait to see what you do with this one! 




Next, we are super, over-the-moon excited about our very special Guest Designer this month. It is none other than our scrappy friend, Frank Garcia! Take a bow, Frank! This man is on fire with great ideas and has so much talent! Here is a bit about Frank in his own words.



My name is Frank Garcia and I have been scrapbooking for almost 5 years now. I was introduced into this craft about 4 years ago when me and my best friend first went into a craft store to pick up our first supplies. Since then, my love for this craft has grown to never ending levels and continues to grow each and every day. I love preserving memories, I am an avid photo taker, and take pictures almost on a daily basis. I love creating and sharing my creativity with others and truthfully scrapbooking has become a part of my everyday life. I always tend to create in new and creative ways and love to be inspired and love to inspire as well. I will have to say that my style is an ever-changing art form. I don't think I have a particular style as I am always inspired by everyday events and moments.

August 31 Sketch Challenge

Hey there friends! We are so happy that you've come by today
and hope that our newest sketch challenge is just what
you've been looking for to get your creative juices flowing!
We know this time of year is busy with establishing schedules
as many of our children are back to school by now.
Certainly hope that will provide just a bit more time
to craft for some of us as well!
We appreciate you coming by since we all know how life can
get ahead of us and there's always so much to do. 

Are you still thinking Summer projects? Sunny days, watermelon, bbq's,
days at the pool and little vacations! Or are you thoughts turning just a bit more chilly?
Or are cool Autumn days, pumpkin patches and Fall decorations taking up your
thoughts? Either way, there is still so much inspiration for us to use, wether you
are scrapping your Summer vacation photos from this year or
doing last year's Halloween festivities. There is still so much to be inspired by! 

We hope that you love the sketch and love the projects we have to share with you today...
