Fabulous Friday Challenge - Office Supplies

Friday, August 31, 2012

What a great week it was last week to see everyone using Chipboard on their projects.  Some very talented ladies out there for sure! 
This week is Office Supplies.  What a great chance to use some school supplies.  Let's see what the design team has created this week for some inspiration.


Lydia has repurposed an old 3 ring binder to hold photos of her son's many "model" poses.

Sarah M.

Sarah made her own die cut tags out of a manilla file folder then stitched them together to hold her hidden journaling. 

Sarah G.


Sarah G. used index cards to make a mini album. She chose her fav photos from last year and scrapped them along the lines of A is for Adventures; B is for Brothers, C is for Cuddles and Hugs ... you get the idea. She bound it all together between a chipboard cover with large book rings. This is a great way to complete a year in review album quickly and effortlessly )



Anita used staples and journaled on a Post-it note.


Beverly
Child's Reminder Board
Teresa Jaye made an alphabet writing practice set out of manilla file folders and index cards

Carol made her 1st "Junk Journal" using "junks" like paper scraps, old notecards (Egypt themed), product packaging, old jeans etc. Office supplies used: different paper clips, staplers, book rings.





We would like to welcome back Karen from The Paper Trail

Now a little about The Paper Trail
"I have been paper crafting for over 14 years now and really feel that it is an invaluable service to my family and generations to come. I have 3 daughters who are my inspiration and I love the creative outlet it provides me. Seeing the pages that my daughters and family will cherish come to life gives me great satisfaction. Why did I name my store "The Paper Trail?” Well, for me, scrapbooking is all about leaving a paper trail of you for your family and future generations to come. Webster’s dictionary defines paper trail as: documents from which a person's actions may be traced. Doesn’t that just sum up exactly what we do when we create a scrapbook page? We leave a trail of us – what we have done, who we are, etc.
I have opened a store so that you have options available to help you create the best trail that you can.
Our website address is: www.leaveapapertrail.com where we have a blog and online store. If you are ever in the Fayetteville, NC area - stop in at the store and say hi!
Happy Trail Makin’
~Karen" 
This is a beautiful prize that Karen has put together, head on over to her shop to have a look at all scrapping supplies that your just going to have to add to your cart

We really look forward to seeing all the wonderful creations this week. And please remember, one entry per person!
You have until noon (Central Time) Thursday, September the 6th to link up your project!

Fabulous Friday Challenge - Twine/Ribbon!

Friday, August 17, 2012


 We had so much fun with last week's Fabric challenge, we thought we would try another similar challenge! This week we are challenging you to use Twine or Ribbon on your cards, layouts and off the page projects! Our design team came up with some very creative ways to use twine and ribbon... check it out!












Note from Designer: "I had planned to cut the excess off as I laid pieces of twine down, but after the first layer, I really liked the way it looked overlapped, so I continued that pattern to frame the lid of this little box.



Carol used the twines from Timeless Twine to crochet a rose. Then used twines from The Twinery to twine around the canvas.
