Treasured Scrapbooking - We Love OUr Members Contest
Annual Contest
March 1st-28th
Please join us for a four week long contest involving challenges, games and prizes!
Each Monday morning (or late Sunday night) I will issue a challenge based on a design principle, and you will have until Sunday at midnight PST to complete your layout. If you don’t complete a layout, you are out of the contest. Entries will be “judged” by the Design Team and given a score according to the following parameters:
1. Following the challenges directions
2. Photographs
3. Overall composition
4. Success of using design principle
It sounds complicated, but I PROMISE it will be fun! Each design principle will be something easy, most likely it will be things you already do! Digital scrappers are welcome to join in on the fun, but there may be occasion where paper scrapping will be necessary, so be careful to read the challenge outlines each week.
At the end of the four weeks, the participant with the highest score will be our grand prize winner. There will also be a random name draw winner and a weekly winner. There will be games and prizes to go along with the fun all month long!

Thought I would chat a little about making your own flowers. 
Creating these little ribbon flowers are super easy - just cut a pievce of ribbon - I usually use a piece 6-8 inches long. Using your sewing machine or by hand sewing - stitch a straight stitch down the side of the ribbon. Then slide the ribbon down the thread slowly gathering it as you go. Once it is gathered, shape into a circle and stitch the sides togehter. You can then layer a variety of different things inside to add depth to your flower.
Another quick, easy way to create a flower embellishment is with punches. I combined two different punches and two different papers. Be sure to bend up the petals to give it some dimension - add a jewel to the middle and walla!!
Come on - give it a go - Morag has a challenge on the board to make your own embellies on a layout - whip up a quick flower and upload to Morag's Challenge Thread!

This first layout caught my eye right when it went into the gallery last week...it's by Casey (user name: "Purplbtrfly1"). I just love those cute butterflies and the embellishing as a whole on this layout---fabulous work girl!
Next up is an awesome layout created by Megan (user name: "daisymeh") that is adorable! I love that she got so many pictures on this layout and how she framed out the pictures with brackets and scallops...two of my favorite things! You rocked it Megan!
Kelly (user name: "Kelzpop") created this next card that caught my eye...love the color combination and the way she added some sparkle!
This next layout is gorgeous!!! I can't stop staring at it...just amazing! This was created by Rosangela (user name:"RO PHILIPPSEN")...great work!!
Ok, we have time for one more right? This last layout is by our upcoming March guest designer, Rhonda (user name: "Snap Whiz")...what else can I say but PRECIOUS!!! Love the mist, love the simplicity, love the sewing...love it all!

So Valentines is T-minus three days...are you ready?? I have to admit I don't have a gift for my husband yet...gotta get working on that one!!! I do however, have a few cards that I made for a few of my favorite people! I love to celebrate this fun holiday by telling my family and closest friends how much I love them in a handmade card. In this era of email and texting, there's just something refreshing about putting a stamp on an envelope and sending off something handmade to show someone you care! This year I picked up some cute Valentine's Day themed patterned paper and a few heart punches, and I was on my way to creating some super fun and easy V-day cards that I know your friends would love too!
Remember, if you choose to make cards that are a little bulky make sure to add a little extra postage to make sure it makes it to it's destination safely!
Take a little time to send a handmade ANYTHING to a loved one for Valentines day this year...they'll LOVE it!!!
Happy Creating!!!
-Jenni

I had a chance at CHA to use a full range of the products that Helmar produces, and I can tell you that I was super impressed!! I created a cute little mini book of Aussie foods and used several of the adhesives offered by Helmar, it was great to use the products hands on and learn a few little tips about each. The highlight was meeting Tracy, she is good people!
The good news for you is that Helmar is being carried in the Treasured Scrapbooking store now!!
My favorite product I used at CHA was the Liquid Scrap Dots, they give just a little bit more control over using a traditional pop up, things like more coverage, height
and invisability.
The 450 Quick Dry Adhesive is a must have for everyday scrapping. It is fast drying and dries crystal clear, very easy to work with and creates a lasting bond, no more embellies falling to the bottom of your page protector when you use the 450! Its acid free, machine washable and stainless. It will not damage your photos over the years either. I keep this in my adhesive arsenal at all times!
The last product I would like to share with you is Textured Effects. I am working with this product right now on a mini book. Textured Effects creates a textured finish when applied, depending on what you apply it with. Using a brush to apply will leave the brush strokes, using a sponge will leave a rough raised texture, you have the ability to use any applicator you can think of. You can also add acrylic paints to the medium to create a whole different look. It is acid free and you can use it on paper, wood, metal, ceramics, painted surfaces & glass etc.

BUT WAIT, don't start hopping yet!
We are also holding a Guest Designer Call!!!
I'm hosting another GDT contest for March! The challenge is simple, since the theme of the February Kits is inspired by the beautiful Basic Grey winter release, "Origins", your task is to do a layout or project based around the origins or beginnings of something. It can be your childhood, going off to school, the early days of a relationship, a new baby, whatever YOU feel ties into origins.
The requirements:
Your layout must be based on the origins theme
You must use at least seven flowers (can be handmade, but patterned paper doesn't count)
You must use at least one button and one gem/rhinestone of some kind
You must use at least three patterns of paper (can be included in your flowers)
You CANNOT use a plain CS background (you can use it as support, however)
You need to use at least three photos
I know that's a lot, but I like things complicated.
This layout is due by Midnight PST, February 10th. You must upload to the Treasured Scrapbooking Gallery to qualify.
I got in the spirit and broke my long scrapping dry spell and made this layout using the February Kit- "Dawning Inspiration", and the embellishments add on- "Beginning Brilliance."
I can't wait to see what you do, and thanks so much for hopping!
