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!

Hope to see you! All Newbies welcomed!

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!
We appreciate our members at Treasured Scrapbooking so much...without you there'd be no us!!! So today I thought spotlighting some of our member's work would be fun...here we go!

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!



It's so fun and inspiring to dive into the Treasured Scrapbooking gallery and see all the fabulous work our members do...take some time today to be inspired!
Happy Valentine's day!!! I know some people think this is a commerical holiday - but I adore the chance to celebrate love - I have a date with the love of my life today - my Nephew Jamie - he is four and makes my heart sing. We will be going to McDonald's for lunch then a trip to Target and JJ Maxx - yes - I know it is TJ Maxx, but Jamie calls it JJ! Do you have any plans for today?

OK - I thought I would share some sneaky peekies of things to come tomorrow - something to whet your appetite for the mid month reveal tomorrow. Here are a few goodies:


Be sure to check out the February gallery tomorrow for the full reveal of all the design team members mid-month project. I hope you are looking forward to it as much as I do - the design team members always inspire me!
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!!!
