Road trip coming up!!

Someone left a comment on our blog wondering if our Roadtrip was open to anyone. The answer is yes. Please contact Carol Berry for more info...or if you don't have her information, please leave a comment on this post and we will get Carol to contact you. It sounds fun, and there are some seats left, so we hope you will join us!!

Website Friday

I love this website because sometimes I just need a extra push to get out of my box of scrapping, and the Dream Girl Blog does that for me. They will give you a challenge, but then add a twist (or several twists) to it. AND they have a design team, so they have examples to prompt you as well. I think their prize packages are great too...give them a try!!

Website Friday

Here is another website of interest (which I've decided will be featured on Fridays...): the blog - Stamp Something - is a very cool blog that I visit at least once a week. On Fridays, they offer a new stamp challenge which has to be completed by the next Thursday, & then linked to their blog. They choose a random winner to receive a very nice prize package. Now, you don't have to link anything or show it to the world (however, this is the only way to win!!), but it may help you think out of your box. Or, like me, justify the fact that I have over 40 stamps sets. This way, I actually use them!! I have been inspired to create some things that I would never have thought of, and feel so good after I use a stamp or stamp set that I've never used. Give it a try, and if you stamp something, link it here so that we can see too!!

Interesting Websites

A new feature that I would like to include on the blog is to introduce you to interesting scrapbooking websites. There are so many resources out there that we can use to inspire us. Our first website in this series is...ETSY (www.etsy.com). Etsy is a lot like Ebay, but described as "Your place to buy and sell all things handmade". If you browse the website, especially under "Paper Goods", you will find many unique and scrapbook-y kinds of things. This website is not for the faint of heart, you might just become as addicted to that website, as you were to Ebay!! Enjoy, and let me know how you liked the website!
