Inspiration - Our November Guest Designer Linda Albrecht!

Our Guest Designer for November is none other than the talented Linda Albrecht. She really rocked our November kit!

I love those journaling strips and her little hand cut bird! So sweet!

My favorite thing about Linda is her sense of design in terms of shape. She is able to use so many shapes on her layouts and it all blends so effortlessly. She is definitely an inspiration. Thanks, Linda, for being part of our team this month!!

Be sure to check out the Mosh Posh gallery to see all of our November projects. What was your favorite this month? Is it even possible to choose?

We will see you tomorrow for our Design Team Blog Hop!

It's Time For a Blog Party Sketch Challenge!

Don't you just love flowers? Wouldn't you just love a chance to win all 175 of these flowers? There are felt flowers, paper flowers, acrylic flowers, glittery flowers, layered flowers with buttons, metal flowers, crocheted flowers, chipboard flowers and velvet flowers. Whew. That's a lot of flowers. If you would like a chance to win all of these flowers then you need to try out our sketch challenge!

The super talented Frances Sylvia designed this sketch for us this month. Isn't it just perfect? All that you need to do is create a layout or card using this sketch. It's as easy as that. Just leave us a comment here linking us to your creation. Yup. That's all you have to do. You have until Tuesday, November 17th to link your creation. All winners will be announced on the final day of the Blog Party -Friday, November 20th.

Just to get your inspiration going -

This is the layout that Frances created. I am just dying over the cuteness of her flowers. Love.them.

I created a very simple scalloped border using my Fiskars circle punch. You can see how I did it on my blog.

Have a wonderful Tuesday and I will see you back here tomorrow!

Ad Inspiration Contest

What's this? Another prize? Why yes, yes it is.

As a scrapbooker, I am guilty of buying matching shirts for my girls because I just got the cutest patterned paper that is absolutely going to match and make the cutest layout ever! It's true. I admit it. I wouldn't admit that to Brad, but I'll admit it to you. :)

We can find inspiration everywhere. Including magazines!

I Googled "vintage magazine ads" and found these fun ads! The lawn mower ad has a great design. I love all of the rectangles.

This Sears ad has amazing colors. I wouldn't use the design as inspiration, but I would definitely use the color scheme!

Alright, now it's your turn! Let's see your ad inspiration! All that you have to do is find an ad that you think is inspiring. And here is how the points will work:

+1 point = link to an online ad (just copy and paste the web address when you leave a comment)
+5 points = take a picture of an ad from a newspaper, magazine or any print media and upload it to your blog so that you can inspire others
+10 points = if you upload your ad inspiration to your blog AND create a layout or card from it!

One lucky winner will win the prize pack above AND the design team will use your ad inspiration when we create our layouts for June. Your name will appear in a special blog post that features all of our ad inspiration layouts.

You have until 12:01AM on Friday, May 29th to link your ads! The winners will all be announced on Friday! Good luck! :)

(And don't forget our Week 2 Prize!)

Card Scraplift Challenge!

This month I made this card for my dear friends BB and Chris who had a baby. Their little guy, Myles, is super adorable and his room is decorated in greens and blues, so this kit was perfect. My challenge to you is to scraplift my card. Easy enough, right?

Blog Party!!! Final Day! Let's Scraplift!

Do you scraplift? I find so much inspiration online - blogs, message boards and online galleries. There is just so much out there!

As soon as I saw Michelle's layout, Our Tree, I just knew that I wanted to scraplift it. I love the way that she used the blocks of paper on her layout and framed them in with the red patterned paper. I also loved the circle embellishment that she used. I love everything about it.

This is my scraplift. The colors are really off because I had to use my indoor lighting since it has been raining all day, but you get the idea. I cut out a frame from patterned paper and created blocks of patterned paper inside. Thanks so much for the inspiration, Michelle!!

Have you seen any amazing layouts lately that you want to scraplift? Leave us some links so that we can be inspired too!

You have all day tomorrow to get caught up with our Blog Party and I will be announcing the winner on Monday! I am still getting caught up with leaving comments on blogs and checking out layouts, but I am working on it! :) Thank you SO much for a fun week!

Blog Party - Theme! (And a contest!)

Have you ever noticed that we have a section in the Design Team Gallery that is designated for our theme of the month? For February our theme is Together. I think that it was the perfect theme for February, don't you?

I love this layout by Jenny Dziekan. I love the strips of paper and how she staggered the title.

I love to see how everyone uses the theme. Lisa Houpt used it as part of her title, instead of having it stand alone as the title. And how cute are her circles??

Lisa Kremer created this layout. I love, love, love how she used the paper for her journaling and how cool are the strips of paper for the flower?

Have you seen the Mosh Posh sneak peek for March? We need a theme for March!

Let's hear your ideas!! If we use your idea as our theme for March, I will send you some of the brand new Jenni Bowlin chipboard buttons and pearl flowers! Can't wait to hear what you think of!!!

Blog Party - Card Challenge!

What do you do with all of the beautiful scraps of paper that you have at the end of a project? Do you make your own cards? I love to create something on a smaller scale and there is the added bonus that someone is going to be so excited to get something in the mail!

Lisa Kremer created this beautiful card for us. I love how she used the ink and the strip of ribbon!

Our lovely Jenny Dziekan created this sweet card. I love the pinked edges and the three dimensional heart. SO cute!

Lisa Houpt created this card. Don't you just love the pom pom trimming? Such fun, bright colors!

This one is mine. All of those Christmas gifts required lots and lots of thank you cards!

Here is your challenge: Create a card! You have until Sunday, February 22nd to create a card using your Mosh Posh kit. Anyone who completes this challenge will receive an extra 5 chances for the Embellishment Prize Pack!! Just leave a link here to your completed cards. I can't wait to see what you create!

Update 2/20
Check out this card that Cherrie made for the challenge!!!
I love, love, love how she used the ribbon at the bottom of the card! And check out that flower!!! Cherrie, you are awesome!

Sarah!! What a beautiful card! I love the glittery flowers and I love the sentiment. Much appreciated. What a great card to send to someone! Sarah combined scraps from the February and July 2008 Mosh Posh kits. Way to use those scraps!!!!

Oh, Michelle!!! This card is beautiful!!! And you say that you don't make cards? You need to start! I love the texture and I love that bow!!!

Holly, this is such a gorgeous little card!! I LOVE the color scheme and I love the embellishments that you chose. Beautiful!

Let's see those cards!!
