Last Scrappy Day Before 2010

I hope everyone has had a wonderful and safe Holiday so far! 

We will be scrapping this Wednesday for the last time in 2009!  Sadness, Relief, or just plain ready to start a new Year!  The theme this week will be to complete an unfinished project.  Bring something you didn't get done in 2009 and get it done!

Have a safe New Year Celebration!  Be back next week for new challenges and inspiration!

Snow & Scrappin!

We're Scrapping this week.  Still being inspired to make more gifts!  This time by Anthropologie!

Hope to see you!

It's that time are your handmade gifts started or even done? Time to keep the momentum going! We are scrapping Wed. Hope to see everyone with a ton of projects to work on!

Thanksgiving Eve Scrapping

I know we're all panning for our family gatherings this week. Cleaning, scrubbing, planning, cooking, we may need a little break from all the hub bub! So we will be scrapping on Thanksgiving Eve even if it's just to take a breather from all of your preparations! Hope to see you!

A Little Inspiration - No Scrappin this week!

Time to start getting ready for guests. Are your menus planned? I realize it's not crafty inspiration but it's good to be inspired in all areas! So I thought this was appropriate!

Since we're not scrapping this week everyone will have some extra time to plan. Have a great week!

Fall Colors - Playing Catch Up

Almost half way through November. We're all starting to make plans for the Holidays. Join us this week to work on projects for upcoming events or past events either way it's all good. Our challenge this week will be Catch Up only because we seem to be falling behind!

I Challenge You

There is a blog Just Christmas and Birthday Cards that challenges you to create one Birthday and one Christmas card each week. This is a great idea if you start at the beginning of the year you will have over 50 by the end of the next year. It's just 2 cards a week. Super simple right? So why not give it a try this next month see how it goes and if we love it we'll continue on with the 2 cards each week! We can share them here on the blog that would be fun! If someone that wants access to write to the blog doesn't have it just let me know. Here is a little Photo inspiration for Christmas and Birthday to help us on our way!

Here it us October is almost over! Only a few more days. Are you ready for the trick or treaters? Are you ready for the school parties? Are you ready for November? Well we are scrapping this week so you can have a little more work time to get ready!

Hope to see you!

Just a little inspiration this Week!

All the leaves are falling! My yard is covered!!! I'm sure every one's yard is covered! Time for those fall leaf pictures outside frolicking or how about some beautiful trees changing color?

No scrapping this week I have to work. I will see you next week though! Have fun and make sure to do something with fall leaves this week! Just think of all the beautiful colors you can bring indoors to create with!

Boo!

I was wrong we are scrapping this week but not next week! I'm confused this month! So here is a bit of Halloween for inspiration this week for all of your Halloween preparations! Hope to see you Wednesday!

Time To Scrap

Wednesday is almost upon us! We are scrapping
this week.

Don't you just love a good hayride? I've never been on one with a truck pulling it where you could carry mugs of something hot in your lap like these people but I have been on enough hayrides to know how much fun they are! What is one of your favorite fall memories? How does that inspire you? We can scrap fall memories or make something else fall to remind us.

Hope to see you! Stay warm and dry!

And Fall Is Here

It was 80 yesterday and today it's fall! Just like that! BAM!

We are scrapping this week same time same place. Here is the weekly inspiration piece. A scene from Pottery Barn. Still some green but the colors are clearly starting to turn.

Ok so this week I would like to issue a scrap challenge. Whatever scraps are sitting on your workspace from this last week(I will clean mine off sorting the giant box today). Use those scraps to create a card or layout. Only scraps, you can add card stock for the background and once the base is built you can add one embellishment from your stash!

Hope to see you Wednesday!

Scrapping Wed. Here We Come!

We are scrapping again this week. Since it seems like fall hit this weekend with a little moisture I thought this inspiration piece is was just perfect!

Hope to see everyone Wed. Evening!

Only Inspiration this week!

Found this picture at the Where Women Create website. Just fell in love! Hopefully this will inspire.

No scrapping this Wed. the Chicago Craft Collective is meeting at the store and I'm working so hopefully I will see everyone the following Wednesday and you will have been totally inspired by this photo! Have a great week! Make pretty things!

Lets get BRIGHT

We are scrapping this Wednesday! And we are going to be using BRIGHT BRIGHT HAPPY COLORS! Here is a picture to inspire you. If not with color then check out the geometric patterns or the cool flowers that splash of black. Lets see what we can do with this piece! See you Wednesday!

HELLO HELLO!

We are scrappin' this week. Instead of a game or baggie challenge though we will do another inspiration challenge. It's hot and summer outside finally so why not consider the beach? I love this photo it's very inspiring! Have at it come up with something amazing!

We are scrapping Wed.

We are scrapping this week. Be sure to check out the previous post for this weeks challenge if you wish to participate.

Scrap Challenge Wednesday

Ok DIANNE had a FABULOUS IDEA! Next Wed we are going to do a Challenge! Here is the deal. Each person that wants to play makes up a Baggie of items from paper to embellishments. We then switch and create something with a baggie that is not their own! This sounds like fun and we will have a bit of time to prepare between now and next week! Ok back to our regularly scheduled silence until Monday's inspiration piece!
