THE MOMENT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR....

Drum roll please...........................................................................................
Kel and are absolutely beside ourselves that we received our very first sponsor. This is a product that Kel, Dawn, Pa and I can't live without (yes I made Pa buy it and he LOVES it). We use this all the time. Without further ado, we would like to give a big thanks to Rick over at PhotoElf! We contacted Rick to see if he would be willing to give us a copy of his awesome software program and within 10 minutes emailed us back with a big YES! We have had the software for about a week now!! Thanks again Rick! !! Ladies please go on over to Rick's website and check it out for yourselves, www.photoelf.com. This software is amazing, it allows you to edit your pictures, add special affects, crop your pictures and the BEST feature ever is the printing. It allows you to arrange your pictures on the paper so you don't waste any paper!! We love it!!



This program is worth $40.00!! So we thought we should make this a true challenge! So Kel and I have come up with the following challenge:

1) This is going to be a 12 x 12 layout and you have to use 3 photos on the layout. We thought it would be easier if we gave you a few themes to work from so we chose the following: Sights of Summer, Fall Frolic and Winter Wonders. This way if you have any pics from the summer, fall or winter you want to get done here is your chance.

2) You have to be a follower

3) You have to post our awesome blog candy on your blog (of course if you have one, if you don't no worries).

4) Deadline for the project is November 27th by 9:00 est.


5) Of course HAVE FUN!!!


Kel and I will pick the winner out of our very famous hat and thought this is such a huge prize we would video tape it and have some fun with it (can you tell we are excited about our sponsor??)

WOW WEEK, Day 3

Here is a GORGEOUS card from our friend Rhonda at bumblebee creations This very talented gal sent this over for our challenge. And, this is what she had to say have to say " it is a toss up for me between Autumn and Spring--but since it is almost Autumn now, I went with that one!! The crisp air--somehow always seems fresher this time of the year-I love the idea of the corn mazes and pumpkins, squash and apples from this season too!I made a card-using mostly SU papers and ribbon, and the image actually came from a "Heartwarming Vintage Booklet " made by Crafty Secrets. I added the white gel pen dots to my square punch outs-even before I decided to use the ribbon--I love it when it comes together like that! (by accident)!! I also added a few punched out branches from my Martha stewart punch.'

BUTTONS AND BOWS WEEK, Day 4

Here is an awesome two page 12x12 layout from AbusyBee for our buttons and bows challenge. Carri has entered the same layout into a few other challenges too, go check out her site and see :)

" I used the Wild Card Cartridge for the button frame and the large buttons! All the rest is from my stash! This will be the last time I do that frame!! It took me forever to bling it up!! I used brads, eyelets, string, hemp, real buttons, and gems! "

WELCOME

Laurie's Prize Page Map Challenge

I have finished my challenge, in the nick of time. I used The Paper Pups Cartridge to cut out all my circles. I used some left over dog paper that i had and used on the side piece going down and the two little pieces. I had a chipboard tag that I covered with just plain white paper did my journal on. I inked most of my edges. The title is orange letters and I traced with a blue glitter pen to make the letters pop!!
