Hey Swappers

Hey ladies....i just wanted to check in with a couple updates:
First: join me for a challenge at Ella
Second: we're missing some layouts from last month so if you received any extra (please everyone look again) let me know so we can get them to their rightful home. Thanks!
Third: I will be seeing my mom over Labor Day weekend so if you don't want to pay for shipping get them to her by then. (that includes your extra kit if you signed up and have it ready)
Fourth: we had a couple mix ups this month so to be fair to everyone from now on you will only receive your kits once your kits have been received. Thanks for being understanding about this.
Fifth: please write on the kit who it is to and who it is from so we can avoid another mix-up.
Sixth: make sure you check what is up next and make sure you have signed up:
*****1) Back to School
*****2) Fall
*****3) Thanksgiving/Halloween
*****4) Family
***The same guidelines from all the past kits apply
Sixth: you all have been doing a great job so keep up the hard work!!

Jazzed Up

I bought this baby outfit on sale a while back and decided to jazz it up to give it to a friends who was expecting a baby girl. I took scrap fabric pieces and twisted them while rolling them into a wheel to make the roses. It was super easy and turned out super cute and original...and don't tell anyone-but it was cheap with a boutique look! I also made her a headband to match (thanks Amber for the suggestion).

Ella Love

Hey scrappin' ladies, check out my blog post over at Ella...jump on the love wagon and submit! You might just be my new love!

Extra Layout Swap

Okay ladies, the same rules apply but you can do any theme you want. We will have a total of 8 swappers so have fun with it...since you won't have to make as many. When they are all sent out we will have a private vote via e-mail to me on who's layout you found most inspiring and they will receive a prize from me (I am excluded in this). Thanks for taking the challenge ladies.
Extra Swap Participants:
Liz
Amber Hoskins
DeDe
Sheena
Aislinn
Kira
Jerrica
Stephanie
Happy Scrappin!

Swappers Update...

Okay girls....I cannot wait to see what you have done!! My mom is coming this way on June 12th so if you don't want to have to pay to send it-you can get it done a week early and send it with her.

Also, If you want to do the extra swap let me know, here are the details:
**It will be due in November, a month before our last page is due.
**You can turn it in before then, just not after.
**It can be any theme or layout of your choice-but it still has to have all the same things (ribbon, paper, embellishments, title, journaling, ect)
**I have to know if you want to do it by June 19th, everyone I have then that is signed up will be all we will take to do it and I will post then how many total.
**Like I said this is an extra layout-so there is no pressure to do it!! I will be doing a contest with it though if everyone is game (it makes it more fun, right?). Anyways, I will be giving a prize for the top choice layout. Everyone who participated will get a vote (e-mailed to me) that I will tally and see who got the most votes (no worries I will keep your voting to myself). The person with the most votes will get a prize package from me :0)

Okay...so let me know what you think: if you want to do it, and how you feel about doing a contest.
Happy scrappin!!

Finished Swap Page!!!

Sheena sent me one of her finished scrap book pages and I would have to agree with her....I too loved the way it turned out! Keep on sending in those finished pages-I love to see what you all have done with them and if you have put your own spin on it (I never was all that great at doing what others tell me to or following the rules-so I am giving you permission to change up the pages to fit your needs!!). Did any of you want to participate in another free for all swap-just one month (we can decide which one & any theme you want?)...let me know if you do? I also wanted to tell you all about my new guest blog post at Ella that I think you should check out....you might just be my new love ;0).

Swappers...

I just wanted to let you all know that I only have 6 people that have told me the theme they are doing...when you know either jot me an e-mail or post it on here.
June Swap: due June 19th and the options are Fathers Day/Summer/4th of July/Birthday
I don't have anyone signed up for birthday so please take the challenge...I wanna see a couple of each theme!!!
I also wanted to know if any of you would be interested in doing a bonus swap...theme of your choice (additional to the 4 swaps). Let me know!!
BTW...if you want to send any photos of your complete pages I will post them on here so people can see what you have done with them!! Hope you are all getting ready for the upcoming swap...I can't wait to see what you come up with!!
