BRAND CENTRAL

This week, use something from one of your favorite brands

(Cosmo Cricket, Basic Grey, etc.)

Then be sure to tell us #1: what brand it is, and #2: which element/s you used.

We want to see what YOU love!

Sandi's Layout - this is made from a kit from Basic Grey.

Jeri's Layout - Our Minds Eye - Addicted to this brand

Pat's Layout - a combination of Kc & Company and Sandy Lion.  She also LOVES her Cinch.  She has made a million books since she has purchased it.

Alice's Layout
" This is the Basic Greys "Out of Stock" line. It can be bought individually but I got mine in a pre-bundled pack. The only thing not in the pack was the letters I used. And they were made using my favorite tool - the Cricut! I had fun doing this because it is a little out of the box for me in style. Of course, had to add some bling to their chipboard piece. "

Weekly Challenge September 18 - September 24

Im in the mood for another sketch.  Have fun!

Changed Forever

Express how something in your life changed you forever,

much like America has changed since 9/11/01.

Pats Layout with pictures of the Towers taken 1976.

My September 11th baby has changed my outlook of such a horrible date.  When I found out my due date with her was the 14th, the only thing I remember saying is that I hoped she wasnt born on the 11th.  Sure enough with 6 minutes to midnight she was born on the 11th.  She was meant to be born on this day to give me hope that there is good out there.  She is truly an angel. And to quote another mother who had a 9/11 baby--thank you for giving me a ray of sunshine on such a dark day.  Happy 7th Birthday Rachel.  (from Jeri)

Weekly Challenge August 28 - September 3

Happiness

I love this layout!   You can either (a) copy this layout (b) do something that makes you happy or (c) all of the above.  I want to see some pictures!!!

What Inspires You?

This week, think about what it is that gets you going.

Scrap it. Journal it. Take a photo of it. Anything.

Then send it to:  weeklyjem@yahoo.com

HAVE FUN!

Weekly Challenge; August 14 to August 20

I dont know about you, but I am highly anticipating Fall.  With it comes cooler temperatures and beautiful colors.  Instead of the traditional fall colors that we are used to, I decided to find a different kind of Fall Palette.  This is from the Pantone Color Institute, the Fashion Color Report of 2011.  Do your challenge with some or all of these colors:

WC - August 8th through 13th

STREAMLINE

This week, have your project flow along a line. It doesn't have to be a scrapbook page either. Below, I've posted a layout as an example.

I love how the elements on the page stay on a line.  Try it!

Alice's challenge

WC - July 24th through July 30th

This week, craft something that includes a BIG letter!

Melanie's Challenge

 I started out by painting the edges of a plaque from Craft Warehouse

 Then I cut paper to fit

 I stamped the letters I'd cut using my Cricut

And this is the finished product!
Can you guess what my color scheme will be for my craft room?
