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?

Weekly Challenge - July 17 to July 23

Use this color palette for this weeks challenge:

Melanie's Box

Jeri's Challenge: I sorta strayed from the color palette. I have the blue and brown in it, but since I fell in love with this paper pack, I had to use it.

Dollar Tree Wall Plaques that I used to alter

Glue stick, sanding tool, scrapbook paper and chalk are the supplies I used.

Alice's Challenge : I too added an additional color to the weekly challenge!

Welcome to JeM!

Who are we? The "Je" is for Jeri. The "M" is for Melanie. We are friends, creators, scrapbookers and collectors of TOO MUCH STUFF! Paper crafting stuff, that is.

So why the blog? Duh! As an avenue to inspiration, and a kick-in-the-butt to use up our stuff. We hope that by posting challenges, we will not only stick to our (glue) guns and keep creating, but we will inspire others like ourselves. You know, others like you, who look around your crafting space and think, "Where do I begin?!"

So, let's go! We'll post different challenges monthly on each of our pages. (Hold us to this, please. We're busy moms too!)

Your job is to take those challenges and run with it. It doesn't have to be scrapbooking - just be creative in the media of your choosing!

We have also included a Recipe page, because I dont know about you, but we are always looking for something delicious to cook for our family. Post your favorite recipes, or a recipe that you want to try, and make sure you submit a picture with it too because we want to drool!

And most importantly, send us your photos please! We'll post 'em as proof that you got something creative done! Then, of course, feel free to pat yourself on the back. Good job!
