Good morning friends! I'm back to with a challenge from Meljen's Designs. I wanted to say card but it isn't. It is a one sided 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" little plaque. We love our Green Bay Packers here so I thought using this sentiment and making it a decoration for our house would be fun!
I used one of Meljen's $1 images called We're #1, colored it in Packer colors (green/yellow), and then pulled out some football-ish paper that I had in my stash to finish the card off. The woven strips of paper are not all the exact size as I wanted to be able to read some of the words and the words are varying sizes. I colored the sentiment with Copics and added green/yellow to the white piece around sentiment. All the stars have Illuminate Smooch (my favorite shimmery product) on them. Lastly, something you can't see very well, the edges of the bottom layer are green on the top/bottom and yellow on the sides. 
So, the challenge this week is 'stars', hence the starts on my project. There have been some changes to the challenges at Meljen's so I'd suggest you go HERE to take a look at them and then HERE to see the challenge itself. Most of all...create and have fun!

Good morning friends! How is your week going? We all had Monday off so it definitely makes for a short week! Thought I'd share another scrapbook page with you. Yes, I love scrapbooking with MyMemories Suite but I think I've said that already! I do have to tell you that I have used the photo templates for the last couple of pages that I've shown you. What they are is layouts that have the photo boxes pre-placed for you so all you have to do is drop in the photos and then add your papers and embellishments. It makes for a speedier page for sure!
So, this page just has a couple of photos from the Rose Bowl game. Our Wisconsin Badgers were playing so we got all decked out in WI clothes (Kyler even had his WI Badger build a 'bear' with him) and went to our friend, Nancy's house. While the Badgers lost it was still very fun to be with Nancy, eat yummy food, and cheer them on!
I've decided this is the year to take more photos, scan old photos in, and get them on paper. It seems digital scrapbooking is going to be the way for me to do it. I hope you are ready to see more layouts!
So, tomorrow I'll have a Meljen's card for you and Friday is Sketches by Carly day so I hope you'll stop back!

Good morning friends! I know many of you are back to work and life today so I hope you have an amazing day. Today is our last day of Christmas break and then it is back to the daily routine.I am going to miss the break. I love being home with Kyler!
Anyway, I thought I'd share a scrapbook page with you. We didn't think we were going to have any snow for Christmas Day, which is so weird in this part of WA state, but late afternoon it starting snow. It was so pretty...big huge flakes. I just had to get a couple of photos of it to add to my Christmas pages.
Just a short little post for you today. Have a wonderful day and I'll see you soon!
Thought of the day:You aren't going to get the butt you want by sitting on the one you have. (Just a little motivation for those who have a weight loss resolution.)
Well, we are starting off the New Year with a bang this year with a new release by Doodle Pantry. Even though I didn't create much in December I still love my Doodle Pantry and am so excited to share this super cute new image with you!
The image I'm showing you today is from the set you can get for FREE just by participating in our challenge which is set to start today at noon. You can see the entire set HERE. Did you notice that the patterned papers that I used for this card are part of the set? Yep, DP makes it easy to have create a perfectly matching card! It is perfect for those of you who have a resolution to be more healthy through exercise in 2012! So cute, so fun! You might want to go see the entire release...we've got some caterpillars hugging, red hot ants and a beautiful hummingbird. Some seriously good stuff!
Thought of the day: Do you make New Year resolutions? Every accomplishment starts with a decision to try. You can do it!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Hopefully this New Year I will get back into posting more often. I know I've been missing you all!
One neat thing I've learned to do in the last week or so is to make cover photos for the new Facebook Timeline. You know, the photo you see at the top of your profile page? Yep, you can replace it with whatever you'd like and since I found a great tutorial to make them using the My Memories software (link and coupon code in my right side bar) I thought I'd try it out. I love how easy and fun it is. I made one for my profile and one for my sis-in-law's profile. Aren't my niece and Nephew just adorable?
I hope you all have an amazing day! See you soon!
