Memorable Seasons Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Memorable Seasons blog hop!  

You should have begun the hop on the Memorable Seasons blog!  You continue through all of the blogs of the design team members.  You just might see a sneak peek of our new September kits, but you will also see what we created during our Members Challenge Us Crop!

Leave a comment on the MS blog for a chance to win a prize that will be drawn at the end of the hop.  The blog hop runs from Friday, August 31st through Monday, September 3rd.  You'll want to stop by the forum every day, but especially on September 4th, because we'll be revealing our September kits!  The winner of the blog hop will be revealed on the MS blog on September 4th too!  You should also know that on Tuesdays throughout September you will find challenges posted in our forum, and on Thursdays you will find the challenge listed on the blog.  Be sure to stop by and catch up on what's been going on!

So . . . . here's what I have for you today!  I love Memorable Seasons, and I love all of the wonderful friends that I've made on the site!  I'm kinda a rebel, so instead of posting just a sneak peek, I'm just posting a full look at a card that I made with my new September DT kit!  I want YOU to know that I am thankful for YOU!  Each and every one of YOU!  ♥

Here's a layout that I created for the VERY FUN Members Challenge Us Crop!  This layout was for Patricia's no peeking challenge!  We were to randomly pick three pieces of patterned paper and create a layout with whatever we picked!  My pick was fabulous!  I picked a sheet of My Mind's Eye, Jillibean Soup, and Hambly!  The colors all went together very well!

Be sure to leave a comment letting me know that you stopped by!  You never know, I just might send a little goodie to someone after this blog hop!  

Continue on with the HOP!  Enjoy!

August DT kit at Memorable Seasons!

Here are my August design team projects for Memorable Seasons!  I got to work with Crate Paper Little Bo Peep!  At first, I wasn't too excited about working with a baby collection, because I'm not crazy about pastels, but then I got the kit, and I mean, come on!  It's Crate Paper!  I love Crate Paper!  Plus, I have two girls, so I CAN work with pastels you know!  Here's what I created.

This is Emily!  Isn't she adorable!?!

OK, so now I have a baby card on hand.  My cousin's daughter is having a baby!  I know who I'm sending this to!  :)

This is Jessica on her first Easter!  She won that BIG basket!  This is a scraplift of Megan, who is the MS MOTM (member of the month).  It was so much fun going through her gallery to pick out a layout to scraplift!

Stop by Memorable Seasons!  There are SO MANY awesome CHA goodies on preorder for 25% off!

Thanks for stopping by!

Layouts, Layouts, Layouts!

I've been having FUN creating lately!  I'm not lacking creative mojo . . . I'm just lacking TIME!  I'm having fun at Memorable Seasons with challenges and issuing challenges, etc.  It keeps me creative, and that I love! ♥  Stop by and play along!  From top to bottom, the layouts are based on:  a sketch by Liz, a challenge by Heather, a scraplift of Patricia (who is our member of the month), and a challenge by Donna!  The challenges are fun and always inspiring!

Thanks for stopping by!

Guess what!?!

I'm on the Memorable Seasons Design Team!  ☺

I'm featured at Simple Stories!

My Simple Stories Summer Fresh work is featured on the Simple Stories blog!  How cool is that!?!  :)  Thanks Simple Stories!  LOVE your collections!  ♥

More Simple Stories Summer Fresh

I created a lot with my Simple Stories Summer Fresh June guest DT kit that I got from Memorable Seaons!  Here's more!

I made this card for my dad for Father's Day.  Just kept it clean and simple!

I wanted to use a fun Stampin' Up stamp I got recently from the flea market I went to, so I inked it up and put it on a card.  Fan mail . . . cracks me up!

You can never have too many birthday cards, so I made one!  I think it's cute!

This was for a doodling challenge at Memorable Seasons.  I did all of the doodling freehand!  I love the way it turned out!  I just kept turning the page and adding more.  It was fun!

This was for a challenge to deviate from the norm.  Well, I normally buy a ton of stamps and then I don't use them.  So, on this layout, I stamped!  A lot!  Cute, huh!?!  I used a bunch of stamps.

Anyway, I created A LOT with my kit!  It was fun!  Thanks for having me Memorable Seasons!  As always, thanks for stopping by!

Simple Stories Summer Fresh Layouts

I'm having a lot of fun with my Simple Stories Summer Fresh kit from Memorable Seasons.  I'm the June guest designer at Memorable Seasons.  I even got to issue a LSS (last scrapper standing challenge)!  :)

This is my LSS challenge layout example.  My challenge was borders and/or banners.  I punched the borders with my Martha Stewart border punch, then I distressed them, crumbled them, and then sewed them down.  I think they look like fabric, and I love it!

I created this layout for a red/blue/yellow LSS challenge!  I love this layout!  What else can I say!?!  :)

This is another layout I created for a challenge that I issued.  My challenge was to stamp with bubble wrap!  I love bubble wrap!  I stamped twice . . . once for a tone on tone look, and then again on the denim paper.  Isn't this a fun layout?  

This is a page I created for a scraplift challenge.  Once again . . . loving this layout!  I really have enjoyed using the Summer Fresh collection!

I hope you get some creative time today!  Thanks for stopping by!

June Guest Designer at Memorable Seasons!

I am very excited to be the June Guest Designer at Memorable Seasons!  I got an awesome Simple Stories Summer Fresh kit to work with!  I have created A LOT with the kit already, but I'm just going to show you these two projects for now.  Here's a layout I created.

I love finding the crazy self-portraits that Emily and Jessica take on my camera!  They always make me laugh!  This is typical Emily and Jessica, and I love it!  I did a lot of angles and crazy sewing on this page to go with the CRAZY theme!  I also detail cut a camera from an Amy Tangerine Sketchbook paper!  I love that little detail!  The stamps I used are by Tim Holtz for Stamper's Anonymous.

This is a card I created with the collection.  I bought some fabulous May Arts ribbon, and I just had to feature it on my card!  You can find awesome products at great prices in the Memorable Seasons online store.  That's where I buy almost everything that I use when I scrapbook!

Stay tuned for a lot more projects using my kit!  Thanks for stopping by!
