Since we're starting our Weekly Challenge Blog in the middle of the week - to help us kick off our 5-Year Big Birthday Bash on October 1st, we're going to start with a super-easy challenge for this week - just a quick post and you'll be entered into the drawing for the prize!
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Post a comment telling me a few things about you as a scrapbooker:
1.) What inspires you?
2.) Which scrapbooking manufacturer is your favorite?
3.) Which scrapbooking products do you LOVE to use on a layout?
THE PRIZE: A 12"x12" Double Deck Paper Pad from Cosmo Cricket, the Patterned Paper Collections of Boyfriend and Earth Love. (48 sheets) (I LOVE both of these paper lines!)
The deadline to post your comment is midnight on Sunday, October 4th. We'll announce the winner on Monday!
My inspiration usually comes from the photos themselves or from some product that I am anxious to use. My favorite stuff is always American crafts because I love the bright colors. I love using flowers, brads, buttons, and ink. Thanks for the weekly challenge blog. I think this will be fun!

My biggest inspiration to scrap is challenges. I'm so glad you're doing this!! My favorite line is October Afternoon. I have to say what I always use is cardstock with my die cutters and punches. Many of my layouts are only PP, CS and pics.

ReplyDelete1) I get inspiration all around me. Sometimes very unusual things and times to even think scrapbooking. Like seeing a worn out sticker on an old cart in a store the shape interested me and the writing.
2) My favorite line....I just can't pick one I love them all. I am an equal opportunity scrapper. Ever since I made what I thought was a poor purchase on some ugly paper I forced myself to use it and found some of the layouts as favorites...so there are no paper that can't be used in the right way.
3) I love using so many different things on layouts..rub-ons, stamps, ribbon, buttons,chipboard, I find myself looking at unusual things now that I would have never looked at before.
1. I'm inspired by photos, great pp, and sketches - all 3 together - and watch out!

1) Sketches and designs from various creative blogs give me ideas for scrapping, but my family are the ones who inspire me to scrapbook.
ReplyDelete2) Tough one - I like KI, BG, Scenic Route (*sob*), just to name a few! (I like variety, so it's hard to name just one!)
3) Lately, I'm loving using bling, buttons, and brads on my pages. (I could say thickers too, but that would mess up the alliteration.) ;)
Happy Bday, TSR - just took advantage of your Bday sale - woohoo!
1. What inspires me? textures. My baby attempting a new skill. My 3 year old's way of explaining the world around her and always paper - the smell, the colors, and the textures.
ReplyDelete2. My favorite paper is Cosmo Cricket.
Everything they do is so versatile and playful. The colors are always so vibrant.
3. My favorite products to use - I like to look within a paper collection and see what I can cut out or circle punch out, and then pop dot it as an embellishement.I love using felt as borders. I like to enhance patterned paper designs or chipboard with Stickles. My goal is to have the products bring texture to my scrapbook pages.
Thank you, and Happy birthday !
