First ScrapNgal Challenge
I know there are oodles and oodles of creativity out there just itching to get out. Let those creative juices run free! In honor of our first ever layout challenge, ScrapNfonts is offering you DB Geo Deco - Solid for free, but we want to see what you can make from it. Any and all projects using this DoodleBat are welcome! Please post them to the ScrapNfonts idea gallery by Monday, July 13th for a chance to win a gift certificate to ScrapNfonts.
I thought I'd take a stab at this challenge myself and this is what I came up with.
I started with the background paper. I used Geo Deco "s" and "y" to make the repeating damask background. Then I used "r" for the little circle frame. I had a lot of fun with it!

Reasons to celebrate
The Fourth of July is classified as a time to celebrate with bells and whistles, lights and explosions, fanfare of all kinds, and it sure is fun! There's always something to look forward to on a holiday like this.
When the holiday is over and I go back to the daily grind, I tend to get into ruts and only look forward to the next "big celebration" as a time for fun. Lately I've been re-evaluating and realizing how many little things every day I have to celebrate: when I try a new recipe and it turns out better than expected, waking up in the morning and realizing I can lay in bed for another half hour, seeing the sweet moments between my husband and daughter, my health, my freedom... The list could go on and on.
The layouts featured today celebrate those little moments. The first is by Jaleese, using SNF Jasper Hand, in the Parade of Products today.
The next layout is by Rani and it uses LDJ Go All Out and DB Brush Bursts, also both in the Parade today.
Thanks for visiting! Have a fabulous Fourth of July holiday weekend!

Patriotic Freebie
A big slice of American
What's a fourth of July without a good barbecue, or some cold popsicles? Boy, am I glad that so many holidays are defined by the food we eat. I look forward to certain holidays just for the food! They say that some people eat to live and some live to eat. Well, I'm definitely one of the "live to eat" kind, and perhaps that's a quality that many consider patriotic. As American as apple pie? Yes, please!
Keela Fox is the design team member featured today with this great layout about one of my favorite topics: food! Not just any kind of food, but ice cream!
The ScrapNfonts products she used are on sale today during the Parade of Products (all food related, I might add). They are: LD Kiss the Cook, TXT Soda Shoppe, DB Picnic Party and DB Food Fun.Other credits: By Miss Mint at Peppermint Creative--Sk8r Boy Papers/Elements, Curled Frames, Wild Weekend Coordinated Kit and Rainbow Joy Elements

How do you play?
It's obvious what Regina Easter does when she has time to play! She whips out her paper, her cutting machines, her sewing machine, and her miles of creativity. I love seeing what new projects she comes up with. Using DB Kapow for the title and LD Little Piggy for text, both on sale Tuesday during ScrapNfonts Parade of Products, she came up with this clever card.
I LOVE the details she puts into her projects. She also used DB Bugs for the mosquito. Check out those little jewel eyes and the raised body.
And the stitching, button, and hemp bow? So cute!
A card like this would sure make my day if I was feeling a little under the weather! Thanks for sharing your talent, Regina.Sunday, June 28, 2009
My favorite photo
Do you have certain photos that you just love and can use them over and over again? I took a photo 4 years ago just after my niece climbed on top of my husband in a hammock at my family's cabin. It was at our family's 4th of July BBQ, and just looking at it I can imagine the smell of the grill, the warmth of the air, and the sound of the lake water lapping at the shore. It was such a sweet moment. I think I've used this photo in at least four different projects around my house.
To me, this picture is the epitome of summertime, family, picnics and the 4th of July. I love it and couldn't resist using it in this layout.
The scrapNfonts product used in this layout are in the Parade of Products and on sale today. The products I used are: Post Stamp Brushes, Post Master Brushes, TXT Delicate Script, and the Summertime Word art (free through Tuesday).Other credits: Retro Pop background papers from Letteringdelights, Favreau tattered photo overlays from Catscrap.
Thanks for looking!

DoodleBat Lovin'
It's amazing to me how many fabulous things can be done with DoodleBats! The fact that they can be scaled to any size because they are a font makes them tremendously versatile. I've been super impressed with some of these submissions to the ScrapNfonts idea gallery, I just wanted to share:
This bear card is by Virginia from KS. Another bonus to DoodleBats being fonts is that they work in several scrapbooking cutting machines, which is what it looks like was used for this bear from DB Animal Occasion. Find out how to do this here.
DoodleBats can also be an oh so subtle background, like in this LO by Britta using DB Dainty Swirl.
I think this card is adorable by Teri Berrios using DB Dress Up for the shape of the dress.
Here's another LO using a DoodleBat as the main image frame by Keela Fox. (DB Woodsy Journal)
Regina Easter is a fabulous crafter, and here she uses a DB as a tag, adding her own color and darling details. (DB Christmas Fun Doodles)Find more inspiration for using DoodleBats in the ScrapNfonts idea gallery, and shop for DoodleBats here.
Congratulations, Amy!

Ready for Easter?
The annual Easter Egg Hunt at my in-laws' is a BIG deal. Not just for the kiddies, but for the adults too! Yep, we enjoy two separate hunts with cash prizes for the winners.
Two years ago I victoriously found the coveted "golden egg," valued at $25 compared to the change you might collect from the rest of the eggs hidden among the brush. Unfortunately, I lost my champion title last year, so I'm pumped to redeem myself this year.
I'm not the only one who loves to hunt. We've been "training" 14-month-old Alexa how to pull in her share of booty from the kids' hunt. She's been practicing. LOVES the "egg game." Runs to collect eggs and practically hyperventilates from excitement as she races to fill her basket!
So you can understand why I love Design Team member Keela Fox's "Hunting Easter Eggs" layout. Good times.
