Memorable Seasons March MOTM: Marie!

Congrats to Marie for being the March Member Of The Month at Memorable Seasons! Marie is such a vital part of our little MS community and we love having her lovely Irish spirit on the boards! Be sure to visit the Memorable Season blog to get to know Marie a little more and also see some of her personal favorite projects. In honor of Marie, the design team each lifted one of Marie's beautiful layouts from her MS gallery.

Here's the layout I lifted...

...and my take on it. I used my Memorable Seasons March Travel Mix-up kit to create it...

(Supplies: Bo Bunny papers; Bazzill cardstock; Basic Grey and Dream Street alphas; The Paper Co vellum; Glitz journaling card; Making Memories tiny alphas; Joann photo corners; Studio Calico wood veneers; unknown ribbon, lock and key embellie and game card; Sakura pen.)

My Sketch World Sketchathon Creations

During February, My Sketch World had their Sketchathon in honor of their 7th anniversary. I participated in the games and by completing a few of the sketches...namely, all the card sketches. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to complete any of the layout challenges but I really need to stock up on greeting cards and I had a ton of old scraps to use. So focusing on the card sketches was perfect for me. Here are the cards I created...

Well, we have a winner folks!

Hi everyone! Just popping in real quick to announce the winner of my Birds Of A Feather celebratory RAK! I gave everyone an entry for (1) a comment, (2) being a follower and (3) being a member of Birds Of A Feather. I listed all the entries on an Excel spreadsheet in the order in which comments were left on the blog. In total there were 49 entries! So Random.org picked the winner...

...and lucky number 20 is TRICIA! Please email me at msmith912(AT)gmail(DOT)com with your mailing address and I'll get your RAK out to you this week!

Thanks everyone for your support and I hope you'll continue to check back for more inspiration and possibly some more RAKs!

Just My Type! (LSS Challenge #4)

Letters, Fonts and Words...Oh My! Wherever you turn nowadays, typography seems to be front and center as "art." Subway art, chalkboard art...it's everywhere. And with so many cool fonts out there, why shouldn't it be?

So here's this week's challenge I'm issuing for the Last Scrapper Standing Contest at Memorable Seasons - create a layout in which typography is front and center. Meaning, the typography must be a major design element on your page.

Here's my example I created using my February Fancy Pants Love Note kit. I decided to go with the card featuring the alphabet that has "I {HEART} U" embedded in it. The alphabet serves as the big design feature on my page next to my photo and also the "I {HEART} U" serves as the title of my page.

(Supplies: Bazzill cardstock; Fancy Pants papers; Heidi Swapp and unknown chipboard alphas and hearts; Studio Calico wood veneer and Mr. Huey’s mist; miscellaneous doily, sequins, ribbon and date stamp; Crafters Workshop template; Signo pen, Close To My Heart and StazOn ink.)

And then I thought I'd also remind you of this layout I created for my two-page sketch tutorial back in December. On this layout, I used a variety of different alphas and embellished each word for creative title treatment; when I say “embellished” I mean that used brown Thickers for the word “brown”, covered the word “paper” with mulberry paper, put a package sticker behind the word “package”, etc.

(Supplies: Bazzill and American Crafts cardstock; Jillibean Soup papers; American Crafts, Heidi Swapp and Cricut alphas; KI Memories jelly embellishments; The Paper Co mulberry paper; Doodlebug brads; Die Cuts With A View sticker; Studio Calico wood veneers; Jillibean Soup and Divine twine; Jillibean Soup tiny alphas; StazOn ink; Sharpie marker.)

I am so excited to see what you all create! Hopefully, you'll be able to find that right font, word or letter that screams to you, "That's just my type!"

To enter this challenge, please...

• Upload your NEW layout to the gallery and link it back to the Challenge #4 thread in the Last Scrapper Standing forum.
• Have your layout posted by 03/06/13 at 11:59PM your local time.
