A feature and a reminder!

Hello there!

There are just a few more days to entered but we sure hope you play along, we have two amazing sponsors giving away prizes!


Die Cuts with a View is offering a free paper stack to one of our lucky winners!

DCWV is an industry leader in the scrapbooking and paper crafting market.  They continually strive to create fabulous and fun trend-forward products for all your paper crafting needs.  Whether you are creating a banner for a party, scrapbooking summer adventures, sewing a keepsake bag, or putting together a teacher appreciation gift, they've got you covered!

May Arts Ribbon is also sponsoring this challenge, offering 2 spools of ribbon to our second winner!

May Arts was founded in the early 1980’s in Riverside, Connecticut. The original products were high-end silk flowers imported from Taiwan, which were decorated using quality ribbons. The decorative ribbons proved so popular among customers that the business gradually evolved into a dedicated ribbon wholesaler.

We are dedicated to carrying on this same tradition by offering high quality products at competitive prices. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is always happy to answer your questions or to assist you in placing your order.

For this challenge we have a guest designer joining us. Please join me in welcoming Stacia Brandt!! 

I will let Stacia tell you a bit about herself....

"My name is Stacia Brandt and I’ve been a not-so-secret scrapbooker for a dozen years, loving everything that scrapping offers. My interests have led me to expand into mixed media as well and I’m enjoying the chance to develop new skills. 

I am the mother of two children, daughter Alyson, 11, and son Rilen, 2 as well as a Pit Bull Terrier named Roxy. My husband, Keith, and I will soon be celebrating our third wedding anniversary. We live in scenic Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where I’m a happy SAHM and home business entrepreneur. Scrapbooking is my passion but I enjoy a variety of crafts, love to read and am a sports fan – especially hockey, football and racing.
I’m a published designer with design team experience and am currently a member of the CreativeTeam for CREATE magazine."

Here is Stacia's layout based on our sketch.

Thank you for joining us Stacia, we just love your page! You can visit Stacia's blog here.

Please join me in welcoming our guest Andrea Jones, Andrea won our December 1st GDT challenge!!

I will let Andrea tell you a bit about herself:

"I'm Andrea and I live on a small island in the Florida Keys with the most amazing husband on the planet and the most adorable 3 year old son whose ever existed. Since I was 16, I worked in many different fields including: hairstyling, veterinarian technician, and most recently a fire fighter.  When I had my adorable son in March 2011, my husband and I decided that I would stay home.  I've picked up many hobbies and I'm constantly trying new things.  I am passionate about updating our home  in my own DIY kind of style and I'm learning and mastering our collection of power tools through the process. In 2012, I began scrapbooking with the purchase of my Silhouette Cameo.  I love all the pretty patterned papers and perfect embellishments.  If I had to name my scrapbooking style, the only word that comes to mind is LAYERED.  Because I love learning new techniques and trends, my style is constantly evolving.   To me, scrapbooking is my form of therapy and I absolutely NEED it everyday! "

Congratulations Andrea, and thank you for joining us!  This is Andrea's gorgeous take on our February 1st sketch challenge!

Let's have a look at our always inspiring DT reveals....
