Crafty fun and a New Challenge Blog

Lately, it seems to me I begin my posts with it has been some time since my last post!
Summer is still in full force here in my neck of the woods.
So hard to stay inside while the sun is still shining :)

Just wanted to share a couple of projects that I have been into when the sun goes down.

A new Challenge Blog out there called "Recipe Card Challenge" looks like it is going to be alot of fun!
They are now looking to put together a Design Team.
If you are interested, there is still time to submit your work for consideration.
They also have a store if you find you are short on supplies Scrapbook Store at your Door.

With requests from my son's wives for their husbands favorite dishes, I hope this will become a favorite book that feeds the soul as well as the body.

My first Recipe layout is one of my favorite Summer Salads.
A hybrid layout created with digital elements from Scrap Artist.com

Also going to use this in the "Summer use your Stash Challenge" hosted on the "Sisterhood of Scrap Forum"


Next is my Christmas in July project, also hosted on the "Sisterhood of Scrap" Forum .
My project is a Christmas Canvas.

Inspired by a button wreath decoration submitted by Ali MacDonald .
I thought it would be a great way to use up some of those buttons I have had sitting around for awhile.

Well that's it for today , hope you all are having a great summer and lots of Crafty fun !!

Thanks for stopping by my World :) .

Hybrid Holiday Planner

I can now share my hybrid Project created as an example for the Holiday Party at DragonFlaireStudios.

They released "The Scrapper's Holiday Planner" at their Holiday Party last night.

What fun I had with this project....so many options for creating with this Digital Kit.

I decided on a Holiday Travel Planner as a gift for my Mother,

She does alot of traveling during the Holiday season ...this planner will help her to keep all her travel information,personal and holiday events in order.

I used a Photo Album from the Dollar Store...altered it to suit my needs.

All dividers are pockets that she can use to store here tickets,receipts,etc.

Look for the release of this kit at DragonFlaire Studio"s Boutique
