CT Contest Final Week

Round 4 of the Battle of the CTs over at DigiScrap Addicts is now complete and open for voting! I can hardly believe a month has already passed and we're winding this competition down - it has been so much fun!! My team and I are keeping our fingers crossed that we do really well in the voting this week and we can't wait to see who wins the big prize!

This week, our challenge was titled "Inspiration Found." Our task was to choose two layouts from our battle team mates and scraplift them both, in some way. So, we all got together and chose the team mates we each wanted to scraplift and got to work! Our common theme this week was the kit we used, which was a brand new release from Trixie Scraps this week in her August grab bag at Scrap Matters! I think this was our best week, yet - the layouts are all absolutely stunning! But, I'll let you be the judge, here is a look at each of them!



For the final, and probably most important week, I am again asking, will you please vote for us?? Voting can be found HERE and our team name is Trixie's Scrap Stars. You don't need to be a member of DSA in order to vote, however, if you voted last week (Thanks!), you may need to clear your internet cookies before you can vote this week. We REALLY, REALLY appreciate your votes throughout this competition - it means a lot to us!!

To thank you for voting for us this week, I have the final part of the weekly freebie kit Trixie Scraps designed, as well as a recap of the previous three weeks! You can now see the whole kit revealed and it is called "You're a Star" - isn't it just divalicious?! This is your last chance to download all four parts, as the freebie links will be taken down later this week - don't delay!!

Thanks again for supporting our team - it really does mean a lot to us! Enjoy your freebie!



Links have expired. Kit can now be purchased at Scrap Matters.

Contest and a Sneak Peak

I'm going to start this post by asking for your help. Apparently, I have a thing for scrapping contests. Along with finishing up the CT contest at DSA this week, I've also started an individual scrapping contest at Iinspiration Lane. We were given a mini kit to create two LO's with and then people get to vote for their faves. The top 25 will move on to the next round. Now's the part where you come in! If you could head over here: http://www.inspiration-lane.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=2734 and vote for lindseylou I would REALLY love it!! You can vote twice. If you're not a member of IL, you can email your vote by clicking on the email icon under Jen Yurko's avatar. Thanks a bunch!

Here are the two LO's I've made:

Now, on to the sneak peek!! This one's for Trixie Scraps newest product, which I have used and which is AMAZING!!

Trixie Scraps is also hosting a special birthday speed scrap:

CT Contest Week 3

Round 3 of the Battle of the CTs over at DigiScrap Addicts is now complete and open for voting! Wow, this battle is going by so fast! This round was fun, but a real challenge. Round 3 was titled "Scrap By Numbers." Each team had to come up with a formula to scrap by, using the numbers 1-10. Each number corresponded with the number of a certain item which had to be used on the page. We were having such a hard time coming up with a list, we had Trixie Scraps herself challenge us with a list... after a couple tweaks, we had the perfect formula! Our team decided on a theme of "10 Things I Love About ..." and then we could each choose our subject. Here was the formula we each followed:

10 fonts
9 buttons
8 pieces of stitching
7 flowers
6 papers
5 strings
4 ribbons
3 glitter splats
2 alphas
1 photo

And, here is a look at each of our layouts - the team did AWESOME this week!! We're all really proud of taking on this challenge and doing so well at it!



Even Trixie got in the act this week and did a "sidelines" layout, to show her support for the challenge! It doesn't count for the voting, but here is a look at her layout, too!



Once again, we are asking - will you please vote for us?? Voting can be found HERE and our team name is Trixie's Scrap Stars. You don't need to be a member of DSA in order to vote, however, if you voted last week (Thanks!), you may need to clear your internet cookies before you can vote this week. And of course, to thank you for voting for us this week, I have the third part of the new freebie kit Trixie Scraps designed - click on the preview below to download! Thanks so much for supporting our team - it really does mean a lot to us!

CT Contest Week 2

Round 2 of the Battle of the CTs over at DigiScrap Addicts is now complete! This round was so much fun - the task was called "I've Got Rhythm" and our layouts had to have a musical theme - all five of our teams' layouts had to have the same theme, too! So, my team decided to use a Celine Dion song called "If I Could." We each took a verse of the song that we felt applied to us, included the coda somewhere on the page, and scrapped photos of our children. Then, we each wrote some heartfelt journaling to our kids and told them what the verse from the song meant to us. Our team pages came out AWESOME!! Here is a look at each of them:

If interested, you can check out the lyrics to "If I Could" here, and also see a video of Celine performing it here.

Will you please vote for us?? Voting can be found HERE and our team name is Trixie's Scrap Stars. You don't need to be a member of DSA in order to vote, however, if you voted last week (Thanks!), you may need to clear your internet cookies before you can vote this week. And of course, to thank you for voting for us this week, I have the second part of the new freebie kit Trixie Scraps designed - click on the preview below to download! Thanks so much for supporting our team - it means a lot to us!

Did you know that I am competing, along with four other fabulous chicks, in the Battle of the CTs at Digiscrap Addicts? That's right, I am! I am one member of the fab 5 team known as "Trixie's Scrap Stars!" We're having so much fun competing together!

This week, our challenge was to create a white-space layout with a common color theme. We could also optionally choose a common page theme, as well. So, the girls and I got together and we decided to use Trixie Scraps' mini kit, Sarah's Song, for our layouts. We also decided to do a common theme and we all put together an "ABC About Me" page - they turned out GREAT!! Here's a look at each of our layouts:
