Round 4 Has Begun!

The final round has begun in Just For The Scrap Of It's "So You Think You Can Design?" Contest.
I am so happy to have made it to Round 4. The competition has been great. Each round has been full of fabulous kit by some really talented designers.

Here is my entry - Night Blossoms:


Our challenge was to use the painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh as inspiration. I have always thought the swirly stars in the painting looked like large flowers. I also thought of some of my favorite quotes - one is by Van Gogh - about the night and flowers. I have included these quotes in my word art.
Starry Night has always been a comforting painting for me. I love how the night seems to embrace the town and how nature is shown to be alive, even at night.
I often think of the townspeople and their lives...how peaceful they must be. I imagine their gardens...this helped inspire me to create my kit.
I took my colors from the painting, too.

My kit contains 6 solid papers, 6 patterned papers, 1 quick page, 1 alpha (capital letters, numerals and special characters), 3 bows, 3 ribbons, 3 stitching, 3 frames, 3 gem brads, 3 glitter sprays, 4 word art and 3 flowers.

Make sure you leave some love for all the contestants and download all the great kits and then vote for your favorite.
VOTING HAS CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.
I also have a matching Night Blossoms freebie for you. It contains 4 background papers, 2 flowers, 2 lace, 1 glitter spray and 3 decorative elements.


Thanks for your interest, but this freebie has been retired.

Have a great day!

Round 2!!!!

Round Two of the Just For the Scrap Of It "So You Think You Can Design?" Contest has begun!!!!

Our challenge was to create a boy-themed kit for ages 3-7.
This was hard for me. I have been creating a lot of masculine stuff lately, and I seemed to be burned out....but I'm pretty happy with what I came up with.
Boys love to explore in the backyard and pretend they are looking for wild animals. They also love collecting every kind of creepy-crawly and showing it to Mom! So, I came up with a kit that can capture all of those moments (and not just for boys IMO).

Here is my entry:

I'd love to see your comments, and voting starts TOMORROW! So, download all the freebies and then choose your favorite.
VOTING HAS CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.

I also have this matching freebie for you - Space Explorer.
I think kids all want to be astronauts, too!
This mini kit has 3 papers, 3 rockets, 2 star patches, 1 moon patch and 3 buttons.



Thanks for your interest, but this freebie has been retired.

Watch for matching quick pages in the Just For The Scrap Of It Gallery!

To celebrate my dive back into design contests, I created a matching mini kit.
It uses the same color palette. It has 4 papers, a heart charm, 2 ribbons, 2 bows and a gold brad.
