It’s a Call!!

| cristina

Keep scrolling for the ScrapMatters blog train! 🙂
**************************************************************

I remember last year, after the celebrations for ScrapMatters’ 1st birthday, applying for the CT call. I even created this blog appositely. Well, you know how things went: I wasn’t chosen, but I kept blogging (too much, maybe? 😉 ) and spending a lot of time at SM, and 2 months ago I finally made it in the hybrid CT. 😉 A dream come true!
So it’s with particular fondness that I announce that it’s now time for a new CT call at ScrapMatters:


I can truly say it’s a fantastic team to be part of, so if you love SM even a tiny bit, give it a try!

Now a brief update on me: I haven’t been scrapping this week (crazy week!) and I’m itching now!!! 😉
I celebrated 10 years with DH yesterday.. 😀
And I’m so glad the weekend is near!

New Kits and New Pages!

Jill of Juno Designs has a new kit out and it’s the cutest kit ever!!!!!!

Pure heaven! 😉

There’s lots of new gorgeous kits out today at ScrapMatters; here’s the one I picked up, by ScrapMuss Designs:


It’s such a romantic kit! I wanted to scrap pictures of DH and me, but didn’t have any (those are always the first to get scrapped! 😉 ) so last night we took some pictures. And since there was no special occasion, I just scrapped a page about a normal evening at our house. 😉
I did this for the Roadmap to Scrap challenge at SM, and these were the instructions:

  1. Use a template with an ODD number of photos.
  2. Include at least 2 patterned papers.
  3. Please use at least 3 out of the 5 following items: buttons, ribbons, staples, frames, journal strips or tags.
  4. Show me some shapes that aren’t squares, rectangles or circles.
  5. Add something blue to your page.
  6. Place something on your page that’s obviously upside down. It could be a photo, an element, anything, just be sure we can tell it’s not in it’s original and upright position.
  7. Use an alpha and a font for your title.
  8. Now select everything on your page except the background paper, and shrink it at least 10%.

I’m not so sure I like the selective coloring on the pic.. I don’t know, I just never seem to like b/w picture as much as I like the color version!

It’s 20% off today only! Here’s a page I did with it:
