page share

So, I didn't make it to round 4 in the Design Star competition, but I was happy with how far I did get. Here is a page I made using my kit from rounds 2 and 3:



There are some very fun kits in round 4 from those that made it through, and they're still free! You can grab them here (you do need to be registered and signed in to download).

The challenge for Round 2 of the Design Star contest was to create a paper pack with 5 patterns and 3 solids. Here is my entry:

black friday

Welcome to another ScrapMatters Blog Train! This is stop #5, so if you just got here, Sharon was #4 and you can check her blog out here. I'm out with the crazy masses :) shopping, so I'll have to check out the train when I get home. Also, make sure you stop by ScrapMatters . . . they are having a great sale.



If you spend $10, you get the Comfort & Joy kit free! It is a great kit. . . I used the kit to make some punchable tags to give away today. They are in an easy-to-print .pdf file, so if you want them, the link is below! They are sized to fit a circle punch 1.25" or bigger. I also think it's fun to layer them on bigger cardstock circles or scallops. Then I punch a little hole in them and tie them on gifts. I usually write who the gift is for on the back of the tag. Here they are:




Click on the image or click here if you want to download the tags.

Thanks for stopping by, and make sure you check out Wendy's blog next because she's stop #6!

Happy Black Friday!
