Cord Scrapbook Studio March Cards

A couple of days ago, I shared my layouts with you that I created with the Echo Park This & That Charming collection for my design team work for Cord Scrapbook Studio. I used the scraps from the layouts to make these cards.

Scrap Your Year: March

It's my turn to host the challenge today at the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog. In response to requests from some of our members, the bloggers at Scrapbook {Express}ions have taken on the challenge of hosting our own monthly sketch challenge called Scrap Your Year! Similar to Project 12, we’ll provide a two-page sketch for you to use with photos from each month.

This is the sketch we will be working with by Becky Fleck from Pagemaps.


Come on over to the blog for all the details. Hope you will join us in this challenge.

Cord Scrapbook Studio March Layouts

This month I worked with the Echo Park This & That Charming collection for my design team work for Cord Scrapbook Studio. Here are the two layouts I created. Both of the photos were taken in Paestum on our recent trip to Italy.

Fascination with Feathers

I've had these feathers from the LYB Winter Twig line for quite some time but never used any. When I saw the Fascination with Feathers challenge at Moxie Fab World, I knew they would be perfect.

My Mind's Eye Sketch Challenges

I recently received some of the new My Mind's Eye papers and embellishments, so I pulled them out to work with this month's sketches. I also pulled out some goodies from other collections that mixed and matched perfectly with the new products.

"Time" Challenge Inspiration

This week's challenge on the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog is to create a layout using the theme "time." My take on this challenge is to scrap about vacation time and the time I spend with my husband. I created this layout using the Little Yellow Bicycle Saturdays Collection with photos from our recent trip to the Amalfi Coast.


We'd love to have you participate in the challenge. Your layouts are due by midnight, Wednesday, March 28th. Check out the blog for complete details.

Artful Delight Sketch Challenge

I decided to play along with Artful Delight's March sketch challenge. Love this great sketch.

And here is my layout using the bright and colorful American Crafts Margarita line.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

A Walk Down Memory Lane is celebrating its 9th birthday month. Along with that celebration comes a bunch of challenges.

Create a layout about a birthday using this sketch.

I flip, flopped and turned this sketch, then moved the strips around until I liked the placement of everything (excuse the bad photo...I will replace it tomorrow when I have better light).


I also completed another sketch challenge.


You can also see this layout on the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog with some tips on using the WeRMemory Keepers Sweetheart Inkers.

Distressing with Your Sweetheart

WeRMemory Keepers Sweetheart Inkers, that is. Check out my tips on using them on the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog.

Been Busy
