Ali Edwards is a big tease. And we love her for it.
She's been running a series of giveaways this week and today's finaly prize is drool-worthy. There's more than 1500 entries (done by leaving a comment at this post) and the winner will be drawn tonight at 7 pm Pacific.
Go enter. You have nothing to lose. Well, except that really hot binder album and the chip paints. And the rubbers, I mean, stamps.
As previously mentioned, we love Emily Adams playlist line. So I have decided to have some fun and offer up a challenge. You may have seen the "Soundtrack of Your Life" boucing around on various blogs so now it's our turn to put the ole' scrapgasm spin to it. Get out your iPod and play along. I'll post my completed layout in a few days and then ask for folks to post links to theirs in the comments.
Here's what you do:
1. Grab your iPod or other MP3 player
2. Select the shuffle mode
3. Press play
4. Write down the songs in the following order
Opening Credits

1st Day of School

So there is your challenge have fun! Go!
National Scrapbook Day provides a great 2-5 minuted Podcast called the Naked Scraper. Plug it into your iPod and listen on the way to work. Now this is a great Scrapgasm quickie to help spark your creativity on the go. Check it out!
Check out Shimelle's page for a link to a quickie class on the Fiskars site. So very much fun. This is a sugary-sweet project for a day trip or as a momento for your mi amore.
What an afternoon treat to find that Shimelle, after teasing us some time ago, has finally posted the details on her latest class: When I grow up. I for one can't wait to sign up and tackle the age old topic of "When I grow up..." The workshop is being offered for US$12, which is a steal considering Shimelle is a complete and utter rock star when it comes to creating scrapgasms.
Do it do it.
Putting out = Giveaways.
You know the saying, sometimes it's better to give than to receive. The same holds true for a scrapgasm.
Ali Edwards recently asked her loyal scrappers to help her family raise funds for Autism Speaks. She was looking for a way to say 'thank you' to all who have been so generous in helping to raise more than $15,000 to date through Kevin Bacon's sixdegrees.org.
So, Ali has posted a PDF file with the instructions for one of her classes: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Always. She says the mini book (sample photo to your left) is "filled with different textures and goodies that help you celebrate the life of someone you love yesterday, today, tomorrow - always."
We'll take that.
It is a sad, sad day. One of my most favorite companies, Deluxe Designs, will be out of business by the end 2007. But the good news? Liquidation sale baybee! That's right everything must go -- templates, chipboard shapes, die cuts, idea books, many items for only US$1.
So if you are fortunate enough to go to a show where Deluxe Designs is exhibiting, bring your single bills and stock up like I did this weekend!
Otherwise check out their website and see if you can catch any great deals.
It is official -- I am in L-O-V-E! My Combo Trimmer arrived the other evening and it is fabulous. I have been on a monumental search to find a trimmer the cuts straight -- and knock on wood, I think I found it (*insert sounds of angels signing*).
Ahhh, the Mini Scrapgasm. A tiny bit of effort that
brings big...BIG results. And who couldn't use a tiny little boost every now and then? And guess what? You can even BUY them!
Nicol at Personal Growth is selling her famous Make/Take mini book at her blog. For $US9.00, you'll get the full kit shipped to you.
The mini book has a sweet Spring vibe. And it's perfect for when the mood strikes and you want to get crafty, but don't have tons of time to do your own thing. Kits are a thing for mini scrapgasms.
Check out her post for instructions to purchase the mini book.
Ever seen a scrapbooking afficianado light up in bliss, turn in to mush, and gasp in glory when looking at a new scrapbooking product?
That's called a Scrapgasm.
Grab our butt...on (get your head out of the gutter!).
And don't forget to link back to Scrapgasm. We likey.
Group scrapgasms are fun, but we're monogomous. We believe in safe scrapping.
Don't steal.
