Get your Scrap On

Everyone needs a little help now and then to get their scrappin' juices flowing. While reading Elise's blog today--she also has an awesome companion blog showcasing her daily creative endeavors-- I saw her version of this creative journal. The Creating Garden at 2peas has all the instructions for this Make and take including the PDF to download. So scoot on over there and grab the goods. Post links to your creation here and who knows what goodies may await a luck participant!

Luxe-orius Sneak Peaks

Luxe designs is starting a week of sneak previews of their new summer line. I am in love with Pashmina! You have just got to love the bright pinks contrasted with the chocolate browns. I need to make some sweet pages with this line. Can't wait to see more tomorrow!

So Stylin'

While surfin' for inspiration a few weeks back I stumbled across scrapinstyletv.com. I was most intrigued. They officially launched yesterday, May 15. You must check them out! Cool videos of techniques, interviews and general fun stuff make up the site. They have a monthly kit, which I ordered so look for the review as soon as that box-o-goodness arrives on my doorstep. Like other sites they have message boards and galleries but from what I've seen so far they put a much more trendy, stylin' spin to it. So go check them out, I mean, they have Claudine Hellmuth on their design team so it should be good!

Scrapgasm Challenge: Sound Track of Your Life

So here is my take on the "Sound Track of Your Life" challenge. I used the Playlist line of paper and made a collage CD listing from iTunes. So I've shown you mine, you show me yours! Post a link to your images in the comments.

Scrapgasm Challenge: Sound Track of Your Life

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.

Afternoon Delight: Shimelle's at it again!

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.

Denied Scrapgasm: Say "Ciao Bella" to Deluxe Designs

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.

Toys: Purple Passion

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*).
