My name is Dinah and I am one of the outgoing DT members of this wonderful community. I really had a fantastic time as DT and I feel so lucky to have been in the company of fabulous and talented ladies. For those of you who are hearing about it for the first time, Scrapbook Challenges is a community where weekly sketches and challenges are given to keep you motivated and inspired.

Here's a sketch to get you started:

And for the artist who likes twice the challenge, a double page sketch:

I thought the double page sketch was perfect for my photos that had been in my photo box for months!

Go Team!

Hello again users! Welcome to another Use It Tuesday Challenge. This is sort of bittersweet because this is my last project as DT member for this wonderful team. I've been so lucky to be part of this team and to have worked with very talented crafters. Special thanks go to Sami and Siobhan who have been nothing but gracious to us.

Now for the challenge.

Our challenge this week is to make a project (layout, card, etc.) about out the color of your favorite sports team. Now I'm not at all into sports but my husband is. He is a big Celtics fan and of course, that says green.

Here's my layout:

Papers, alpha stickers and embellishments are by Basic Grey.

Please do join us for this challenge. I invite you to visit the Use It Tuesday blog for challenge details and to see the wonderful creations of our fabulous DT. This challenge is open to all scrapbookers and card makers.

Just a friendly reminder: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

So dig into your stash and USE IT!

Thanks for visiting!

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!

Scrapfit Challenge

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas.

For me, the downtime during the Christmas holiday season is the time between Christmas and New Year. And that time is now. I did some blog hopping and found ScrapFIT and decided to join their Weekend Warm Up Challenge #21, which is to choose a favorite layout in 2011.

This is a layout I made when I was a DT member for Sassy Lil Sketches. I like that it's clean, simple and best of all, it's about my little boy.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Holidays!

Hello there users! Are you into the Christmas rush yet? Well then, do take a break and join us at Use It Tuesday. It's time for Challenge #21!

Our challenge this week is to make a project (layout, card, etc.) about out theme "Holiday". It doesn't have to be Christmas but anything that you and / or your family celebrates.

Here's my layout:

This is a photo of my family and relatives on my father's side - with my brother, my uncle, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces. Having lunch together on Christmas Day is a tradition I grew up in. I don't remember not doing this.

Papers are October Afternoon, buttons by American Crafts, rubons by Heidi Grace, and alpha by Thickers.

Thankful

Hello there users! It's time for Challenge #20 at Use It Tuesday.

Because it's almost Thanksgiving, our challenge this week is to make a project (layout, card, etc.) about "Giving Thanks". We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the Philippines (maybe we should) but I've been to a few Thanksgiving celebrations myself and it is nothing but fun and good food!

This week I put myself to the test. Instead of a layout, I made a Thank You card. I am not at all a card maker and this was really a challenge for me. Here is my attempt at card making.

I used old papers from my American Crafts stash, some old twine and almost dry Stickles. What do you think? :)
