Sunday Scraps

So there isn't much time left of Sunday but it is still Sunday where I live... so here are a few things I got scrapped since I last shared.

hmmm. guess I better get busy and get some scrapping done!

I did do these cute envelopes that I haven't shared.

Images are linked to my ScrapMatters gallery.

Log Your Memory...

When I first found Log Your Memory ... I thought now why didn't I think of that!  I showed off my Log Book at some point (here it is again) and I LOVE it.  I love to see the challenges for the month as well as put little notes about what is going on in our life right now so I can remember to scrap it later.

Besides a fabulous Log Book... the challenges are totally "real-life" based.  I love scrapping what is REALLY happening. Here are a couple layouts that I have already shared before but that I did as part of a challenge there.

 

Well... Lucky me! I am the featured designer at Log Your Memory this month!   What does this mean?? Lots of fun goodies are available to grab - just for completing the challenges. Everything is perfect for both hybriders and scrappers.  Nothing has been revealed yet... so you will have to wait and see!

 

Put Wednesday the 6th on your calendar 6pm PST - we will be chatting in the chat room there!  I will remind you again but always good to have it on your calendar!

I posted a few posts ago about this great Food & Water package available from Shelf Reliance.  I should mention this is the same kit you might be seeing advertised by Costco... but as a consultant we BEAT the price and have the free food and 1/2 priced items as well. - In case you were wondering!

Word Art, Egg Baskets & More

**Blog Hop is below**

Sorry I have been a little bit MIA around on my blog here!  Things have been busy in other parts of life, a big part is with Shelf Reliance. I have been doing lots of education about our food and emergency preparedness. So many are wanting to get prepared now that it is fresh in their minds what an earthquake can do. We live in California - earthquake country! If you need help or have questions about becoming prepared - send me an e-mail adamandkrisi at gmail dot com.

Ok... on to the releases for this week:

The first is a portion of my contribution to The Daily Digi's The Digi Files.  A new month is starting (how can it already be April?) and a new set of designers will be featured there - be sure to check it out!

This word art pack is FULL of spring sentiments just waiting for a layout or hybrid project.  Here are a few samples from the CT:

Karen:
 
Also uses my Spring Shaped Cards.

Linda:
 
This is so cute... what a fun way to use the word arts but also what a great gift!

These two from me I used parts of the word arts and combined them with parts of kits:
 

And my second release is a re-release. I have Egg Baskets - coming back, they now include SVG cutting files!

Here is another example:

Anne-Katrine

Also wanted to mention I am the sponsor of a challenge over at The Paper Trail during the month of April.  Head over there and see what great projects their Design Team has created with my products and participate in the challenge to win a gift certificate to my store at ScrapMatters.  Be sure to see the post below for a fun blog hop!

And just a reminder that there is one day left in the Spring Cleaning Sale that some of the Designers at ScrapMatters are participating in. I am not so good at cleaning - especially spring cleaning!  But do head over and help the other designers clean out their items they are retiring.

Hurry and get hopping!

Glad you stopped by to get your after dinner mint!

I got my inspiration from the idea of a mint and what I would put them in to give them to people. 

I used April's The Paper Trail Kit and Krisi's Box It Up Small Square Box template to make it. 

This box is just perfect for little candies or trinkets!

Here  you can see how I just threw some mints wrapped up into the box, but it will also fit the Ghiardelli chocolates too.

Did you know that you can get this template for FREE!
