Shabby Chic

Here's a challenge for all of you ladies out there that like the look of shabby chic, but you are intimidated by the look. I challenge you to try it! You know you want to! And for those of you that are looking at this right now thinking: "Well I already do shabby chic, so this isn't much of a challenge for me." Then this is just a challenge to complete a page! Just do it!

Here We Go!!!

Alright. Let's take a deep breath here. I'm sorry that I haven't been doing too good with the blog lately, but I just contacted the design team and I'm hoping that I will be able to start up again on July 10. Even if something happens with the design team, I'll do a layout and post that. No matter what, I'm going to do this!! Thanks for being patient with me!

Day 9 - Circle Fun

This challenge is for you to make a page that has at least 5 circles on the page. It is not that many when you think about it, and these circles can be layered, partial circles, whole circles, giant one, or tiny dots drawn with a pen. Whatever you do with this challenge, it must have at least 5 circles, it may have more if you like but it is not necessary. So get started!!!

Day 7 - Pretty in Purple

I was just thinking the other day about how people say pretty in pink, while somebody can be pretty in purple too! Purple is a recent favorite color of mine for scrapbooking... even though for other things lime lime green is. Just last night I went to Pat Catans to spend my christmas and birthday money and I made a major investment... a heat embossing tool. I have been looking at those little heat guns for quite a while now and finally chose to go ahead and make the purchase! If any of you have a heat gun and embossing powders, you need to use some heat embossing on your layout. If you don't, use at least 5 brads. Most of your layout should be purple, but you may have less than 4 items that are not purple on your layout!! Go ahead!! Get started!!

Design Team Call

I am looking for 6 crafty people that would like to be on a design team. I am looking for people who think they could accomplish the task of creating a layout twice a week, perhaps even daily. You will be assigned a day of the week, and , the day before, I will give you a challenge. You need to complete a page by evening, and send me a picture via e-mail so I can post it the next day. To apply, send 3 or 4 of your best layouts to jellybeansdesign@yahoo.com along with a short (5 or 6 sentence) bio about yourself - how long you've been scrapping, your age, and any other things you would like to include. I also would like to know if you are current on any other design teams. This does not effect you entry at all, I'm just curious. Also, a link to any message boards or galleries you post your work to would be helpful as well. Looking forward to seeing all of your work!
