Alright, Ladies, here we are only a couple days left of 2009. Can you believe it? Where does the time go? I remember when I was little, whenever we would pretend something was from the far off future we would say “in 2010″! That just sounded so far away, like we’d never see it in our lifetime, lol! And, don’t look now… but here it comes!
Now, I’ve never made a New Year’s Card before and I’ve never received one either… but we are gong to do just that. Let’s make a New Years Card to give a special friend wishing them the best the new year has to offer! What do you say? Are you game? Can you handle this challenge? Alright, then head on over to this forum to download your template! I Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Welcome to the weekend! Petra here, to challenge you to join me in scraplifting this beautiful layout by Catgoddess, called Love.

Visit us HERE to join in the fun and have a great weekend.

Hi there, sweetie Petra here. Time to get festive, now that December is here and that includes your desktops!  I’ve made a desktop template for you to play with and you can download it in the Challenge forums HERE.

Here is mine for some inspiration using Home for Christmas by Valarie Ostrom and MoonIsGone.

Have fun and I can’t wait to see you desktops

Wow! Can you believe we’re already in December!? It’s crazy how fast time flies. Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye. And another year will come to an end shortly after that.

This weeks Word Art can be used in so many different layouts. I can see it being used for our spouses, our children, Christmas (Santa or Jesus), Easter Bunny… you name it! I’m anxious to see what YOU come up with!

Here is a preview of the WA. Go HERE to download it.

Come join the fun!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another Template Thursday! I’m sorry I’m late. My week has been a blur and I completely forgot what day this was! But here I am with the first layout template I’ve ever made on my own. As I was surfing some random scrapping sites this past weekend I kept running into several pages that looked like they had all used the same template, and I loved it, so I tried tracking down the template to purchase for myself. Well, I was never able to track it down (credits, people! credit.) so I’m did my best at recreating it for myself. Now, I’m warning you, it is very basic, but that just gives you more room to build on your own imagination, right? Good!
Now, you all know the rules, download the template, create your page, upload it to the gallery and come back here to link us up to that page. Don’t forget to keep track of your completed challenges. It all adds up to points, which then turn into discounts in our shop!
So what are you waiting for? Download your template and let me see where it takes you! Here’s a preview of the template, and it’s linked for downloading.

And, here’s my page, for a little inspiration.

This week Project B is giving away her newest collab, Warm Winter Wishes.

Get ready for winter with this fantastic kit.  It can be yours free!  Visit this thread for more info.

Hello Sunshines!

 Caro here to invite you to join me for a lyrics challenge this week.   All you need to do is scrap a layout inspired by the lyrics I’ve chosen (take a look here) then upload your layout to the challenge gallery.  Link your gallery page back to the challenge thread and you’ll get SUN points for playing!

There’s some really stunning new goodies on the shelves in the store so grab a kit and come play along

I think I’ll be grabbing this one since it goes perfectly with the lyrics

 I also have some other new favourites, check these out…

Come on over and join me for the Saturday Scraplift with a little twist!  Posting a little early….have a hike at a Nature Reserve in the am. For this week’s Scraplift I want you to add a twist….you need to rotate your lift. It can be 90 degrees left or right or it can be 180 if you like. I picked this fun lo by DanosPookie.

Please leave her some love on her lo HERE.  I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!

It’s Template Thursday again! So, grab my template, put your own spin on it (flip it, rotate it, or just leave it as is), and then post your page in the gallery and link back to the challenge forum so we can see what you did with it!

Here’s some inspiration from our Sweeties…

So many of you are coming up with such great pages for all the wonderful challenges SSS has to offer! I am so amazed by all the talent here! Challenges are a great way to get out of a rut if you’ve lost your “mojo” or to just try something new and creative. These are some of my favorite challenge layouts I’ve seen so far (and you can click them to leave some love!)

Check out what Arlyn and Sugar & Spice did with the template challenge! I love how both of them really made it their own! Yes both of these came from the same template!

Jan1368 and Christellevandyk blew me away with their layouts for the word art and lyric challenges!

Then KnittinJen and Tessthescrapper did an AWESOME job with their interpretation of the Ad Challenge! Yup, both came from the same ad, yet beautifully different results.

I also have to show off this awesome page Jeepmama did for the scraplift challenge too! This is just such a fun page!

So if you haven’t tried the challenges yet what are you waiting for!? It’s a great way to sharpen and improve you skills and get great pages as a result! Plus some of them even offer a freebie. So head on over to the forum and get started! Can’t wait to see more fabolous layouts from all you ladies!
