Colour challenge at THE SHOE!

okay folks, another chance for you to see what we, the DT, do at If The Shoe Fits... Scrap It!

as it is friday (thank GOODNESS!), we have for you a colour challenge. our colours this week are lime green and fuschia - a very FUN combination, and perfect as i've seen nothing but rain most of this week. here's my card:



this also means you have another chance to win my blog candy... participate in any of our Shoe challenges, OR in any of the challenges on our Shoe Ning forum and you get a shot at the candy, PLUS a shot at whatever is up for grabs for that given challenge. on our blog, each entry gets you a chance for a prize pack from our sponsor, Scrap-A-Doodle-Doo! and on the ning, each challenge has its own prize.

and so begins my weekend. it's been a VERY long week, and i could use some sleep. got the hair done tonight (pics forthcoming), off to the shore tomorrow, and our big show sunday. have a great weekend! :D

where'd her money go? in this blog candy!

seriously, check out THIS BLOG. tell me how awesome it would be to win this candy. i can think of, oh, a dozen websites or places where i'd have no problem racking up $150 worth of goodies. (ends 8/28)

wow, Stephanie, how insanely generous of you!

sleepy!

i am EXHAUSTIFIED. i got a ton of sleep the last couple of nights, but i guess my cardmaking marathon on saturday with my pallie Adina knocked me on my butt a little. i need to find my mojo again, because i've found a TON of fun challenges i want to do, and i'd like to put a dent in The Shoe's september challenges. i don't like to cut it too close to the deadline, and we're undergoing some structural changes, so i need to keep movin'!

anyway, yesterday was the son's sixteenth birthday. there were some struggles throughout the course of the day, but it turned out okay for the most part. the biggest thing on his plate right now is trying to find a job, and he just refuses to take our advice. (because, you know, we've never had to look for jobs and do interviews or anything...) he was, however, rather beaming when i gave him his card at the end of the night, containing two tickets to see Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, Panic at The Disco and Chester French tomorrow. :) too bad he's stuck going with ME! hee hee.

okay. time to get a bit of work done, and hopefully i can pull some items from my stash to start working on challenges when my shift is done. in the meantime, i dare you head on over to Gayle's Blog for a peek at some yummy candy, some of which is exclusive from CHA! that apron would sure be handy when i'm playing with my Glimmer Mists, and OOHH, new colours of Glimmer Mists! TASTY, indeed! check out the goodies:

i want! :)
have a great day, chickens. i'll be baaaaaaaaack!

Black and white YUM at The Shoe!

today we feature the very awesome kits given to us to play with, from our very awesome sponsor, Scrap-A-Doodle-Doo... the kits:



this is the first full kit i've had in my possession (the beach-themed kit was Adina's leftovers!), so i really tried to use up as much of the stuff as i could... here's what i came up with:











as you can see, no little scrap of cardstock went unused! but this gives you a good idea as to how far these little $10.99 custom kits really can go! but drop by If The Shoe Fits... Scrap It! and take a look at what the rest of the Design Team has made!


noo nee noo... i was peeking around the blogosphere this morning and also came across a new site called Creatalicious Challenges. they'll be hosting monthly challenges beginning on the 15th of this month, with some great prizes to be won! sign up, check 'em out, and i'll see you over there!

ya gotta love it for the green!

okay, so you have to go see what this girl is up to!
visit Deanne's blog to follow her recycling adventures until the end of this month... she has posted pictures of the items she plans to incorporate into craft projects, and, quite frankly, some of them are a little wonky! can't wait to see what she does, and for those wishing to play along and show support, she might send you one of her crafty works! :)

tomorrow is going to be a rough one - work's going to be stressful as i have a LOT to do. my son turns 16 and has "planned his own party", which isn't going to turn out to be much of a party.

but it's also the day when we share what we've done with the sponsor kit from the very awesome Scrap-A-Doodle-Doo! they supply the kits, we show what we can do with 'em at If The Shoe Fits... Scrap It! and the store sells the kits online for those wanting to play along with us! join us for other weekly challenges and see what we've done with a funky colour combination, too! you could win some sweet, sweet products from our sponsor! :) hope to see you there!
