April 2024 Designer Tip with Connie Prince

           

Hi everyone!  I hope that Spring is shining it's beautiful little face wherever you are today!

Nothing says Spring like strawberry season, right?  This month we'll be focusing on this delicious fruit and the colors of red & pink!

The layouts below were created using my new kit, PaintChips Strawberry Field, which is on sale 40% off this week through 4/25.

Cute Critters Bunnies

Some tips or ideas for scrapping your layouts with PC Strawberry Fields

1.  Show off your culinary delights using fresh strawberries!

2.  Are you a grower or a picker?  Either way, take lots of photos and scrap them!

3.  This kit is also perfect to show off your berry cute little ones!

4.  Or even your more grown up cuties!

I hope that you found some inspiration today!

Happy Strawberry season!

It's not too late to join in the Use-it-All Challenge with Karen Schulz Designs

 Hi friends, My name is Karen of Karen Schulz Designs and I am the host of the Use-it-All Challenge.

I find it interesting and inspirational to see how we can all use the same papers and elements, yet create totally different scrapbook pages or projects. That is the thought that prompted this challenge.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN IN THE FUN!

The rules for this challenge are simple. I provide you with a Mini-Kit and you create a layout with it. Pretty simple, right?

Mother's Day is not far away. It's time to start thinking about that special woman in your life, be it a mother, grandmother, aunt, or other female who has influenced your life. Why not create a photo album filled with your favorite photos of them? Or perhaps a greeting card or bookmark?

So head on over to the Use-it-all Challenge   and join in the fun! You'll receive this mini-kit to work with!

I hope to see you there!

Free Weekly Kit by Featured Designer: Scraps N Pieces

************************************CORRECTION******************************** Our deepest apologies for the incorrect information about the Free Weekly Kit that was sent out this morning.  The Free Weekly Kit is NOT The Great Outdoors.  The correct Free Weekly Kit is Fresh As Springtime.  Please see the corrected information below. **********************************************************************************

Let’s welcome Lori & Heidi from Scraps N Pieces as this week’s Featured Designers!

Layout from The Great Outdoors

Q&A With Lori and Heidi Heidi If you could own ANY animal as a pet, what would it be? A Doodle Dog Your favorite toy as a child was? My Mandy Doll What is the farthest you have ever traveled from home? Georgia What is your favorite thing to do to relax? Scrapbooking or designing  Who is a very special person in your life? My Dad Lori: What is the BEST meal you have ever eaten? Toss up between a little Mexican restaurant in Cuba, New Mexico on my sister trip with Heidi 2 years ago or Hell’s Kitchen on our sister trip this last year. What is the biggest life lesson you have learned? You have to just be kind and let people make their own choices and decisions even if it isn’t what I think may be best for them.   What is the farthest you have ever traveled from home? Not sure which is further – Yukon, Alaska, or the Bahamas, both about the same distance away. What is your favorite book? This changes year by year, but my favorite so far is probably “Before We Were Yours”  It’s a hard choice because I read a lot. What is the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? I’m not super daring when it comes to eating, so probably Ceviche. To finish off we would love to share some of Lori and Heidi’s favorite layouts:
