We have lots of people participating, and would love you to "Blop" on over and give us all a visit! Here is a little secret- if you leave a comment on every single person's blog involved in the hop, there will be a drawing for a nice little RAK! And if you are the only one that left a comment on every persons blog-- then there will only be one name in the hat huh? ;D I know some of the other gals are offering their own RAK's, so be sure and visit.<br />We want to share all the talent we have on our "ning" site, so everyone in the hop has posted a little eye candy to give you some inspiration, and hopefully a few ideas on some things you can incorporate into your own works of art. So without further adu we are sending you to <a href="http://www.thoughtswithchris.blogspot.com/"><strong>Chris's Blog</strong></a> to start you off. Happy "blopping"! <a href="http://www.thoughtswithchris.blogspot.com/">http://www.thoughtswithchris.blogspot.com/<br /></a><br /><br />If in your travels you find someone that forgot to post their hop, you can come here and find the next person in line. (just highlight, copy and paste the url in yoru browser) that way you can get to everyone. Have fun!<br /><br />1. Chris: http://www.thoughtswithchris.blogspot.com/<br />2.

I have a fun idea that gets an event scrapped without all the time and expense... with just as much fun. This is great for those of us that want to accomplish more than we should expect to... I might just be doing this more and more since I find it so enjoyable.<br /><br /><br />Ever given a photo album by someone who knows you love photography and scrapbooking? I have. I used to get disappointed; thinking, what a shame I won't be using this... but now I see it as a fun project with just enough challenge to excite.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lvWHvtrvbcwvHoAbHvvx5hDLwOvcpfH3aVvNB9_hL5DapbaYw_nMVQTaYQg4-TLYBA9UIAlbJYHo-cgTtdsREy20UQU7M0aGJ2J23Z34ErJjgbZLJmIbg6EXG9CcYksZyk0H-KNN0e8/s1600-h/apr09+164.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325833255931270802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 308px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lvWHvtrvbcwvHoAbHvvx5hDLwOvcpfH3aVvNB9_hL5DapbaYw_nMVQTaYQg4-TLYBA9UIAlbJYHo-cgTtdsREy20UQU7M0aGJ2J23Z34ErJjgbZLJmIbg6EXG9CcYksZyk0H-KNN0e8/s400/apr09+164.jpg" border="0" /></a> Sure opening them you just see 4x6 slots looking very uninspiring, but since so many people print 4x6 photos, and it's easy to have them done quickly, this is a no-brainer for many people, but it felt like a light bulb moment for me :)<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikn55lbF2rCIY1rFE34gamJIW_rSDGmz9QGbgoOsudV40Gvb01sbZplSGuLPTnji-7w9XBf4dMXdZwVo54tM36vkMDyl-bLmzdRQa6Sl2_cAUa27JeHdZFmbsKTo0qINH_4wrkiH-IAzY/s1600-h/apr09+167.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325833170481339426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikn55lbF2rCIY1rFE34gamJIW_rSDGmz9QGbgoOsudV40Gvb01sbZplSGuLPTnji-7w9XBf4dMXdZwVo54tM36vkMDyl-bLmzdRQa6Sl2_cAUa27JeHdZFmbsKTo0qINH_4wrkiH-IAzY/s400/apr09+167.jpg" border="0" /></a> I started by deciding what was going into my photo album, and made me a mini title page.

If you haven't I strongly suggest you do. It adds such texture and interest to your photos! Shellie issued this challenge to our guest designers. The challenge was to use a frame on a project.

All I asked for them to do was to create a layout, card, or altered item using this color combination:<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290183957324526738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLgjfFfu7o9Ad8jXpprXPpBcOzbvl89i92UG46Ou2S7jWPls3WR7AAtogf9U4xdau5aZTl7A3-U7BB-wCDs82Nvjyjs_3upz7H17Vw6rWfZPiPtoLSg1ggLbrmj1ldEbSr7aSgLGvnJw0/s320/ColorComboChallenge+for+OOTF.jpg" border="0" /> So check out these fabulous projects!<br /><div><br /><div><strong></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Danni Reid</span></strong> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290184523275770082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOv0qdesQw0xe2ZJtAfVVHV7HQn8suGqHu6VglHLi50SlehdfyaggqfuZq-zIqt1W6l2ivXglstjeJtn8iirK4RVkFsiIq1UUfnCLmPCAL4R3dNGgaS8d2-W0ycvZ_6GPaadX-5OmHaLo/s320/OOTF+Dannijc1+assign+2.jpg" border="0" /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Kristy Cox</span> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290184889855527938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLXk8oXU5dz7tf82ZN9htAV2Qi8Ltl6ibgaphHt5mvwqYEuKVwa2Vi4MGCq7VrYGONMWdbXR7u-zQTKCyfy37VqxAr60E5rRsUyL_voUVQ_EPVWRHr7HaAjdRbn2os0HJWd1xTaxyrEj8/s320/OOTF+Kristy9918-finalsmall+2.jpg" border="0" /></strong><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Sara Repinski</span></strong> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290187338905231794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 303px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7cb5Rf2_zWMqFmC9CCD1fSGADGaQQ-PsIJCa5rj4SW6WynF6xCga381aqefwUclcW-Xs1cN6uX8t8QH_gkBJpeq1HXQx0fJ_JXZ-A_bHLcRJvJICLw_VhZ3fGaRxVHtzC9e1Q4k4FHs/s320/OOTF+Bunnyootf+assign+2.jpg" border="0" /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Toni Boucha</span></strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290187691300703010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 316px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTgt_OEtAmWm0lOBoXnA74W92He9okAdQCatCHIbSvTzoa6d75iV5mUXFF4lSGnF8LN1joRd_NVAXLtlopqHoGnll61sXPxgjNpL2Y_eKJIX8Qz6B3kG8p2olLRrWhtyx-ZrKMiswoeA4/s320/OOTF+Toni+MichiganMemories+asign+2.jpg" border="0" /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Meghan Peacock</span></strong></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290188562591970370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 254px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjS9VcauM2YY8VtKKyMLKTrdlanqt3AMlYUm5ZfavJ3ZZ_rz6CQReVCN2Y-Ky0wev1idmej1PVlQ6CtAvL6yjDwuTC2jNvEFt23NYPtSXQ3lh2zM9UuGQfO8dT9Jh3L6FyIywJ0uh2ht8/s320/OOTF+Megan+JAN09+014+chall+2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Suzanne Austin </span></strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290189003434466210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb8Hf5_fI6HGm9oy4clB5bqXamet-QR-7ZyoXU7kPWSwUvUvlTaDB0z560iNvm3hvaCbt6h4H_sbiovomwlbVa1jDAg5cWcqOJXVTbtgllqchqcAvVnqdqofO5JyMVAJ4uC_q8L5PkyEQ/s320/ootf%232cameracandy+Suzanne.jpg" border="0" /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Natalie Goward</span></strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290475501654909762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_kEhuFJA8Uy689cJfQFWQmdkYwIKV0zQZ1TLRnTJM9Gtkm8a7yo0zZBXJAkKU_BY_trJWCQgypqOBxyyAWI324nS3tC44gmNu2HDlPRPC0kZCNIPjOK83_TR5ThTFdMXELMcl-KRpTI/s320/jan081ret4web.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Robyn Weatherspoon</span><br /></strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290189377376149682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 305px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2lkj8ZC9thgKH5aloChzgGAm-BDjEWWGLF9x8JY_CYyrEfxZhXYvjIS_wta8Sxr1CqicyS6SnXbWBwY9F9pipQYMW3DQOOfRNCxkJdNHAv9Jv_9-zEkYjj0w1YejEGzwvDIl54jKtimg/s320/OOTF+Color+Challenge+Robyn.jpg" border="0" />What did I tell you?

I've been in a card making mode and couldn't seem to scrap a layout for the life of me. It was definitely a creative block! It took some doing, but after being inspired by a New Year's Cropping Challenge, I managed to pull this layout out of me. This was for a sketch challenge over at Creative Xpress. Sometimes just forcing yourself to do something helps you get past your scrapping block.</div>Outta This Funkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963342829786771142noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048178155821571560.post-21466131676095856562008-12-29T12:56:00.000-08:002008-12-29T13:18:43.896-08:00Truely HybridHey everyone! There's really not much I love to do in my spare time more than stamp and scrap on my projects, but I also love to add digital elements as well. We all know that the term "hybrid" means mixing paper scrapbooking with digital scrapping. Well today I created this layout where I used paper, stamps, and digital elements together.<br /><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285322419784939010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 392px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNNAHGqiUvnzYrMY6f9fLar1rZVSUvRJBlYHA2jhJXoc2gglHbMSxCUME5LB8wZtssvLN2l8O6iVCNg14AHHca3GaaxiksFaQ1BgZBTLsBJMmmTtsBCrOYhs_3CGa-i4jlBzf6OJYrtUc/s400/Mine.jpg" border="0" />The base of my layout is all paper with a transparency over the photo with flowers and buttons in the corners. I used stamps to stamp the mushrooms and owls onto paper, color with markers and cut them out by hand. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285322758298807410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZj6gGBdBFexhTVYyu9kgpSx3n0G5QWVYN_yULFIxqnxXZRjiyNkUF-xXlD8cHw3MJpoFgrrLmFnlm3dxQvGKAnINGUo_zwF1S2hfRdqDvYWwJHoc7hSKV1Xc54rOn7pCiryo-8RipuMQ/s320/Mine+2.jpg" border="0" />The digital part of this layout is in the journaling. I decided I didn't want to use my own handwriting on this layout so I decided to use my computer. The only thing was I wanted to use a color as my background and have the journaling in white. The best way for me to do this was to use my Photoshop Elements to create my white journaling with a brown background. It took me all of 6 minutes to create and print out of my printer. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285323170212793490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1cjxHIm7GzvvtO92x7Ar58v6fvZUbIliAkANolMI12r7U5iAWcSyCDj8Zaa-tToDGz8GTLICy95irKXjKa496gdikl3Xh8g2bgkKXZvk0-7GibPaLHMckVxKccqI6Q2W4DGvoXn7sLM/s320/Mine+3.jpg" border="0" />The fact that I mixed paper scrapping, stamping, and digital journaling together makes this a truely hybrid layout. Try it for yourself! I bet you'll get hooked! Love and blessings to you all!<br /><div><div></div><div>Robyn</div></div></div>Outta This Funkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963342829786771142noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048178155821571560.post-46058342239110211972008-12-18T16:15:00.000-08:002008-12-18T16:56:55.542-08:00Designer Challenge #1- "Saturated Shine!"<span style="color:#cc66cc;">Hi, Natalie here.<br />I was given the honor of coming up with the first assignment for the Outta This Funk guest designers. I’m excited about this because I’ve recently been inspired by someone and want to share it.<br /><br />My inspiration will translate into a scrapbook page. One that requires you to ‘think simple’. I’ve called it “Saturated Shine”<br /><br />“Shine” is the name of Karen Jensen’s photography business. She has a website that beautifully shows-off her great talent as a photographer in a simple and colorful way!<br /><br />Go to www.shinephotographybykaren.com<br />When you arrive click on enter site. (Go to the blog later, since that’s not part of the project.)<br />Before navigating the website watch the photos change and notice how she uses large blocks of vivid colors to compliment each photo. The colors she chooses enhance the beauty of the photo, not detract from it. Go ahead and click on galleries when you’ve seen all the intro photos. In there you will see 5 more galleries to be inspired by. (Cleverly named I might add!)<br /><br />This was the project:<br /></span><span style="color:#cc66cc;"><em>Use Karen’s wonderful photography skills to inspire you to use a new angle, how to pose your subject, or the location you choose. If you like, play with the colors of your photo in photoshop to increase the saturation before printing it. Then create a simple layout where the paper color(s) you choose enhances the photo. Avoid patterned paper where possible. It’s a distraction in this case. Title and journal as you wish keeping in mind the simple aspect.<br /></em><br />Here are the Guest Designers takes on this project. We hope you like them and feel inspired by us and Karen both!! Have Fun! </span><br /><br /><div></div><div><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Megan Peacock</span></strong></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281292928230931970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 314px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMjec2wMrqOrNjj1vK92gcvq0dfvQMe6YCVUFHN4U1iueCpFPxSaOSMVrmWv1FbV4o9Ybvdi6b_e0WIkN7VHLs9ChX-P-Mc2BMDD5DfDAX8LWZ8tPwWcp4Iz_FTozpPDwdntMCa5qlpzs/s320/Megan+Peacock+assing+1+dec08+028.jpg" border="0" /><strong></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Kristy Cox</span></strong> </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281293187572084258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOOPDL3iYXWCGzp-P-BdTPtuQTVKQqwbQJNTSUG8nyMi0bb7kkz9FiU5P8iaOBUTMMkDQMlQlJejKG580VmKTOXZG1xiodu7TUx-aYggLRAA7tBj0_y7YM0x_A2XY3Gs0XIatSu_SsCqY/s320/Kristy+Cox+assignment+1.jpg" border="0" /><strong></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Danni Reid</span></strong></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281293483616789010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwNjPSXf4M3O1KCqOX03HcMOkNxsRVLPV2-uWxQpcGPOPT-qb0EiwaHJMnXUawB84eCzHdksEG33X8As3P9GLSaU965rLLnG_BFQXGBxQn2RzBIFXuUJ2tlTTbTgyORPooo9GRONHdBNk/s320/Danni's+1st+assignment.jpg" border="0" /><strong></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Sara Repinski</span></strong></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281293781174231634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgshRpc9ro-WY9Cz3yC2qEHOVjpsZ6nncpC0vC_461fugl6RrHFXmWExWHfEA3z1hkCD6cDrO34OP1bFAxm6I7svzi4TTVcmM9Q0pX-KwGDFP0M3CHo8wnvIRZnJQViG7Rp9Tx66xCDDMM/s320/Bunny's+1+assignmentIMG_6885.jpg" border="0" /><strong></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Suzanne Austin</span></strong></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281295050715548946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 319px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVbcdbDnBexbZWHQhtCTZAceR32MFspyxE43xSVTAQ2fMvY1Xhzcghr8HYWQJ6NW1Sm_pYY7nQIqOpI1qzSxt_LUFU4COV-vE4Aq91VGsJ5V1h76FMr5xKl8IAT31jEU3XVl_VZ2319r8/s320/Lousyannut+nature%27swonder.jpg" border="0" /><strong></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Toni Boucha</span></strong></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281295388870895906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 319px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeHE9DRoBrdXP6qiPkLl5OVtHs6X1tW0c08r7uv4NOP3au0IcrAHwj2EoIF-xsgWIdzkX-pG6zxU1boUanajjrwPKHT-euFKJBQuFaqQV3403mWdGD2Q4MVCOilJ33UVWQ6ibhydzLjFA/s320/Toni's+Gecko+1+assignment.jpg" border="0" /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Natalie Goward</span></strong></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281296442798712258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4KFYN2pshf-B3Bl2xaWNlx9NcNxP2bSMKXUWf4ifDTazUqIn4cUCbIUmJkligezAyWvIVVe29bAWqa0_9ThT2pDZePcP2Dw3gWS7qXWacMPN9lsbjw0p1wXsSsAQWEtwZ6ByaiFZRZ8A/s320/Natalie+saturated-shine2-byNatty.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281296690345279122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 316px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_s_9GVdmwLVYxS3rYRtnutjGiVSOIuUz79KKamGuTW4XribQMn9W9JqJZfgO4f9vXD91076FVqMJqQUpQuh_OSVyXRDkcX4a-T_2cY0I6YOyIOw3LppzUuX0__F5om1a8YzPrMGC82AM/s320/Natalie+2saturated-shine-byNatty.jpg" border="0" />Outta This Funkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963342829786771142noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048178155821571560.post-42029990168946326022008-11-24T16:15:00.000-08:002008-11-24T17:12:28.687-08:00Guest Designers<span style="color:#ff99ff;"><em>Outta This Funk is proud to introduce you to six incredibly talented designers!

So you all want to know what gets me out of my funk. Well if we are talking about scrapbooking then it is one of two things………going to my room and just letting myself find inspiration either from photos that touch my heart, yummy products that just scream create with me or some kind of random combination of photos and papers/embellishments that get my imagination flowing. I have been known to just throw some of my new/old favorite papers and products on the floor and let my eye run wild with the colors and combinations. Then of course if this should fail me, there is shopping. I am an old-fashion kind of girl who loves to drive to my local scrapbook stores and immerse myself in the atmosphere. I love to admire other people’s creations and see what they have done with new products.<br />As for myself, I have been scrapbooking for 10 years and have seen it change in so many ways. Like many others, I started with a home party and quickly discovered that I wanted more. And that feeling of more has never left me. Over the years, I have taught classes, designed for different local scrapbook stores and manufacturers; and lastly, lucky enough to have been published in several different magazines. Right now, I am just doing my own thing for my family.<br />I am looking forward to meeting,learning and creating with others that share the same passion.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc66cc;">Suzanne Austin</span> </strong><br /></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272388080259467922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 330px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 188px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_kRAj7EsLBYtUSJjfmrRd7a3SlczgEdBb2-xQZmBp1T_uF8lnGvDg9ZGmrjbAz4IzL3T-mDczO7jh62VhJ3yyJhOww02xfjLqwUD0RDbXfwO0CDCDZC-neMbQf4p0IlrNu2QcXmB96x0/s400/suzM&h.jpg" border="0" /><br />Hi! My name is Suzanne Austin. I’m a SAHM living on the Gulf Coast in Mobile, AL. I’ve been married to my wonderful, but sometimes “joyfully unstable” husband for 12 years. We have a soon to be 2yr old son named Kennedy (KJ) and expecting a baby girl due in February of 2009. I started scrapbooking 5 years ago when my husband and I built our home here in Mobile; I wanted to document the process and thought that a scrapbook would be the perfect way to do so. Little did I know it would quickly become an addiction. I stopped for a couple of years, but quickly picked up interest again when I found out I was pregnant with our first kiddo. I’ve been a lost cause ever since! I’m thrilled that OOTF has given me this fun opportunity!<br />What gets me out of my scrapping funk:<br />I am so not the planned scrapper, therefore, it’s almost imperative that some form of inspiration is present in order to scrap a page I deem decent. There’s nothing better than a great picture to jump start the scrapping mojo within. Candid photos of my son and family are by far my favorites. Other things that motivate me out of my funk would include using color combinations in everyday life and challenging myself to implement them on a page, lyrics to a favorite song, board crops and challenges. </span></div><br /><div><br /><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc66cc;">Sara Repinski</span></strong> </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span></div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272389932766666578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 328px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 275px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMpDjmh8n1tUUeSEJ-3TgnKClxm3kAHxmouSIp5tihnPVOr5q8P3mfkXaWmHoyiNxr091oRpe9ly_0eMwe6OgOvvbwhAx7n1LCFD3UwuVi83k5T5CJgjn8wNpB32WMnZoAM9kNSyagNV0/s400/Bunny's+photo.jpg" border="0" /><br />Hi my name is Sara Repinski, but my scrappy friends call me Bunny. I am an Acquisitions Librarian at the University of South Carolina School of Law as well as a scrapbooking and card making addict. I am married to my wonderful husband, going on ten years now, no children other then the furry kind so they are the main subjects of my scrapping. Some other things about me, I love football, all sorts of music and watching forensic type shows.What gets me out of my funk? Challenges!!! I love how they make me step out of my box and try new things. </span></div><div><br /><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc66cc;">Danni Reid</span></strong> </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span></div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272390276641389890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 297px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 310px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_VtL_N1KQL1gx85fDeWdISUS86i5n_zc1uuy5RZTZVSFu97EKQzx3efoQZ3q8REKlAGgJMgsYpr4OE0Ojx4XCIwCEtnrMNu3iQbsMmZUjchtvuTLru8yvWca7TPXa_MiI2z-5GuqV81g/s400/Danni's+photo.jpg" border="0" /><br /></span><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;">I am a sahm to 4 incredible babes, whom I absolutely adore. My children range in age from 14 to 4, so it's never dull :)<br /><br />While I love ALL aspects of scrapbooking, cards are my passion, and I feel so blessed to share the reason behind that passion with you. I began creating cards 15 years ago, after receiving a gift from my grandmother. A gift for Christmas. A gift from her. It was a set of stamps, markers and embossing items (it's all they had back then), so that I could create the cards to send to her instead of having to buy them. My grandmother. A woman, who lived 2 states away from me and whom, if I was lucky, I was able to see once a year. BUT, she was my soul. I KNEW her, I LOVED her and I MISS her more than I can begin to tell you. I wrote to her, religiously, 2-3 times a week, sharing every big and little thing and she KNEW me. She would write back and I'd feel like a kid on Christmas, I could hardly wait to open the letter, and while turning it over and over in my hands, would finally do so. I would read those letters and "feel" her, "feel" my heritage, "feel" my soul. She's my grandmother and I miss her so much it hurts. I always create my cards with her in-mind, as if when I am finished creating the card, I can seal it and send it back to that place in time, a place of love, laughter and so many happy memories.<br /><br />I generally find that a day spent looking through magazine ads takes care of any/all "funks", so inspiring.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc66cc;">Kristy Cox</span></strong> </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span></div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272391544512029714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 236px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 363px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVjM98x8aO02CSMlAPZEGhfQaYxceAiUxEJ0qcJgCCMjFUXIrMq0a-PLVWrwap6c6ajMBxB4BV3Wy_gkW2MPPeVAkUAbEcQ86PWlsdBjiB-QKWIoq-YS-t7SiYSeEc2YdiNuP4FjYpO8k/s400/Kristy+Cox.jpg" border="0" /><br />I am currently a SAHM (former Army nurse). I started scrapbooking 4 years ago. I would call my style "real" and still evolving. my true passion has always been photography, so that is a main focus with my layouts. I love making homemade gifts for people and am always up for a good trial of altering something. I live in upstate NY (snow country). I have 2 little girls (abby-6, ella-3) and they are my everything. I married a soldier boy who is currently deployed for the next year. What gets me out of my scrapbooking funk: usually I need time to veg first. A good movie, a good book. Something to step away from the layouts and pictures. Then I look thru my paper. All my paper. Every. Sheet. And that starts the juices flowing. Then I start looking at pictures. I usually start looking at ones that are 6 months or older (because I tend to forget about those unscrapped ones)...and I usually come across many that are calling out to me to tell their story. So, that's how it starts for me. (new pretty stuff can make this process happen quicker many times:)<br /><br /></span><div><strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc66cc;">Megan Peacock</span> </span></strong></div><div> </div><div></div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272392995755860354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 274px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 347px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh8-vuAfwpZbsLEjZFfNdnMhg-ttDXDRvWrGhVUgh00_0fr3qMcqQlxS1PeyTOryXVgNkCs7BtSXz29keh7S9j4uHOqsutKHsmYcxSKwMioH87URC_GvagZdmm9MveGENFcChV6cg46V4/s400/Megan's+photo.jpg" border="0" /><br /></strong>I've been stamping and scrapping for about 10 years now. My main love is stamping. I've been a demo for a couple different stamp company which has been a great learning experience in building up my stamping skills set. I love trying new techniques- bringing fine art supplies into crafty endeavors. I am currently a SAHM to my 17 year old son. My husband travels on business a lot which gives me a lot of time in my stamp cave.<br /><br />Question- I find the best funk blaster for me is to start blog surfing ("blurffing").<br />I'll see a cute card or SB LO and think OK- I am just going to try to lift this.<br />I'll sketch it out, take it into my scrap room/stamp cave and start pulling out supplies. Usually by the time I am done ,it doesn't look much like the original but it gave my that nudge to get me going! </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span></div><div><em><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Look for inspiration from these designers in the upcoming month!</span></em></div></div></div>Outta This Funkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963342829786771142noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048178155821571560.post-22592545492874509522008-11-17T10:08:00.000-08:002008-11-17T10:15:44.098-08:00Rub it on!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglx1LONysKymdGs3Kz7c-JrXCFFssmQH_vtm6fOT9DhKZainB80uITd9TYpC9EPgCGERGR-olb9wGUMRW_2ucCKJA9C9QSFHDj_GIJJy74A1DkY4xVO521AifmlUi6PRVXVZ1UfaoXbbM/s1600-h/Got+Sisters.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglx1LONysKymdGs3Kz7c-JrXCFFssmQH_vtm6fOT9DhKZainB80uITd9TYpC9EPgCGERGR-olb9wGUMRW_2ucCKJA9C9QSFHDj_GIJJy74A1DkY4xVO521AifmlUi6PRVXVZ1UfaoXbbM/s400/Got+Sisters.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269691398006760290" border="0" /></a><br />Hey everyone! Kristy here...<br /><br />So I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm perhaps the SLOWEST scrapper in the entire universe. In fact...this simple page here took me upwards of 3.5 hours to make. Why do you ask? Because I was utterly stumped.<br /><br />This layout is about my oldest boy and the fact that he grew so much last year that when we had our first snow storm last week, that he had no boy gloves to wear. He was dying to play in the snow so we opted to go with sisters gloves.<br /><br />I really wanted to focus on the fact that he was wearing flowery gloves. I kept trying all sorts of aarows and what not to point to the main focal photo, but it just wasn't working for me.<br /><br />Then I remembered my rubons. I thought this round, white polka dot rubon was the perfect answer to bring out the fact that he had on girly gloves. It added the emphasis that I wanted without too much distraction.<br /><br />My sister in law turned to me and said "ohhhh...that scares me too much to do anything like that with my photos".<br /><br />Don't be scared! Remember, if you do something you like to a photo that you don't love, you can always print it again!Outta This Funkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963342829786771142noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048178155821571560.post-13020517188147803742008-11-11T16:31:00.000-08:002008-11-11T16:45:08.588-08:00Inspiration: An Old ScrapbookHi y'all!<br />Teri here.<br /> I was roaming around an antique festival a few weeks back and spied some really cool, old scrapbook pages.<br />Here's what they looked like:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXg77qJUTKwjBlYKtCz6GSnJLle3I7JkMtJrDOqZwZjbUlzS-SkB8LOZF_MaUsxzkRaRqO_-yyQ9mxOM6GyWUUFTCjP6ogaxx522csXZ0bWATMCGEnwDpsKwXMM6Cxi_MhyphenhyphensuaSBe7Mc/s1600-h/WarmWishesLedger_teri.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267564983490716594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXg77qJUTKwjBlYKtCz6GSnJLle3I7JkMtJrDOqZwZjbUlzS-SkB8LOZF_MaUsxzkRaRqO_-yyQ9mxOM6GyWUUFTCjP6ogaxx522csXZ0bWATMCGEnwDpsKwXMM6Cxi_MhyphenhyphensuaSBe7Mc/s400/WarmWishesLedger_teri.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>They made my heart go pitter patter.

This mess takes almost 8 hours to dry. </div><div></div><div>Within the first 3 hours, remove the hat from the form and give it a slight pinch on two sides so it's not round but oval like a head. Letting it dry on the form will make removing it later very difficult. Also set it on a surface it will not stick to and one that will clean up easily if you added paint to the mix.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I made this yesterday, it's dry and stiff, but I still need to decorate it for tomorrow. Here's what I've done and will do...</div><div></div><div></div><div>If it's too big, I plan on sinching it up by stitching embroidery floss around the base a couple times and tying the ends to the required circumfrence.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I've spray painted some of those funny shaped wooden beads black. I am going to use the skein of fuzzy thread to stitch them to the hat in a type of band around the base. It looks fluffy, but it's actually very thin. I will stitch through the hat to the outside, string a funny shaped black bead, a small black seed bead, and then go back through the funny shaped bead to the inside of the hat. I'll exit again and repeat for another bead.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Then I have that tinsel thingie. It's on wire, so I am going to decide if I want to keep it on the wire and connect it to the hat so that it's a bit of a bobble exiting the point. I haven't yet played with it, so I don't know how I'll make that work. Maybe it should be more of a focal at the front of the hat near the band.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Then to finish it off, I need to trim the base of the hat so it's not square. I figure I will try to keep it rough, and not circular, but definately not square.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I'm also going to give it a coating of hairspray to try and keep the glitter from getting itself all over the house as I walk around :)</div><div></div><div>TFL!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Outta This Funkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02963342829786771142noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048178155821571560.post-39350977419938951252008-10-27T04:42:00.001-07:002008-10-27T05:07:41.251-07:00SNEAK PEEK - PaperCrafts GourmetHi!<br />It's Dee!<br />With a sneak peek at PaperCrafts newest delicious publication, PC Gourmet!<br />Here is an exclusive PC Gourmet project (complete with recipe, supply list and instructions) perfect for this week (Halloween is coming!!)
