NSD Sale and a FREEBIE

Hi there, digi-land! National Scrapbooking Day is right around the corner, and I'm celebrating with a huge sale!



You'll be able to pick up a few items for only $1! Nearly everything else will be 50% off. Sale starts tomorrow (May 1st) and goes through Monday (May 4th).

Oh, and I'm bringing back Capture Life: The Collection for this weekend only.



After Monday, it will no longer be available, and neither will the separate element packs, paper packs, word art packs, alphas, and templates in this collection. So grab them before they're gone for good!

Enchanted studio Scraps has lots of activities planned for NSD, including a Scrap-a-thon and lots of speed scraps, so be sure to stop by! And if you spend $10 in the store, you'll get an exclusive collab kit for free!

Oh, and make sure you're signed up for my newsletter--I'll be sending out an exclusive coupon tomorrow that will help you save even more during the sale!

Here's my freebie kit for the final round at Funky Playground Designs:

Scrap Mix Challenge!

Hey everyone! QT bre here with this weeks challenge! This challenge is inspired by a challenge over at Cat Scrap. It's called Scrap Mix and is a lot of fun with this one. I hope you all will have fun too. It may seem tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple. We've played it before, but I've changed things up a bit. Here's how it works!

Instructions
There are 4 categories: Main Paper, # of Photos, Element, and Inspiration From a Song.

To figure out what your main paper should look like, take the day you were born, add up the digits until you have a single digit. For example, if I was born on the 29th day, I would do this: 2+9=11, then 1+1=2. My paper should be striped. I was actually born on the 2nd day, so I should use a paper that is striped.

To determine how many pictures you need to use your page, take the number of the month you were born. I was born in the 7th month, so I need to use at least 7 pictures! If you were born in the 10, 11, or 12 month, you add the digits until you get a single digit (ex. the 11th month would be 1+1=2, so you would use 2 pictures.)

To find out the main element you should use, you add the digits of the year you were born. Example: 1986, 1+9+8+6=24, 2+4=6, my main element is a frame.

Category 4 is your age and will determine what you should use as your inspiration. I wanted something different so I typed "Top 10 Children's Songs." You're going to really have to stretch your creativity as some of the songs are a little different! If you absolutely CAN NOT fit the song/lyrics into your LO. I will let it slide....JUST THIS ONCE though... :) Anyway, again take your age, add it until you get a single digit, and have fun. I am  22, so 2+2=4. My song is "If I Didn't Have You." (I will post links the to songs/lyrics below...)

Here are the categories! (If you can't see it, try clicking on it. If you STILL can't see it, let me know!)

Here is my LO. I used the striped paper, I used SEVEN photos (that was a STRETCH for me! lol) and I made FRAMES to go around the seven pictures. I also used the words "if I didn't have them (changed from you)" from my song. 

Here are the songs for you if you need them. You don't have to use the whole song, just a part or parts that stick out to you!
Song List Site

Song #1

Song #2

Song #3

Song #4

Song #5 (I could only find the music video on Youtube...)

Song #6

Song #8

Song #9

Post the link to your LO as a comment so we can see your creations. Any questions, PLEASE ASK! Thanks for stopping by! :) Winner will receive a $5 GC to SuzyQs store!! Get those LOs done! Have fun and be creative with this challenge! If your birthday doesn't work for you, pick your DH, DD, whoever you can think of! :)

I just love everything in this kit! Oh, you want to see? Well, I guess I can give you a little preview before tomorrow. Here you go!

It's Monday & it's challenge Time!

Hi, everyone--just snagging Joy's post for a sec to post about this freebie:

This is my entry for week 2 of Capture the Flag over at Funky Playground Designs. ***DOWNLOAD EXPIRED*** Wish me luck!

Back to Joy, with this week's challenge!

Howdy SuzyQ fans! QT Joy here to bring you my first ever challenge. And we will call this challenge "Choose Older, Make-over!". Think my title is witty enough? LOL!

What do you have to do for this challenge? Choose one of your earlier LO's/pages, and do a make-over, as simple as that. But you have to follow these 2 rules:

1) Use the same picture/pictures. You cannot add, nor remove/delete. E.g. If your 'original' page has 3 pics, your make-over one should also have the same pics.

2) Use the same Title.

Other than these rules, you can do anything to 'beautify' your make-over page. Also, you have to provide a link/or include an image in your description, to the original layout/page, so we could see the difference.

And to make it more clear, here is my sample:

This is one of the first pages I did, while I was still grasping the idea of digital scrapbooking.. (And please, don't laugh, because it really is cringe-worthy!LOL!)

I don't even know how to add a drop-shadow on my own!! And that title image was something I got from a blinkie/glitter site! LOL!

And, here it is, after a major make-over..

It is a much better version, don't you think? I used SuzyQ's Mad Scientist kit for this page. This kit is one of my favorite SuzyQ creations, since the colors and elements are very versatile, and can be used for boy or girl pages..

Sooo, start choosing that older page, make-over that old layout, make it look more amazing! And link us up to your pages here in the comment section, and who knows, you might be one of our lucky winner of a $5 gift certificate to Suzy's store! And you don't have to use SuzyQ products to enter/join, but she has lots of lovely kits that you could choose from, and also freebies which you can find here on the blog, so why not? ;)

This challenge ends on April 19th, 9pm EST. Go now, choose & scrap!! :)

QT out!

CHOO-CHOO! Ready for some FREEBIES?

Good morning, and a Happy Easter to you!!!

These eggs were made using some of my Eggshells (CU friendly) and 2 of my kits. If you'd like these eggs, click on the egg below. ;)
