Design Team Call at Scrap For Therapy.

We are looking for 4 new designers to join us as we continue to work at getting Scrap For Therapy started! This is our second ever DT call, and we will be making many changes this term. Scrap For Therapy is a scrapbooking forum, and we will be incorporating our brand new blog into it starting this term. The DT term will be 3 months, starting October 1, and running through December 31.

Requirements: Each DT member will be required to complete a layout every other week based on the sketches given to you. Sketches are posted all at once a few weeks before they are due, giving you plenty of time to finish them. Also, DT members will post challenges, tutorials, and participate in any events that we may have going on. We understand that sometimes life gets in the way, we just ask that you communicate with us and we will be understanding.

We are unable to compensate you at this time. Our blog and forum is just for the love of the craft!

To submit, send the following to scrapfortherapy@gmail.com:
1) Name
2) Links to blogs and galleries
3) A brief bio
4) Design team experience (none is required!)
5) Why you would love to be apart of this team
6) At least 3 projects showing your current style and ability.

Please note: Preference will be given to those who create an account on the forum and are active so that we can get to know you better.

Boooo.. it's Monday, but yay for sketches!

Wow this weekend flew by!! We had a great weekend full of lots and lots of family time! We shopped pretty much all day on Saturday for some new clothes (yay!). By the way, the clearance section at Old Navy is a MUST right now! They actually had shorts for $1.97! And then yesterday was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It was warmer, though the wind was still a little chilly. We spent a lot of time outside playing with the little man though. The one thing about Monterey is that the parks here are amazing. We took Jonah to the Dennis the Menace park today, which we go to a lot. It's an awesome park, so if you have kids and ever visit the Monterey area, it should definitely be added to your agenda! Oh and I got a haircut! =) I like it a lot! My hair hasn't been this short since before Jonah.

Enough about that though. It's Monday. That means sketches! First up, we have Sketch 214 from Scrapbook Challenges.

And here's my take:


Next up, we have sketch 13 from Scrap For Therapy. SFT is a brand new forum that I've been helping out with in the past few months. I've been trying my hand at designing sketches. Though I'm still not very good at it, I'm designing SFT's sketches. Head to the forum and check it out and try out the sketches to be entered into the drawing for the monthly prize!

And here is what one of our wonderful DT member Katie Tennis did with it:


I sure do hope you all enjoyed the Scrap That Baby blog hop! (Winners will be announced on the 25th!) I REALLLLY hope you all enjoyed it.... because there will be 2 more coming your way here soon, within days of each other. Keep a look out for those at the beginning of September!

New Momenta projects

I've been busy lately.. sorry that I haven't blogged in a bit. We spent some awesome quality family time over Memorial Day weekend. It was great! =) We actually spent the day Monday in Santa Cruz at the boardwalk. Lots of fun to be had up there! And I can't believe how different the weather was there than here. It was like summer finally! It was nice!

Anyways, I have done a few Momenta projects lately.

Here's a take-out box using the Endless Summer pad. Oh and those crinkled black alphas.. those are Momenta too! I love them!!


This one uses the Family Ties pad and earth tones cardstock! Oh my! I absolutely love the family ties pad! I definitely recommend it!! The paper is beautiful!! Nice simple patterns.


And lastly, I have this one. It also uses the Family Ties pad. And I also did this layout for Scrap For Therapy. I did a tutorial on how to weave using embroidery floss. Head over there and check it out!!


I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope you all are having a safe, fun-filled weekend! We've really had a great weekend of just family time. I'm not sure what's in store for today though. =) Just please remember while you're BBQing why you have this long weekend. Take a moment to remember all of the men and women who have given their lives in service to this country, as well as those that still continue to serve. I know a few people that will be celebrating this Memorial Day as their very first in memory of someone that they loved dearly. I'm also thinking of quite a few of my friends whose husbands are in Iraq and Afghanistan this Memorial Day. Be thankful for your friends and family!

I did this layout a few weeks ago for the new sketch going up at Scrapbook Challenges today. At the time, I didn't realize that it was going to be posted on Memorial Day.. but how fitting it is! I'm starting on Daniel's deployment album, so you all will probably start seeing more of those. I'm thinking that it definitely needs to be done before he leaves again. Anyways, I'm really excited that I finally get to post it today.. I'm realllly happy with how it turned out!


Here's the sketch:


If you do the sketch, feel free to upload it to the thread in the group and to the gallery and be entered to win the monthly sponsor prize!!

Also, there's a new challenge forum that you all should check out! It's just getting started, but of to Scrap for Therapy and set up an account!

Have a safe Memorial Day!!
