I hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend so far. To continue the month’s flower theme today’s challenge is to use one of my favorite quotes on your layout: “Earth laughs in flowers.” by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Here are two inspiration layouts:

Hi all, Carolyn (calliclaire) here to bring you today’s challenge:
BB Challenge: the only elements you can use on your page need to begin with the letter B – buttons, bows, brads, beads, borders, blue, brown, BIG, bold, beautiful.
Well, I thought I was so clever thinking up this challenge, but when it came down to making a layout I really struggled! I am so used to putting anything I want on the page that it was hard to think outside the box. But I love how mine turned out. I used lots of buttons, bursts, bows, brads and blue! Be creative. I probably would not have used all these BURSTS without the challenge, but I am happy with them all over my layout.
I used Gimme Layers iNSD Template Grab Bag by Cluster Queen Creations and Pop! Ellies, Pop! Dot Alpha, Kraft-tacular papers, and Pop! Kraft Brights from geniaBeana:
Hope you have as much fun with this challenge as I had! Don’t forget to check out the whole list of May’s Bingo Challenges here, and play along for some fantastic prizes.
Happy Scrapping!

Hello, Chel here to show you a fun little thing – how to change the color of your font in PSE. I am hoping it works the same in other programs too!
Step 1: Type your title/journaling – I find that it is easier when you’re learning to start in on a blank file
Step 2: Create a blank layer above your text and clip it to your text (ctrl + G in PSE)
Step 3: Select the Gradient Tool
Step 4: From the Gradient Picker drop down box choose what colors you like
Step 5: Choose a pattern
Step 6: With the blank layer selected, left click your mouse on the file (a cross will appear) and drag your mouse across your text.
Step 7: Play with the colors and the position of the pattern (by moving your starting point to different places on the text) to your hearts content!
Cant wait to see what you create!!

Hello!! HollyinPA here. Sorry for the late post…here is today’s Bingo Challenge. Today’s is a Line It Up Challenge. Gardens are planted in rows so feature at least 4 photos on your page to make a row (vertically or horizontally) on your page! I always have difficulty using multiple photos on the same page. Here are a couple of layouts to get you going.
First up is from Carolyn(calliclaire) using Mye De Leon’s Template Grab Bag and LDrag’s PU Grab Bag. Such adorable photos and I LOVE the clustering she did!
Carol(iowan) made this great layout using a different perspective, literally! I love that the photos are from a little one in the car!! What an awesome idea!! She used 2012 iNSD PU Grab Bag (click) by LDrag Designs Template: Gimme Sketchy Layers Template Grab Bag by Cluster Queen Creations and geniaBeana Scraps
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Happy Scrappin’!

We’re going to chat up a strom, have fun and you could win big so please set a reminder in your phones and visit with us?
Hello there, Stefanie here. Is it only me that feels that April should have had 31 days before May arrived at the speed of a freight train?
Today’s challenge is a Color Challenge – Use the color of the flower from your birth month (see the chart below) to set the color scheme of your page!
My birthday is in July so I worked with red and green.
I used You and Me by Picture Designs and Gimme layers volume 24 by Cluster Queen Creations.
Carol’s birthday is in May so she worked with Jonquils.
Just fabulous, I love the clusters she creates.
If you’d like to join in you”ll find the list of challenges and some instructions, here.
We’d love to see your creations.
