Hi everyone!
Since we have Valentine´s Day just around a corner, a list of your top 10 favorite romantic movies seems just the right thing to scrap about! I made mine using a kit from our new designer Siamese Studios here at ScrapMatters:

Now I hope you´re excited to see my list and I can tell you that it was hard to narrow it down to only ten:

Now I´m really excited to see your pages and read YOUR lists. I wonder how many of mine you´ll pick to yours?
Have a great day!/ Carina

Well, it is almost time for Valentine’s Day. If you house is anything like ours, Cupid has been fast at work.
We draw names and have “secret” Cupids for a week. So arrows have been shot all over the house. In honor of this fun holiday, let’s create a layout with arrows on it (our next challenge). Here is the layout I created with Stolen Moments’s arrows:

And my layout:

Notice that the arrows don’t have to be bold, they can be subtle to draw your eye into where you want it.
Let’s see what you can come up with!

Hello everyone,
Kayla aka keepscrappin here with today’s challenge, so dust off those scissors and warm up the printer cuz we’re going hybrid today.
7. Let’s get hybrid: Create a Valentine! It can be a traditional card, a candy wrapper cover or something else!
I decided to keep it simple today and used Simply J Studio’s Pillow Box Template and the February Mix-a-kit items from Down This Road Designs.

Just clip your papers to the template and print on cardstock. Then, sized the heart to fit on the pillow box and turned off all the other layers. Then I printed the heart on a separate sheet of cardstock. Cut them out and tied the box with a little string for a quick and easy pillow box to put a little treat in for my sweet heart. Gotta love simple and cute.
You don’t have to make a pillow box. You can make a card, candy wrapper, tag or whatever your heart desires, just make sure you print it out and take a photo of your creation so we can see your finished product.
CT member Kairyn Lisa made this adorable Valentine’s Party Invitation to give you more ideas on how to do this challenge.

Hope ya’ll have fun with this one and as always keepscrappin’ along with us here for February’s Bingo Challenges.

Hi there! Fran here to inspire you to use this piece of graphic art in some way on a layout. You can use the rings like I did, or the scattering like Kayla did (I did that too!… can’t resist a good scatter!) Or any other way you feel inspired by this image. Maybe the colors or something else will inspire you! Here is the art:

And my layout using Fresh Start by Simply Kat Designs

And a layout by Kayla, thanks!
