September 2015 Guest Designer Craft Challenges

Can you believe September is almost over?  We wanted to send you a reminder just in case you haven't uploaded your projects to one or ALL of this month's Guest Designer Challenges!


Screenname: Cnmommy

First name: Crystal

Favorite Color: Red for décor but blue for everything else



I mostly create: I currently seem to be making a great deal of single layouts with multiple 3X4 pictures. I love combining 2-6 4X6 photos on one 4X6 to get as many photos on a single layout as I can.
I still have a soft spot for double layouts! Creating home décor items also allows me to express myself and make pretty things!

I started scrap booking in the loosest sense of the word way back in high school (circa 96-99). I still have those books -decorative cut pictures and all! I didn't do too much more throughout college and my Army career, but I was always creative. I kept planners, calendars, created cards, and home décor items. When we found out I was pregnant in 2007 I was bitten by the scrappy bug HARD.

Favorite Color: Red for décor but blue for everything else


My craft supply 'must have': Now this is not a fair question! I cannot possibly pick one item (can anyone? LOL!) I will go with two - double sided patterned paper and my Silhouette Cameo, with those two items I could make just about anything I needed/wanted.

I mostly create: I currently seem to be making a great deal of single layouts with multiple 3X4 pictures. I love combining 2-6 4X6 photos on one 4X6 to get as many photos on a single layout as I can.
I still have a soft spot for double layouts! Creating home décor items also allows me to express myself and make pretty things!


Layout: 'Bday Boy' (Challenge - Non Standard Photos)

Layout: 'Don't Be Crabby' (Sketch Challenge)


The Story: At the very end of summer these two could not get along for anything. After numerous redirections, time outs, exercise outside etc I could not take it anymore and forced them to hug one another for five solid minutes. You would have thought I was making them torturing them or something. 

They then had to say two nice things about the other. It actually worked and we have only had to mention it once more! Funny since they LOVE to hug cuddle and love on one another!

products used:

Summer Days 12x12 Paper - Fun In The Sun - Pebbles Tiny Wood Veneer Die Cut Hearts - Printshop - Studio Calico Guacamole Little Bits - Bella Blvd
