THE ART OF GIVING

THE ART OF GIVING: Thanks for stopping by and getting involved in this great opportunity. In starting off the new year, Christine and I decided to put together a challenge blog that would not only provide you with inspiration and free goodies, but to also let you know about the many ways we can "PAY IT FORWARD" to others in our lives...in simple and GIGANTIC ways. We hope that in combining both inspiration and giving to others, we can all make this world a better place, one layout, card, and gesture at a time. Thank you for taking this journey with us.

Scrap it Forward's First Blog Hop!  

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

Hello all! The past three months have been wonderful!!! We have had a lot of new faces here! A lot of new readers, a lot of new friends, a lot of new challenges and a new design team to boot! It has been fantastic!!! The inspiration has been wonderful, the teamwork has been fantastic and I couldn’t be happier. I am so very pleased with it all.


To celebrate what a huge success that it all has been, the Scrap it Forward team has decided to host its very first BLOG HOP! WooHoo! And…It all starts today, Wednesday, June 23rd! This Blog Hop will last for one week…so you have until the 30th to visit each and every one of our blogs! I know you can do it!

So let me tell you how it is all going to work, it is rather simple you see…. This is our current guest DT’s send off. Sadly their terms are ending and we want to send them off in a special way. So go visit their blogs…give them a little love…and in return each member will have a little RAK for one random reader.

You must first visit Illyse’s blog…you can follow this link…. She will then tell you where to go next and the following DT member will share with you which blog to go to next etc. etc. If you happen to visit each blog, then come back here and let us know. ONE lucky winner will be entered into a drawing to receive this RAK below, but remember… you must go to each DT member’s personal blog and leave a post. 

All winners will be announced on July 1st! So good luck and pass the word on!

Dear Ol' Dad Challenge  

Monday, June 7, 2010

So the time is near to recognize our fathers, or our children’s father’s. Or as I like to call them, “our dear old dads”. They are good at fixing things and carrying heavy stuff, and yet, so much more. So this month we will recognize them …as we should!


Whether it is your own dad or the one who does such a good job with the kidlings, let’s let them know how much they are appreciated. This month our challenge is to make a layout, a card or even a gift showing the men or the daddies in our lives that they certainly are appreciated. Yes it is that simple. And the funny thing is..for doing so..one of you will still wind up getting a prize for doing so… now that ain’t half bad ;0) !

Here is what our Design team came up with this time around:

Illyse's Layout


Vicki's Layout

Julie's Layout


Christine's Card



And here is the fun prize just for you :0) some great chip board given to us from Cherry Arte and manly rub-ons from The Robin’s Nest !
 
This challenge will run from today, Monday, June 7 through Sunday , June 20th. A winner will be announced on Monday, June 21st. You’ve got just about 2 weeks to participate on this one, so get those projects, cards, gifts or layouts done and linked back to us. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
