Supreme Scrappin' Challenge

I've been totally MIA this summer.  Yikes!  The kids went back to school last week, except my cute little kindergartener who starts tomorrow, so I'm back, too!  Did you know that Brownie Scraps is celebrating our 2nd birthday this year?  Of course, that means lots of fun and prizes and sales -- and you should not miss it!  This fabulous Supreme Scrappin' Challenge starts on Wednesday and you still have time to sign up if you hurry!  So head on over to this thread at the forum and sign up for a chance to win some fabulous prizes and a guest Supreme spot!

She's baaaaack!!!

Do you want to hear some completely amazing news???  Ramona the Pest Designs is BACK!!!  Yay!  She took a 6-month break from designing and just re-opened her store today.  As always, she does not disappoint with this fabulous new kit, Sail Away.

Don't you just love it?  Pefect colors for July and fun sailing elements.  When you buy the collection you also receive 2 fabulous alphas, a super template pack and a gorgeous word art set.  Check this out.

And it gets even better.  Right now you can get the whole bundle for 25% off!!!  Here are a few pages from me for a little inspiration.

 

This one of my adorable nephew at the beach was made with a template from Ramona the Pest.  She makes such fabulous templates!  Be sure to click on over to the store today and snag this super kit while it's on sale!

It's Family Reunion Time!

When I was a younger, every year during the last weekend in June my family would make the looooong drive to Southern Utah for the Swapp family reunion.  I have so many wonderful memories of spending time with my wonderful family there and reconnecting with loved ones I only saw that one time every year.  In recent years, the reunion has moved to a different location and a different time, but this weekend I'm feeling kind of nostalgic and wishing I was in southern Utah with my family, introducing my girls to long lost cousins and enjoying the battle of the clans, scavenger hunt, fish pond, pot luck, campfire songs...  Oh my, I miss it.  Lucky for me, Brownie Scraps is a very special site with a family-like atmosphere, and so this July we decided it was time to celebrate that feeling of family we all enjoy there with a Scrapping Family Reunion!  Yay! 

The Brownie Supremes have been so busy planning this event and it is going to be SO much fun.  We have so many activities for all to enjoy.  EVERYONE can participate, but only those wearing the official family reunion name tag will get the chance to earn fabulous prizes!!  That nametag is included when you buy the Family Reunion Ticket, which also includes this fabulous kit.

Awesome, right???  The ticket price is $5 through the end of June and goes up to $7 on July 1 - still totally worth the price, but why not get it in the next few days and save a few dollars? ;)  Get your ticket here and then check out this thread for all the family reunion fun!  There's not much there now, but all the events will be posted on July 1.  You don't want to miss it!!!

Just for fun I made a little coordinating word art pack freebie that you can snag here.  Enjoy!

Happy May!

So, um, it's been a month since I posted.  Sorry about that.  I've been frantically trying to get my house ready to put up for sale.  We have a meeting with the realtor on Friday, and I'm not ready (and should not be on the computer right now), but I just had to show you some stuff that's going on at Brownie Scraps, my digi-scrap home. 

First of all, I am one of the new Brownie Supremes!  Yay!!!!  I am so excited to show off some more fabulous creations from the Brownie Scraps designers!  If you've never been to Brownie Scraps, you really ought to check it out.  I've been to forums all over digi-land, but there's no place that feels like home like Brownie Scraps does.  We have some great challenges going on this month.  In fact, I'm even hosting one - it's a recipe challenge you can find here.  And this is the LO I made as the example. 

I used Marti Scraps' new(ish) kit MMgood.  The colors are so fun, and the kit is fabulous! 

Speaking of Marti Scraps, if you're like me and don't have your Mother's Day gifts ready yet, she has this fabulous kit out just in time, A Special Lady.  It's really beautiful.  Here's a page I made with it:

So hurry over to Brownie Scraps today and join in the fun!  I'll see you there!

New Store, New CT, and a Speed Scrap

Hello, my internet friends!  It's good food Friday AND I have a fun announcement to make!  We have a new designer at Brownie Scraps -- Marti Scraps!!  I simply love her work, so I sort of begged to be on her CT and she said yes!  YAY!!!    In celebration of her new store, she's hosting a not-so-speedy scrap tonight.  We usually spend so much time chatting at Brownie speed scraps that the actual scrapping is anything but speedy and the 'deadline' gets extended. lol!  She's offering a fabulous participation prize, so you MUST join us tonight at 9 pm CST here at Brownie Scraps.

And the celebration doesn't end there.  She already has a fabulous store and she's offering everything in it on sale for 25% off.  You can check it out here, and I think you'll see why I begged to be on her CT ;)  Come on and check it out!

And now for some good food.  Unless you've been living in a cave, I'm sure you know all about kevin and amanda.  You know she has adorable free fonts and other fun stuff, but have you checked out her recipe page???  Oh  my goodness, she has some delicious food there.  Mouthwatering yumminess!  I'm sure everything is positively scrumptious, but I've only tried a few so far.  Believe me, the rest are on my list...  So I'll show you my favorites, and if you find yourself a different favorite, don't forget to come back and share with the class... ;) 

These might kill you, but it would be worth it.  So yummy.  Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken

And if you're a pasta lover, you'll thank me for pointing you in this direction.  And if you're not a pasta lover, you'll definitely want to try the chicken anyway.  Perfect, Creamy, Fettuccini Alfredo

Enjoy some good food and have a great weekend!!!
