Home Tweet Home

I have a new kit out called Home Tweet Home.  It's been in my store since the beginning of May but I'm officially releasing it today!  This kit was originally inspired by a quilt we made for my youngest niece which has such cute little birds in it.  Then I decided I should combine birds and homes.  I changed the colors from the quilt too and I just love how it turned out!  Whether you have lived in your house for 1 week or 25 years, you can use this kit to scrap your house.  But that's not it-this kit is so versatile!  You can scrap pretty much ANY picture!  Here's a look at the kit which is 25% off all month long!

I made an add on of this kit for the Use It Or Lose It Challenge at Stuff to Scrap this month.   You can get this kit free the entire month of May to use for the challenge

Take a look at what my CT did with this kit.

Gorgeous work!  I hope you all love this kit as much as I do!  Before you go be sure to check out what kits I have in the $2 bin today.  Mommy's Little Boy and and Sweet Lil Stinker.

A Sale and Robotics

Don't forget that my entire store (plus the entire STS store) is 40% off from today through May 11th.  Make sure to go grab things while they are at a great price!

Since you're at the store checking out the sale, you should check out Scraps by Andrea's latest kit called Robotics.  It's a great kit for tech photos or pretty much any little boy or man photo.  The robots in the kit are so cute!  Here's a look at the kit.

Here are my layouts.  I made one for a speed scrap and one for one of the STS birthday challenges.

I also made a freebie for you.  This time I made a page starter.  All you need to do is pick up the kit, add a picture or more and some elements and your page will be done!  Here's the page starter.

Progressive Scrap Step 5

Are you all enjoying the progressive scrap so far?  I can't wait to see all your layouts!  Here's step 5:

Create a cluster using at least 1 flower, 1 leaf (or bunch of leaves), one swirl (or swirly ribbon/string) and at least 2 more elements in the corner of one of your photos. 2 or more of your elements should be under your photo and it's mat.
Tomorrow you need to head to Designs by Snowlady's blog for your next step.

Here are the instructions:
~ Each day, for7 days, visit the designer's blog and follow the step that they give you.
~ If you don't get started on day 1, don't worry, you can go back and follow the steps to get caught up.
~ After you have completed your layout, upload it to the gallery and then post it here in this thread in the forum, remember to link it back to the gallery too please.
~ Progressive scrap layouts need to be posted here in the forum by midnight May 15th to be included in the prize drawings.
~ Watch your inbox for a PM saying that you won a prize from one of the random drawings. Drawing for progressive scrap prizes will be drawn on May 16th, excluding the grand prize $50 gift certificate for Persnickety Prints which will be drawn on June 1st after all the birthday challenges are complete.

Facebook Challenges

Want to win some goodies from me?  I'm starting some challenges on my Facebook fan page.  Make sure that you're a fan of mine on Facebook (I'm also going to start exclusive freebies for fans so stay tuned).  This is what you can win with this 4 week challenge starting today.

Each week you'll be directed to find a layout done by one of my CT members or myself (you'll be given clues as to which LO and where you can find it).  When you find that LO, scraplift it using one of my kits and post the LO on my Facebook wall.  You'll have 1 week to complete the challenge.  If you complete the challenge in time, you will get 1 of the templates for free (leave me your email address or email me at beckycards{at}sbcglobal{dot}net to get the download link).  If you complete all the 4 challenges, not only will you get all the templates but you will also get a coupon to my store for 50% off!

Now what if you aren't on Facebook?  Have no fear!  I will also post the challenge here on my blog and you can post your layout at either the Stuff to Scrap B2N2 Scraps gallery or in the Brownie Scraps guest Bakers gallery and then post a link in the comments of this post.

I think I've explained it all.  If you have questions, just post a comment!  Your first challenge is:

Look on my blog for a layout by Brooke that has kids in a "box". Scraplift this layout, of course using any of B2N2 Scraps kits.  Layouts are due by 5/9 at 1 pm CST.

Can't wait to see your LOs!

Grand Opening!

I just opened my store at Brownie Scraps as a guest designer for the months of May, June and July.  I'm so excited to be there!  I have a couple kits there and I am going to be releasing other kits there in the next month.  Today I just released my kit Everyday and Everyday Add on at Brownie Scraps.  You can get these 2 kits for 25% off today only!  Images are linked to my store there.

More May BAKs

The Scrappy Kat has put together 3 pieces for the May BAKs this month.   She has a worn paper paper, a paper pack and an element pack.  Her theme is summer sports- so you get a little bit if everything in these packs!  Here are her packs.

Here's my layout that I made for this month's template challenge at STS.  I love to make double page layouts but I never know how to make them look different.  I tend to make my pages symmetrical.  I love that this one isn't!

I forgot to tell you yesterday about the new Cu grab bag and the new collab.  Here are the previews that are linked to the store.  This month's collab is awesome!

May BAK

I just loved this month's colors for the BAKs and the theme was great-summer sports.  I wanted to do something different so I chose to make a beach/surfing kit.  I thought the colors looked a little tropical so I made the kit so that it would also work for tropical vacation pictures.  I made an element pack and a paper pack.  Images are linked.

Take a look at what my CT did with this kit. I think their layouts show you how versatile this kit can be!
