Recipe Challenge!

Hi everyone! Kiki here with a fun recipe challenge for you! I think you'll enjoy it, just wait and see. This coming week is Thanksgiving in the United States, which means lots of cooking, family, shopping! Are you ready for it?

This week's challenge is based on the Thanksgiving date this year in the US. So this year Thanksgiving falls on November 25, 2010. So here's our numbers: 11, 25, 20, 10. So, to participate in the challenge here's what I need to see on your layout using Kristin's products:

November is the 11th month. So use 1 solid paper and 1 patterned paper (you thought I'd make you use 11 of something?)
2 photos
5 different flowers
20 words or more in your journalling
10 buttons (they can be the same button repeated 10 times)

So get to work, have fun with it, and come back here and post a link to your layout using Kristin's products (at least some of her products), and I'll select a winner at random on November 30th.

Happy Sunday Recipe Challenge

Happy Sunday everyone! Kiki here once again. Boy is it just me or did Summer fly by this year. Seems like just last week I was walking on a beach in Nova Scotia enjoying the warm sunshine. Our Fall here has started out very strange...all rainy and warm. Go figure. Hope you are having a great start to Fall. It's an exciting time of year, when leaves change colour and we get ready to close up the cottages and stay indoors more. You know what that means? More scrapbooking! Yes, now that we will be stuck indoors with the increasingly cooler weather that means that we'll be ready to get back to our love of scrapbooking with a vengeance.

Did you enjoy Kristin's birthday week celebration? There have been so many amazing layouts created with Kristin's products as a result of the challenges. When you get a chance, check out the gallery at Sweet Shoppe Designs to see what I mean. I definitely added a few layouts to my favourites to scraplift later.

So are you ready to start your week with a great recipe challenge? No I promise I won't make you use 30 buttons or flowers...

Make sure that you use Kristin's products in the layout and once you've completed your layout, post a link to it here so that we can put your name into the draw for a gift certificate for a kit of your choice from Kristin's store. Here's your recipe:

4 papers
4 ribbons
5 buttons
3 journal tags or mats
3 types of greenery

That's it. Go to it folks and I'll come back next week to find out who's in the draw, and select a winner at random. Have an awesome week!

Time for a Recipe Challenge!

Hi everyone. Kiki here, and I have to say that I am not too impressed by the cold front that has moved into this area. Where is spring? It could have snowed today if it were cloudy. At least the sun is shining. That will at least warm my spirits.

Have you been enjoying March and the SSD Porfolio Challenges? March is almost over and I'm looking forward to April. Time really flies doesn't it?

Our winner of our LOVE challenge we had in February is disneyaddict. So she'll be enjoying some of Kristin's Products as our winner.

And since we didn't have any entries for the last challenge, I'm keeping it open:

Create a spring LO with the following:

1 font
1 alpha
2 ribbons or strings
2 journaling tags
3 papers
at least 3 photos that tell a story
4 frames
4 buttons
5 flowers and /or leaves

Use Kristin's products in creating this layout and you'll have a chance to win some of her fabulous products. What are you waiting for? Winter? LOL - have fun this Friday!

4-3-2-1 Recipe Challenge

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to be back with another recipe challenge for you! I'm calling this one the countdown challenge because here at home we are still waiting for winter to really hit us. The weather has been warming up, and the snow has been melting, which is not good for Canada's capital winter festival called Winterlude. We have the world's longest outdoor skating rink here, and I'm afraid that if the weather warms up too much we won't be able to skate this winter. I love skating and am anxious to get on that rink! So for the countdown to real winter weather, here's your challenge:

4 - papers
3 - ribbons
2 - photos
1 - frame

Use that recipe for your layout using Kristin's products and post a link to your layout in the comments. I'll come back and pick one of them at random to win a GC to Kristin's store.

Have fun everyone!
