Is there even such a holiday? LOL!
I truly believe this is the first Leap Year I can recall! I am fully aware that there have been others as I'm 31 years old but I cannot remember a single one.
I know you are all busy trying to earn your friendz pointz for the month (submissions due by midnight tonight!) so I want load you up with anything hard. Today take a picture of something. It can be anything you want but it must be taken today! Share it with us and get 3 pointz. Create a layout with it today and get 10! Remember it must be shared by midnight tonight (CST) to qualify!
Have a great day and an even better weekend!

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Supportive |
 You are almost like a life coach for your best friends. You give them help when they need it... but you also know when to give them a push. People tend to rely on you for moral support and advice. You've probably always been mature for your age, so this is a role that's you're comfortable with. A friend like you is one of the rarest kinds. You are both a good mentor and companion. Your friends need you most when: They are confused or worried You really can't be friends with: Someone who only wants to complain Your friendship quote: "The only way to have a friend is to be one." |

Technique Tuesday
Today's technique is "Hidden Journaling". Last night, I taught a class at my church. We created a page using this technique. There are so many fun ways to hide your journaling or even memorabilia or photos on your pages. I thought I'd share a few ideas with you today.
This is the page we created for our Monthly Scrapbooking With Scripture Class. We "hid" our journaling by making a flap from our matted photo.
This is the page we created for our Monthly Scrapbooking With Scripture Class. We "hid" our journaling by making a flap from our matted photo.
To create a flap is so easy, and can be done on both horizonal & vertical photos. Simply extend your mat 1 inch on the side you want your flap to be. Fold the extra back and adhere only that strip to your page.
Another fun technique is to create a hidden pocket. For this LO, I simply made a "pocket" out of Cardstock and placed it behind my photo mat. I then made a tag for my journaling with a pull tab and slid it into the pocket. Quick & Easy!
I'd love to see the creative ways you've hidden journaling or memorabilia, etc.
E-mail us a photo of your page where you've "hidden" something and I'll give you 8 FRIENDZ POINTZ!!!! Our e-mail addy is now: scrapfriendzy@windstream.net
Don't forget, you've got until 5 pm today to post "what you love about ScrapFriendzy" in last night's post to be eligible for the drawing for 10 Bonus FPz!!! {See post below for more details}And check back often this week....I'm feeling really generous with the FPz!!!!

Cheryl's Monday Motivation
I can't stand to throw away my scraps! You know, you do a page or 2 & may never use that paper to scrap another page, but you don't want to throw it away.
Well I want to give you a tip,( actually came from Amy) that I have started doing & I love it! As soon as you finish a page before you clean up your mess.....make a card or 2. That way you are using some more of your paper AND getting some cards made too!
Also, when I have a good bit of a set of paper left, but don't want to use it again, I have started putting it in a bag to give to someone else. I may give it to one of my daughters or grandaughters, or even take it to our monthly scrapclass to give away. You know, one persons trash is another persons treasure!
For 3 friendz points.....either make a card out of some of your scraps or give some paper away. Comment on this link & let us know what you did.
Have a great week & get to scrappin'!

Technique Tuesday
Happy Tuesday, girlies!!! Hope you've all had a great start to the week! For this week's Technique Tuesday, let's talk paint!
The possibilities with paint are endless! There are so many fun & creative ways we can use it on our LOs.
On this recent LO, I used paint in a variety of ways...
As you can see here, I used paint to create a border around my black & white photos. I just brushed the paint around the edge of my photo to create a frame instead of a traditional mat.
Here, I used paint around the edge of a Heidi Swapp Ghost shape to make it stand out on my page.
I did the same technique below with the HS Ghost letters.
I also painted naked chipboard swirls and then doodled on them with my Zig Writer after they dried.
I hope this inspires you to use paint on a LO soon! Be creative...see what fun ways you can use paint to make your pages stand out above the rest!

Wacky Wednesday
Happy Happy Hump Day!! It's the day before Valentine's!! Aren't you so excited?! I was so inspired by this weeks Monday Motivation. If you haven't read it yet, I encourage you to go back and read. It gives you something to think about! Showing those around us that we love them is so important. And realizing that the best thing we can do for them sometimes is to pay attention to them!! I know with me personally, its so easy to get caught up in my busy schedule and find myself blocking out the little voices saying,"Momma! Momma!", when those are the ones I should be paying most attention to. So, spread some love this week, and let those closest to you know you care!
Ok. So what's up with the vase full of candy?? I knew you were wondering. So, here's the deal. You have to guess how many conversation hearts are in our vase! So much fun!!! Email your guess to scrapfriendzy@yahoo.com. Whoever get the guesses closest to the correct amount wins 15 Friendz Pointz!!!
Comment here and let us know you are guessing, and email your answer! Simple! You've got until midnight (CST) on Friday Feb 15 to submit your guess!!
Happy Valentine's Day!!

Technique Tuesday
This week is Valentine's Day, and I know many of you are needing to produce some amazing handmade Valentines for the ones you love.....it doesn't have to be stressful! It can be quick and easy by following this super fast Card Sketch. Just dig through your paper scraps and throw together a quick card that will impress anyone on your Valentine List!!
I created this card in just a few minutes using only scraps of paper & ribbon. I added a pop-dot under the heart to add dimension.
Here's Ronda's take on this sketch:
Here is Cheryl's vertical card version of the sketch:
And to prove just how simple & fun following a card sketch can be....here's my 9 year old, Ally's version:
How cool is that?!! It doesn't even have to be a Valentine's Day card. Ally chose to use a flower instead of a heart.
So did Brandi! Here's her "Shabby Chic" take on the sketch:
Her card would be perfect for any occasion!
With cards this quick & easy....who needs Hallmark!!! ;)
Wanna earn a few Friendz Pointz this week? Complete a card using this sketch and I'll give you 5 FRIENDZ POINTZ!!! Just e-mail a photo of your card to us at scrapfriendzy@windstream.net and put "card sketch" in the subject.
Have a super scrappy Tuesday!

Love Month
Hey girlZ,
Years ago a elderly lady gave me a little saying that she had found in a Readers Digest & I have never forgotten it. It said, "The greatest compliment you can pay someone is attention." With my busy life sometimes I find myself not even really listening or giving attention to those I love the most.
I know we all scrap because we love our family & friends & want to leave a legacy of love in our scrapbooks. But since this is "love month" lets remember to spend some extra time & attention on those we love. Let them know not only through your scrappin' but by the special attention you give them that they mean the world to you.

January Girlfriend Of The Month
Here she is!!! Meet our January GFOTM.....Wendi Robinson!!!
Hello My name is Wendi and I am seriously WAY addicted to scrappin!!! I started scrappin before my first baby was born and became obsessed about 3 1/2 years ago... I LOVE scrapbook product as well as creating pages, cards, and love toe alter things. I mainly scrap my family which means the world to me... My hottie husband Jeremy and two kids, Austin and Sydney. We moved from Cali- where I was born and raised and I miss the beach everyday. My favorite things in the world are: Reece's, Diet Cherry Pepsi, my ipod, Depeche Mode and my fave tv shows.... I try and be outside as much as possible, and am looking forward to summer. I found this blog from Amy and am SUPER excited!!!!
Here is a sample of Wendi's amazing work!

Ronda's Wacky Wednesday
Happy Wednesday!! Hope your day has gotten off to a good start! If not, well , you are halfway through the week...Friday will be here soon! :) I have a little quiz that will be a fun distraction to break up the mid-week madness! Valentine's Day is approaching very soon, so here is a fun and festive quiz for you: What does your candy heart say? This is what I came up with:
| Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me" |
 Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking What turns you off: fighting and conflict Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love |
Also......Don't forget there are many ways to rack up on some Friendz Pointz!!! We will be posting a tally soon to see where you all stand so far! There are many challenges and games you can participate in to earn Friendz Pointz. If you can't remember them, just check out the column to the right where we have the links posted for your convienence!! Aren't we just the best? LOL
***OOps!! Almost forgot! Today is the last day to email your answers for the Wacky Word Scramble! Most of you turned in answers, and I think one of you had everything but one!!! There is still time to guess !

Technique Tuesday
Happy Tuesday! Hope you are all having a great week! Today's technique is one I love to do!
Create a fun border on your layouts using your sewing machine or hand stitching.
The possibilities are endless! On this layout, I simply stitched around the black cardstock over and over in a whimsical pattern to create this stitched border. It adds a fun texture and interest to the page.
If you do not have a sewing machine, you can get the same effect by using a hole piercer and hand stitch your thread. There are many patterns you can follow. It's a fun technique...give it a try!
Post a link in your comment on this post to a page where you've sewn a border (or e-mail it to us) and I'll give you 5 Friendz Pointz!!!
Thanks to all of you who submitted projects for the January Girlfriend Of The Month Contest.....WOW!!! Amazing projects!! We are having a tough time judging them!! We will be announcing the winner ASAP!!
Also...don't forget....there are lots of fun ways to earn Friendz Pointz this week: One day left to get your Wacky Word Scramble finished, two days left to finish your Challenge Thursday Sketch, and three days to get your TGIF red, white & black card finished!!! Get busy people!!! {For more info on each, see the fast links to the right of this post!}
Have a great one!!!

Cheryl's Monday Motivation
O.K. Let me give you something to think about. What kind of things interest you about the past? It is always interesting to me to hear people talk about the cost of things years ago, or to look at the books or cards that tell us what songs or movies were popular in certain years.
So, I think it will be interesting to future generations to see a scrapbook page with information about our time. Maybe do a page about the year you were born, or the year you married......The President was.... Bread cost.... the most popular movie was... Anyway, you get the idea!
Here is a page that I did a few years age about my son's first day of Sr. year. It was funny because even though it was only a few years ago, the prices seemed cheap to me. The journaling strips give the price of his shirt, jeans, shoes, & backpack, then the bottom strip says, "Watching you grow up...PRICELESS!
Have a great week & get to scrappin'!

TGIF!
Remember when I said my "resolution" this year was to do something scrappy each day? Well, I feel that making cards falls under that category. This month at Simply Obsessed we are having a Card Carnival. Much like January's Layout A Day challenge, there will be a challenge posted each day, along with examples to get you going. Today's challenge was to create a card using just red, black, and white. A perfect challenge to get those Valentine's cards out of the way! I, of course, have not made mine today yet but here's one I did a while back that fits this challenge perfectly.
I would love to see you take this challenge too! Create a "new" card using only red, black, and white, link it up here and you will get 3 Friendz Pointz! I'd also love to see you join the month long challenge over at SO. Drop in if you get a chance.
