MAY IS HERE!!!!

Wow! This year is flying by!!! I can't believe it's already May!!! I am so excited about all the fun things going on here at SF. Our forum is up and running... almost got all the "kinks" out! I appreciate you being so supportive and patient!

We've got a few changes that I'd like to mention. Our goal is to get a Gallery up and running soon, BUT until that get's done, we will now ask that ALL challenges that you complete for FRIENDZ POINTZ be posted in that challenge's thread in the forum. It will make things so much easier when we are keeping up with everyone's pointz totals if it's all in one place. For those of you that are new to this online scrappy stuff... don't worry, I will be posting instructions on how to accomplish this in the forum. It's super easy! I know some of you would rather e-mail it to us, but I'm so afraid I'm going to miss something and not credit your pointz. I really appreciate your understanding... and if you ever have questions or concerns, PLEEEEEZ don't hesitate to ask!

April has been a total blast, but we have some really cool stuff planned for May!!

To kick off the month and to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day, we're gonna have a little party....a "MAY POINTZ FRIENDZY!!!"

Here's the scoop:

On Friday morning (May 2), we will be posting a list of challenges. Each challenge will have a FRIENDZ POINTZ value. You will have until Sunday, May4 at midnight (cst) to complete the challenges and post them in the forum. For every challenge you complete, your name will be entered into a drawing for a bonus 50 May FRIENDZ POINTZ!!! Check-in throughout the weekend, you never know when we'll throw a little bonus challenge at you!! This is a great way to kick of the month of May with extra FPZ!!

Wacky Wednesday!



Today is the last day for Friendz Pointz!!! You have until midnight (CST) tonight to complete challenges and get pointz for April. Aren't you having sooo much fun?! We have had some really awesome challenges and techniques this month!!! So much fun and inspiration!

I have something a little different for today's Wacky Wednesday challenge. It is a riddle! Read the riddle, and email your answer/guess to scrapfriendzy@windstream.net . Please put "riddle" in the subject line when emailing your guess. For a correct answer I'll award you with 20 Friendz Pointz, and just for attempting I'll give you 5 Friendz Pointz!! That's a pretty good deal right?! Alright, here is your challenge:


What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich don't want it,
and if you eat it, you will die?

Have fun girls!! Good Luck!!
Have a great day!!!

Technique Tuesday

The April FRIENDZ POINTZ Deadline is fast approaching!!! All April FP Projects are due by midnight(CST) Wednesday, April 30!! Less than 48 hours away!! Better get busy!!!
Since we don't have much time, today's technique is a really easy one...
Use Fabric Or Lace On A Page Or Card

I was totally unmotivated to scrap these pics for Beth's album until I saw this white eyelet lace with the red trim... it matched the girls' costumes perfectly!! It just screamed Mexico to me!!



I love playing with different fabrics, laces, or trims. They can add not only an interesting texture, but beauty to your projects! So check out your favorite fabric department and see what inspires you!! Give it a try!! E-mail us a pic of your project to scrapfriendzy@windstream.net or post your pic in this thread in the forum and I'll give you 10 FRIENDZ POINTZ !!


Don't forget, we're looking at the FPz Projects to determine our April GFOTM!! For more info, see the Girlfriend Of The Month Contest link on the right. Have a great Tuesday!!

Happy Monday Girlfriendz!!!!
Well since it is sooo close to the end of the month, I thought I would give you a little challenge that could be done in a matter of minutes. Make a card that is entirely WHITE! (Except for the writing of course) Do this & e-mail a pic or link to the forum & receive 5 extra friendzpointz!!! Who knows....that may be all you need to give you the most pointz for the end of April!

Here is an example that I just whipped out.....

Five For Friday

I know you all have them in your stash--Tags! They come in all shapes and sizes, solids and prints. I've really been using tags (and journaling spots) a lot lately as part of my design. I just tuck them here and there for added color and dimension. Create a layout or card with at least 2 tags to earn 5 Friendz Pointz. Be sure to share your creations on the SF forum! Due April 30.

Here is one I recently made. I used the die cut tags that came with this Basic Grey paper (Notice how old that pp is? I think it was one of their first collections! LOL!)


Can't wait to see what you come up with!

30-Minute Thursday

Hey Girlz!
Here is our challenge for today!

Simple Notecards

I always try to keep a variety of cards made up for different occasions. But, sometimes I wait until the last minute and realize I need a card for something, and don't have what I need. When you are in a pinch for time, this is a great solution. {Or you could buy one....but that is committing scrapbook sin! lol}


I created this notecard in less than 30 minutes using scraps. I cut a 5x8 piece of cardstock for my card. Using the scraps from my Pink Paislee Spring Fling Papers, I pieced together this notecard. { I know I am wearing out these Pink Paislee papers, but I love'em!} I trimmed down the strips of leftovers to fit my card, and inked them for dimension. I used my Cricut to cut out a flower and matted it on the square shapes. Then I added a brad to the center, and there you have it! You can always go back later and add a sentiment if you want.
For each simple notecard you create, I'll give you 5 Friendz Pointz each! Just Remember there is a deadline! April 30th, midnight {CST}!!!

~Ronda

Wacky Wednesday!!

Happy Wednesday Girlz!!
I have something fun and different for you to try this week for another way to earn Pointz before the deadline!!

See-through Sensations

This is a tip/trick that I have been wanting to play around with for a while. It's adding a see-through divider section to your page. There are many ways to do it, You can staple, sew, use glue dots...etc.






Here is what I did:
1. Cut a strip of paper from my 12x12 background.
2. Assemble your work on a mat or trimmer that has the measurements. I used another 12x12 sheet of paper as a guide to make sure my measurements weren't off.
3. After I had my page laid out, I adhered the clear elements to my page using glue dots. ( I used Heidi Swapp ghost flowers) Also, on the back, I added a strip of the KI Memories Pop Culture Lace Cardstock, just because it was also see-through.
Then voila'! You have a unique way to add flair to your page and it's so much fun to do! I created this page using this school years pics of my kids. Every so often, I like to do a LO of their current favorites. So , behind each photo, I added hidden journaling of their faves this year. It's so neat to look back and see how they have changed, or stayed the same.

I'm gonna give you 15 Friendz Pointz for completing this challenge. I figure 10ptz for completing it, and an extra 5 for being brave enough to try!! lol

Don't forget to upload by the deadline!!! *** Next Wednesday, April 30th by midnight {CST}***
Have a great week girlz, and hopefully a scrappy one!!

Technique Tuesday

Good morning, girlz!! Hope your week is off to a great start! Today's technique Challenge is a super easy one!
Use Ribbon To Create Flower Stems


To complete this card, I simply cut ribbon to the desired length for the flower stems. I then cut a small piece of ribbon and tied it onto the "stem" to create the look of leaves. This is so easy, but it is a really cute addition to your projects!

Five for Friday

I've decided to make Fridays' challenges a fun and quick way to earn 5 points. All you will have to do is create 1 page, card, or project using the product I give you. You will earn 5 pointz when you complete it (Limit 1 per person please because these are so easy and generic.) You will only have the current month to receive pointz for each challenge (unless the Friday happens to be the last day of the month and I'll make exceptions.) I will always post a due date with the challenge so you will for sure know. Be sure to post a link to it on the MB (link on the right) to receive your Pointz.

Sound fun?


So today's product is Red Ribbon. (Rick rack or twill will also count.)


Use it anywhere, anyhow on a card, layout, or project to receive your pointz. Due April 30 by Midnight (CST).


Here are 2 of mine.

PLAY

REMINISCE

MY MIND'S EYE

Good Luck!!! Now on to our challenge for today.....
We are now calling Thursdays, "30 Minute Thursday"......so, here's your challenge: a super quick ScrapLift!!

This page was really quick & easy to create....only took me 30 minutes so you should be able to lift it even faster!!! What sped up the process on this LO was 1) Using a large photo, I took up more space on my page 2) The bottom portion of my LO is busy patterned paper.....looks like I spent the day doodling away, but I didn't!! 3) I use a punch to create large flowers that have a dramatic effect, without all of the timely fuss!! Use these elements to be inspired to create a quick and easy page of your own!! I'll give you 15 FRIENDZ POINTZ if you e-mail us a pic of your project, or upload it to a gallery & post a link to it in today's thread in the forum!! Have fun.....but remember...the challenge is all about quick & easy....no knit-picking!!!LOL
Have a great day!!
~AMY
PS.....this LO was created using the May Kit from Dixie Pieces...just thought I'd give you a sneek peek!! Head over there and check out all of the fun things going on!! The kits are soooo great!

Wacky Wednesday

Hi, Girlz!!!
Hope you are all having a great week, and enjoying our new forum!!
Don't forget to go on over and chat with us! Feel free to post whatever you like! Well, if it complies with the rulez anyway! :)
This month sure is passing by fast, and it will be over before you know it! So don't forget there are many ways to rack up on Friendz Pointz!! Which brings me to today's challenge.
Doodling!!! I have always been a doodler! I can't just leave blank paper blank. Even as a child, I wrote on everything! So today, what I want you to do, is create a card or LO and include doodling in some way. This challenge is worth 10 Friendz Pointz!
Let those creative juices flow! Feel free to do it by hand, or using some kind of doodling template. Don't be afraid, because there is absolutley no right or wrong way!
I have posted some examples below to give you ideas. If you have a problem seeing the images, just click on the picture to enlarge. Can't wait to see your creations!

Have a great day!!

Technique Tuesday

Good Morning, girlz!!! Hope you've gotten your week off to a great start.... things haven't slowed down much for me....Spring time is just crazy with Dance Competition Season, Church and school activities, and a ton of busy holidays at the flower shop!! I'm ready for Summer!! SOOOO...

For today's Technique Tuesday, I found a Summer LO in my album that I thought I'd share!



Today's technique is:
USE A TRANSPARENCY ON YOUR PAGE

On this page, I used a Fancy Pants Transparency Over-Lay. It didn't have enough "kick" on it's own, so I brushed paint around the edges, and added flowers and brads on top! There are so many things you can do with transparencies. You can print elements or journaling on them, paint or add embellishments to them like I did......whatever you can imagine! Just be creative and have fun!! Complete a page using a transparency, and I'll give you 10 FRIENDZ POINTZ!! Simply e-mail a pic of your page to scrapfriendzy@windstream.net or post a link to your page in the Forum under today's challenge thread!

Hope you have a super scrappy day!! ~AMY

Tootie,Toot,Toot!!!!!!!

Our very own Ronda had her first pub!!
It's the March issue of the Scrap Trends Cards idea book.
There is a funny story behind this card too. She gave this card to Amy's daughter, Ally for her birthday. She forgot she had submitted it in a challenge, then she got an email asking if she could mail it to them because they wanted to publish it! She got the card back from Ally, sent it in then got it back & gave it back to Ally!
And, guess what? This was her first card to make!
WTG! Ronda! Awesome card! We are so proud for you!!

Technique Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, girlz!! Sorry I missed calling BINGO WORDZ last night!! I'll double up today!! Here are your first 3 words:
GIGGLES
RIBBON
SCENIC ROUTE
Check back tonight for more words!! Good Luck!

OK....now on to our Technique for today:
Create A Mini Album On Your Page That Features Extra Photos Or Journaling

I love using this technique when I have extra photos that I really want to use, but don't have room on my page for OR when I have journaling or memorabilia that I want "hidden".

In my first example, I had so many pics that I wanted to include, but no room for my title. So to solve the problem, I create a little circle album that "swings" open to reveal more pics! I simply cut the top & base of my "mini album" with my Curvy Cutter, adhered the base to my page & used a brad to attach the top circle. Easy as pie!!


Every year when my kids go back to school, I want to include something about their "first day of school outfit" (I have girls...it's a big deal!!!LOL)Besides, I think it will be neat to look back & see what clothes cost!
Anyway, some years I journal it on the page, other years I've used the tags of their clothing on my page, but for this one...I not only wanted to include the outfit info, but also the emotions we were feeling since it was Beth's last year at the elementary school.

Soooo...I created a little mini album that I attached directly onto my page. For this "mini album", I cut cardstock 6 x 12, folded the sheets in half to create my book & pages. I punched holes with my Crop-A-Dile & ran ribbon through them to create my binding. I also punched one hole at the opening of my album and ran ribbon through it to keep my album closed. I attached it to my page! Inside, I included extra pics from that day, a letter from me with my wishes for her in the school year, stickers that came on her outfit tags, and I made a pocket that I used to store the price tags from her outfit.



Your mini album doesn't have to have a ton of pages....maybe even just one that you open to reveal something special. Just be creative & see what you can come up with!!!
Creat a layout with some sort of mini album on it, & I'll give you 20 FRIENDZ POINTZ!!! Yep! That's right, 20!!!! This challenges takes a little more time & creativity, so I'm feeling generous!!!



Send us a pic of your page to scrapfriendzy@windstream.net by the end of the month, and I'll credit your FPZ!!
Have a great day!
~AMY

March Girlfriend Of The Month

Each month here at ScrapFriendzy, we like to "spotlight" one of our fellow scrappers in what we call Girlfriend Of The Month!

March's GFOTM amazes me with her scrappy talent! She has such a unique style! She is super talented when it comes to cutwork and using paper to embellish her pages in artistic ways. And the winner is....................drumroll pleeeeeezzzzzz.......

Donna Espiritu!!!!!

Meet Donna........."I live in a little town of Cainta in the province of Rizal (Philippines). My husband and I know each other for 16 years now. The 3 latter years as a married couple. My ultimate wish is for my hubby and I to have a child, even just one little tot, girl or boy. I have been scrapping for more than 3 years now. I got interested with scrapbooking when I got married. Hoping I could get to scrap our wedding photos, which until now are in my photo boxes lol! I was able to use my hoarded scrapbook stuff when my niece was born. From then on, as the saying goes, I never looked back. My favorite subjects to scrap are little children.. my nieces and nephews, even godchildren.I love making mini-albums as gifts to them. I also love teaching children about the craft. I love sharing my stuff with my friends' children and I so appreciate it when I hear them ask for another session coz they really enjoy every minute of it, they say. :)"



Here are some of her favorite pages:




Congratulations, Donna!!! We love having you here at ScrapFriendzy!!!

Technique Tuesday

Whew! You girlz have blown me away with your March projects!! There is some major scrappy talent around this place!! Way to go!!! I hope you are having as much fun as I am here at ScrapFriendzy!! Invite some friendz to join us this month!!
Can't wait to announce the March FRIENDZ POINTZ Winner and March GFOTM!!! But until then....here's our technique for today:

Using A Pen To Create Fun Circles To Embellish Your Page
This is a super easy technique...I love the way it looks on my pages. Here's my example:

To make my circles, I simply cut a circle with my punch (small ones) or curvy cutter (larger ones). I laid my circle on my page where I wanted the design. I traced around it lightly with a pencil, and then "doodled" polka dots on my pencil marks with a white gel pen. Lastly, I erased the pencil lines that were showing and voila! Got fun circles that add interest to my page!
So...give this technique a whirl on one of you next creations! Send a pic of your page to scrapfriendzy@windstream.net and I'll give you 10 APRIL FRIENDZ POINTZ!!!
Check back later this evening...the BINGO game starts soon!!!
