Kristina’s Pics for the Friday Five

August 29, 2008 | In: The Friday Five | By Kristina Contes

Happy Friday Scrapbloggers! It’s Kristina Contes here. Rebecca asked me to choose the Friday Five this week. It was really tough to narrow down the choices, but here are the five that caught my eye.

stevied by lml. First of all, how cute is this photo? It’s only one page, but I love how she layered.

My second choice just simply is a great layout. The layering and techniques she used really help to convey the feeling of the photo. Love the photography.

The cover page on this third one, A Small World in a Coffee Shop, drew in my attention. It’s a cool concept and I love the song. Of course it’s also about NYC, nothing wrong with that.

My fourth choice, What is Normal? is just a bunch goofy pics and it’s adorable so I chose it.

Happy 7th Nick is a simple and nice layout. Overall the page is great and that’s what I loved about it.

Yoga Anyone?

August 28, 2008 | In: Community, Mentions | By Rebecca

Hello fellow Scrapbloggers!

Today, well yesterday actually, I came across this very informative and inspiring scrapblog about Yoga. I’ve always been a big fan of yoga, although I don’t know very much about it and I’m not very skilled at it. As I’ve mentioned before, I love to find scrapblogs that teach us a little something. I also found YogaChick’s style of using the photos with the journaling to tell the story a great way to use Scrapblog. Let’s see what this inspires you to create! Enjoy - Rebecca

A Yummy Challenge - Scrap your favorite dessert!

August 27, 2008 | In: Community, Scrapblog Challenge | By Rebecca

Hello fellow Scrapbloggers!
Today it’s my pleasure to announce the winner of your community Scrapblog Challenge05 - Scrap your favorite Dessert. Boy, was this a mouth-watering challenge! I enjoyed viewing EVERY one of the entries. Before I reveal the winner, let me share with you the ones that topped the yummy list!

First up is Daniel247 and the vintage feeling of My Dessert (Challenge 05) made my tastebuds go crazy! I love lemon meringue.

Another mouth-watering entry came from Cazjane. This dessert drink intrigued me and I think I need to break out that recipe this weekend. Sounds ultra rich doesn’t it? MMMMMMMM…

StacieMay31 created a wonderfully delightful “I love Chocolate” scrapblog. I agree with every page. Chocolate is TOTALLY a girl’s best friend. Even Caleb knows the power of chocolate, he brought us brownies yesterday!

The winner of this week’s challenge is our very talented Little_m! We couldn’t resist the yumminess of her Decadent Dessert Cake entry. This scrapblog is best appreciated by viewing it in full screen mode. Honestly, I could barely stand reading the descriptions, I wanted to run to the nearest Publix and order something delicious. I also learned that Publix has a mascot. A wonderful creation and that deserves a big Congratulations to Little_m!
