Happy NSD! Welsome to ScrapStreet's Blog Hop!
Happy National Scrapbook Day, and welcome to ScrapStreet's Blog Hop!
Please make sure to check out the ScrapStreet Blog for everything you need to know about this Blog Hop!
Also, check out the National Scrapbooking Day Forum where extra challenges will be posted throughout the day for possible prizes as well!
I have two RAKS for you if feel like playing along on my blog!
For a chance to win the first prize, just leave me a comment before Monday morning (May 3rd) 10.00 AM PST. I will pick a random winner shortly after!
For a chance to win the second prize, you will have to create a card based on the following sketch. Post your creation either on your blog or in the ScrapStreet Gallery, and reply to this blog post with a link to your creation before Thursday morning (May 6th) 10.00 AM PST. Again, I will pick a random winner from the entries.
This is the sketch:
And this is my take on it:
Supplies: Paper, Die Cut: SEI, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Canson, Chipboard: Bazzill Basics Paper, Ribbon: American Traditional Designs, Brad: Making Memories, Ink: Rubber Stampede, Marker: Color Workshop (P&M Products), Other: thread. Tools: Stamp: My Sentiments Exactly, Other: sewing machine.
I made this card for my son's birthday. He will turn nine in a few days! I had found the Chinese character for the number nine online at About.com, and I thought that would be a good starting point for his birthday card.
I downloaded the image and printed it out in reverse. Then I adhered it to the back of a black cardstock scrap and cut it out. This gives a little more dimension than just printing the character directly onto the white cardstock.
I cannot wait to see what you create with the sketch, and read your comments!
I hope you enjoy our blog hop, and thank you so much for playing with us!
Next stop is the blog of the fabulous Janis Medina-Maghinay!

March 2010 Publications
The following projects were published in the March issue of ScrapStreet Magazine:
Uni
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Chipboard Star: Scenic Route, Stickers: American Crafts, Ribbon: Morex, Bling: Heidi Swapp, Eyelets: Making Memories, Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3, Font: Baby Boston.
I used my photo editing software to create and print the moon shape. I used this shape to cut out the cardstock and the main photo. I cut out a photo of the stuffed toy and used that as an embellishment. I punched holes in the star and the moon and hung the star from the moon by threading ribbon through the eyelets in the holes. To create a visual triangle I used bling on top of the unicorn's collar, around the star and on top of the title. I chose a dark grey background to make a "night" scene.
Thanksgiving 2008
Digital Kit: Thankful by Rachness Designs for ScrapStreet.com, Stitches: All Stitched Up by Zoe Pearn Designs (SweetShoppeDesigns), Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3, Font: Blink Janneke Style.
Although I used 9 photos on one page, I kept the design clean and organized by combining the photos in just one block.
Lucky
Papers: Kaisercraft, Ribbon, Buttons: SEI, Chipboard: Bazzill Basics Paper, Cherry Arte, Rub-Ons: Making Memories, Daisy D’s, Brads: Queen & Company, Stamps: PSX, Ink: Rubber Stampede, Paint: Delta, Junkitz, Card Base: Halcraft, Font: Bradley Hand ITC.
I painted four chipboard hearts and arranged these into a shamrock shape. The tiny brads fill up the holes in the heart "buttons" exactly.
St. Patrick's Day 2009
Digital Kit: Feeling Lucky by Handmaid Designs for ScrapStreet.com, Fonts: Rockwell, Blink Janneke Style.
I simply stretched the frame to fit my photos. To extend the ribbon underneath the photo, I copied and pasted the left end side of the ribbon using the rectangular Marquee Tool and moved this to the left.
