A Prayer Request...

2008-05-04T21:36:00.003-04:00

We are very sad to let you all know that our creative team member Niki may not be around much these days.

On Tuesday April 30th her daughter Ellie was diagnosed with a diffusely infiltrative brain stem glioma. Ellie spent three days in the hospital with mom and dad while meeting with several specialist in preparation for the radiation that is to start on Monday May 5th. A website has been created by Pat and Niki so that you may follow them as they embark on this horrendous and difficult journey.

Please keep them in your thoughts & prayers and pray for Ellie that God heals her.

We love Niki & hope that all of you that visit our blog will join us in supporting her through this difficult time.

Niki's

Check this out...Gabi & Laura were visiting their local scrapbook store. (If you are ever in the New Jersey area, be sure to check out Scrapbooking Moments in Time. It is a fabulous store with a friendly & helpful staff. Click on there name & visit their website. If you stop in be sure to tell them we sent you.) While they were there...Pat, the owner, was showing us all her new inventory & this cute little card she had made. We thought is was a perfect example of another twist on the paper piecing idea. The little bird is put together with pieces of ribbon.

sorry the picture was taken on Laura's cell phone.
How cool is that??

Challenge #11~Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

2008-02-04T15:44:00.001-05:00

We have always been told not to judge a book by its cover… but of course people do it all of the time. How often have you seen a book & based on the look of its cover been moved to open it up & perhaps even buy it? Well, websites are also often judged by their covers or more specifically their headers.

So we here at Scrapdragons have decided that it is time for a new look here. One that represents who we are & what we do here.

And this is where you come in…
We are in need of some new header art. We could design one ourselves, but wouldn’t it be more fun to have a contest?

Here are our only requirements…the rest is up to you...

~ Header dimensions should be compatible with the blogger format
~ The header art should in some way reflect the theme of this blog & include the “Scrapdragon” name

The entries need not be created digitally. Well photographed paper creations will be considered as well.

Here’s what is in it for you...
We will choose a header from all the submissions we receive. That winner will receive a $20 gift certificate provided by Gabi & Laura from an online store of your choice. We will post links here in this thread for all entries. The winner will also have a link on our sidebar for as long as we use their winning header.

So, please feel free to link to this post & help spread the news about our contest. Please post here in the comments & email us your entries.

We hope that you choose to participate…we can hardly wait to see what you come up with.

Deadline for submissions is midnight EST March 1, 2008!

**Scrapdragon Creative Team members are eligible for this contest**

And the winner is....

2008-02-04T09:20:00.000-05:00

for challenge #10....

Peg with this faboulous layout!!

(Peg please email us your mailing address so we can get your prize out to you.)

Again we have been thirlled with all of the entries. It is always difficult choosing just one.

Check back this afternoon for a new kind of contest here. It will run all month long. We will also be posting a new challenge on the 15th...so keep checking back!!

Better Late Than Never...

2008-01-31T11:37:00.001-05:00

Challenge #10

2008-01-15T10:39:00.000-05:00

Fashion Faux Pas!?!?!

For this challenge we would like you to scrap a page, any size, any style about a Fashion Faux Pas. It could be some crazy or wacky fashion choice you made, maybe something silly one of your kids loves to wear, or maybe it is just on old picture of you with a bad 80's hair cut. As always we love to leave these up to interpretation. So do not in any way feel limited. Make this challenge yours & go for it!!

Here are some layouts by our Creative Team:

Laura's

Lauren's

Niki's

All layouts must be posted in the comments of this thread by midnight EST January 30th.

**Remember you have until midnight EST tonight, January 15th, to post your entries for

Challenge #9...

so get them in! Winners will be posted sometime next week so be sure to check back.**

Also...completely off topic....Laura's daughter Rachel is asking for some help. It seems the silly sock creature she created is without a name. OH NO!! Her poor little sock friend has been a bit depressed and is requesting that he be given a name immediately!

If you can help, Scrapdragons & Rachel would greatly appreciate it!

Just go HERE to offer your opinion! Thanks!!

Check out the submissions!

Challenge #9

2008-01-01T22:57:00.000-05:00

Music is a form of art & the lyrics are often like poetry, so using lyrics in scrapbook layouts really makes sense.

Music often brings us memories.

You hear a song & can be transported back via your memories to the high school prom, or the day you were married, or the first time your heart was broken.

Sometimes a song expresses exactly what you feel in your heart. Sometimes a line from a song can just sum up the mood of a moment.

So here is our challenge to you...

Create a scrapbook layout any size...that incorporates music in some way.

You can use a single verse, the entire song or even just the title.

You can even just journal about music, do a page about your ipod, or maybe an instrument you play.

The key is to be creative & have fun with it!!!

Challenge #7~ "You Pick Two" - UPDATED New DUE DATE!

2007-11-01T14:38:00.000-04:00

For this challenge, Scrapdragons will be borrowing from a Panera menu idea. You know how you can pick two items to create your meal? Well here you will be picking at least two items from the following list to create your layout. Remember when looking at the list, you do not need to interpret the photos literally & you can use some creative license with the items. Feel free to think outside the box & see how the list items inspire you. Art is about creative expression not about limitations. We want you to have fun!

So here is the list...pick two of the following items as inspiration for your layout:

2. bling
(glitter, rhinestones..etc..)

3. The word "inspire"

5. an item not intended for scrapbooking

6. more than 5 photos

8. hand written journaling

Remember, we here at Scrapdragons do this to inspire people to create. We are all about fun here! So don't fret or stress! Start the challenge & see where it takes you!

Here are some sample layouts by our fabulous creative team:

Niki

Laura

Deanna

Lauren's Card Version

The only thing we ask is that you post a link to your fabulous creation in the comments & let us know what two items you picked.

To be eligible for the awesome prize for this challenge, all layouts must be submitted by midnight November 30th EST. We decided to do only one challenge for the month of November due to Thanksgiving and the hustle and bustle that goes with it!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

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

PS! Be sure to check back periodically because we're going to post sneak peeks now and then to our prize package.............

Check out the entries!

Attention All You Card Makers!!

2007-10-17T20:44:00.000-04:00

Helloooooooo Scrapdragons!

Yes, it’s card challenge time again, so welcome to a little thing I like to call the “Nothing-Like-the-Last-Minute Procrastinator’s Mass-Producible Halloween Card Challenge”! (snappy title, eh?!) Since time is of the essence, your assignment is to use the same ingredients to make at least two totally spooktacular cards. They can be identical twins…or just kissing cousins…but the point is to get as much bang from your supply buck as possible!

I grabbed a pack of adorable 3-D cat stickers and some “trick-or-treat” ribbon the last time I was at Michaels…threw in glossy black cardstock, a bunch of white rub-on letters, some scraps of patterned paper…et voila!

Halloween postcards for the boys and ghouls in my life!

Happy cardmaking and Happy Halloween!

You have until Midnight EST October 30th to post a link to your card in the comments of this post.

There will be a nice RAK for the winner!

Thanks,

Lauren

Oh what a rough time we had choosing a winner. What a wonderful problem to have!! So many fabulous entries that we could barely make a decision as to who should win. Seriously this was probably the hardest one we have had so far. You all really rocked this challenge!!

There were so many creative ways you showcased those not so great photos. I have tons of fun new ideas now. Thank you everyone!!

So after all that I guess you probably really want to know who finally won the big prize. You are like, "yeah yeah yeah whatever...hard choices....everyone did fabulous work....come on...just let us know who won already!!"

Well here it is........

The winner of Challenge #5 is......

WANDA!!!

Congratulations!! Please email us your mailing address so we can get your yummy prize out to you.

Challenge #5

2007-10-01T07:34:00.000-04:00

Out of Focus
How many of you have a stack of photos that you wish
were better? Perhaps they are a bit out of focus.
Maybe someone has their eyes closed. Oops is that a
finger in front of the lens? Whatever the issue I am
sure we all have at least one. I know sometimes I am
so disappointed with these photos because either they
are the only pictures I have a certain event or I just
love the emotion in them even if it isn't the
"perfect" shot.

Well now is your chance to pull those bad photos
out...dust them off...& create something beautiful
with them.

The challenge this time is to scrap one or more bad
photos on a layout.

Remember scrapbooking is about telling the story &
preserving memories. It doesn't always have to be
fabulous photos.

Allow yourself to have some fun with them. Be creative
& make sure to share your link in the comments when
you are done.

Deadline for submissions is midnight EST on October
15th. Our Creative Team will choose a winner shortly
after that for a cool scrappy prize.

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

Here's what our creative team came up with:

Hiya, Scrapdragons, Lauren here!

Laura & Gabi aren’t here right now...they said something about Daniel Craig and suntan lotion…I’m sure it’s all *perfectly* wholesome… I thought it would be fun to drop in and host a little
mini-challenge-ette! I know you’ve all been making tons of gorgeous layouts, but howsabout we make my favorite--CARDS--this time? and what better theme for a scrapDRAGONS card challenge than…can you guess? you can guess, right?…

Yep, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is: make a card with a dragon on it!

Here are the rules: there ARE no rules! You may interpret the theme in any way you want! Fantasy dragon, dragonslayer, cartoon dragon, puff the magic dragon, year of the dragon, dragonfly, dragon lady, kimodo dragon…be as wild…or as tame as you want! And remember…since this is a Lauren challenge, creative “cheating” is not only permitted…it’s actively encouraged!!!

Here are a couple that I’ve made:

We will send a nice little prize for the winner of this card challenge!!

Challenge #3 ~ "Mixing it Up!"

2007-09-01T07:23:00.000-04:00

For our third contest we would like to offer another
unique & interesting challenge.

Take inspiration from each of the 3 items below. One
is a layout by Carla our winner of challenge #1, one
is a photograph, & the third is a swatch of fabric.
What you will need to do is use all three of them as
inspiration to create a layout. You can take anything
that moves you from each of the photos. Be creative,
it does not need to be a literal interpretation, feel
free to use creative license. This is about getting
your mojo flowing so please truly have fun.

Our goal is to have this challenge inspire you to make
something fabulous.

Once your layout is complete, comment back to this
post with a link to your layout or email it to us
before the deadline. Please be sure to let us know
what elements or inspiration you took from each of the
three!

We look forward to your entries!

This challenge is due on September 15th at which point
the creative team will choose a winning layout.
