Wednesday Card Challenge - Old School Style
Heehee! Just kidding on the "Old School" part! Actually, not so much! Your card challenge...if you chose to accept it...is to use the following Vintage Image in a card:
Some of you that have never tried Vintage before...might find this is too much of a challenge to try...but think about it this way...it's not anything more than a "stamped" image! Play around and see what happens! Here is what our design team did with it:

The elements will change each week, and a winner will be randomly selected every Saturday. This challenge is going on weekly so jump on over and check out this weeks list!
Second we have another great Challenge, an Altered Item Challenge! Stumped? Can't scrap a page or figure out what to put on a card? Take a break on THOSE projects and play with an altered item every two weeks with us... And yes, because we LOVE prizes, there will be a prize awarded at the end of each bi-weekly challenge! This one is due by April 18th so head on over and check it out!
We've started to make some great changes to our Ning so I hope you will check it out! Not least of all the changes is the addition of our fabuliscious Ning Mistress ADINA! She is helpin us get the forum rockin! Welcome Adina!!!

Scrapbooking on a Budget!
Good Monday morning everyone! Hope you guys had a great weekend. This is the last post for the month of March. I hope you guys have enjoyed following our blog so far.
I know that for me, I'm always looking for ways to organize my scrapbooking supplies. Organizing your scrapbook supplies can get expensive. So, I was wondering what could I store my brads all in 1 place? Then I was at my local Wal-mart in the tool section and found this. The price was right also, only $10.00! When I got home I couldn't wait to organize my brads. Here is the pics of my find.
This is what the drawers looked liked after I sorted my brads.
You can also hang this on the wall, if you don't have the shelf space. That is what I did with mine. Hope you guys enjoy! Have an awesome Monday!!!
