Good morning and welcome to the first word challenge (aka The Last Bite) for 2 Broke Girls.

It's a nice easy one to begin with. Simply create a layout (traditional or digi), card or other project using the word NEW in your title.

This is the result:

Menu challenge as posted by Christa...

Spring is officially here . It always makes me think of getting outside, raking leaves, diffing out that BBQ and enjoying how everything is green-ing up!
In honour of these outdoorsy feelings (yes, I do have them occasionally) I thought we'd challenge you to a BBQ themed Menu challenge.

For those of you who don't know how they work, here's the 'skinny':

I will list several BBQ dinner items below. You must choose a minimum of 5 items from the list. Once you have made your choices, list them below in your own post.

On March 18th, I will add the Scrappy Items that correspond to each food item. Once you have the scrappy items that correspond to your BBQ menu list, you create a layout or altered item or card with those items.

My selections are highlighted and resulted in a nice mixture :

8. Potatoes with parsley: Use washi tape
13. Corn on the cob: Use three seperate sized photos
14. Grilled Asparagus with prosciutto: Use red
17. Bratwurst Sausage on a Ben: Use one manufacturuer for all your papers (except Card stock)
19. Hamburger sliders with Cheddar and Bacon: Use the negative of a shape (ie the cut part of a die cut or a font.)

I used a cricut cut from Nate's ABC's cartridge for the negative cut of a shape. (alpha in my case)

The One manufacturer I chose  is Simple Stories...combination of  3 collections.. 24/7, Life Documented and 100 Days of Summer.

Use Red..Simple Stories Alphas Stickers and arrow and  red mist on background.

Use Washi tape...I used 3 different colours and design of washi tape in 3 areas on the page.

And the 3 different size photos are 1- 4 x 6 , 1- 1 3/4 " circle and 1-2 1/4 " circle.

Hope you enjoy....I had fun doing this page.

A Ticket to ride

My final challenge at Two Scrapbook Friends forum for the May 15th deadline

 was A Ticket to Ride.

Here's my version using a couple of the Simple Stories collections and my Cricut machine.

World Card Making Day

The last 2 Challenges

I had 2 challenges left this morning.

For Joanne's Shopping Challenge, I had ideas but no pictures so waited for Jo-Ann to send me some and the page came together nicely. I used up lots of my stash which I like because I can't buy more until I do use it.

The last challenge is Dee's Apple themed project. I cut some apples with the cricut and found a sketch I liked in Volume 1 of one page Sketches Sketch for Scrapbooking, then dug into my stash and here it is...my favourite picture of Jo-Ann as a toddler.

That it for the challenges so the rest of the week I will be getting ready for the Saturday Charity crop in Elmira. Maybe I'll see you there.

A Scrapbooking Weekend

This is one of the pages I did on Saturday with Simple Stories collection . I do love Simple Stories! Leaves are cut with Silhouette and tag cut with Cricut. I spend the weekend scrapbooking. Saturday was at Two Scrapbook Friends in Waterloo.at a 10 hour crop with Carolyn showing us some CHA new products and giving some away. I won some of the American Crafts Amy Tangerine collection and some BoBunny Welcome Home and BoBunny stamps. A great haul. Thanks ladies. Had a great time with a wonderful bunch of ladies including my sister.

On Sunday, I went to Scrapping Turtle for their Open house and one year anniversary for their new store. Karen from Your Next Stamp was at the store demo'ing her new Die that matches her stamp. Great idea. Here's my make 'n takes from Sunday. The Christmas card is using Karen's new die and stamp.Karen used the Sizzix Big Shot for her die cuts. The flower card was designed by Noel ( I believe) using the Grand Cailber die cut machine and the journal cover called "inspired" using AC Amy Tangerine collection by another Turtle designer. (sorry I did not get her name) using the revolution die cut machine and i-rock on the rhinestones over the "i" .in inspired. (Click on photo to make larger to see details.) Another fun day, and a great way to spend the weekend !
