Poor Neglected Blog!!!

I sort of got distracted, and forgot to post over here. 

Things have changed in the past year.  I am no longer an official designer at Ivy Scraps.  I retired from that position.  Now I just play. 

I still host a challenge, but switched to Create a Recipe Book.  I make a 4 x 6 starter kit, and those who complete the challenge get the rest of the kit for a prize.

Check out  the April challenge  HERE

ENJOY!!

May Quick Pages At Ivy

Each month at Ivy scraps, one of the designers sponsors the Quick Page Challenge.  All of the members who sign up, are given a full size kit to make ONE quick page.  We load it to a file sharing site, and post the link in the challenge thread.  Then we can all collect the pages the others have made, and have a full themed album!  WIN  -  WIN!!  PLUS  -  Everyone who makes a quick page, gets a participation prize!!   Here is the thread, Ivy Scraps Quick Page Challenge, so you can go see what we have made!

This is the kit we got this month:  Liftoff by Sweet Dreamer Designs. 

Thank you for the fun, Sharon!!

iNSD Forum Hop at Ivy Scraps

This quick page is one of many hidden through the Ivy Scraps forum for iNSD weekend, May 3&4, 2014.  I hope you enjoy the hunt!!

I made this QP from the May Font Challenge prize, so if you like it, you can do the challenge and get the kit.  The wordart pack is free, just for stopping by.

The colors match all of the challenge prizes this month, as well as the May Mini Pixel kits. 

Here is a preview of SOME of the gifts you will find in the forums at  IVYSCRAPS this weekend.  

Some of us did not get our previews posted before the ad was made, there is more to be found!!  Have fun  on the hop!!

May Font Challenge

The Long Weekends of Summer are starting!!  

As most of you know, I sponsor the Font Challenge at Ivy Scraps.  Each month I choose 3 FREE fonts to feature, and give you a link to  download them.  My challenge to you is to use one or more of the fonts on a page, and post it at Ivy Scraps.  I make a set of wordart featuring the fonts, which you may use on your page, or use the fonts for your own words.  The wordart is free: just stop by the forum to pick it up (you do have to be registered, but that is free, too).

In May, I am asking you to use this month’s featured fonts to show us some of your weekend fun.  Whether it is a backyard barbecue, a camping trip, or a weekend in the city, show us how you celebrate.  

For everyone who completes the challenge during May, there is an additional prize, which I will send out by PM at Ivy.

I hope you enjoy the font challenge!!

September Font Challenge at Ivy Scraps

I didn't do a great job of updating my blog on time, but, HEY: It is still September!!

September is Back to School time for many. Some families have a tradition of taking a picture on the first day of school each year. You may have heritage school pictures, or brand new ones. First day, or any day, I want to see a School Days layout, using one of the featured fonts.

I have three FUN fonts for you to try out this month.  

• ·         Collegiate Family by Casady-and-Greene  A set of 5 fonts that fit together
• ·         Dobkin Script by Dieter Steffmann
• ·         Eraser Dust by David Rakowski

You can stop by the Font Challenge at Ivy Scraps (www.ivyscraps.com), and join the fun.  Just for looking, you can download this free set of wordart.  Coincidentally, they are made with the featured fonts!!
