black and white

So this was an ad-inspired page from the ScrapStreet in Paris fair this weekend - I LOVE this layout! I actually had to do some real cutting with scissors for those flowers AND I used transparencies, which I haven't used in ages, but it's fun nonetheless. Not sure why the scanner AND the camera hated this layout, but here are the details:

cs: Bazzill
pp: WUBE
cb flowers: Magistical Memories
flowers: Prima
brads: MM
bling: Heidi Swapp
font: Batang, 2Peas Funky Doodles
tag: 3 Bugs in a Rug

Runway Project

(don't tell anyone - but this is out of MY idea notebook!!)

Join us at beginning November 4 for two (2) weeks as we work together to build a project, piece by piece, design by design, element by element!

It's CP's own Runway Project! Here's how it works:
Every other day, for two (2) weeks, the DT will give YOU a Runway Project challenge or element that you must use to create YOUR own project.
Any project may be created (one or two page layout(s), altered items, etc.) as long as it is created in the sequence of steps CP provides.
You will be required to upload a picture of your project after each and every step.
You can join in at any time, as long as you take pictures of each step.
There will be no elimination during the competition; however, in order to be eligible to win, you must have a photo uploaded of each step prior to the deadline (November 18).
For more information, please stay tuned!

For the entire month of October, I want you to bring your friends to CP!!

For every member who refers 7 new members to CP, I'll enter them once into a drawing.

Referring member and new members must reach at least 25 posts to qualify.
New members can then refer other new members, too.If any referring or new member posts 1,000 times in the month of October, their name will also go into the drawing.

All you have to do is get your friend here, have him/her post {to} her hello and then keep on posting!

I'd love to rak the winner a CP kit of their choice.In appreciation for CP, Linda and all of her hard work, this month, the RAK/prize is on me.

Contest end date: October 31st.
Draw date: noon EST November 1st.

Mind Your Z's & Q's contest:
Okay, so here's the deal. We all have hundreds, if not thousands of those letters leftover that we never use.
K's
Q's
U's
V's
W's
X's
Z's
the list may be endless in your alphabet boxes...

I want to see you use those letters,
specifically leftover letters, in unique ways.
Any letter type will do: chipboard, sticker, even stamp!
And item will do: page, layout, altered item.

Maybe you'll substitute one letter for another...
Maybe you'll use a letter as a shape...
Maybe you'll cut, paste or alter a letter.

Whatever it is, let creativity flow and think outside the alphabet!
All layouts must be newly created and are due October 31st!
