Suz's Challenge - Bingo Layout

It's my day on the blog. Have you been keeping up with all the challenges so far. I'm loving looking at all the design team layouts using the new My Mind's Eye products.



My Mind's Eye has been a long time favorite of mine. They have such beautiful papers with lots of textures & depth to the patterns. They really out did themselves this season with the release of Penny Lane, Bella Bella & Bloom Grow.



So my challenge for you to earn another entry to win that fantastic prize is a twist on one of my favorite games BINGO...


Here's the BINGO card. So pick any line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) & use those supplies/techniques in your creation.

Make sure you use new MME papers/embellishments for your layout & link your creation back to the comments section of this post before midnight eastern time April 30, 2009 for a chance to win that super My Mind's Eye prize valued at $90!


I have 2 sons - so sometimes I feel limited when using all the pretty new papers that hit the market. Usually I can pick a stripe & a polka dot out of any line (as long as it's not pink) & make it work. I love the dark browns in Penny Lane - it really makes the colors pop. The perfect background in my book is a piece of Bazzill kraft cardstock.

In my example I chose the top horizontal row of the BINGO card & used ( I used 6+buttons, 3 patterned papers, handwritten journaling, 3+ photos & stitching) My layout uses photos of my younger son Brandon marching in the Atlanta Braves Stadium before a game with his t-ball team. He was so honored to be allowed on the field where his heroes played. He loved sharing his big day with his grandpa & they both had fun watching the game.

Scrapbooking Recipes

With the holidays coming so fast we need more hours in our day. One way I've found to help is quick and easy meals. Here is one that I love to use when I have a full day.

Lazy Log Cabin Casserole:

1lb stew meat cubed
1 can of Cream of Celery
1 can of Cram of Mushroom
1 packet of Beef Onion Soup (I don't use this. I just add salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried minced onions but I'm an eye ball cook)
Toss all this in the crock pot together give it a stir put it on low and cook it for 6 - 8 hours. Home cooked meal with just a few moments prep. Put a salad bag with it and your hubby can't be upset that there isn't a home cooked meal on the table.

Do you have a quick recipe? email me hgturner@everythingscrappn.com
