I love vitage valentines... I saw this one on the web & actually remember it from my childhood. I think it's one my grandpa (the piano player) sent to me.
Since it's Valentine's weekend we're hopping a day early (but you still have all weekend to enter). Leave a comment before you go off to see what the design team has for you this weekend. The prize is a grab bag of 5 yards of ribbon.
We're having a great sale this weekend too... February 13th - 15th, Happy Valentine's Day! 45% off your entire order, Code: Valentines
Also we're looking for a guest designer for March. See the newsletter post below for more details if you are interested in applying.
So the first stop on the hop is me... Suz.
Wasn't the online crop a blast? So many prizes & winners. I hope you aren't scrapped out & are ready for a challenge?
In honor of Valentine's Day right around the corner I thought it would be a great time to do a layout about a loved one. So I titled the challenge "Show the Love". It could focus on your relationship to them or their relationship with another. As you can see from my example I took it a bit out of the box... about the relationship of 2 of our dogs! (you'll see more close-up details on my blog)
The rest of the design team has some inspiration for you so hop along to their blogs. We're all using Nikki Sivils papers from the Everything Scrapp'n Store. Make sure you visit each of them & leave them some "love".
The prize is a $20 gift certificate to the store. Enter your layout by loading your creation in the gallery of our online forum & then link it back to this blog post by 11:59 PM eastern time on Sunday, February 7th, 2010. Heather will draw a winner by random number generator of all the entries. We can't wait to see your creations.
Welcome to our monthly design team blog hop. Each of our designers have been busy creating projects to inspire you. You can pick your own prize with a $15 gift certificate to the store. Make sure you leave comments on each one as only Heather knows which one the winner will be drawn from.
While I have you here I wanted to remind you about our first online crop in the new ES forum this weekend. I hope you join us for lots of challenges, games, technique tips & prizes. It starts Friday January 15th & runs thru Monday the 18th. The design team will take turns posting challenges & will be online that entire hour for questions or just to chat.

Now that you are caught up on all the ES happenings hop over to see what Michelle has created.
Are you ready for Christmas? This time of the year is so busy but I find it's also the time of year I am most creative. The sights & smells are like "fuel" - I run out of time before ideas. I love making gifts, cards, ornaments, & decorations.

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
