Ingredient Challenge- Brag Book Freebie

The fun is still going strong! Today I have an Ingredient Challenge for you- Remember: everyone that completes the challenge and posts the links here will be in the running for a $5 Gift Certificate to Mel's Store! If you complete all the challenges, you will be entered into a second chance drawing to win a $5 GC.

I ran through a lot of different options for your challenge today, I took inspiration from the CT team and thought a challenge incorporating the number 37 would be fun! So, you will have 37 items on your page when we are done!

5 Paper layers-(Stack 'Em)

5 Flowers

5 Buttons

5 Ribbons/RicRac/Paper Strips

5 lines Journaling- (this may be just name, dates, places or more than that, just keep it to 5 lines)

2 Leaves or Foilage bits

2 Staples

1 String or Wire

1 Stitching Element

1 Tag

1 Smear

1 Frame

1 Photo (if your frame has more than one opening, go ahead and fill the openings with your photos, we'll call it your photo grouping. It still only counts as one that way, right?)

1 Title

1 Element of your choice  (Mel's kits have butterflies, topiaries, clouds, bows and so much more pick your favorite!)

Don't forget that you can tuck some of the items between your paper layers. You are also allowed to duplicate the following items- flowers, buttons, ribbons/ricrac.

Busy Bee Freebie

I am so excited to play with Busy Bee, the colors just say spring to me. Now, while I love me some pink, I can get tired of it eventually (I know, how is that possible??). So to change up my wallpaper on my phone, I used a fun template I found over the weekend and made this wallpaper: 

In case you missed what Busy Bee looks like, here is the preview:

 And because it was a part on ScrapBook Bytes  Grab-a-Byte (GAB) there are lots of other products in the store that can coordinate with it.

I know the wallpaper may look odd when it's not loaded, but trust me, it looks great loaded and behind all your apps. I keep my screens pretty minimal so there isn't anything in front of the flower, making it look like everything is sitting on the shelves.

A freebie using Busy Bee

As you know Mel recently released Busy Bee at Gotta Pixel. I hope you had a chance to pick it up. You can get it Gotta Pixel

Here is a freebie I created from this great kit:

You can download this from box.net.  I hope you like this and would love it if you would leave a comment!! Thanks
