Don't forget about my giveaway - I have four gift certificates to Stop And Scrap to give away. Pleas scroll down to the next post :-)

_________________________________________________________________________________


Sundays are ofte the day in the week where I can sit down and scrap or a few hours without beeing interupted. Creative Scrappers' sketches are early up, even for us at European time, so I often start my creative process by checking what the blog have for me.

Today Creative Scrappers provide us with this lovely sketch made by Nicole Nowosad

And here is my take on it with some close up photos.

DS9 and his buddy on an air craft museum. He is nuts about planes!

All materials except buttons from Imaginisce

I have so many ideas for this sketch, like last year's Christmas photos I haven't scrapped yet, some summer photos from my big pile etc etc. What about you, do you feel like playing? Don't forget to link your creation to the Creative Scrappers blog to get a chance to win a prize from our sponsor C'est magnefique Kit Club.

Stop And Scrap Giveaway!

I am so happy to be hosting Stop and Scrap’s giveaway today!

Stop and Scrap has been my favorite online scrapping store for the last two years. They stock all the latest and greatest scrapbooking supplies, and have a great pre-order system that lets you reserve items in advance. Here I find all my favorite brands in one place (did I mention their awesome prices?)which has made shopping so much more easily. Stop and Scrap ship all orders over $50 free within the US! And even for us overseas scrappers and card makers, the shipping fee is so low that we really can afford to shop online.

Stop and Scrap's first kit! In stock now!

Stop and Scrap also has a customer rewards program (details here) that allows customers to build up points based on purchase amounts. Those points can later be traded in for Stop and Scrap gift certificates.

I love Stop and Scrap’s state of the art customer service. Every time I've emailed them with a question, they always have replied quickly with a personal response- not a canned "form email." You have no idea how important this is to me!

I subscribe to Stop and Scrap’s newsletter. This way I know all about new releases and what there is to pre order. If you want to be updated on what’s hot, this is the newsletter you need.

Card kit swap

Have you ever had any of your scrappy friends make you a card kit?
It's so much fun that we do it on regular bases at My Scrapbooknook.

Late october I received this kit from Miranda.

I'm sorry for the lousy image quality.

And here is what I made:

Thank you, Miranda for this lovely kit. It was impossible not to make great cards with it :-)


To see what the other forum members make with the kits, and to get lots of inspirations as they are super talented, chech out this forum thread.

November Color Challenge - and a sad layout

Hi!

Katarina picked the colors and the images for My Scrapbook Nook's November Color challenge. Aren't these colors lovely, and the images happy?

Sunday was a sad day at our house. DS9 has had his budgies for abouth a month, but on Friday Fluffy didn't look too healthy and on Saturday we found her dead in her cage. She is now burried in our garden in a lovely coffin DS9 made for her from a shoe box.

DS9 begged me to take a photo of him crying so "he could have a memory of this sad day": He is such a sweet boy. And off course I did when he wanted me to, and he said the layout I made with the photo is beautiful and sad. Did I say he is a sweet boy?

My Scrapbook Nook November kit is perfect for this color challenge, but as mine had,'t arrived yet on Saturday, I decided to play along by using some papers and embellies from my own stack: This is mix of Glitz Design and Fancy Pants papers, embellishments from Glitz design and Prima.

If you want to play along with us in this color challenge, please upload your page to your blog and link back to us on the My Scrapbook Nook Blog.

Have a happy creating!

My ScrapbookNook finally has a blog too!

Over the last week we have had some tecnical issues with our message board. So to be able to follow up the cool challengs we have started, and to give you even more inspiration to scrap, we have put the ScrapbookNook Blog!

The message board is back to normal, but we will try to put up something on the blog every day to keep your mojo going, so check in to see what we have for you.

PS. Don't forget about my give away on Friday Nov. 14th! I have teamed up with StopAndScrap.com for a Count Down For Christmas prize!

Who would like a give away?

Hi friends.

I have some exciting news for you: I have teamed up with my favourite online store StopAndScrap for their StopAndScrap.com Christmas Countdown Giveaways.


On November 18th I'll run a give away on my blog, sponsored by StopAndScrap and you are all invited to go for it. There will be a super easy challenge involved, and I would love everybody, both card makers and scrappers, to participate.

What the prizes are? Gift certificates! One $25 and three $10 to the StopAndScrap shop! Please visit their main page to see which blogs to visit during the countdown - there is new gift sertificates to win every day (look for the Google calender in the right hand bar) and my blog is the place to visit on November 18th.

My order history with StopAndScrap goes back to 2009 and they have never disapointed me. Never! Their service is state of the art, they carry the hottest collections (and even do pre orders for upcoming collections) and the prices are the best. And I don't think any shop can beat them on shipping fees, even internationally! This is an online shop I recommend from the bottom of my heart so why don't you pay it a visit to check out what the staff there can offer you :-)


To celebrate this happy event, I'll give to you a layout I have made just for fun, made with papers (Imaginisce) and embellishments I have bought in the StopAndScrap store!

Thank you for visiting - and don't forget about November 18th!
