scrapbooker for hire

and the winner is...

Angela Vorderstrasse! Congratulations and THANK YOU ALL for playing.  It was so awesome to read about everyone. And, I was pleasantly surprised by a few of you gals that I knew when I worked at the scrapbooking store. WE MISS YOU TOO! *hugs* Thank you for all the compliments and kind words and for introducing yourself.  =)  Hopefully you won't be so shy in the future and will be willing to say hi more often. Or, hey maybe even start a blog of your own that I can stop by.

Alright, that's all I have time for this morning. Thanks again everyone and have a great day. I know I will, it's supposed to be 60 and SUNNY today!  =)

Oh, and this is T a few weeks ago when she was sick and obviously not amused but, still super cute.

happy valentines day, early.

Love is in the air and on all the store shelves. I've been inspired for days and finally found some time yesterday to sit down for awhile and get something done.

I played with brown and pink paper lines from Rusty Pickle: White Chocolate Bunnies and Chocolate Kisses. I also used a few chipboard shapes, rub ons, butt-ons and bling to make these cards complete.

They're cute, right? They can be all yours just for leaving a comment. And, along with the three cards & matching envelopes I've put together a coordi-nating prize pack full of Rusty Pickle papers, buttons, chipboard, rubons, stickers and bling. Here's the catch: you have to introduce yourself to me. 

Seriously, I'm calling all of you lurking readers out. =) I know people read my blog (because the little stats thing that I've attached to it tells me so) and I want to know who you are. Are you a regular? Is it your first visit? What's your name, where are you from, do I know you in real life, do you have a blog that I can read? Yada, yada, yada...the point is that I want to know who my readers are and I'm okay with bribing you all to find out. Just please, don't make me beg. 

You'll have until Monday night to leave a comment to be eligible for the prize. =) 

Thanks so much everyone and I can't wait to get to know you all. (Or, hear from you again if you do leave me comments already).  

Here are pictures of the goods that you'll win: a complete 12 x 12 Lil Chubby chipboard alphabet, Lucky flourish rubons, alphabet stickers, a variety of chipboard pieces, buttons, bling and 10 sheets of patterned paper.

Oh, and the winner of the tags and the Rusty Pickle RAK from my last post was Pam. Yay!  I'm not sure when the RAK will go out but, I'll get the tags in the mail to you sometime next week.

That's it for now.

Who's up for a challenge?

There's free product involved and it's easy.  Well, sort of.  Read on...

 
Here are 4 cards that were created using all Rusty Pickle products, or were they?  You tell me.

Here's how it works.   In a comment, list all of the Rusty Pickle products that were used to create  these 4 cards.  Whoever lists them all correctly (or closest to them all) will win a RAK from the Rusty Pickle warehouse.  If more than one of you list them all, I'll put your names into a bowl and draw one at random.  You'll have  until the Wednesday, the 19th to leave  your comment.  And if you're playing, please, email me (using the link to the left) your name and full mailing address so that if you win I'll already have the info to submit to RP. 

Oh, and if you're worrying about your comment being copied, don't.  I'm holding them all until this is over. 

Good luck! 

One more thing, you have to be specific when listing products,  you can't just say patterned paper or rubons, I want to know exactly what line they came from! 

And I did get back from Seattle this morning but, I'm way too tired to post about it. Maybe later this week.

Happy Sunday.

and the winner is...

Congratulations Sarah, and thanks for playing!  I hope you enjoy your package.

Krystina, you're my winner!  Yay, congratulations!  Guess what you've won?!?!?  Your choice of an entire pack of Rusty Pickle papers and all the coordinating stickers, tags, and trims!! 

And a friendly reminder that your entries for this month's challenge are due on Monday.  So if you haven't started you've still got the weekend to bust out your RP and get creative. 

Have a great one! 

published! *edited to add challenge details*

*The monthly challenge was posted over at the Rusty Pickle blog today.  But in case you're too lazy to go there, I'll post the details here too. 

The rules:

• All projects must be 80% Picklelicious!  Need to replenish your stock of RP?  Check out the links to the left (these are on the RP blog) on where you can load up on Pickle goods!  Layouts must be 12x12 or 8.5x11, single or double-page spreads.
• To enter, you must leave a comment within the ORIGINAL CHALLENGE POST and include a link to your awesome creation!  YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO EMAIL YOUR PROJECT TO: rustypickleblog@gmail.com As we acknowledge all submissions please do email us again if you have not received a confirmation email within two days of submitting
• All entries will be due Friday, February 15th.  This will give you approximately TWO WHOLE WEEKS to finish your project!
• The RP Chefs will vote on the winner.  The lucky artist will win a fabulous Rusty Pickle Prize Pack!

We hope you'll join in on the Challenge this month! Remember, every project that is entered automatically makes it to the Public Gallery, right here on the Rusty Pickle blog!

And now back to our regularly scheduled program...hehe. 

Jen from Ready, Set, Create requested these 2 layouts awhile ago for the Feb/March issue of her online magazine.  It's now available for purchase and dowload for an easy $4.  I just received my link for the download lastnight and as I was browsing through it I was amazed at how many fellow chefs were also included in the issue.  And yes, I even went back and counted...16 chefs and 41 Rusty Pickle projects...that's something to be proud of.  So you can definitely count on your $4 going along way. 

I love this sequence of photos of Terrance. She's just so sweet.  I think she was about 4 months old and she just wouldn't stop licking her dads hand..it was pretty funny and I had to capture it. 

And this picture...is just so sweet!  Has 2 of my favorite people in it, Terrance and my mom.  I think it's a great moment caught on film. 

Anywho, the other day I told you all about my music preferences and asked what song was playing  as you were reading.  I even offered a RAK of Rusty Pickle product and NO ONE has taken me up on the offer.  What gives?   Regardless, the offer still stands.  Leave a comment and tell me what song is playing and in a week or so I'll randomly draw a name to receive the aforementioned RAK.  I haven't decided if this is going to come from the RP warehouse or if it will come from my personal stash.  Hmm...maybe both.  I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Happy scrappin' ladies and have a GREAT weekend!
