This weeks challenge obeys my hungry stomach. At the moment I took on the date, I happened to be very hungry. Mind you, I’m a food lover, so that’s no strange. That is why today I ask you to

SCRAP ABOUT FOOD!

you can
* scrap a recipe
* scrap something inspired by a dish you like
* use “food” elements
* scrap a pic of a messy eating kid

or basically, anything you want to do, even just use food colours… surprise us! Have fun doing this, you may win something great from our dear La :)

delicious recipe by Elizabeth (I really need to try it!)

Cute instructions on feeding a baby sis, by Jamie. Gotta love big bros!

And how to make a snake cake by me (this was my kids 3rd birthday cake).

Have fun! I can’t wait to see what you have to show us.

Scrap Your Cause! Blog Challenge

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Hi everyone!  Anna (mommy2aria06) here with my first blog challenge!  Woohoo!  Everyday we hear about causes that touch our hearts and make us look beyond our point-of-view.  For this challenge I want you to pick a cause that is important to you- it could be anything from health issues like breast cancer or heart disease to global warming and other social issues- and scrap about the issue or scrap with the colors associated with the cause (like pink for breast cancer or red for heart disease).  As long as a cause is your inspiration feel free to interpret it as you wish.  When you are done link us up in the comment section by Sunday, September 21st so we can leave you love and two winners will be picked to receive a prize.  Below are some layouts by my fellow CT members and our hottie lovin’, QT rockin’ leader, La.

Now find your cause…and scrap it!

La Devotee in the Spotlight: Emmy!

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Lizzy here with my very first La Bloggie Team Post. WOOT WOOT!

Before we dig into our Customer Spotlight, I need to announce the 2 winners from last weeks challenge! The winners are Sara and Diana! Please pm La at SSD to claim your choice of product from her store! YAY! Congrats ladies!

Onto our post today…we are here with one of La’s dedicated customers and long time doodle enthusiast, Emmy Boesch.

Hey Emmy…here goes. A little Q & A for ya!

Q. Tell us a little about yourself, outside the digi-world.

A. Well, I’m a mom to 4 boys that are 2, 4, 6, and 8. My husband and I have been married for 14 years. He is one awesome guy - a wonderful father and great husband. We laugh a lot and really enjoy the craziness of our life with 4 little boys. We homeschool as well, so between house and school and kids and just laundry - I keep pretty busy! In addition to scrapping I really love to knit and to read.

Q. Back to digi…how long have you been scrapping?

I started scrapping in paper 8 years ago just before my oldest son was born. My SIL was an avid scrapper at that time and I remember looking over her books and liking the idea of doing a book for my soon-to-be born son. I recall telling myself that I certainly woudln’t spend as much time and money as she had though - I would just do a simple book and be done. HA! I had no idea what I was in for! It’s been an awesome hobby for me and a great creative outlet. More than anything though, I’m so grateful I found scrapping just before my kids were born because I took more pictures and wrote down more journaling that I probably would have thought to do otherwise. I started digi scrapping in May of 2004 and that fueled the obsession even more since I could scrap faster and easier.

Q. How would you describe your scrapping style?

I’m a pretty simple scrapper and not terribly trendy. I really like the photos to be the focus and I try to journal on most pages. I scrap a lot of event pages as well as moments style pages - I’m kind of traditional overall. Sort of a digital Becky Higgins with more stitching and staples than she would ever use.

Q. What is the one embellishment you can’t live without?

Probably a great alpha - I’m really into my alphas.

Q. What made you fall in love with La’s designs?

Lauren’s designs are perfect for kid pages and I do a lot of kid pages! She always has great kits in kid friendly colors with cute artwork and a perfect alpha. Her designs work really well for my pages and they are always really original and fun.

Q. Ok, now we want to see your handywork with some La Designs…show me your 2 fave layouts using La’s products.

Roar! using Dino-riffic!

I Heart My Nerd using Geeks are Hot

Q. Lastly, show me your very favorite La Grier Product and tell me why it’s your absolute fave.

dino-riffic!!

A. The Dino-riffic! kit is probably my absolute favorite Lauren product! This kit has all the aspects of a perfect kit to me - awesome color palette, cute little dinos, fun alpha AND a perfect stripe paper.

Well, that was fun! Thanks for being with us Emmy and thank you everyone else for reading along with me. :)

Here’s a little gift for hanging out with us today. It was created by August Guest- April! Thank you April!
