We’re doing the designer spotlight challenge a bit different this week….
So keep reading & then come and play with us!
——————————
With all of the little ones headed back to school – I just love the smell of new crayons – and watching as several friend’s children began kindergarten last week, well, it’s brought to mind everything that was fun during that first year of class.

Do you remember Show & Tell? Getting up in front of your classmates and talking about something “cool” and “fun” like your favorite stuffed bear, or the rock you like to keep in your pocket.

So, in honor of that spirit of fun…along with an “Oscraps” twist….here’s the plan for this week.

It’s time for an Oscraps Show & Tell!

1) Dig into your stash and create a layout (no specific theme – just have fun!) featuring some of your favorite Oscraps Designs.

2) Post the layout to the gallery (making sure to put a link in this thread).

3) In your post here, tell us why you love the kit/papers/elements/templates/word art (etc.) that you used.

That’s it. It’s your time to step in front of the class and shine! Tell us what you love about your Oscraps stash!

Who knows, there might be a treat in store for the “teacher’s pet….”

Also if you don’t have an Oscraps Stash – there is a great freebie section in the store find it HERE!!!

Tuesday’s Moment

Saturday’s Moment

Saturday’s Moment …ohhhh what a night we had last night .. Lots of laughter – good conversation and terrible singing!! LOL!! Someone thought it would be a great idea to bring the Karaoke machine to the bonfire. Can you conjure up the mental image of a bonfire, male soccer players, numerous coolers of cold beer (or in Peter’s case TallBoy cans of Cider and Smirnoff Ice) and a Karaoke machine?? Let me tell you it was an interesting evening. Peter sang a Bob Marley tune … lol …. I don’t think I have laughed so hard in a VERY VERY long time.

I worked today from 8am – 2pm … and sweat my butt off … gah!! But it was an ok day!! Now I’m just hanging out on the computer and working on some layouts!! THERAPY!! AHHHH!!! Oscraps is getting ready to have a Summer Fling next week while the shop is closed for the server move … be sure to come by and check out all the fun!! There will be lots of PRIZES and FREEBIES!!
