feb09vsbna- Warm Up
I am SO ready for Spring. Not sure how it's been where you all live but here it's been LOTS of Snow, Ice and very wintery cold temperatures. I'm SO ready for it to "WARM UP".
Speaking of "WARM UP I thought we could get warmed up by getting started by playing with one of the great sketches I found here on SCS. Take your pick or do all 3....up to you
Be sure to use KEYWord: feb09vsbna for uploading, also don't forget to use the codes that go with the sketch you select so your page shows in both galleries :mrgreen:

Here's Sally's for this week: 02/27/09 - SBSC

Here's Amy's for this week: Unity 022709

Let's WARM UP with one of these fun sketchs as we get started

feb09vsbnb - Think Spring!
It looks like I'm not the only one wishing for SPRING! Peggy gave us a great challenge on Wednesday & since it appears that only a few of us have had a chance to complete the page so far, I thought it would be fun to include in minivsbn!

SBVC65...ready for spring?...2.25.09.
I am so ready for spring....spring rains, flowers, green grass, shed the flannel jammies and go for walks without the sweaters and coats. Your challenge today is to get your inspiration from the word "spring". You can use the word in your layout, it can be used as a verb, even the word spring can remind you of certain colors, things you do or places you go in the spring.

Be sure to use KEYWord: feb09vsbnb for uploading, also don't forget to use the code: SBVC65 so your page shows in both galleries :mrgreen:

feb09vsbnc Thinking of GREEN
Here comes March and with it "St Patricks Day". ST Patricks day is all about GREEN ... unless of course you want a pinch. Green is such a nice color at that time of year to think about because it's just beginning to peek out everywhere. It's time to add GREEN to your next page....You can do a monochromatic ALL GREEN Page or just a hint of green somewhere but either way get lucky and finish a page with GREEN!

feb09vsbnd-- Spring Break!
I have to laugh because my youngest DS has a countdown on his whiteboard to SPRING BREAK! Do you remember the feelings of Spring Break and having time off after the winter? Well now it's time to "cut loose" and come up with a "Spring Break" page! Woohoo! Go crazy, try a new technique, do something you don't often do....whatever! Let's see your version of a "Spring Break" page. Be sure in your description, tell us why your page reminds you of "Spring Break". It can be anything -- party pages, a walk in the park, vacation, laying around...whatever, get out those picts that remind you of the Spring Break feelings!

Be sure to use keyword: feb09vsbnd for upload!

feb09vsbne -- Oh Yeah, SPRING The best part of Spring is the "freshness" in the air, cool mornings and warm afternoons and the sun shining again. Ahhh Spring! Let's do a page that just feels like SPRING!

S -- scrap or scraps -- use a scrap or scraps of something
P -- pretty paper -- get out those pretty dsp and let's see 'em
R -- Ribbon -- oh yes, time to add some color or texture w/ ribbon
I -- Ink -- stamp some images or ink the edges, just get out those inks
N -- New -- this can be anything -- even new technique
G -- Greens, Golds, Golden Yellow, Great Oranges --- get it?

Be sure to use keyword: feb09vsbne for upload!


feb09vsbnf -- The Best Part -- Flowers! My favorite flowers are tulips and crocus are close 2nd! They are both LOVELY Spring Flowers. I love Spring flowers! It's so nice to see them after a cold winter. So it's time to "spring out the flowers"! Whether you add just one or 2 for a "hint of Spring" or lots for an all out bouquet, let's put color on our pages with Spring flowers! Try to add a couple different kinds (diecut, punched, primas, acrylic, stamped).

[Silvermel]

I'll be lurking here and there while I am still at work and hopefully I can do a little scrapping this evening. I made my Feb goal yesterday, but I am a few pages behind my overall goal so it would be nice to catch up a bit as we head into March.
Can't wait to see what's up first!

Now Lela - you've been out of town all week and I know that your DH and DS are big enough to fend for themselves....

I think this is one of the biggest challenges of a "virtual" crop. Our families don't realize that we are not "really" here. On that note, I'm going in to get some scrappin done before they find me!

[cassie_lu]

I'm here. I'm here. Now to read the challenge.

[rdoak03]

great sketches to choose from. I need to spend a little bit unpacking and organizing from the crop I went to last night, then back to scrapping!

[Mousey'sMom]

Yea!!!! I want to stay and play...and hopefully I'll get some time to..but I've got a BIA project I started on this AM and want to work on some first. I'll be in and out to chat with you all!!!

[Penascodragonfly]

yay, I'm thinking

[Penascodragonfly]

wow, 70's music is on, cashews on hand, diet coke with a fresh lime, and oh my I do believe there is some Valentine candy I've been hoarding for this special occassion....

[Lmn]

well, the family is able to make their own lunch but now that Mom is home for a day, they are enjoying me making it for them. They'll be back on their own tomorrow thru Wed. ;)

[cla616]

ooOoOooo good challenge, just got back from a workshop focusing on the Decor Elements, I am beat, but love these sketches!

[cassie_lu]

I'm going to Misti's to scrap Girl, you have the set up going.

[stamptician]

I'm here Girlies!!! This is such a rare treat for me. So excited to be here with you guys today. Now, let me go back and check out the first challenge. ;)

[stamptician]

Wow, some awesome sketch choices Lela. I may just have to try them all. :mrgreen:

[rdoak03]

Good to see everyone! I finally have some pictures chosen... I was planning on working on my wedding album some more, but the sketches looked so fun but not really matching my wedding style. So how bout some college freshman year pics?

[mepylant]

Hey I'm here!
I was talking to Misti in the chatter thread and my puter froze up!!! grrrr! I just now got it back up.

Hey Lela! :-D
I luv the 1st sketch, those circles!

I've got to get ready in 30 min. (DH got an itch to socialize!!!!) So I'll try to play while I can :mrgreen:

[Penascodragonfly]

Hi I'm waving! c'mon over Cassie, I have PLENTY.....lol

[Penascodragonfly]

ooh Mel think about us while youre having a night out.

Yup, there's always that prob of what if you like the next challenge better :p

[grammawamma]

Lunch over, still need to roll out pizza dough before it explodes out of the bowl! The sketches are not working with the pic that I want to use, so I think I'll just do my own thing and use a sketch that is laying on my desk! They are great sketches and I'll do if I have time, but really have to do the other!

[cassie_lu]

You are evil Gina

[shastess]

Hiya girls! Boy has it been a long week! AND a LONG time since I have done any crafting - I think I lost my mojo!

[shastess]

Theme is so ironic! We woke up to 4-5 inches of snow!

I'm here, just had to pop on to scraptastic and post my American Idol LO. Woohoo! I'm so happy with how it turned out.

[rdoak03]

I am at a loss as to what to use for the small circle embellies on Diana's sketch. Buttons just don't seem right for freshman college "women:. Any ideas?
