Fabulous cards all around! I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels inspired to go make some lovey dovey cards for my better half right now.

For this week’s challenge: since Valentine’s Day is just over a week away, let’s go with a Valentine theme, but to add some interest I want to see Valentine cards with fabric! I’m loving all the cards,  layouts, and projects I’m seeing around the web recently that utilize fabric in a clever way. Please email photos (I’d prefer photos over blog links pretty please!) of your cards to paiget@scrapbooktrendsmag.com by next Friday February 12th and I’ll have another challenge gallery post up that same afternoon. Until then, hope you have a great weekend and following week, and here’s to getting crafty!

Totally cute cards right?! I’m in awe. There is so much talent in the world, you guys are amazing!

For this week’s challenge: Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away, so I want to see lovey dovey cards – BUT – I don’t want to see any red or pink! How’s that for a challenge eh? That way these cards will be able to get used throughout the whole year, and not just on the one designated day of love. Please email your submissions to me at paiget@scrapbooktrendsmag.com by next Friday morning (February 5th) and I’ll have the post up in the afternoon. Have a good week and happy scrapping!

Incredible cards, right? Thank you so much, as always, for playing along! So for the next challenge, before we delve into Valentine cards for a few weeks, let’s take a week to feature cards that use squares. Whether they’re made from punches, die cut, stitched, or your very own hand and scissors, squares are a great repeating element to use on a card. Here are some great cards that were published in the January 2010 of CARDS to get your ideas flowing:

Until next time, stay warm, dry, and keep on scrappin! Oh, and if you’re CHA this week and you see me wandering around, say hello!

Love You by Maile Belles

Valentine’s Day is just over a month away, but love is always in season! Use this card for the basis of your card – whether it’s the same colors, has the same “love” theme, or includes a polka dot background and scallops; use this card as a basic start. Please email your cards to paiget@scrapbooktrendsmag.com by next Friday January 15th and I’ll be back then to post my favorites and a new challenge. Until then, have a great week!
