Challenge #7 : Journal it

Yes you read correctly, but we want Raw Journaling. Twist: Use office supplies & we want to see use some household Stamping {ie: lids, sponge, etc.} skies the limit. We want to be moved by your journaling. Scrapping is about preserving memories the good, the bad and  even the ugly. I know it's difficult to scrap the bad and ugly, but I have to say from my experience when I have scrapped these events in my life I feel some sense of healing, and empowerment like I have overcome what was hurting. I can't wait to see what you all come up with. Here are the personal memories of our Divas:

Challenge #6: First time

We have so many first time in our lives, like when you first met your significant other the first time you saw your newborn child, first time you became a mother or what about the first time you started an obsession as may I say Scrapbooking. LOL. Well our Dreamgirls Divas wanted to share with you their memorable first times.  This challenge is to create a layout about your First Time, the twist is to use ribbon/trim and stitching. Your stitching can be faux, hand or machine. We can't wait to see what you all come up with. Here's what our Divas have created:

Challenge #5 :Random doodling

Time sure flies! Can you believe we're on to our fifth challenge already?  We hope you are enjoying our challenges as much as we are. This week, we have a good one for you.  Sometimes it's fun just to be random. Share what's on your mind, with no particular rhyme or reason. Sometimes it's fun to doodle too. There's no right or wrong way to add some of your own artistic pen work.  So here's our challenge to you:
Scrap 5 random thoughts on a layout. The topic is your choice. But you must journal in 5 different locations on the page. Use journal spots or get creative like the DT Divas did. Your twist is to include doodling on your page. Have fun with it!

Here's what our Dream Team did:

You - Out of the Box

Hey there! Thanks to everyone who completed our third challenge. Our readers amaze and inspire us with their creativity -it is not an easy task to choose just one winner!  Keep on reading to see who it is.

Inspiration can be found in many places - galleries, ads, color combinations.   Our challenge for you is to take inspiration from this picture:

If it looks a bit familiar, it's because it's the template for our avatars here on this blog.  And the twists? Well, first, your layout must be about YOU.  Not your significant other, not your kids, just sweet little you.  Oh, and the other twist? You must use some corrugated cardboard and it needs to be visible. The rest is up to you. Here's how the Dream Team Divas interpreted this challenge:

Now onto the first challenge!

With a name like "Dreamgirls," we all agreed it would be fitting to challenge you to create a project that incorporated some form of the word DREAM. So your page can be about anything from your childhood dreams to the strange dream you had last night. You decide.
But wait, there's more... you see, we're always going to add a little twist or two to our challenges.  So here they are:
You must use scallops or curves on your project AND you must use paint in some fashion.

The Dream Divas created some amazing layouts to inspire you. You can view them here. Please take a moment to click on each picture to view all the dreamy details.

The Secret is out!!!

    Hello everyone and thank you to all of you for visiting all of Design Team blogs, it has been so hard to keep this secret.  Debbie and I have been putting it together for the last 2 weeks, and we have to say that we are really excited about this new venture. We were super excited when the very talented Design Team members accepted to be on this journey with us.  When choosing who we wanted for our Design Team, we thought it would be great to compile a team with different styles from classic, funky, freestyle, and shabby chic. 
So with that said I would like to introduce our Dream Divas:

Amy Cutler
Cheryl Nelson
Glenda Tkalac
Jeri Swenson
Lisa Houpt
Michelle McCord
SarahJane Dowsett
Tanisha Long
Please give them a warm welcome, give them a shout out.

    We created this blog challenge , to inspire and to take you out of the box, sort of speak. We will be posting our first challenge on April 1st. Our Dream Divas have already started creating their layouts for this challenge and they are already coming up with amazing work. I can't wait to share their work with all of you.
