Reader's Submission: Sarah Hodgkinson

Sarah Hodgkinson sent us this wonderful layout this week to share with you.  For the base of her layout, she used Allison Cope's September sketch from the summer Issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today.  We love the way she has used the fun lined paper and the report card elements with a splash of vibrant red floral paper within her school themed pages.  Thanks Sarah!

Designer Challenge Monday - Kim Hughes

Hi everyone! Welcome to another week on the SCT blog. This week, design team member Kim Hughes is here to share a challenge with us today, and a project with us on Wednesday. Welcome Kim! Here she is with her challenge:

There are so many beautiful accents available among stickers, rub-ons and stamps.  I love adding glitter to them to "jazz them up".  I challenge you to add some sparkly to your non-dimensional accents.  I use liquid glue or a Sakura glue pen and super fine glitter.  Have fun!

Freebie Friday: American Crafts

Happy Friday everyone!  We're hoping that you are continuing to enjoy your summer wherever you happen to live.  Today's giveaway is all about alphabets!  I don't know about you, but I have a serious addiction to the American Crafts adhesive alphabets, Thickers!  If you're a Thicker lover like me, you'll absolutely love this week's giveaway.... the newly released "Delight" fabric Thickers by American Crafts (in a few colours too!)  These fabulous alphabets are a bit smaller than the typical brand of Thickers.  They are perfect for not only the scrapbooker but for the card maker too!  If you'd like a chance to win these wonderful products, leave us a comment below by next Thursday at 6pm EST for your chance to win.

Now... let's find out who has won last week's giveaway of some Jillibean Soup goodies!
