Good morning! Thank you to all of those that joined us at ScrapFest in Oshawa this past weekend. We were thrilled to meet so many SCT readers and glad so many were able to join us along with Caroline from Maya Road and John from Xyron for make n' takes, demos and classes. Speaking of classes, guess what opens today? Crop & Create Markham!!! Registration opens at 7:00 p.m. tonight on our website at www.scrapbookandcards.com. Classes have been posted here so be sure to register quickly as we only have 132 spaces available and some of the best teachers and design team members joining us!
Today we have Lisa Kisch joining us with a fun challenge...
"Hello, Lisa here! My challenge to you today is to use a definition as the inspiration for a layout. For the layout below I wanted to scrap my new fall hat-- a grey felt cloche.
Since a cloche is a little unusual, I thought it would be fun to look up the definition and use that as my journaling. There are a ton of dictionary websites, but if you go to www.OneLook.com you can put in a word and get links to it's definition on many different dictionary sites. From there I could choose from definitions that suited my layout the best.
Why don't you try using a definition on your next layout or card? Here are a few possibilities to get you going:
Friend, def'n:one closely attached to another by affection and esteem.
Autumn, def'n:the season of the year between summer and winter, lasting from September to November, when fruits and crops become ripe and are picked, and leaves fall.
Family, def'n:two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and reside usually in the same dwelling place.
I hope you will give this a try!
~ Lisa Kisch

I would love so much to win the collection today! I am new to blogs and after exploring this one realized it is a valuable resource to scrap booking and card making!I thoroughly enjoyed visiting it. I am a newbie to both of these so any freebies will be truly helpful. Thanks so much for the giveaways!
