Challenge #17: Always Room for More!

In all the magazines, most of the layouts that are published only have one picture.
Sure, they're wonderful and amazing photos...but most of us have way more photos to be scrapping them one at a time. Let's face it, photos are probably the thing we have the most of!
In fact some of us are eyeball deep in amazing photos and if we did them one at a time we may never get to all of them in our lifetime.

This week's challenge is to scrap 5 or more photos on a layout or project.
Load up those pages with your amazing photos.
Fill every inch if you want, just add more than 5 (or at least try) on a single page.

And don't forget to post your fabulous pages in the slide or comments section, so that we can all be inspired by your extreme photographic use!

Queen of The Crap : Traci Keriazakos

Huge Thanks to Nancy Jones for hosting our Foam and Bling parties the last couple weeks, you have been a noble leader.
But now, ladies and gentleman, prepare yourself for our new Queen's reign.
She's such a pro, she had her own crown!


Name: Traci Keriazakos

Blog Address: I don't have a personal one, but I do a lot of posting at The sisterhood.

Any other websites: Only the best one on the net! :) www.scrapinstyletv.com

Crafts you dabble in: You name the craft and I am sure I have all the supplies readily available to do it!!!!! Seriously!

Favorite color(s): Orange, yellow, black, brown, and red

Do you have a room of crap, a closet of crap or a shelf of crap? Room full!!! and a closet that has some stuff in it, OH, and a cabinet out in the living room with some more stuff loaded into it..........

What supply to you have the most of? Ribbon! Dang, how did I get sooo much???

What supply do you hoard the most? All of them. I get stuff that I love and I am scared to use it because I love it so much I can't bare to not have it anymore. I also hoard so I can organize it over and over again. I have literally sat on the floor just fondling my patterned paper. I truley believe someone needs to start a 12 step program for someone like me!

What brand do you use the most? Daisy D's, American Crafts, Sassafrass Lass

What brand do you own the most of but use the least? Basic Grey

Keep your scraps or throw them away? Depends on how big they are. Smaller ones get tossed. Bigger ones get filed into color coded envelopes. Did I mention how much I like to organize my stuff?

Organized or perfectly chaotic? MUST be organized! I have such a hard time when things start to feel out of control. I can't create in a messy room. Cannot!

Crafting motto? Get 'er dun! I was actually saying "Enjoy the process" long before anyone else. It is my motto and it was stolen from me!

Create with friends or alone? Both! I get more done when I am alone but it is so fun to work with friends around. Getting together with my SISters is the best!

What supply do you need a challenge for so that you will use it up? Hands down, ribbon or patterned paper!!!!! Can someone come up with a project using like 25 pieces of patterned paper (whole sheets please) and like 25 yards of ribbon??? That would at least put a ding in the stash!!!! :)

Challenge #16: Foam Party!

Wanna go to a Foam Party?
No, not the messy kind you see at the frat house.

This foam party will help you use up all those foam stamps you bought when they first came out, you know the ones.
You thought you would use them so much.
They were the hottest thing for a while there, all the companies made them, Lil' Davis, Making Memories, Heidi Swap....
And there they sit collecting dust, some never used!

So this week, pull out those foam stamps...letters, shapes....whatever you got and try to use 5 or more on your layout or project. Can't use 5? Then try to use as many as you can.
Gold star for the person who uses the most.

And remember to link up your Foamtastic Creations in the comments section of this post, so we can see how you got foamy with us!

Challenge #15: Bling It On Baby

I think the sparkle has always been around.I mean, how long have diamonds been a girl's best friend really? But this recent trend of really laying on the bling, I have to admit, I thought it would be short lived, but it looks like the bling may be here to stay.

So whip out your rhinestones, gems, jewels...Sprinkle on that glitter and glimmer mist...Pull out your sparkle paper and let's get crafty!
This week we are looking for projects that sparkle and shine like diamonds or vegas? (whichever you prefer...lol ) Don't be stingy with those blingies either, we are trying to use up our stash, so lay it on thick, so we will all need sunglasses to view the blog this week!

And remember to link up your great flashy projects in the comments section or add it to the slide so we can all be blinded!

Challenge #14: RAK Challenge

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

This week we are sharing all the great projects from fellow bloggers who took us up on the challenge to scrap OUR crap!
Yes, that's right, we are not only trying to use up our crap but when we can't, we pass it on to others. These fabulous crapper scrappers have created such different projects with the same item, we are amazed and we are sure you will be too!

The item we are scrapping with this week comes from my good buddy, Elizabeth.
While visiting Mississippi in February, she was kind enough to share some of her crap with us.
Of course, I didn't need any more...but who turns away free?
And the girl has some good crap.

Now on to the projects...
