All About Me Blog Hop 8/11/2012


Welcome to Memories in Tyme Blog Anniversary Event day 11 - in celebration of the wonderful people who started my blog hops a year ago!  I really have had fun this past year with the hops I have had - and the ideas I have gotten because of those hops!  Plus the friendships I have obtained from the hops I have been in and hosted have been more than I could have asked for.  From that blogger blog then - to the format I am on now, where I can now get my jumbled up thoughts out of my head and create a site and business in which will be easy to learn how to create!

So, the challenges are designed to get your creative juices started - whether you make a card, a layout - or something else entirely different is up to you!  Please make sure you share with me your creation - I will be picking a few of my favorite projects and asking you to not only guest design, but also pick the project we will all be working on!  Let’s get started on the first challenge!

Today’s challenge is All About ME!!! When you look at your photos, normally it is you behind the camera, or making the preparations, but normally not in the photos themselves!  So, with this link up party and challenge - you will get a bit of both worlds, link up your projects that you have done AND a challenge to start your own album!  Memories in Tyme will have WEEKLY challenges for your All About Me album to get you started on your journey celebrating YOU!

Make sure you share with us your creations, next up on your list is Lisa at http://handmadewithlove-lisa.blogspot.com/ and then you will go to Lori after that!  But here is all three of us and the links if you need them!

 1. Lynda Jeffs - http://memoriesintyme.com/



My projects are digital layouts I have done with Me, my husband Shawn, my four children, Eric, Sara, Rachael, and Rebecca. I also have layouts that include my first and only grandchild Maxwell and my hairy kids named Pugsley and Tabby.



This digital layout was done by someone for my birthday.















 Make sure you share with us via the links below so we can see what you have all been doing!!!  And we have a few giveaways scheduled for the whole two weeks of challenges, so check back on the very last day for a fun list of what we are giving away! Now - your challenge is to create or share with us one of your favorite All About Me layouts!   You will get an extra submission if, you used everything from your supply and didn't spend money on this layout!  I love doing my "All About Me" album, and I hope you guys will learn to love them just as much!  Now, go check out these two projects...I know I'm excited to see what everyone has done

National Polka Dot Day Blog Hop 8/9/2012


Umpa. Umpa. Umpa. We are celebrating national polka day but adding a twist. Polka is to music and to DOT so we have created things that have POLKA DOTS on them. How fun! Instead of making Polka music our talented crafters have made things with dots on them.

Start with Lorby's World (http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com) and don't forget to leave a comment and become a follower of hers because she's giving away something or other.

Here are my polka dots...
My project is a pumpkin popcorn box that I designed and have for sale in my store at http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_197/Pumpkin-Popcorn-Box.htm. Hope you like it.

Thank you for stopping by and please continue on to Maria - http://joyfulstamper.blogspot.com.


FINAL LINE UP...

Lissa Marie -www.somanycrafts.com
Robin - http://scrapandchat.blogspot.com/ You came from here!!!
