Leah made cool edges on her card with scraps.

I just love her fun card for spring!  

You will receive this Pink Paislee Hello Sushine collection pictured below:  

A big thank you to our sponsor! Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and good taste!  We love you, Vanessa from Butterfly Reflections Ink - you are an awesome business owner and friend! 

For your information, in Japan here, we have a bunch of holidays grouped together into a week, known as Golden Week.  During this time, I will be doing some spring cleaning and much needed reorganization and tidying (yes…the scrapspace is on the list, too!)  So I hope you understand when I announce our challenge is taking a break for a the first half of May…we will return with a new *mixed* challenge on May 14th.  Because of the long break, the challenge will run a bit longer…until June 1st.

Oh, I am thinking to have the challenges start on a Wednesday and end on a Sunday (regularly it will be about a week and a half to finish the challenge, giving me time to prep the posts etc before the next challenge).

Also, I would like to have your input on prizes… would it be preferred to have a prize pack (pre-picked) or a gift certificate??  I was thinking about rotating one prize pack and one gift certificate.  Would you prefer May's prize in goodie form or a gift certificate?? Send me info to my address:  makescrappygoodness@gmail.com or any other the other ways you know how to contact me.  :)

Have a great week and may it be Golden!!

Mint Chocolate Project Life Cards

For the second challenge in March - Mint Chocolate - I decided it would be fun to created some project life journalling cards.  It was a lot of fun stamping and embossing on the Becky Higgins grid cards.  I made a video on the cards I made, in addition to showing the process of how I made a few.  

Here are the full sets of cards I made:  

I loved adding tiny brads to these flowers, giving a nice accent to the embossed bicycle.

What a great saying.  I added bling to the tiny flower and some glitter to the stamped flowers.

This mint enamel dot looks perfect in the middle of my camera, doesn't it?

I did some watercolour and glitter along with some embossing.  Thought this chocolate saying was cute.

I added sprinkles to this watercoloured cupcake using glossy accents and glitter.

Here I did some inlaid die-cut technique I learned from Papertrey Ink and added some cute accents.

I loved added the twine to this card.

This was my fav card, resembling my previously shown card for the challenge.  :)  

Say Yes to this challenge, please!  Hope you are inspired to joining us.  Thanks so much for dropping in.  

 

My supply list can be found on my website here.
