We have a wonderful prize sponsored by Lawn Fawn, a stamp set of your choosing!  How awesome is that?  You get to pick the prize!  So what do you have to do to qualify?  First, be sure you "like" us on our Facebook page, then head over to Lawn Fawn on FB and tell them MPC sent you (not required but they'd love to hear from you!)

Be sure and comment on one or all of our trivia questions throughout the weekend.  Please only comment once per question, however each question you answer, earns you an entry!  Our design team has chosen the theme, "Creating with Paper Bags".  Yes, we're doing a little upcycling and making fun things with paper bags.  Be sure and visit their blogs below and show a little love.

 Check in throughout the day Saturday and Sunday, answer the questions and we'll announce a winner on Monday.  The contest ends Sunday, May 3rd at midnight ET.   OPEN TO INTERNATIONAL! YES!

Happy NSD!  I've made a set of ATC cards for those of you who scrapbook "Project Life" style with pocket scrapping.  My theme is Garden and each one is different, but they are all made using paper bags (even the quilled flowers!)  So check out my blog if you'd like more details, by clicking on my name:

Happy National Scrapbooking Day to everyone !! I have been wanting to start journaling, so what better time than NOW !!  Small lunch sacks were the perfect paper for me to use because it gives me a great medium to emboss, distress, color on, paint etc.without adding too much thickness to a journal... One of my favorite papers is Kraft so this was a great theme for me. Check out my BLOG for some of the other pages I made..

I made a paper bag album. It was a lot more work than I expected but I love how it turned out.

I made a paper bag album for my nephew.  These take such a long time but are so much fun to make.  Come check out my blog to see more pages.  Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

My Take on "The Shake"....

dEb here and I have a confession to make..... I absolutely LOVE shaker cards... I watch how-to videos, collect pictures of them, find them on Pinterest etc.... I have everything I need to make them.. Just bought the foam mounting tape last week. Sat down to make one this morning and somehow got distracted by these cute little envelopes I have had for awhile...Does this happen to any of you ?? I call it my Creative ADD...  I sit down to make 1 thing that is all settled in my mind and end up with something completely different... Like today's Shaker card... I had some of my Project Life  journal cards on my desk and put it in the clear envelope..Perfect fit--even had enough room to fold the end back... Then I spotted the literally thousands of sequins I have and VOILA !! My card was born..  The supplies were meant to go together.. It was like peanut butter & jelly, Barnes & Noble, Ben & Jerry's ..... I am already thinking ahead to more of these cards... I have some fabulous metallic sequins. They would be great for beachy cards... I can envision autumn colors, Christmas -- the possibilities are endless.... I still want to try a traditional shaker card but I am thrilled with MY take on the "shake"....Now if only I could remember where I got those little envelopes... Google, here I come !!
