The Sugarplum Recipe Challenge
Hello all – Niki here (aka bexy) doing my first blog challenge!! I hope everyone has had a great week!! Mine was busy, busy, but lots of fun! Now this week we’re going to do a ‘recipe’ challenge. That means that I’m going to give you all a list of ‘ingredients’ to play with so you can make your own delicious custom creation! The recipe is as follows:
- take 3 papers
- add 2 photos
- mix in one trim (ribbon, string, lace, etc.)
- sprinkle on 4 elements (hearts, flowers, brads, frames, you name it)
- and top off with some personalized journaling!
Here’s one from me…I used the NEW Strawberry Au Lait kit, Tough Stuff mini, Calico Harvest, and First Kiss of Spring on my layout:
There you have it!! Easy peasy… and have fun with this!!!
Please use mostly Sugarplum goodies on your layout. You can find Nicole’s stuff at the Sugarplum Paperie shop and at The DigiChick. Nicole has had TONS of freebies, so don’t feel like you can’t play because you haven’t been able to shop.
Upload your layout to any gallery you want, and leave a link to your layout in the comments section of this post. You have until Thursday, February 6th to complete the challenge and one lucky person will win a $5.00 gift certificate to the Sugarplum Paperie shop!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
And I’d also like to announce last week’s winner: Congratulations to Sharyn!

I hope you enjoy the kit and all the creative beauty from the girls! Happy scrapping!
Creative Monday
Welcome to another new week! Wow… my weekend went fast! I took a break from e-mail the whole weekend and now that Monday is here, I’m not so sure that was the best idea—my Monday has been crazy! I’m certainly ready to look at a little creative beauty, are you?
Here are some beautiful layouts that the girls created last week! First, here are three from Denise, Christine and Bexy, each using a piece from the new Project 365, Part 2 embellishment pack (just click to enlarge these layouts):
And here are three warm-toned beauties from Bexy, Diana and Becky:
And finally, here are three lovely layouts from Diana, Crystal and Becky, all using the First Kiss of Spring collab:
Gorgeous! They do such beautiful work! Be sure to click on their names to go to their galleries to leave them a little love. It means so much!
Well, I’ve been doing a pretty good job of keeping up with my own Project 365. I’ve just been really bad about getting the photos out of the camera lately! But I’ll have to get to work on that because I have to update my avatar—this weekend I got a hair cut and dyed my hair a crazy shade of red (pink? coral? cherry? I’m not sure what to call it yet!). I’m still trying to work with arranging my hair to look the way I think it should… and take a good picture with all the icky clouds that make it so dark everyday! Anyway, once I get a good snapshot, I’ll be sure to post about it for you on my other blog.
As always, happy scrapping!

The 365 Number Challenge
Hope you all had a great week, I’m just glad that Friday is finally here! LOL! This is my first post here. I’m Raji (my username is rsk everywhere) and I’m a guest CTM for Nicole this month. I’m so excited to bring you this week’s challenge.
Are you doing Project 365? I am and I’m really excited about it. I’m not sure if I can keep up, but I’m going to try!! I started a blog for this, but soon realized that I’m only stressing out by trying to post there every day. I just decided to scrap one page per week.
This week’s challenge, should you accept it, is to scrap a Project 365 page. It could be a page summarizing your week or a page with photos from one day. If you are not doing the project 365, your challenge is to scrap something with a number, like a 2nd birthday or 10 random facts about you or just anything with numbers.
Here are a few layouts from Denise and from Sharon for your inspiration:
And here is my layout using the new Project 365 embellishments:
Please use mostly Sugarplum goodies on your layout. You can find Nicole’s stuff at the Sugarplum Paperie shop and at The DigiChick. Nicole has had TONS of freebies, so don’t feel like you can’t play because you haven’t been able to shop.
Upload your layout to any gallery you want, and leave a link to your layout in the comments section of this post. You have until Thursday, January 29th to complete the challenge and one lucky person will win a $5.00 gift certificate to the Sugarplum Paperie shop!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
Also, let me announce last week’s winner. It is Cristina again because she was the only one to play along with last week’s challenge. Congratulations to you! You can see her pretty layout here.
