Member Monday

It's been a little while since we've done this, but here we are at the last Monday of March already. Summer will be here before we know it. I know it doesn't seem like that, but it will. I hope.

Speaking of summer, my pick for layout of the week this week is this bright, sunny, happy layout by new member luvalotmum.

Doesn't it just make you long for the warm sun?

I also love this adorable mini card set, which is also bright and fun by not so new, but returning member niknik.

Well, Celeste just posted the Feb. reveal a few days ago, but we also just had the March reveal, and the DT gals did such a great job with these kits. You can see more on the message board or in the slideshow to the right, but here are some of my favorites.

March Kits

Wow, I am so glad that March is here and Spring is on its way. I cannot wait to start scrapping some springy layouts, and the Sugar kit this month is perfect for spring layouts. Between blue skies, green grass and plants and brown earth, this kit represents it all. The new Twig line by Little Yellow Bicycle was my absolute favorite new release at CHA-W, and if it was one of yours too, you will want this kit.

The Spice kit doesn't evoke those typical colors of spring, but I definitely think the gold color gives it a sunny feel, and I absolutely love the crisp, clean navy and turqoise blues in these papers. This is the perfect line of paper for a spice kit with masculine patterns of stripes, herringbone, plaid, and argyle, with just a little bit of floral thrown in. And My Mind's Eye doesn't disappoint. These papers are such high quality. My favorite part of this kit, though, is probably the brand new Faded Blue chipboard alphabet by Cosmo Cricket. It's the perfect touch for these papers.

Both of these kits are up for pre-order in the store and will be shipping around the 25th of March.

Spring Cleaning Use Your Stash Challenge

Well, Crowned is wrapping up today as we say goodbye to February. Today is the last day to get in your Talent show competition layout and we will soon announce who will reign as the 2011 Queen of the Dango.

I am sad to see Crowned end but not really sad for February to end. Especially after some crazy winter weather last week here in the Pacific Northwest (still nothing compared to what most of you have gone through this winter), I am ready for March and for the beginning of Spring. To celebrate Spring and to get our scrap stash cleared out to make way for all the new scrappy stuff that debuted at CHA-Winter a little over a month ago, Scrapdango is going to be doing a month long Use Your Stash Challenge called Spring Cleaning.


There will be a list of items that you will get points for on any projects you complete during the month and there will also be special challenges brought to you by the design team that you can earn more points for. To get points, all the items do need to be from your stash and at least 6 months old. The sign-in thread for Spring Cleaning will be up on the forum soon, and this will be a great opportunity for everyone to get lots of scrapping done and use up that stash and possibly win a prize at the end of a free past kit.
