Kick in the Pants

I have a friend who is an amazing scrapbooker, and does the most innovative things with supplies.  The problem is, she needs a gentle reminder every now and again of what she has, and needs a nudge to use it. While she was searching for an app, or a blog that gave daily product challenges, I remembered a blog template that I created back in 2010, and never made public. Mojo Hunting was initially supposed to be filled with funky challenges, and ideas to help when you just don't know where to begin anymore...well now it's been brought back to life,  but on a very simple scale. Every day I give a different item to use on a page. 

Since I'm not at the point anymore where I can complete a project a day, I've combined the first few items in a page.

First item 02/19: Felt (at least 3 pieces if possible)
second 02/20: Number stickers
third 02/21: 2 colours of ink

So if you are stuck, or just need a reminder of some of the cool things you've got hidden away, come visit me over at http://mojohunting.blogspot.ca/ 
You can also find Mojo Hunting on Facebook

I'd love to get some product ideas from you!
Happy Hunting!

Valentine's blog hop

Welcome to the Practical Scrappers Blog Hop 

where we are Scrapping our Stash.

If you're participating in the Blog hop, you should have arrived from Majken Pullin's Blog. 

 

This month the Practical Scrappers Team are using up the old Valentine's day product we had almost forgotten we had! Be sure to visit the Practical Scrappers Blog to learn about our sponsor Kiwi Lane Designs and find out how you could win a prize.

 

 

I didn't even think I owned any older Valentine paper when I started out on this challenge. Turns out I have a substantial selection in addition to the new papers I bought this year.

What I also have a ton of are hearts! Felt, chipboard, wood, satin, glitter, pins, buttons etc. I mean I use hearts on my pages, but with 4 boys, I tend to grab more stars and circles before the hearts get used- especially the pink glittery ones!

 

Materials: 

Pp: Fancy Pants Design, Echo Park

Chipboard and felt hearts: American Crafts

Satin and plastic heart: Dollarama

Tag: American Crafts

Buttons: Doodlebug Design Inc.

Border strips: Doodlebug Design Inc, Bazzill Basics Paper

Stickers: Pink Paislee, October Afternoon

Then I grabbed the new papers I had from Crate Paper's collection Love Notes. To make another Valentines day layout. I decided to use up some more of the hearts, some brads , and Jillibean Soup Die cuts (Arrows) that I made with my Silhouette.

 

I love how the chalkboard papers work with my blurry black and white photo. I loved this picture and just had to find a way to make it work.  

Materials: 

Pp: Crate Paper, BBP

Chipboard Hearts: Scrapworks

Satin and felt heart: Dollarama

Brads: Simple Stories

Stamps: Prima Marketing

Die Cuts: Jillibean Soup- Silhouette

In honor of Valentine's Day, and our Scrap your Stash Blog Hop, I'm going to give away a selection of heart embellishments from my stash for fun. Just leave me a comment to qualify for the random draw.

Next you should be headed to see what Lisa Peeples has done with her love themed goodies...

This is a big list of blogs, with many offering prizes of their own, so visit as many as you can.
