Hope you have a awesome week!

Shannon, Valerie, Sarah, Mara, Melissa and Robin :)

WOW! What a response!

I just wanted to let you know that there are only few paper piecings left -- like 2! So if you want in -- get the PM to Shannon!

*{ARE YOU UP TO A CHALLENGE?}*

That's right! A challenge....what's this challenge you ask? Well, it's a challenge worth participating in....it's open to everyone....and the best part is you have the whole month of December to complete it!

It gets even better - you'll receive a free paper piecing and a sketch (which will be posted here, so you don't have to worry about printing anything out) -- all you have to do is complete a layout or project using the sketch as inspiration and the paper piecing and post it in the gallery.

What you need to do:

1 - PM Shannon for the paper piecing and she'll mail it out to you ASAP, so you have plenty of time to work on your layout or project.

2 - Complete your project or layout and post it to our gallery.

3 - Check out other project or layouts and leave some scrappy love in the gallery.

The DT will be voting on the projects and layouts and the winner will recieve a FREE JANUARY KIT -- THAT'S RIGHT -- A JANUARY KIT! How fun is that? What're you waiting for?

Here's the sketch -- so you can start planning......a picture of the paper piecing used in a layout will be coming ASAP -- we have a raging case of pink eye going on in our house right now, along with a husband who's been laid out flat on his back for the last 4 days.....fun times, fun, fun times!

Here's a photo of the sketch(there will also be a photo on M2R too):

M2R DT CALL! :0)

for the BEST projects. Rather, we are looking for designers who fit
into our friendly and encouraging community and are interested in helping us GROW and add new members to the site! We would prefer that you are on only 1 other DT, other than M2R so that you can be 100% committed.

February Featured Scrapper!!

We are SO PLEASED to have the talented Melody Z. as our Featured Scrapper for February!!! Read a little about the talented Melody and be sure to Congratulate her!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi ~ I’m Melody Zahara and live here in Canada on Vancouver Island, BC. I’m married to my best friend Monte, have 2 wonderful daughters (Juanita and Mel Jr.), two fabulous grandkids (Hayley and Tavis) and a great son-in-law (Derek), whom are all the main focus of my scrap booking. I’ve been scrappin for about 3 ½ years now..and yep..I’m *totally addicted*. I scrapbook to preserve our memories and as an outlet of energy and creativeness (and sometimes just to relieve stress). I love to try new techniques and am not afraid to step out of the box. I love freestyle, shabby chick, white space los and WUV cutting with my xacto knife. I especially love flowerz and dimension on my los. I love challenges, snappin pics and editing. Outside of scrappin, I spend time with the family, snappin those pics, drawing, painting with watercolors, cross-stitching and love the outdoors ~ camping and sitting by the fire. I’m learning to play the guitar and love to cook. Scrapbooking has become a part of my daily living, from snappin those pics to creating los to thinking of those creations and sometimes even going to bed dreaming of that next lo.






















CONGRATS MELODY!!!! Be sure to stop by the M2R forum to congratulate her! :-)

It's almost time....

for the February M2R Kit to be released!!!! Be sure to check in at M2R this Friday at about 7am because that's when the kits will go on sale. I have a sneaking suspicion that these are going to go REALLY fast and I don't want you to miss out!!!!!

Pick of the Week!!

Congratulations to SARES (Sara G) for her Giggle Layout being chosen POTW!!!!!

DT Pick of the Week!

Congratulations to Sares! Her "Beach House" layout was chosen as the DT POTW!!!

Laura's Mid-Month Challenge

Laura, the M2R featured diva of the month, has come up with an exciting challenge for you this month...

Now that everyone's settled in to 2008, it's time for a challenge! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make a page about yourself. This page should either reflect on the you of 2007 or focus on your goal(s)/resolutions for 2008. Or, even better, do both! Everyone who participates will be entered into a drawing for a RAK from me (I'm doing some major purging, so you'll get some good stuff!). Thanks for playing along!

Here are my examples:

Reflecting on me in 2007




















Focusing on my main Goal/Resolution for 2008



























We hope you'll jump in and participate in Laura's challenge! Have FUN!

January Design Team Challenges!

We've decided to change things up a bit here at M2R so instead of hosting TT challenges, we will now have two challenges a month that will be issued by our fabulous design team. You will have the entire month to complete them! Click HERE to visit the "Design Team Challenge" thread for January on the M2R messageboard. This month our two challenges are hosted by Valerie and Alicia. Check them out below!

Valerie's January Challenge...

My challenge is based on the 3 Things Challenges that I used to host here at M2R. For your layout, you will need to show these three things on your layout:

1. Scalloped Paper (I used the scalloped paper in the Jan. kit!)
2. Felt (I used a K&Co Felt Butterlfy)
3. Something Old (this has to be an older scrapbooking supply...I used the MM Foam Stamps)

You have until the end of January to complete this challenge. Everyone who has completed the challenge will get their name put in a hat...the more layouts you do that go along with this challenge, the more times your name will go in the hat. At the end of the month, I will draw a name and that person will win a RAK from me!!!! Please post your layout in the M2R gallery and link it back to this thread!!






















Alicia's January Challenge...

Seeing that we have a New Year starting how about a little Last-Year-Fun-Challenge!!

1. A year in review of photos!! Print your photos on cardstock, not photo paper. And at least 4 or more photos!!

2. Use products you already have on hand from last year!! That away you can make a bit more room for all those new goodies that are going to be coming out in the new year!

3. Chipboard!! Chipboard!! Chipboard!! As much as you like!!

You have until the end of January to complete this challenge. Everyone who has completed the challenge will get their name put in a hat...the more layouts you do that go along with this challenge, the more times your name will go in the hat. At the end of the month, I will draw a name and that person will win a RAK from me!!!!





















GREAT Challenges ladies!!! Can't wait to see what everyone creates!

January Featured Scrapper!

Congrats to Laura! She is our featured scrapper for the month of January!! :-)

Hi, my name is Laura, and I live near Atlanta, Georgia with my dog, Lila, and cat, Sampson. My pets are two of my favorite scrapping subjects. The other star of my pages is my 2-year-old niece who is the cutest and smartest kiddo ever! I’ve been scrapping since the fall of 2005, but have been an “artsy craftsy” person since childhood, always making a mess with some kind of project or creation. These days I would describe my scrapping style as Simple (in a Stacy Julian sort of way being my goal), Real and Well Journaled. I think it’s so important that scrapbook pages really tell our stories as well as show off the latest product. My day job is as an art therapist, so I love to inspire others to use art materials, including scrapbooking, to express themselves. I’m so excited to be the Featured Scrapper and can’t wait to continue to get to know all the members of our community better!

There's been lots going on...

over at the M2R site! First of all, we are very excited to welcome the very talented Jenni Smith to the Moments to Remember design team. Congratulations Jenni! We are so excited to have her join us and INSPIRE us! Click HERE to visit her blog.

Another congratulations goes out to Sarah Edens who has moved into our "Card Diva" position! We know that many of you make cards and Sarah has some AWESOME ideas to inspire and challenge you in the coming months! Start off your card making with our Jan. card kit (see paragraph below).

The other big new from M2R is that the January Featured Product kits are SOLD OUT! Boy, was that fast or what?! Fortunately for you, there are still a few card kits left and at only $12.50 each they are a steal! The card kit can, of course, be used for more than cards...it just is a smaller version of our regualr kit. It does include a clear stamp from Autumn Leaves, as well as Black Diamond Stickles. Click HERE to purchase one today. Sarah has made some AWESOME card samples with this kit and you can see them in the gallery! Click HERE to see what the fabulous M2R design team did with this month's kit.

Also this month we have an AWESOME quick tip from M2R design team member, Alicia Jarrell. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing Alicia! :-)

"If you have a die cut machine and some empty embellishment plastic pkgs, you can make your own "ghost shapes". The possibilities are endless!! Use the hard clear plastic part of the packaging. and run it through your machine! You can also ink the edges, add glitter to the edges, trace around the shape, or add patterned paper under the shape."

And finally a How-To from me, Kory Dordea...Click HERE for tons of exciting tips on organizing your scrapbook room!

Hope you're having a GREAT week! See you on the M2R messageboards! :-)
