Another month, another Simple Scrapper blog hop and giveaway! We’re doing the giveaway a little differently this month so make sure you scroll to the bottom of this post and use the Rafflecopter link below to enter a giveaway for a one month trial membership at Simple Scrapper. There are three ways to enter and three winners will be selected. To be eligible, you must enter by 11:59pm CST on Wednesday, March 6.

I used one of the Story Starters this month – the theme is Adventures – to make a mini album of Pirate Day on my dad’s boat a couple of summers ago.

Super quick and easy to do when using a kit and one template!

I gave a peek of this album on my guest post over at Simple Scrapper last week and you can check out all the inside pages over at 2peasinabucket.

For the template sketch, I made a letter size, interactive LO of Miss M who actually wanted me to take her picture for once!

Adding the additional pictures behind the top one allowed me to keep them all at a large 4×6 size while still keeping the LO fairly simple and uncluttered. Plus, there’s loads of space for journaling too!

Again, you can see additional pictures in my gallery over at 2peas.

Make sure you check out what the other design team members have done – they have some amazing LO’s this month! The list is below if you have lost your way or want to start at the beginning. And don’t forget to enter to win the giveaway!

Blog Hop, Crop Circles, Sketchbook365

Welcome to the first ever Crop Circles blog hop!! We are a group of ladies who share ideas and inspiration on all kinds of scrappy projects. Most of us are either Newfoundlanders or have a link to the Island. We thought we would share our inspiration with you and have decided to use a sketch from Sketchbook365 to showcase our many different styles. You have until end of day March 3rd to complete this hop. For every comment you leave along the way your name will be entered to win a Stampin’ Up! bundle valued at $75! You’ll also have chances to win some blog candy along the way from individual bloggers. And I’m one of those bloggers so make sure you leave a comment here! contest is now closed

Here’s my take on the sketch:

Lots of flicked white and shimmer mist:

And of course, twine again, but with brads instead of eyelets this time:

Some real and some faux stitching:

And layers of lovely goodness:

Remember, you have three days to complete the hop and your name is entered to win the grand prize for every comment you leave along the way! Plus, you have a chance to win some Tim Holtz / Ranger blog candy here if you comment! contest is now closed.

Also, this sketch is the March Challenge on the Scrapbook365 blog and it’s open until March 15 so you should play along and maybe win a prize over there too! Leave me a link in the comments if you use it – I’d love to see what you do.

For now, hop along to Lori and give her some love!
