THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS


As 2014 comes to a close, we wish to say some special thank yous.  We are a very small but talented challenge group and working at making our challenge blog grow.  Most everyone likes a challenge, so we decided to do two challenges each month and they would include a drawing for a prize. This meant finding sponsors. Pat, who did all the leg oops finger work getting sponsors, did a wonderful job.

Fave Project Month at SBP!

"This month's challenge is about reminiscing. We have all made cards, scrapbook pages and other crafting items. This isn’t just about paper crafting, anything project you have made. 
The challenge is to pick your favorite crafted item that you made and post a picture of it along with why it’s your favorite. If you posted about your item, then feel free to link that post"



Today I get to share with you my favorite projects - those I made for my son's wedding. From invitations to favors, menus to boutonnieres, ring pillow to wedding card treasure box, I put a lot of time, sweat and love into each  item. 
The wedding was beach-themed and my now daughter-in-law lived and breathed Pinterest and YouTube. I am blessed that my son married a fellow crafter!
One of the wedding gifts I gave her was a Martha Stewart 18x18 Scrapbook with refill pages. She is still filling that puppy up! LOL

 


After the wedding I scored a shadow box frame on clearance and made a montage of wedding photos and memorabilia.

So, these are my fave projects, the things that mark my fave memories. I hope you have some great memories and some favorite projects to share with SBP Challenge blog this month.

YOUR FAVORITE PROJECT OF 2014



Today is December 1st, the last month of the year. It’s a month when we gather family together, reminisce and make new memories. 

This challenge is about reminiscing. We have all made cards, scrapbook pages and other crafting items. This isn’t just about paper crafting, anything project you have made. 

The challenge is to pick your favorite crafted item that you made and post a picture of it along with why it’s your favorite. If you posted about your item, then feel free to link that post.

This is my favorite project. Unfortunately I had to go back to 2013 since I don't really have any favorites in 2014.
Why is it my favorite? Its a double layout about my crafting to go into an album about me. I made each item pictured, except for the baby, who is my grandson. By the way, that baby is now 15 years old  and 6 ft. 4 1/2 inches tall.

SPECIAL RULES:
1. You must do a current post about your favorite project of all your 2014 projects. 
2. Your current post should be about WHY its your favorite project. 
3. You must post a picture your favorite project.

MEET OUR NOVEMBER BLOG MEMBER OF THE MONTH CLERISSA LEWIS


Congratulations to our November Scrapbook Place Blog Member of the Month Clerissa Lewis . Many of you may know her but how much do you really know about her???? Clerissa joined Scrapbook Place on Sept. 08, 2013.   She resides in Utah, with her wonderful and loving husband Steve and their children. Steve is her better half, eternal companion and best friend.  He is a great husband and father and she is grateful everyday that he is all hers.  They have been married almost ten years now, and they dated for two years before that.   Clerissa is a workish from home mother of four children.  Her oldest child Jasmin is nine and she calls her my tiny dancer.  She was born blind in one eye, but dances like a dream, she shares.  Jasmin made a company team at the age of seven.  She and her family will be going to Disneyland in November as she will dancing in their Holiday Spectacular and also in a stage show. Jasmin keeps her mother very busy.  If you would like to see some of Jasmin's Blog please view this link really cute pictures of a lovely little girl www.dancingjasmin.blogspot.com  Next in the family is Ryken, he is six years old.  He is their little baller.  He loves to play soccer and basketball.  He is all boy in that sense.  He also loves to do hip hop.  He is a great helper and becoming quite the reader.  He loves to play minecraft and is very good at it.  Next in this awesome family comes Zackary. He is their three almost almost four year old.  He is in preschool this year and just loves it.  He also loves to do anything his older siblings are doing.  He too enjoys playing ball and doing hop hop and playing minecraft.  He is also a great helper to Clerissa as he is home with mom and little sister all day.  Last but not least  comes Alana she is seven months old.  She is their angel.  Clerissa and Steve were lucky to get pregnant with her ( Steve's R.A. meds made it difficult as he has been on them over 10 years.)  and then they almost lost Alana  to a chromosome disorder. When it rains it pours, later, Clerissa was also in an auto accident when she was eight months pregnant with Alana.  She is a huge blessing to their family.  She is the happiest baby and loves to snuggle and giggle.  She doesn't seem to know she is their last baby and they feel she should stay small longer, she is growing faster than any of their other children.  Please take a sweet peek at the Lewis Family blog the children are just cute as a button www.scjlewis.blogspot.com  Clerissa shares that she has been scrapbooking as long as she can remember.  She still has pages from when she was eight years old.  She loves the thought of preserving memories for when people can no longer remember them.  She didn't learn the art of card making until she was an adult, and says she will never buy another card.  Clerissa love cards because pages take her a while to get done but she can whip up a few cards in one sitting.  Clerissa shares that she just competed in a doTERRA biggest loser style competition and placed 3rd and her team placed 2nd, so she was really super excited about that www.thestampdr.com has some interesting readings from her .  Clerissa has a lot of things she does in her free time she sells and teaches about doTERRA essential oils and supplements, but mostly it is just sharing so that is why she say workish at home.  She has always been semi crunchy, and tries to do things healthier and finding essential oils has been a huge blessing for her family, especialIy for her  husband's severe R.A.  If  anyone would like more info about doterra don't hestitate to ask her. Clerissa's  website is www.mydoterra.com/lewis05 and a resource website www.everythingessential.me  She  also sells and uses Close to my Heart products, She is definately is an addict over there ;) that website is www.lewis05.ctmh.com if you would like to peek.  Clerissa has shared some layout pictures she has made below, enjoy everyone.  Congrats Clerissa for being selected as our Blog Highlight of the month.
