I started scrapbooking since 2009, and was hooked since! It is really a great hobby to splurge in. It can be pricey sometimes (most of the time) but the outcomes are just priceless. I love how I can cherished the memories and turn it into something beautiful. My DH, DS & DD are my inspiration. I love to play with colorful papers, especially bright ones and love all things nice like flowers, butterflies and bling- bling. Thank you Butterfly Crafts for having me as your Guest Designer for July :)</strong></p><br /><p><strong>Visit Mazlina's blog here - <a href="http://scrapperocks.blogspot.com/">http://scrapperocks.blogspot.com/</a></strong></p><br /><br /><p>You can see Mazlina's GD layout in our July Challenge post.</p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px;

I have been married for 11 years to my college sweetheart and have 4 princesses ages 9, 7, 3 and 8 months. I am the manager of our family household and a contributing writer to a local newspaper in our city. In between cooking, writing, taking my girls to school and generally taking care of our household, I scrap. And I'm pretty addicted to it. :-)</strong></p><br /><p><strong>I started fixing my pictures when I was in high school but got really serious into it in 2004 after the birth of my 2nd daughter. I lean towards clean and simple scrapping with strong journaling. I scrap as a way of communicating to my loved ones. Nothing is more fulfilling than a hug and an appreciated word from a loved one who has just read my layout's journaling. Scrapping is my form of relaxation after a busy day. I love the creative process --- choosing papers, looking for the right embellishments, thinking of my journaling. I am SOO addicted that I think of journaling and layouts in the shower, while breastfeeding, before sleeping, while changing diapers, while cooking, and in almost every spare time I have. I scrapbook because it is how I am able to express my love for my husband and children. I scrapbook because I am a storyteller and I love telling the stories of my children. </strong></p><br /><p><strong>You can find me at </strong><strong><a href="http://mcastrillo.blogspot.com/">http://mcastrillo.blogspot.com</a></strong><br /><br />Thank you so much Mia, it's a pleasure to have you design for us this month.</p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/217/0755DE9B751504F14F951BF3BC1E702E.png" /></a>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642463646111009008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776824828156624110.post-22979425519886098752011-06-27T14:21:00.002+01:002011-06-27T14:24:28.148+01:00May WinnerOur May winner is:-<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Mazlina</strong><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622889401288685522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 396px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnk2plKgJu1tr9n4mT_ke9e-unlvX6upowbxGa7QjqQYFvlIWk9RQ9oNnU3mykex99rxAxqiofYH3Z_K0U5dF7c9L4qk1xwctg-In9XEgc30fevXOyRTpQ2vfhewEVVoL7t9ALd4pp6fWF/s400/May+winner+Mazlina" border="0" /><br /><br />Mazlina please e-mail me at <a href="mailto:Butterflycrafts1@aol.com" target="_blank" closure_uid_dgx76o="501">Butterflycrafts1@aol.com</a> so I can give you your guest designer assignment.<br /><br />Thanks so much<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/217/0755DE9B751504F14F951BF3BC1E702E.png" /></a>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642463646111009008noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776824828156624110.post-63627712742977812012011-06-27T09:40:00.004+01:002011-06-27T09:53:03.443+01:00June Challenge<div align="left">Hi Everyone, so sorry this is late. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">Here is this months challenge, create a layout using this sketch<br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622817447182051106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3rrlT1iuL8I4SNeuXWquXSEjukkuBaXdYnAWpv3R7voXXkAnotXycZ6qKo0e6Jblh13OevnP9F7Vk1IYUgeY3um1XV9cij-kYvbiB5xEpEuxPDSsyhdme8xeEnm05Vy6FmAVk0i4x7b2/s400/June+Sketch.jpg" border="0" /><br />To play along please either leave us a link to your layout in the comments or e-mail a photo to Butterflycrafts1@aol.com by 14th July.

Along with my Husband, Greg and our 4 children, Will (10), Andrew (8), Hamish (8), and Maggie (6).</strong><br /><br /><strong>Weekdays I’m a SAHM and weekends I work night shift at the local hospital.</strong><br /><br /><strong>I started Scrapbooking when I was pregnant with the twins in 2003 . And truly I love everything about this craft, preserving our family’s memories, the creative outlet for me, meeting fabulous like minded people and in the past year or so I’ve discovered the online world of scrapping , blog challenges, forums etc. I think just about every day will find me doing something scrap related, if it’s not actually scrapping then it’s being online, taking or editing photo’s or all of the above. J</strong><br /><br /><strong>I’m not sure that I have any particular style, I like to try different techniques and generally I like to use mist, paint and masks on my Layouts. Well at the moment anyway! I tend to often also add some doodling or inking/distressing to the edges of photo’s or paper on my layouts.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Anyway here is my sample using the gorgeous picture as inspiration. I was inspired by the pink, yellow and black in the picture and I also tried to mimick the shape of the girls head piece with the masked hearts. And the flowers I made using this online tutorial<br /></strong><a href="http://ourbrightstarsandus.typepad.com/123challenge/2011/01/january-tutorial-flowers-using-punches.html"><strong>http://ourbrightstarsandus.typepad.com/123challenge/2011/01/january-tutorial-flowers-using-punches.html</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>Thanks for having me as guest Designer.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Here’s my blog address I love having visitors so feel free-<br /></strong><a href="http://leonieslife-leonie.blogspot.com/"><strong>http://leonieslife-leonie.blogspot.com/</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>Cheers,<br />Leonie Neal-Dawson.<br /></strong><br /><br />You can see Leonie's guest design layout later today......<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px;

I am married to a wonderful husband for 11 years and we have a 9 year old daughter, Nadiah, who is usually the subject in my layouts.I've been scrapping for almost 4 years now and love everything about it from the shopping to the planning, to putting everything together to make a layout or an altered item. I don't think that I have a specific style because I like to experiment and play around with new techniques and new products.

My life circles around those who are close to me especially my family, my friends and of course my boyfriend. They are everything to me and they always end up being the subjects to my scraps. Scrapbooking is now a part of who I am. Its my own little retreat of being artsy fartsy. It makes me happy and that is all that matters. Being on the team is an honor for me.

Sorry I was gone so long, I've had some major computer and Internet problems which I've only just sorted out so I haven't been able to go online for a very long time.<br /><br />When I was away I lost my scrapping mojo for awhile but I've starting making lay-outs again and managed to become a runner up in the Scrapbook magazine 'Scrapbooker of the year' competition which was a real confidence boost. So now I feel ready to start the blog again :)<br /><br />This year there will be some changes, the challenges will be just for fun with no prizes as I was finding it really difficult to find sponsors in the current financial climate.The winner of the months challenge will still become a guest designer for the next months challenge.

My name is Anna I am 22 and a Mummy to Jack aged 1 year. I live in Suffolk, UK with my partner Lee and Jack. I work part time in a Montessori nursery, which I enjoy doing, but my main passion is of course scrapping! I started scrapbooking originally when I was about 14, as my mum and godmother were both eager scrappers. I had a break from it during my GCSE's, Alevels and College Diploma. I got back into it about 3 years ago, shortly after I found out I was pregnant as I new I would want to scrap my pregnancy and of course my baby boy. Today I love scrapping more than ever, and enjoy the online world of scrapping aswell! I love photography as well and love to create pages using all of the scrummy products out there. I look foward to taking part in this challenge! </strong></div><div><strong></strong> </div><div><strong>You can visit my blog here - </strong><a title="http://www.mycreations-anna.blogspot.com/" href="http://www.mycreations-anna.blogspot.com/"><strong>www.mycreations-anna.blogspot.com</strong></a></div><br /><div>You can see Anna's guest designer layout for our June written challenge coming along ASAP.... </div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/217/0755DE9B751504F14F951BF3BC1E702E.png" /></a></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642463646111009008noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776824828156624110.post-74389921419582572842010-06-01T12:54:00.009+01:002010-06-14T07:13:19.879+01:00June Visual Challenge.....For our June Visual Challenge, we want you to use this advert to inspire a layout:<br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477774869146310050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 281px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Mytr3wtJh7kdpW8QPGVSg5nln1J9nfAz30BfSidFOPnATnujK5FFK0VZ7XmWWNzKftqQksSkytDne4bQ0HpKI3RTh2SEYoa-4y30kYqS9UJrvxwwWu9WlNXuxrCM9_TPq34v2yz6mpXk/s400/AD+2.bmp" border="0" />Please upload your layouts to our gallery, leave us a link in the comments or e-mail them to Butterflycrafts1@aol.com by 30th June.
