Simply Kincke (kĭnk'y)

So I’ve been working on some projects lately that have kept me busy. I just hosted an all day event on Saturday that went over very well. We started at noon and didn’t stop til about 11pm. . . almost 12 hours of scrapbooking, what’s better than that?! During that time I scrapped the rest of my New York City photos comprising of 13 pages. Wow! That’s more than 1 page an hour in addition to chatting, cooking, and playing games with prizes. I must brag – I’m good.
Anyway, here are some shots of selected pages from this event:

Before that, I completed three swaps from my previous meetup groups: a mini album page about me, a border swap for spring, and a color challenge card swap. Unfortunately, I didn’t get photos of the mini album or border swap, but here’s a photograph of the card. The color challenge was to use Pink, Green, and White as the main colors in the card.

What inspired this design was a combination of a 12×12 layout in a magazine and the “Welcome Spring” sheet of vellum I found. The layout featured the torn top and bottom layer and the grid-like spread. The spring paper followed the challenge perfectly, so I went from there. I enjoyed using a scrapbook layout to help with a card. At my all day event, I had a card make-n-take for Mother’s Day. The main point I made was that you can take 5-10 minutes after you complete a scrapbook layout and use the scraps to make a coordinating card. You can even use the layout to mirror on the card.

So I challenge you with this – when you complete your next scrapbook layout, use the scraps to make a card following the same theme and idea. Post comments and a link to your completed challenge.
