Have Fun, Scrap & Win with Mere!

Posted on by

Happy Holidays Meredith fans!  I’m super excited to announce a new feature added to Mere’s blog — the Tuesday Challenge!  Here’s an opportunity for you to have fun, scrap,  play with some of Meredith’s amazing digital scrapbook designs, and possibly win a kit of your choice!  In addition, everyone who participates will receive Meredith’s Cool December mini-kit.

Using the advent calendar as an inspiration, we’ll make our first ever challenge together- a Recipe Challenge with only two ingredients.  First, since the advent calendar counts down the days to Christmas, your page must include two traditional Christmas colors –  red and green.  It doesn’t have to be a lot.  It can be as small as a red berry or green leaf or it could be the main colors of your page.  It’s completely up to you.  The second ingredient, taking our cue from the 24 days on the advent calendar, you must have at least 24 elements on your page.  For the challenge I’ll consider a single letter from an alpha as one element.  Easy peasy, right?

I used Meredith’s incredible kit “A Brand New Day“.

And created this page using a scanned photo from my engagement 12 years ago.  Yes, I’m just a tad bit behind on my scrapping.  LOL.

OK, let’s go over all the essentials:

  1. Include any amount of green and red on your page.
  2. Use at least 24 elements or more (a single letter from an alpha is considered one element).
  3. Use at least one thing in your page that was designed by Meredith.  If you don’t already have one of her kits  in your stash, she has plenty of freebies on this blog.
  4. Have fun.
  5. Post your layout in a gallery of your choice and link us up in the comments below by next Monday, December 20th, 11:49 PM PT.

I’ll be back next Tuesday to hand out participation goodies, choose the random winner of Meredith’s kit and a new challenge!

Got it?  Good!  Go Scrap!

Monday at Mere’s: Card Challenge

Posted on by

Hi there,  my name is Sara and I am one of Meredith Cardall’s Creative Team members.  I am here today to push you to get your digital scrapbook holiday cards created and printed to share with family and friends.

I have found that sometimes ordering the generic cards that some stores offer is not as fun as customizing my own.  Cards are not just for the holidays but can also be created and sent to family and friends throughout the year with updates and photos.  Being a Military Family, our relatives often miss out on the little things that happen with us and our children.  This gives us a way to celebrate each of their little achievements as well as giving family a keepsake they can keep with them and share with others.

I create my cards in a 4×6 format so they are easy to print and easy to send.  I purchase my envelopes (Invitation size) from our local store and these cards fit perfect inside and also look professional for sending.

So now for the Challenge!  Take the template and use it to create your card.  It does not have to be for the holidays, just use it as you please.  You can even change it and make it a 6 x4 card by rotating the template 90 degrees.  Please use at least 50% of Meredith Cardall Design products (Freebies also work!).  Upload this to your favorite gallery, come back here to the blog and post your link in the comments! On November 14th, one random winner will be chosen to receive a free kit of their choice!!!

Here is a preview of the Template:

I hope that you find inspiration in this Challenge.  Thank you for taking on this challenge and I look forward to seeing your card creations!

For truly professional printing, check out Persnickety Prints.  With their metallic photo paper or pearlized cardstock, your photo cards will literally shine!

Win a Kit Wednesday!

Posted on by

Happy Wednesday!  It’s Mel and today I am hosting Win a Kit Wednesday.  I am going to show you three kits from Meredith that you can choose from and all you have to do is let me know which kit you would like.  How easy is that?  A little too easy if you ask me, so I’m going to have you answer a little question as well.  So, still pretty easy but a little more fun too!

First, the kits.

First up is Ants not Invited.  Perfect for all those Labor Day picnic pictures!

Still need to scrap those 4th of July pictures? Fabulous 4th is a fantastic choice!

The last kit is Fish Out of Water.  I thought I would continue with the summer theme so that whoever wins can have the perfect kit for scrapping whatever summer pictures you still need to scrap!

On to the question…I have been missing quite a few of my programs in the last couple of weeks.  I think I’m behind on two episodes of Project Runway and I’m sure there are some other shows I have missed as well.  I don’t have a DVR but I do have Comcast and can watch my missed shows On Demand.  Since we are headed into fall and getting ready to start the new television season, what show are you looking forward to watching the most?  And, don’t forget to let us know which kit you want in case you happen to win!
