Teamy Talk: Journal Me This!
4:16 PM | Posted by
Laura |
First up, I'd like to showcase our winner of the Who You Crushin' Awn Challenge, Angela! She chose to lift Olivia's Layout, and here was her entry:
For playing along, Angela snagged herself $10 to spend in my shop! :) This week, I'm challenging you to show me a NEW (as in, made after this post) page using LB product...that has a good amount of journaling on it.
If you know anything about me, I'm kind of a stickler for a heavily journaled page LOL! Even just more than a line or two can make such a huge difference in your digital scrapbook memory keeping. I like to think to myself...will my family remember this day? What if I'm not around to tell the story...will the photos alone tell everything that I wanted to show?
So do this for me, please. Create a new page using mostly my products (freebies are fine!) and post a link here in the blog comments. I'll be back in a week or so to choose a winner to receive $10 to my Scrap Orchard shop!
Need some inspiration? Check out these pages from my fab creative team members!
From Yolanda using To a T (retired)
From Carrin using Pawsitively
From Laura W. using Just Whip It
From Olivia using Pawsitively
From Kat using Back Off Collab w/Captivated Visions
From Laura using Martial Artist
From Laura using Cutiesaurus
From Gemma using Hooked Collab w/Valorie Wibbens
From LeeAndra using Boom!
From Melissa using Hugging and Loving
From Melissa using Hooked Collab w/Valorie Wibbens
From Carrie using Better Part of Me
From Holly Using Pinky Promise
And for all the Digiscrapapalooza 2012 attendees, I'll be teaching a class all about creative journaling techniques!
Happy scrapping!

Teamy Talk: August Week 2 {Who You Crushin' Awn?}
I asked my team this week....
"Which LB team member are you crushin' on lately? Love their scrappin' style? Dig their shadows? Think they're just plain hawt? Show me one of their pages that you really love!"
The challenge this week will be to choose one of the following pages, scraplift it and link us here in the comments.
-You do not need to use the same kit as the original LB CTM.
-You DO need to use at least 50% LB product.
The winner (chosen by me!) will receive $10 to my shop! You have about a week to enter :)
LB's pick: Coila!
I really love Coila's cute little clusters and her awesome shadow work!
(using Hooked Collab w/Valorie Wibbens)
Olivia's Pick: Carrin!
I love this layout by Carrin! The huge photo is awesome and I love the layering at the top. It's a gorgeous layout!
(using Girlfriends Collab w/Boutique Cute Dolls)
Christine's Pick: Laura W.!
I am pretty much in love with everyone here but I guess I have to pick one so I choose Laura W. I have always had a girl crush on her anyway but her scrapping is always divine!! I am gonna pick this one that I like a lot!!!
(using The Better Part of Me)
Carrin's Pick: Laura W.!
I'm diggin' Laura lately...I've seen her using blends a lot and, well, I wanna blend like her!
Carrie's Pick: Yolanda!
It's Yo for me. Her pages always just look so complete.
(using The Better Part of Me)
Melissa's Pick: Yolanda!
I have a major crush on Yo right now....I mean she and her hubs are too cute for words and this LO, with all the white space and perfect composition, major love fest!
(using Hooked Collab w/Valorie Wibbens)
Yolanda's Pick: Melissa!
I have a crush on Mel. Her use of multiple photos and amazing clusters make me helly jelly. I wish I could easily scrap using more than 1 or 2 photos and that my clustering was as flawless as hers!
(using Hugging and Loving)
Holly's Pick: Heather!
Uh everyone knows I am in love with Heather!! I just love her simple photoless pages and how amazing they always turn out...
(using Crabby Kid Collab w/Jennifer Fox - retired)
Coila's Pick: Laura W.!
This is one of my favorite pages by Laura!!
(using Urban Attitude Collab w/AnnaBv)
Laura W's Pick: LeeAndra!
I love LA's stuffs. It's something I totally can NOT do and I'm always just awed by her pages. This is my latest fave.
(using Boom!)
LeeAndra's Pick: Laura W.!
I love that LW has lots of multiple photo layouts (which are such a PITA for me) and the composition is always different and cool and funky + she manages to work in lots of fun elements, too.
(using Little Miss)
So there you have it! Choose one of these pages, copy the photo arrangement, the composition, the colors, the theme....have at it!

August Teamy Talk: Week 1 {Just Hangin' Out}
Hi scrappy friends! This week's teamy talk is just for fun :) I have a lot of super fun girls on my team...and decided to toss this gem out there. I asked the team if they had the chance to hang out with all the LB CT girls...where would we go and what would we do?? Grab some popcorn, LOL!
Yo: We'd go to NYC, get a huge suite in some kick-ass hotel and party like the rockstars we all are! \m/
LeeAndra: Oh, it would definitely have to involve Vegas, the Strip, alcohol, cell phone pictures, killer cocktail dresses, and a hangover in the morning! *lol*
LB: owow! :)
Jamie: We'd all be on a beach in our cute bikinis, with handsome, tanned cabana boys taking care of our every wish. The hot sun, loud music, lots of drinks, tons of yummy food! We'd dance the night away!
Heather: i would go directly into holly's pants. i would not pass go. and i would not collect $200. ;) And LB's!!
Holly: Gosh I think no matter where we go, if this whole crew was together it would be EPIC. We for sure be kicked outta wherever we are. Especially if Heather jumped in my pants! ;)
LB: umm jamie. don't think the rest of us are hot in bikinis like you are, skinny bish. ;) heather, no comment! ;)
Melissa: Jamie will be in a bikini by herself is all I know, ha! But since I love the beach, even if I don't look good in a suit lol, I say we all go to LA, party like rock stars, and get matching tats! Woot!
Christine: ok so we meet up at a huge cabin on a lake and just talk and laugh and eat and drink and then in the morning have a huge breakfast with loads of coffee and pastries and bacon and then hang out on the lake all afternoon and then it is dinner time with more food and drinks and then maybe we all go to a place that has go karts and have a blast...I guess in reality it would not really matter where we were as long as we were all together :)
JennB: I don't think it would really matter where we went, there would be uncontrollable laughter, bodily fluids, and general fun/debauchery!
LB: Brynn, you had me at 'bacon'. Jenn, what. the.
Yo: And by "Brynn," LB really meant "Christine." LOL @ bodily fluids o.O
LB: dude, i wasn't even drunk when i typed that.
Yo: Just a brain fart. I get them more often than I care to admit. Pretty sure it's a sign of old age. Just sayin'
Holly: Love it!
Carrin: I'm gonna say Australia...we could hang out with dingos, wallabies and the like. Maybe we'll even find a nice, cute bushman to call our very own!
Coila: I'd say Disneyland! My favorite place with some of my favorite girls!!
Brynn: hahaha....I do love bacon though. In fact my new favorite way to cook it is first it has to be the thick kind...then line a baking sheet with foil....lay out the bacon...sprinkle it with brown sugar then pop it in the over...soooo yummy. Anyhow am I too late to answer...I thought I already did but I guess not. Since we have a yougin on the team (aka Livy) I would say maybe Disney...that way if we had to bring kids we could all hang out together during the day gettin our Disney on...then we would have a built in babysitter for the night :)
Holly: Brynn i like that idea... lol not sure if Livy would! LMAO!
LauraW: we should all meet in my backyard! :P
Hope you had fun reading ;) I know at least a handful of my girls are coming to Digiscrapapalooza next year, so we always have that! :)

July Teamy Talk: Week 2 {Favorite Subject}
Hi all! First off, last week's random winner is...
Amber said:
July Teamy Talk: Week 2
Amber said:
"I'd have to say Back Off fits me pretty perfectly right now. I seem to be in a foul mood most of the time & just generally stressed out from caring for 2 small children 24 hours a day. I'd give just about anything for some quiet time alone!"
July Teamy Talk: Week 2
Livy said, "Not trying to self-centered but... me. My mom said it the other day that it's okay that I take a ton of pics of myself and that nearly every page is of me because 10, 20 years from now, I'll want to look back and see what I looked like and what I was thinking."
Carrin said, "My kids. Pictures are one thing, but scrapping them tells their story. I want the kids to be able to look back on all the books I have and have fond memories of their childhood."
Melissa said, "My nieces are my favorite subject to scrap. I want to preserve their story and childhood for them."
Amber said, "My boys are definitely my favorite subject! I want them to be able to look back when they are adults and see what their childhood was all about!"
Laura W. said, "I love to scrap my girls. Not the 'important' milestones, but the everyday stupid stuff we do."
Coila said, "My sweeties <3 I don't remember much of my childhood. I want my boys to remember and be able to look back at the things we did and times we shared together!"
Yolanda said, "My children. My own childhood photos, along with the stories they told, have been lost over the years. I feel I'm able to help my boys remember the events in their lives with my scrapbooking and that makes me super happy."
Brynn said, "Our family time together....the silly stuff that probably doesn't matter right now but someday I want my kids to know about. My mom died a month and 3 days after I turned 21. Before I was married or had kids of my own. There are so many things now that I wish I could ask her about...like what we would do as a family when I was their age...but I can't. I don't want the little stuff, as trivial as it may be, to be lost."
Kat said, "My kids. I don't print off regular photos of them anymore because I love being able to read the story I journal on my scrap pages....I know they'll appreciate them when they're older. They already love looking at them!"
LeeAndra said, "I've always been a storyteller, and my favorite stories to tell are the ones that reveal my friends' and family's personalities and quirks, something that really defines them as 'them,' know what I mean? Even though this page has no picture, it has a story that I will giggle abt every time I tell my DD (and, hopefully, her children), and I <3 that."
Holly said, "My son... who for right now is the only child. I want him to remember how much fun we had just me and him. The goofy times and the rough times and for him to know that he always will be my lil man, even if there are siblings someday."
Jamie said, "My favorite subject to scrap is my kids, but more specifically, the every day moments that we capture!"
And finally, my favorite pages are the ones scrapped about special milestones or events. I haven't been much of an 'everyday photo' scrapper lately, it seems. I love pages that sort of reflect an 'old school' photo album, but with a very 'me' and modern feel.
Want to win $10 to my Scrap Orchard shop? Answer this week's Teamy Talk question to be entered in the random drawing, with the winner being announced in next week's post!

I always love to scrap about my family so I can preserve the memories. And recently I scrap my little cousins. They have unique attraction and remind me how's a life supposed to be; fill it with joy and laughter.
