I live in Maryland with my hubby of 7 years and my two little ones (ages 4 and 2) who keep me hopping all day long! I work part-time as a School Psychologist, and full-time as a mama ;-) I started scrapping 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my son, and it didn't take long for me to become addicted! Thankfully, my wonderful artistic husband supports my habit (I mean hobby!). I feel very blessed to be on the design teams for the manufacturers Fancy Pants and Luxe, as well as the online store/kit club, Create My Keepsake. My work has been published in Memory Makers and Scrapbook Trends magazines, and you are always welcome to visit me on my blog: http://www.creatingmyeveryday.blogspot.com/Here is her challenge and example:
My challenge is to use chipboard as a guide to do hand stitching. For my layout, I poked holes with my stitching needle around each chipboard letter in my title, and then stitched through the holes. You could use this technique not only on letters, but on shapes as well. You could also use grungeboard, acetate, or anything else that has some thickness to it - the possibilities are endless!
Your deadline is July 11th. We hope you will join us! Make sure you link your projects to this thread. There is a fabulous prize pack from Lily Bee Designs for the winner. If you havn't seen thier product just click on the link to go check it out. My layout (brenda) was created using Lily Bee rub on's and paper! Here are the layouts from the team!

this was a great challenge to try something I'd never done before. I used a set of concentric chipboard circles to come up with this:
