This week your challenge is simple...document that first! It could be a first step or a first tooth...or first prom...you get the picture. :) Just scrap that first.
Remember to send your completed challenge layout to me at jenns@sweetpeascraps.com by the 25th of the month to get your name in the drawing!! Have fun and can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Ah yes, the joys of ordering each month! You would think it would be easy. Pick out products, order products, receive products, sort products into a marvelous kit, ship products to dt, then to customers. But it almost never works like that! We just got in our fabulous October Afternoon papers for the November Kits - but the chipboard wasn't there! Turns out it's not going to be available in time.
So plan B! I just removed the OA chipboard from the sneak peek below. Instead of the OA chipboard you will be receiving an assortment of SEVEN My Minds Eye frames, die-cuts, journaling cards, etc. AND FOUR of these cute, cute flowers from Julie's Etsy Shop :
Here's a little taste of November! Be sure to check out a complete list of what's in the kit on the Sneak Peek area of our website. We don't have everything in yet, so this isn't the complete kit pictured! You will receive ONE Maya Road mini black scallop sheer (several are pictured) and approximately 9 assorted Basic Grey Buttons (again a lot more than 9 are pictured)
Congrats to Missy Crowell !
Missy is our September Challenge Winner!!!!
Missy will be receiving one of our JUNE KITS !
Enjoy Missy!

They suck, they really do. I know from personal experience this past summer when I went without for about a month. Our other guest designer, Molly Peckham is having some computer issues at the moment and hasn't been able to get us her pages. Stick with us and hopefully Molly will get her computer up and running soon!

We have two - yep 2, TWO - guest designers lined up for you this month!! When we first decided to have two guest designers this month (something we have never done) I had Jenn pick one and then I picked another. After we recieved confirmation that both of these wonderful designers were on board with us we found out that they are friends! Small world huh? So without further ado, here is Laura Vegas :)
Hey everyone! My name is Laura Vegas. I live in sunny California with my husband of almost 10 years, Joe. And we have 2 gorgeous girls, Alyssa (12 years old) and Sarah (9 years old). Both are very busy girls with lots of activities going on, including their 6th year of soccer which is in full swing right now. I work full-time in my home as a Daycare Provider. The ages I care for range from newborns all the way up to 8 years old. One of the extra perks of my job, is that I have lots of different faces around to photograph and scrap! My girls and the daycare kiddos are the main focus of my scrapbook albums, but every once in a while I manage to work in a layout or two about myself. I have been scrapping for almost 13 years now, and in the past 2 years I have also been really focusing on improving my photography skills. My scrapbook style is very clean and linear, tons of fun and bright colors, and lots of details and embellishments. You'll usually find 3-4 photos on my layouts, but I also love to use just one photo when it's one I really love. My work has been published in various magazines and idea books such as PaperKuts, Creating Keepsakes, PaperCrafts, Scrapbooks Etc, Scrapbook Trends, Paper Trends, and Cards. I was chosen to be a part of the 2006 PaperKuts Power Team, have been on the Lil Davis Design Team, and am currently a member of the Making Memories Design Team. I was thrilled when Julie asked me to be a guest designer this month, along with Molly. She had mentioned that they had put together a kit that was "right up your alley", and they were totally right! I had so much fun working with this kit, and I hope you all enjoy seeing what i came up with!
Check out her blog at http://www.lauravegas.typepad.com/
Tomorrow I will give you a little info on our other guest designer this month - Molly Peckham from beautiful Honolulu!!
Those of you who know us know that we usually have our design team gallery up early or at the very latest by today!
This month there was a lot of new product from CHA summer, which didn't start shipping until September. We were not able to get out kits out to our design team as early as we usually do! One of our two Canadian designers is in the process of moving across country and the other one has not even received her kit yet!
One of our other designers is in the process of moving right now as well.
With that in mind we have TWO great guest designers for October, Laura Vegas and Molly Peckham!
We have given all of our designers a few extra days to get there layouts into us, as they received their kits so late this month!
Thanks for your understanding with this!! Keep checking back for the great layouts on their way!!!!
So this is your first challenge for the month of October...which..can you believe it's almost here? CRAZY!! It'll be Christmas before we know it..then New Year's...but really...I'm SO not ready for winter already!! ACK!
So this challenge is going to be fun and probably quite easy. :) I just want you to find a layout in the Sweet Pea Scraps gallery....and lift it!! It can be ANY gallery and it can be ANY Sweet Pea girl...just one that you love. That's it!! Easy peasy!! Have fun and I cannot wait to see what you come up with!!
Remember to send your layouts to me...at jenns@sweetpeascraps.com by the 25th of October for your chance at the drawing!!
Happy scrappin'!
