Featured Project and Designer
Last week there was an error in the announcement of who we were featuring. I mixed some text from Jen Nichols with the text from Peggy Severins. So we are going to feature Peggy Severins again this week to give her the recognition that she deserves. Peggy is an amazing designer that has been on the team for a long while. She has a sweet disposition and that shows through in her design style. Check out her gallery and bio to see what I mean!

Peggy Severins

I am 33 years old, married to Ad whom I met a little over 15 years ago. We have 2

children, a 7yo daughter, Kelsey and a 5yo son, Kylian. They are the reason why I started scrapbooking a little over 4 years ago. I started scrapping with darker colors but since I discovered KI Memories my albums got a whole lot more colorful. Read More ...

Efteling (5 photos strip Challenge)
A layout showing some of the pictures of a day out at the Efteling, a very popular amusementparc here in the Netherlands. Each year we buy seasontickets and we go here often, it is always so much fun!

Journaling:
This year is the 7th year that we bought ourselves seasontickets to the Efteling. No matter how often we go there, fun is always guaranteed. I would say that on an average Summer we visit the parc approximately 10 times. We enjoy the moments we have together with the 4 of us, relaxing, simply having fun! Read More ...

*all mine* Community Scraplift by LilyBean

have always loved CJ's work, and when given the assignment to chose a member to scraplift I knew instantly who I wanted to ask for permission. Luckily CJ

agreed and my assignment became even funner.
Whenever I'm stuck or intimidated with a layout I'd like to attempt, I always start looking for inspirational layouts and sketches. I love to make the end result my own, but am always so inspired by the amazing artists that surround us in this hobby. Read More ...

Hey everyone! I'm Liana. Please allow me to introduce myself.

I graduated from the University of Houston, with an HRM degree (Hotel & Restaurant Management) in 1999. The funny thing is, I work in a different industry now. Nowadays, I work at a small manufacturing and import company which is based in Dallas. Currently, I am happily married to my middle school sweetheart, Frendy. We have been married for 4 years now. We don't have kids, yet, but we do have 2 old Siberian Huskies, Jay and Lucy. Read More ...

~You~
by Liana Suwandi


To start, I converted a photo of cute Karina (she is my friend youngest daughter). Print and stitch all over photo with light green thread. Set this aside. Mostly, I created this layout with my adobe

Photoshop (add text with different size of fonts and matching colors). After I’m happy with my sketch, I start printing this directly onto photo paper. Matte this with pink cardstock. Hand cut flower from basic grey, adhere this hand cut to the right side corner. Read More ...

A Spring Stroll
by Cari Locken


Our assignment was to create a spring themed layout that was easy to scraplift, using the Green Bazzill Bling as the key color, the Cuttlebug shapes & alphabet for our title, no black &

white photography and no black cardstock.

Well, I admit that the "no black" part of this challenge was tricky for me at times because I kept wanting to use it. But, alas, I went the other way & used white! Read More ...

I know many of you were very sad when we announced that we were going to discontinue the Monthly Scrapbook contest that has been a staple since our site began. It was an amazing contest that allowed us to enjoy a little piece of each person that entered each month.

Well, be sad no more! I have personally been working with the best design team in the entire cyber universe to devise a new contest. It's even going to be run by the CX Design Team. How cool is that? Click here for information about the prize money, and the entry details for this new contest.

"Umm...Not Really!"

I love this page about my son. It really cracks me up every time I read the journaling. To create this page I mounted my Pattern paper on to the red

Felt Bag Project with PC Tin by Heidi Trejo

This assignment was so much fun. The felt bag was so easy to work with.

I decided to make it a craft bag since my daughter loves doing crafts. The best part is the Provo Craft tin fits perfectly inside and there's still room to put scissors, glue and paper in there too. To decorate the bag I first hand stitched on the leaves to add detail. Read More ...
