Some mid month fun....show us your STASH!!!!

"What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is..............


Just because this is the last challenge month, it doesn't mean we can't kick it up a notch right???? We have lots of goodies to give away... 


Since we aren't having an A to Z challenge this month, I thought we'd do something else a little fun. The blog is supposed to be all about stash, right?? Well, if you are anything like me, you have too much stash... How about a photo challenge....  


We love seeing other peoples creative spaces... messy, organized, and anything in between. What we challenge you all to do is show us your stash.  Take a picture of your most favorite collection, best storage solution, or even an entire picture of your scrappy space. Show us YOUR stash!!!!! 

Oh and just to get this party started... here are some pictures of our DT's stash

And for those of you who are movie buffs, I have another little game to play... The first 3 people who email me at chattyscrapper@gmail.com with the correct movie my opening blog line is from will get a little goodie. And if you won a goodie last time, those folks are ineligible this time around.. let's share the love... =)

Ready, set, go!!!! =)

April's Challenge and a bit of news!!!!!

Ok, campers, rise and shine.....

We've been wrestling with how to start out this month's post and no matter how we slice it, it ain't easy. We just want to say that Scrapbookers Anonymous has the best followers and challenge players.... we are blessed to have made so many friends. With that, this news is really hard for us. This will be our last monthly challenge. We have been struggling with what direction to take the blog for some time. It has grown so much in the last year and a half. More than we ever imagined. And we have our wonderful design team and all of you to thank for making this a great place.

I know this is not easy for any of us, but it's the right thing to do right now. Life evolves and for us, we were losing a bit of balance in our lives. I hope you all have had as much fun being here as we have had creating the challenges and sharing our creativity. We had no idea what to expect when we put up our little challenge blog. We just wanted to use up our stash. It really evolved into something special and fun. We really appreciate each and every one of you who have supported us and played along each and every month.

Sooooooooooooo... to help move this into a more positive post, I will get right to this month's challenge... this last one is definitely interesting. I think you all may have some MAP paper in your stash.. or use an atlas or print off a map to use. Heck, you can even stamp a map if you have a map stamp.... We aren't picky. We are asking you to include a MAP or MAP paper, and you must include a bunch of brads on your page. The more brads, the better...

I may just have a special treat for the person who uses the most brads on their project... and another treat for the person who uses them in the most creative way... I'm the judge here, so WOW me... lol.. so get to it!!! =)

Maps and Brads... Easy Peasy, right???? =)

Let's see what the DT have up their sleeve.

March Challenge.... Stickers!

Hello!!!! And Happy March 1st. This month we're asking you to use stickers.  A bunch of them.  The more the better.  You may think you don't have a lot of stickers, but if you buy paper packs you have loads of them!  Have you been using them?  Well we aren't setting a quantity that you must use but we'd like to see you dig into your stash and create something fabulous with stickers.  Use them for your background, or embellishments, think outside of the box.  Last year during our anniversary month, our lovely DT member Lena had a collage challenge, see HERE, Why not make a sticker collage?  Or for more ideas here's what our DT did.
