"Late Friday Night... It's The Weekend!"

Well, all I have to say is... Whew! Today has been wild! LOL! Anyways, I only have one topic to remind all of you about (can you believe it?) LOL!

In A Scrap Creation is having a blog hop in honor of Operation Write Home starting at 12am EST! The hop will start at the In A Scrap Creation Blog and continue through the Design Team Members Blog's! Here all the details...

 

I hope you will join me in hopping along and leave all the DT Members some comments! Not to mention... see the NEW May Release Goodies!

Yep... Can you believe I (the wordy one) am done already? (Hee-Hee) Must be because I am tired and ready for bed!

Have a wonderfully creative weekend!

We have been very good about posting hints about the May Monthly Challenge at the Latte Lounge, I think!

We have told you several times that there might be a few twists along the way!

Well, here’s the first one!

Remember last week, we posted our Monthly Challenge

hosted by The Stamping Boutique

 

and the theme was to

make any project for Moms and other Special Women in our Lives?

Well, this week, we’re STILL doing

projects for Mom’s and other Special Women in our Lives!

And we’re STILL being sponsored by The Stamping Boutique!

And you can STILL enter your projects HERE!

BUT!!!

This week, we want to see you ADD FLOWERS

to your Project for Moms and Other Special Women!!

Yep, same challenge, but different!

AND!!!

Not only will you be entered to win the prize from the Stamping Boutique,

but we’re adding to the loot!!

We are adding 2 new prizes to the drawing!!

A $5 Gift Certificate from Digi’s with Attitude!

 

and

3 images from the one and only Glitterbabe!!

At the end of the month, we will have THREE random drawings

for chances to win prizes from THREE different sponsors!

So keep those monthly challenge projects coming!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! We have so much going on at The Latte Lounge this month. I'm really enjoying the May Challenge - make a project for a special woman in your life. I think there will be some exciting twists with this challenge, so stay tuned for tomorrow!

I made a card for the challenge today featuring coeopsis from The Stamping Boutique and Pretty Tough Just the Papers from JLJ Designs. I colored the image with Copics and added ribbon from the April Swap Club.

Have you seen our May Kids Challenge? There's even a kids freebie from our sponsor Stitchy Bear Stamps. Check out the fabulous cards that member Jenn made with her card club!

Did you know that the Fresh Brewed Designs group has a sketch challenge going on? Heather has some surprises for the group this weekend. So generous!

I have one more challenge for you - the JLJ Designs group has an anything goes challenge as long as you use a JLJ Designs product. There's a $3 off coupon good today for group members. Be sure to check it out.

Happy Crafting!
