And to help me bust even more of my stash, I'm having a 

MYSTERY PRIZE PACKAGE GIVEAWAY!

Unfortunately, my uncle passed away last week and I had to fly home for the funeral. I decided to stay a while and spend some time with my family and my Mom during this tough time. Because of the unexpectedness of my trip, I was unable to take a photo of my prize.

So, if you are OK with winning a MYSTERY PRIZE PACKAGE, then leave me comment below and let me know who is your favorite scrapbooking manufacturer. You have until Monday, February 2 at 12 midnight EST to leave your comment. I will then pick one lucky person to win a fabulous mystery surprise package. And I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Hi, I’m Monique Liedtke and I live in The Netherlands with my husband, 3 kids (Manon 18, Timothy 15 and Mats 10) and our Cocker Spaniel, Jippie. I started scrapbooking about 11 years ago and am totally addicted, there’s nothing I’d rather do! I don’t have my own scrap room, but I guess you could say I claimed just about the whole house! I would love to spend every day scrapping from morning till night, especially as I’m so very fortunate to work (have worked) for some of my favorite manufacturers in the scrapbook industry: Doodlebug Design, Imaginisce, Pretty Little Studio, Ruby Rock-It, Epiphany Crafts and to be on the design teams of both Scrapbook Magazine UK as well as SG CREATE Magazine. But alas, that’s not possible and so I work part-time in a small HR office in town as well.

The reasons I love this fabulous hobby are that I preserve our memories, that I’ve made so many new friends and that it helps clearing my head in my busy and hectic life: when I scrap I forget everything and anything.

I am Suzanna Lee, wife to Michael and Mummy to Nikolas and Mia. These 3 are not only my life but the subjects of all things crafty. Scrapbooking is not only my creative outlet but a means to preserving my insanity (and memories)! Equally important to me is the photography. I spend as much time with my Nikon as I do at my scrappy desk. When not with my family or scrapbooking, I work part time as a Physical Therapist. Somebody has to support this addiction! I love what I do and love being able to use both sides of my brain equally! I am thrilled to be joining Juliana and 17Turtles for this FIRST term!

When working with the 17turtles cut files, I decided they were just asking to be collaged into a welded, conversation piece for my page. If you look closely, you will notice I used most of the words from 'This is Magic' word art, manipulating where I had to to make the sentence work.

I finished off the page with some cute brag cards, wood veneer & other accents, resulting in a funky, modern page that my teen LOVES!


So I want to say a big thank you to 17turtles for having me over to guest! Keep the creativity coming for 2015 and Happy New Year!

Hello everyone, it's Carolyn Wolff! I am so excited to be today's guest designer here for 17turtles Digital Cut Files. I have had the privilege of using Juliana's cut files in the past, but this time is a little special. I requested some hockey files (because I am a huge hockey fan) and had the opportunity to play with them. Thank you Juliana!!!!

I created 2 different hockey scrapbook pages and I am thrilled to share one here, on the 17turtles blog, and the other one, I will share on my blog. Here is one of my layouts!


I used a combination of the Hockey Goalie and the Hockey is Life 17turtles Digital Cut Files to create a large placemat for my background.



I added some stickers and twine to the large title.


I also added a sticker next to the large goalie silhouette.  I wanted to personalize my page a bit, so I cut out the number on the goalies jersey (from my photo) and added it to the background.


I embellished the background with some star rub-ons and some enamel dots.


I added some black ink to my background using a template, along with a metal tag, the star and some washi tape.


I am thrilled with the way my page turned out!  Using the files was a lot of fun. Thanks again to Juliana for creating these hockey files and for letting me design with them.

You can visit my blog to see the other layout I created using more of the hockey files that are shown above.


Thanks so much Carolyn! This is such a great masculine feeling sports page! I invite you to visit Carolyn's blog, for more inspiring paper crafting and scrapbook projects!
