Another Friday!!! While yesterday was beautiful here - sunny and warm, today is cold and cloudy. Just to the north of us, they have had significant snow and just to the south of us is extreme flooding. I heard this morning that the school where my daughter works will likely have water standing in it later today - it is such a beautiful school!!!

We would like to congratulate yesterday's Layout of the Day created by Melly. Her "love the spring" has all the soft colors of spring and is just simply adorable!!! Later today, the voting will begin for this weeks Layout of the Week vote. You can see the picks of the week and submit your vote for you favorite in the LOTD MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY thread in the TTS Forum. The winner will be announced on Monday.

Do you have a layout that needs a little extra lovin'? Why not take part in the Treasured Praise thread in the TTS Forum. It only takes a second and I find by looking through the gallery and leaving comments, I can get all sorts of inspiration for future projects!!!

The Friday Element Challenge has been posted. This week, you are challenged to use a circle and a scallop!!! Sounds easy enough, but if you are like me, I look for unexpected ways to use those items!!! Also, the Spring Fling Games continue through the end of the month, so it is not too late to join in!!!!

Did you know that you can pick up all sort of blinkies now in the TTS Forum? Why not sport a TTS Fan blinkie along with the blinkie of your favorite designers not only at TTS but at other sites that allow them? You can find them in the new Grab Your TTS Fan Blinkies thread in the forum. Check back often - designers are currently adding their blinkie so this thread changes often!!!

Finally, there have been some new products listed in the TTS Digital Store this week. Fabella has two new kits - Gentle Boys and A Moment In Time both currently on sale. Doin It Digi Designs has several new items in the store this week including the Enchanted Designer Original Clickin' Clusters and the Ragged, Stitched & Stapled Collection. Deanna Patterson has Mess It Up Splatters which would be fantastic additions to any layout. New designer Bon Scrapatit Designs has *Shimmerin’ Shamrocks* Digital Scrapkit and *Floral Frenzy* Digital Scrapkit. Dawn Inskip has released MIDNIGHT DIAMONDS. And finally Designs By Sassy has Autumn Days and Chinese.

I think that about covers it for this Good Friday post - hope you have a wonderful and "hoppy" Easter!!!

Play along and post your layout in the TTS Gallery.

And you can join our Spling Fling Game too.

Have Fun!!!

Monday again....

Well, it's Monday again. I can't believe another weekend has come and gone already. The forums were hopping over the weekend at Treasures To Scrap.

The LOTW was chosen. A big Congratulations to Sassy who won with her two page tribute to Jeff Healey. Make sure you check this one out and leave her some love!

The Monday Scraplift Challenge is up now. This week's challenge is to select one of Nancy Jones's Creations and make it your own. This is an awesome gallery so you should definitely check it out. She is absolutely amazing. If nothing else, you will most definitely find some inspiration there.

The Spring Fling Game is rockin' as well! There are a few more eggs out there now making around four to find. There were a few challenges added as well. Remember, you get points for every challenge you complete and every egg you find. The winner is gonna get an awesome RAK from the store. You gotta check this one out. All egg found entries and challenge entries have to be in by midnight March 30 so there is still lots of time. Just don't wait to long to get in on it.

This month's featured digital designer is Deanna Patterson. The most recent kit I used of hers was the Playful Kit. I absolutely loved this. It has such a fun feel to it. The pastels are fabulous. Perfect kit to use for Easter too. Check out the previews of the kit below!

 

And here is what I did with it!

Swing by and check this kit out! See you all in the forums!

It is finally the end of the week and the weather was absolutely gorgeous here today - low 60's!!! But, tomorrow, there is snow in the forecast - someday, maybe spring will come and stay a while.

First, we would like to congratulate Melly for her creation My Girl which was selected as Layout of the Day for Thursday. Please take a look at this beautiful page. And, don't forget to check out the LOTW voting this weekend in the forums at TTS.

Have you seen some of the new products in the digital store this week at TTS? Scrappin' Nut Designs has two new offerings - Royal Beauty and Da Funk Wraps Collection. Be sure to check the New Products section of the store often to see the brand new products in the store.

If you have time this weekend, stop by the Treasured Praise thread in the forum. Leave a link to a layout that either you have done or one that you admire from the TTS gallery and visit the entry above your's and leave some lovin'!!!

Finally, I wanted to share a page I did this week using Fotosusu's A New Day. One technique that I used on the swirl behind the filmstrip is the blending modes in Photoshop. By using the blending modes along with the opacity level, you can really alter the appearance of an element!!!



Have a great weekend!!!
Kabra

Congratulations to Sassette being selected layout of the day for Tuesday the 11th.
I really love this LO about Jeff Healey, it is a great tribute to him.
You can leave her some love here.

Jeff Healey


There is also a new challenge starting today. So go and check it out.

Wednesday Challenge


Have you posted your layout to the Treasured Praise Game today? If not, what are you waiting for? Enjoy all the praise you get.

Treasured Praise Wednesday March 12th

A great Wednesday to all of you!

Wow, it was finally a sunny Saturday here and we dodged the snow this time around!!! While it looked like an early spring day, the temperature was still pretty cold.

Before the weekend is over, be sure to vote for your choice for LOTW in the TTS Forum. Here you can take a look at the LOTD selections for last week and make your decision. Please send a PM to momofgjc with your selection by Monday morning

While in the forums, please remember that Fabella's template for March is available. This wonderful template has so many possibilities, so you will want to pick it up while it is available!!! Here is a peek at the template along with a page I created with this fabulous template:

The March Spring Fling Game is in full swing, and it is not too late to join in on the fun!!!! And if you are looking for inspiration for those pages you want to create, please visit this weekend's Spring Forward challenge. And, with so many challenges currently underway at TTS, if you are feeling "challenged" to remember the challenges, you can find a concise list of ongoing challenge for March here.

Finally, I would like to leave you with a little tip. When I first started doing digi-scrapping, someone asked about a page I had in my album, I had remembered doing the page and was able to find it quickly, but for the life of me, I could not remember what I had used on it. Starting that day, I began putting the list of credits including the font in the file info section of my page. In Photoshop / Photoshop Elements, you can access this by File --> File Info. I always put my credits in the Caption portion of the Description area!!!! That way, it is stored as a part of the psd page itself!!!! This neat little tip has saved me so much time in the past!!!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Yes! It's TGIF!

Woohoo! TGIF everybody! Last day of the work week is here!

Thursday's LOTD was Just Relax by Evitangel. Be sure to have a look! We also have the LOTW Voting going on right now. Pick your favorite from the week and cast your vote before Monday morning to see who gets to be LOTW winner.

The Treasured Praise Thread is up for the day also! Swing by and check it out. Great way to get inspired and see how much you inspire others with your work. Take a look at the page I made for it today. It's called The Dance and was made with Deanna Patterson's Kit Affections of the Heart.

The Friday Challenge is up too! Today's challenge is glitter and sewing! Great chance to see how others use these elements on their layouts. Not to mention you have a chance to win a prize if you complete all four Friday Challenges by March 31st.

There's a new Spring Fling Game challenge up for today as well! Today you need to create a Summer Layout.

There are several new products in the store this week as well. Swing by the store and CHECK THEM OUT. Here are a few previews (images are clickable):

Plus a whole lot more! Stop by and check it out!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Yay! Only one more day in the work week!

Yesterday's LOTD was a truly amazing page by Giselab called Daddy's Girl. This is such a touching page so be sure to stop by and leave some love for her.

The Treasured Praise Thread is also up and running! To play this game all you need to do is post a link to something in your gallery so we can leave some love and then follow the link provided by the person before you to leave them some love.

There are some great challenges in the forums too! Today's challenge is a Color Challenge. A member of the creative team here at Treasures To Scrap selects a color swatch and the challenge is to use those colors to create a layout. The Deadline for this is March 31st and there is a chance to win some awesome prizes if you complete the challenge each week so hurry and get yours in!

The Spring Fling Game is in full swing now! Today's challenge is posted. What is it you ask? Today is Dinosaur Egg Day. The challenge is to pull out all those old scrap products and use them in a layout. Remember, this one is for OLD stuff so not something you just picked up a few days ago. There's also an EGG floating around somewhere too. Check the forums for some clues!

Can't wait to see you in the forums! Swing on by!

It is Wednesday already - where has this week gone?

Have you seen the LOTM yet? Snojewel's Beauty in the Barn is such a stunning page!! Be sure to visit Snowjewel's page and check out other pages in her gallery. Congratulations on LOTM!!!

While you are looking through the gallery, be sure to check out meganmecrazy's Me, Myself and I_ADSR3 Challenge 3 which was selected as the LOTD for 3/4!!!! Congratulations!!!

Deanna Patterson's Recivilized Punk was in the spotlight yesterday for Kit of The Day on the TTS Forum. If you visit the forum, you can get a sneak peek at some new layouts done with Deanna's kits!!!

You might also want to check out the Treasured Praise chain in the forum. Whether you spotlight one of your own creations or something in the gallery that caught your eye, this is a great way to not only receive some lovin' but also to find inspiration!!! This thread runs daily, so be sure to check back each day!!!

The Wednesday Sketch Challenge has been posted. Keep in mind, with a sketch, you can always rotate the sketch of that works better for your particular project. And, as always, you have a week to complete this challenge!!!

The March Spring Fling is in full progress at this point, but it is not too late to join in!!! Remember, a new challenge is posted every other day!!! If you go to this thread, the full rules of the game can be found there!!

Finally, I wanted to share a page that has not yet been posted in the gallery at TTS. I created this page using the March Treasure Chest. My youngest daughter has always been facinated with The Ducks - not the kind that quack, but the amphibious vehicles!! When she was little, we would ask where she wanted to go on vacation - she would vote for the Wisconsin Dells every time!!! In this particular photo, the driver let her sit in his chair after we got back - the highlight of her trip!!! I thought the March Treasure Chest had the perfect blend of papers and elements to scrap this!!! And, don't forget about the March Treasure Chest Mini-Kit available free in the TTS Digital Store!!!!



Until tomorrow. . . . .

Check this out!!
The new March Treasure Chest is now in store.. Get it HERE now..

Here's a few of the previews

And there's more

There's so much in this kit that we had to create seven previews.

Can you believe....

that it's already the fourth day of March? I can't. Where has the time gone? March is in full swing at Treasures To Scrap and we have some exciting things planned and some that are already in the works.

The first thing to check out is the new March Treasure Chest. This amazing kit is a collaboration made by the designers of the TTS Store. If you love the styles but are like me and can't decide what to buy, this is the kit for you! It has a little bit of everything. Like grunge? It's in there. Like pastels? There too! Addicted to elements of all kinds? Yep, they're there too! This month there is even a free Treasure Chest Mini Kit to go with it. Best of all, this huge kit is on sale until the 5th of March! If you only buy one thing this month, take my advice and snag this one!

I love this kit so much it's not even funny! It has such a wide range of uses you'll never get tired of it. Here's a page I made using the March Treasure Chest.

The Layout of the Month for February vote is in progress as we speak. Swing by the forums and cast your vote. There are some amazing pages to choose from. Better hurry though! Voting ends today at midnight!

The Treasured Praise Game is in full swing as well. This game is great for inspiration. And it's so simple to play. All you have to do is check out the Treasured Praise Thread and post a link to something you have created and are proud of. If you like, you can post a link to something that has caught your eye instead. Then leave some love for the person who posted before you. If you have time, leave some love for everyone else who plays. Today, I started the thread with a creation of my own. I made it using the Trevor's Treasures Kit. By the way, if you haven't checked out this kit yet, you certainly should. It's huge and the kit proceeds are for a touching cause.

Today's challenge is the Tuesday Ad Challenge. Each week an ad will be featured and you make it your own by taking pieces, styles, or the whole layout and scrapping a page with it. Great inspiration. If you missed yesterday's challenge you can still get in on it until next Monday in the thread for the Monday Scraplift Challenge.

We also have some great games this month in honor of the upcoming holidays! The Spring Fling Game gives many challenges throughout the month of March. It's a great chance to win prizes and get some EGGciting inspiration from our CT. There's something new all the time!

There's so much in the works right now you will just have to come back tomorrow to find out more! See you then!

Well, it is hard to believe that it is March already!!!! With the start of a new month, there are several things to check out at Treasures to Scrap.

First, the March TTS Newsletter Treasured Times, was in my inbox bright and early this morning!!! What a fabulous new look and so full of scrapping inspiration. Remember that there are now two newsletters published each month at TTS - one comes out the beginning of the month and the second is a mid-month issue!!

Secondly, the March Treasure Chest is up and available in the store!!! Keep in mind, this huge collaboration kit is available at a 25% discount through March 5th so hurry on over to the TTS store and check out this month's offering!!!! And be sure to pick up the March TTS Treasure Chest Mini Kit freebie for this month while you are there!!!



The March TTS Treasure Chest has a beautiful color palette and a marvelous collection of items to use on a wide variety of projects. Here is a page I created using March's Treasure Chest.


Over the weekend, voting was held for the Layout of the Week (LOTW) from those layouts in the gallery that were selected as Layout of the Day for that week. Congratulations to Omega021's Reach for The Stars for being voted LOTW!!!!! Please feel free to head over to the gallery and leave her some lovin'!!!

And, since a new month has started, voting is now underway for Layout of the Month (LOTM). If you would like to cast your vote, visit the LOTM thread in the forum to see the wonderful LOTW pages from February and vote before midnight Tuesday!!!

Speaking of loving, be sure to check out the Treasured Praises thread in the TTS Forum. Each day, a new thread will be created. You can either post the link to one of your own pages or a link to a gallery page that caught your eye. Once you have posted, then follow the link in the post above yours and leave a comment in the gallery. If you have time, follow all of the threads above yours. I have found this is a great way to get inspiration for a project and I am always looking for new ideas!!!!

Another great way to get inspiration for a new project is joining in on some of the challenges at TTS. For example, each day, a new challenge is posted in the forum - Monday's challenge is always a scraplift. So check the forum daily for something to spark you creativity!!!! Plus, it is not too late to join in the Spring Fling Game this month at TTS!!!

Well, I think that about covers it for today!!! We will see how this looks - this is my first try at updating the TTS blog, so wish me luch!!!! Be sure to check back tomorrow for more news and inspiration!!!
