SCRAP~TURES BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!!
Welcome to Scrap~tures Birthday Celebration blog hop!!
Thanks so much for joining us and we hope that you gain lots of inspiration and continue to hop with us!!
Scrap~tures turned one this month so the theme for this hop is BIRTHDAYS!!!!!
If you just happened by this blog and didn't realize a blog hop was taking
place, please go back to Scrap~tures http://scrapturesblog.blogspot.com/ and start the Hop. You won't want to miss all the inspiration from our team....... or the chance to win a prize :-)
For my birthday related project is has 2 parts... 1 project and 1 yummy cake recipe
my project is a birthday/anniversary perpetual calendar (using scraptures December card kit which can be found here.... http://scraptures.ca/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=33&products_id=238 )
I love the idea of having all the important dates such as Birthday(s) and Anniversary(s) at a quick glance....
I made this perpetual desk calendar with very little supplies...
1) printable calendar
2) 5x7 clear picture frame
3) 5x7 piece of pattern paper and matching card stock (I used the December Card Kit as it went perfectly with the theme)
4) ribbon
5) Bull Dog Clip (office supply store)
the instructions are super easy, print and cut your perpetual calendar to size cut your pattern paper to fit the frame slide into the frame embellish with a little ribbon, and attached the months with a bull dog clip....this makes it easy to switch out the months....
These are just supplies that I have had on hand... you could use anything to attach your calendar too... Chip Board, make it into a mini album, Clip Board, you could even make a board book out of the calendar if you like....
Here is a picture of the finished calendar.....

January 4th 2011 Scrap~tures Anniversary Challenge
It is my day to post an anniversary challenge over at Scrap~tures.... so in keeping with the theme....Of Anniversary Year Gifts....I chose electrical appliances over Linen....
The Fourth anniversary is celebrated by Linen(silk) or electrical appliances ....
Four is my favourite number ... so I got thinking about what is my favourite appliance is .... and of course it is my Keurig ... it is one of the best inventions in the world ... with a few simple steps ... I have fresh hot coffee, tea, hot chocolate, hot apple cider and of course even ice tea WOW... so I picked a sketch from Creative Scrappers ... not because of the number it is but because there are 4 little pictures and in keeping with the number 4 how could I not ... lol
My Challenge to you is to create a layout with using your favourite appliance and there has to be a spot where there is a collection of 4 photos ...
below is the sketch and my layout ...
head on over to Scrap~tures for this challenge and many others ...

Acceptance
My one little word ... is Acceptance
I am not really sure how Acceptance came to be my word ... but when I first started to think about doing this ... it was the first thing that came to my mind and thought it was a perfect word so you can say that it just came to me or that I have been thinking about acceptance in my life for a while now but what ever the reason it is it does not matter ... so that is that ... my word is Acceptance ...
"One little word can make a big impact on your life" ... and that is so what I am counting on and by taking Ali's Class through Big Picture Classes http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/index.php I am sure I will be able to accomplish this ...
Part of our Album Ali wanted us to include a recent picture of ourselves ... so in keeping with my word I thought what a better photo then one of myself looking at in the mirror ... kind of a different type of Acceptance ... so I took this photo Yesterday ...
You can find more information on Ali Edwards One Little Word here on her blog ...
http://aliedwards.com/2010/12/one-little-word-2011.html
I am so super excited to be able to join Ali and so many others as we take this Journey through this year and investigate our own personal words... I am so inspired on where this one little word will lead me ... in 2011 ...

Welcome to a brand new year! Happy Birthday Scraptures...
January 2011 is a special month here at Scrap~tures – we’re one year old! Thanks to your support and participation we’ve had a great first year and want to show our gratitude by celebrating all month long with games, prizes, a blog hop, AVATAR challenges and lots of inspiration and fun!
We have been working hard behind the scenes to provide inspirational challenges, based on “traditional” anniversary gift lists, that will run all month long. For every challenge that you complete (and post in the particular challenge thread AND note in your “birthday book” (master challenge list thread) you can count a candle! Yes, that’s right, for every challenge you complete, you can take the little candle blinkie to put in your siggie line! How fun (and cute) is that?(and that's the answer to "why all the candles?")
AND!! if that isn’t enough, we’re going to have an ANNIVERSARY CROP the weekend of January 21, 22 and 23 so mark your calendars and invite your friends! The crop challenges will start with an early bird challenge (you’ll love it, I guarantee it ;-) ) on Friday at noon and go all weekend long.
The crop will give you many opportunities to gather more candles for your birthday book. Not to worry though, at the end of the month, we’ll give you some time to “catch your breath” and catch up with more candles if you want!!
Why all the candles??? Because, February 1, we will announce our Anniversary Prize Winners! Yes plural!! There will be a grand prize and two runner-up prizes. Denise will be announcing how you can be eligible for the prizes so stay tuned and in the meantime, collect those candles!
Come to the party and be ready to meet some “old” friends of ours who are celebrating with us this month and some of you will be surprised I'm sure by "who" you see....
Questions? Fire away or get out your adhesive and be ready to play the winter blahs away!! Let’s get going! Your first inspirational challenge is already posted in the team member forum! Go for it and let’s see what you’ve got.
Your first January AVATAR challenge is to change up from Christmas to fireworks and other celebratory images! Let's see you get your PARTY ON!! :-)
NOTE: We realize that we’ve used the words ANNIVERSARY and BIRTHDAY inter-changeably, but just know that whatever you call it, it’s all going to be FUN!
****Check out all the fun stuff here... http://www.scraptures.ca/ you have to log in to the forum but it does not take anytime so jump on in and lets get this party started....
