Well last week I told you about the changes in our gallery and our decision to close the comments in our gallery…  We are still undecided as to whether or not we will keep it like that, we want our customers to be happy and your opinion matters to us, so be sure to vote HERE!!

Well there’s more… We want to keep our blog fresh and going to revamp some of the days. So there are going to be some changes soon…  Not sure how we’re going to do all of it, but watch for updates on that subject!

Last week I also told about a collab our trio is working on, and it will be in a magazine, more details on that later!  It will also be in the W&W Shoppe next month…Isn’t that exciting!?!

There’s just one new goodie in store today and that is a ‘Camping out’ quickpage album made by Jess Gordon. This is the perfect album for your photos of the great outdoors; camping trips, hiking, you name it! Created using mostly elements from Weeds and Wildflowers Collaboration kit: ‘The Great Outdoors’, this quick album will help you turn those photos into a keepsake scrapbook in no time.

There are 12 print-quality pages (including two cover page options, one with flowers, one without), which are pre-made for you using highly detailed papers and beautiful one-of-a-kind digital elements. This album is designed with two-page layouts in mind - there are a total of 5 two-page spreads, which will compliment each other perfectly when placed side-by side in an album.

So want it?? Two lucky ladies can win this quickpage album and all I want to hear is:  What is your favorite camping, hiking, forest memory? Could be from when you where young or from that time you took your own kids out. On Sunday I’ll be back to announce two winners!

So yeah, here I am!!!! Wanna know who won this beautiful album?? I know you do! LOL…here we go, the winners are:

Sarasusybob & cj   Congrats ladies!!! woohoo!

Gina told she’ll have several new things in the shoppe next week… So be on the look out for that! Have a great weekend and will be back on Sunday!  Hugs, Petra

SALE, SALE!!! 

I just love a good sale!  Head on over to the Shoppe and see what the ladies have on special.  Remember the sale is for one day only, so shop NOW!!!

Happy Wednesday Weedsters!! Not only is it Best of the Bunch, but it’s Back to School for us this week and I must confess, I’m a bit frazzled and totally unprepared!

So, I thought I’d put my teacher’s hat on and hand out some homework assignments. *smile* Grab your pencil and paper … ready?

Go peruse the WW Gallery, pick a layout of your very own, or another Weedster that inspires you (totally up to you) … come back here and link us up.

A *little* WW bonus might just be in it for one of you. *wink wink*

I’ll be back in 24 hours give or take, so don’t procrastinate — go do your homework Weedsters and report back here!

So it was fun celebrating Labor Day here in the US yesterday and having a day with daddy home and just chilling out as a family.  It had me thinking though about work in general…DH is so busy with work and then he has two other jobs that he LOVES on top of the job that pays for our living.  My work now is being home with our precious children each day and I love this season of my life.  My favorite job before being a mom though was International Credit/Collections.  I loved getting to work with people from all over the world. It is hard to really count CT work as work but I do love that too and it is definitely something I love so if it borders into “work” then I have to include it as a job I LOVE!

So this week, tell me about your favorite job you have had or what work you love to do! I will be back tomorrow to pick one of you for $10 to the shoppe! Have a great Tuesday!

congratulations to Antje winning the random pick for this week’s $10 Tuesday coupon!

it was so fun and inspiring reading the work that you all enjoy or hope to enjoy one day! thanks so much for taking the time to share! I will be back next week and can’t wait to play some more…and give some more fun money away! See you Tuesday!

Hi ladies!  Gina here letting you know I put up a poll in our forum HERE concerning the comments in the gallery!  Please go vote so we know how you feel - we welcome and appreciate your feedback!!

Yeah I’m late…again! But my weekend has been real busy so far and there are also no new goodies this week. Our designer trio is working their butts off for a special project and as soon as we can…we’ll tell you all about it!

For this week there’s just one thing I would like the share about some gallery changes. Our trio decided to disable the comments in our gallery… It is just kind of an experiment, and we would love your input! I love browsing the gallery and always get tons of inspiration from there and well I also love to comment. But it’s very time consuming and I always feel a little guilty for not having time to comment a lot. Well our designers thought the same thing and wanted to try this and see how it goes!

We would love your thoughts/comments/feedback with this!! So you can leave me a comment here or follow the thread in our forum here.

Well guess that’s all for today…Make sure to stop by tomorrow for a new fab three things challenge! Hugs,

WE HAVE A WINNER!!

Congratulations to KimberlyRae, the randomly chosen winner!

Are you ready for some more sales????  Me too!  Go and take a look at the shoppe and let me know what item on sale interest you!  A random winner will be chosen from the comments to receive a $5 GC to the shoppe !

Happy Wednesday Weedsters! I get to kick off today with announcing the WINNERS of the Birthday Party Challenge!!! … woo hoo … cue drumroll please …

$10 GC Winner … marymn with her “Celebrate Each Day”

and our 2 Random Winners of “The Great Outdoors” collab kit by Gina and Heidi are … laviconi and chengie!!!

Congratulations ladies, enjoy your winnings!! And a big thanks to all who played in the Birthday Party Challenge!!

And now how do I top that? Why of course by bringing you Wednesday’s Best of the Bunch!!! And today I’ve picked some truly inspiring pages to get that muse in you fired up and itching to create a page!!!

First up is Shien’s page “Flying” … how whimsical and fun is this? I simply LUV how Shien uses thoses string elements and swirl to create movement in her page and her simplicity in design and bright colors are wonderful. But it’s that cutie in the airplane that makes me smile! LUV this one girl!!

“Freunde” by Sylvia ( fotosusu ) is beautifully scrapped and stood right out for me! LUV how Sylvia uses that tag book template and the torn frame together - the layering on this is amazing and those flowers tucked in add just the right splash of color that draws your eye to that wonderfully sweet photo.

And Rainee’s “Busy Bee” was my WOW factor moment! Just look at that stunning photo and how she creatively frames it with all the wonderful little bits of Pat’s Shabby Cottage - Rose Garden kit! Pure gorgeousness girl!

Thank you gals for allowing us to share your wonderful pages! I will be back later today with our first random drawing winner (the last 4 Wed. spotlights will be entered to win a WW $5 GC to the shoppe).

And if you’d like to be spotlighted here on our little blog and have a chance to win some WW shopping $$, email me *here* with a link to your gallery!

Remember Weedsters, all pages are clickable for a closer look and while you’re looking, why not leave some sweet lovin’ too!

Until next week, happy scrappin’ Weedsters!!

Hello everyone! Annie here bringing you another $10 Tuesday and sadly it’s also my last. No worries, the $10 Tuesday opportunities will continue, they just won’t be posted by me. I’m stepping down from all my scrapbook teams because I’m expecting another bundle of joy and want to focus on my family right now. It has been so wonderful hosting this blog post each week and I’ll miss it! And I’ll also miss working with the great group of Weeds Designers and Weeds CT members! 

So since today is my last day to post I’m going to keep it simple. Just write a little goodbye and you’ll be in the running for a $10 gift card to the Weeds and Wildflowers Shoppe.

Congratulations to ELLEN! This weeks winner! Watch your email soon Ellen for your gift card!

It’s been fun everyone! Keep scrapping!

Annie

Now for this week’s fun… I have a template for you! I was playing with the fun new collab kit, The Great Outdoors and was loving the sun as we soak up the last of summer here in the US. I made a template from that layout and you get it for free for this challenge. Now where I have clouds and a sun, you can follow that or add your own elements, it does not have to have the clouds and sun, they are there to show you where to put your elements… of course though you can have them. Make this template your own. We always love seeing how creative you all get!

Please credit the Weeds and Wildflowers Template Blog Challenge when posting your layouts with this free template. You have until midnight est, Saturday, August 30th to enter. Post your layout in the gallery and link us up here in the comments.  One winner will be chosen to win $5 to the Weeds and Wildflowers Shoppe and will be announced next Monday.
