It's Challenge time at 9th & Bloom!

The first of the month unleashes a whole new set of challenges at 9th & Bloom! If you are unfamiliar with our challenges, they are a fun and easy way to earn cash to the store. Every month, we offer 5 new challenges in our Challenge District. For each challenge you complete, you earn one point. Save 12 points to redeem for a $10 gift certificate to 9th & Bloom! The challenges include: Inspired Impressions, Template Fusion, Vintage Corner, Trendsetter, and Shutterbug. Trust me, these are fun, easy, and can really inspire you to push your creativity!

This month, I am participating in the February Vintage Corner challenge called Cherish the Love. "As you all know, February is the month of love. I offer you a chance to dedicate a page in this challenge to people who had been in love for ages. It can be pretty much anyone – your parents, grandparents, or your own wedding memories. Important is that it has to be related to pure love, faithfulness and trust."

I chose to scrap about my father's parents, whom I called Nanny and Grandpa.

For this layout, I used Touch by Damayanti Studio available at 9th & Bloom.

I'm also really proud to announce that I'm now the permanent host of the Shutterbug Challenge at 9th & Bloom!!!

I just love photography so much and I'm really excited to be offering new challenges for your photographs each month. After all, scrapping is all about the photos! For the February Shutterbug Challenge, my challenge to you is to find a way to incorporate love into a photograph. It can be interpreted any way you like... romantic, platonic, with candy, with a sign, with a kiss. Let's see some love!

So come play with us! We have such a lovely forum and we'd love to have some new friends. See you there!

New release from AnnaBV Designs plus one more!

AnnaBV Designs brings you Lonely Hearts today at ScrapOrchard. It's a soft and dreamy feeling kit that is versatile enough to celebrate the love in your life or even the lack of love. I used it to scrap about a painful time in my marriage. There is a coordinating alpha and even some quickpages, all on sale now.

One of my all-time favorite designers is MK Designs. I use her kits in a lot of my siggies and cards. She has a new release this week called Pieces of Christmas. This kit is filled with gorgeous hand-painted, whimsical elements. I chose to scrap this kit for this month's Trendsetter challenge in which we were to tell something we really love about Christmas, make the layout look modern, and not use a photo.
