Time to Say Good Bye

So long...studio stephanie is done. Time to move along!

New Stock Photography Sets!

Exclusively @ Scrapbookgraphics.com!

Here's a new layout. I used Maya's adorable Big Top kit from Scrapbookgraphics.






How adorable is that kit? It was taking me forever to find something perfect enough to use with the Circus pictures I have from 2001. Well, this is it! Now to scrap the rest of the pictures!


Have a great week ahead!

I is for Indulgence!

COME VISIT US AT SCRAPBOOKGRAPHICS FOR ALPHABET SHOOT!

So, I really flaked on this challenge! I'm so sorry ladies. You have all been participating so well and presenting these great layouts that share so much with us about you and I go and forget completely about the latest challenge!Well, it won't happen again! I have my head on straight again and have been INDULGING in some serious therapy scrapping and can't wait to see our newest creations!

This challenge is I - Indulgence! We are all indulgent in some way in life. A lot of us are indulgent in the elements that we want to scrap with and so on. Let's see what's going on in your head and what you indulge in!

Here's my go at it:

Journaling Reads: If I SEE it, I must have it. Shoes, handbags, frames, bowls, shoes, linens, frames, handbags, shoes, eyeglasses, bowls, photography stuff, pens, the frames, shoes, purses, linens, shoes...I can't help myself sometimes. It gets ugly when i need a new pair of shoes and go shopping. Can i really walk away from the store with only one pair? can I actually buy maybe just two pair? do i really need a new purse? how many black ones do I already have? not enough. I have probably 10 pairs of black shoes and I still cannot find the righ one that goes with new green blouse and the black capris....300 thread count linens, coach handbags, platform peeptoe pumps, cool bowls from Pier One, capris and walking shorts photography magazines, lenses, filters & cameras, all indulgences I need.elements, flowers, realistic embellishments, frames, grungy stasmps, alphas, alphas, alphas....what more can i ask for? the crew gets to work with all the amazing designers at SBG and I still have to have more! What is a girl to do when she NEEDS to scrap?

Alphabet Shoot - E is for Envy!

Alphabet Shoot @ Scrapbookgraphics.com for March 3-17

E is for ENVY!

Well, I'm terribly sorry that I'm so late in posting this challenge! I know there are many of you anxiously waiting for this new prompt and I have just been dealing with some serious back pain and haven't been able to sit long enough to get this posted.

My humble apologies! I do hope that you will still consider doing E is or Envy, because I know I cannot wait to see what each of you has in your hidden little treasure box full of surprises!

What are you envious of?

As an artist, do you wish to be like another? Is there a particular artist that you want to emulate? I know that for me, envy is a very powerful thing. I wish I could take photos like another, scrap like this or that artist. It's tough to work through.

In my life as an everyday person, envy takes over when I realize that my chances of another child are close to ending. Does this help me as an artist? Does envy have the power to intensify your creativity?

When you think of Envy, are you drawn to the color green? How do you express that envy?

So, remember the simple rules....please use a picture of YOU, tell us about your Envious side and HAVE FUN!!

Don't forget to link your posting to the Spirit Club and earn those points! And, please link your layout in the ALPHABET SHOOT gallery @ Scrapbookgraphics.com for all of us to see and praise!

Thanks for your participation, it's great getting to know each of you so personally!!

Here's My E is for Envy:

Text Reads:

Envy...I envy certain scrapper’s ability to use embellishments that standout and make you want to touch the page. I envy those that can wear contacts. I envy those that don’t need to wear any makeup. I envy the artist who creates without even thinking about what they’re making. I envy the parent who has everlasting patience. I envy the photographers who take 1 picture and it turns out great! When I have to take 100 and I get only 10! I envy all the wedded couples who have bliss in their marriages. I envy so much, but I am so blessed with all that I have already. I envy peaceful days and an easy living lifestyle!

Alphabet Shoot - C is for Colorful!!

Well, thank you everyone for such a continuously wonderful turnout to these fun challenges. I hope you are having as much fun as I am....I look forward to each and every letter that we get to create with!

This week we are on C....C is for COLORFUL.

We saw the artsy and b&w sides of you, now show us your colorful side(s).What part of you is the most colorful? Is it in the way you dress? Is it in the way you speak or communicate? Do you decorate your home with colorful elements? Maybe it's the color of your eyes and the way they see the world that you want to speak to.

Whatever it is, show us how colorful you and your world are!I love color! I love to play with color. I paint the walls in my house different colors, I use colored eyeshadows (not much, but I use them :0) ). Most of my photos are printed in color and a chosen few are only in B&W. Color is so cheerful, they put yellow on the walls of children's hospitals, because it brings joy to the sick children and doesn't seem as drab. McDonald's uses red & yellow because those colors are know for causing people to become hungry!

It's pretty incredible what color does for us, isn't it? Show us your colorful side....remember to include a picture of you!Post to the Alphabet Shoot Gallery when you're done!

Anyone new? Remember to go and register for the Spirit Club! This Month's Mega kit is absolutely amazing!

Jump on in, get your cameras out, take those self portraits and let loose. Tell us all about you as we travel the alphabet and shoot some pictures that only we can be in.Every 2 weeks, I'll give you a little prompt and the letter that we're on.

You take it from there. Share what you want and have some fun!Last we learned that we are all ARTISTS! What wonderful layouts we received - take a look & submit yours. It feels so good to acknowledge what we do and who we do it for or how we do it.

This week, we're gonna turn it a little and have B represent Black and White. Do you see life in Black and White or do you have the keen sense to always see the greys in between?

Share with us the black and white that is represented in YOU! B - Black and White What do you like most about black and white? Is it the details, the contrast between good and evil? Is it more flattering to pictures of yourself? Is it that it has the "old time" feel to it? Does it show fewer wrinkles or blemishesWhat is your view of Black and White and what do you like to see in Black and White. Does your life really look different in Black & White?

As an artist, black and white photography shows the all the tones in everything we see.....Are there black and white sides to you?

ALPHABET SHOOT Challenge at SCRAPBOOKGRAPHICS.COM

Come join us every other week starting January 7th. We'll be making an ABC/All About Me Book that has 26 points of us as an ARTIST.

We're all ARTISTS, yes we are! We create amazing things that people LOVE to look at and enjoy everyday, so why not celebrate that in a book created just for and about us and by us?

Every other Monday at Scrapbookgraphics, I'll be hosting a little challenge that we call Alphabet Shoot. It's easy; a photography challenge, an ABC book and an All About Me challenge combined to express our love of art and how we create it. And we're throwin' in a little therapy too!

I'll provide a prompt for the particular letter we're on and you create a page about you for that prompt. Week 1 will be The Artist - tell us about you, the artist. How did you get started scrapping, taking pictures, creating hybrid layouts, stamping, whatever! Tell us about YOU, the Artist! AND show us the artist!

The pictures you provide should be new ones....you can of course, use older ones or from your important times, but this book is to celebrate you at this time of your life....take those silly self portraits.

Hold out your arm and click away!

Stick out your tongue and cross your eyes!

Smile in the mirror and take that picture!

Have the gal doing your pedicure take a picture of you!

How about the hairstylist taking one too?

Come on, let's have some fun ladies!!!

I'm sure you can find a way to get a picture or two or 26 of them of yourself....somebody can take them of you or you can take them. They can even be the artist's hands as you are creating the art (hint, hint)

It's gonna be a blast!! See ya there...
