The idea with this album was there are no rules...any page size, any paper type...we loved all the layers and fun pieces in this album. We also encouraged students to not stress about the photos...any pictures of any theme will do. Just go for it and have fun! What you see here is the basis to make the album your own...have fun adding to it with stamping, embellishments and journaling!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SRy652YyyKI/AAAAAAAADCs/bGfvL4qmYCk/s1600-h/*magic*_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We are sad that we won't be here every month to share ideas and be inspired by you all, but sometimes life just gets crazy!<br /><br /><br /><br />With my new baby coming in March, and both Kim and I just dealing with our everyday responsibilities as wives and mothers, this just seems like a good time to slow down for a while. Let's call it a "maternity/creative leave"...time to take care of our babies and find new ideas and inspiration in the scrapbooking world.<br /><br /><br /><br />We love the Goodie Box. We love the people we have met through our challenges. Thanks so much for supporting us and playing along with us every month!!<br /><br /><br /><br />In the meantime, you can always check out our personal blogs <a href="http://kimloewen.blogspot.com">here</a> and <a href="http://taliaaudenart.blogspot.com">here</a> to see what we are currently up to, and we will let you know when we will be resuming challenges again after the new year. If you are not on our email list, please email us at the goodieboxgirls@hotmail.com so we can add you to our list and let you know of upcoming challenges.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SOmAHyCabVI/AAAAAAAADA8/89JekWzhz2I/s1600-h/DSC02298_vntg:boost.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SOmAHyCabVI/AAAAAAAADA8/89JekWzhz2I/s400/DSC02298_vntg:boost.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253871311483727186" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Thanks so much and bye for now!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Talia & Kim:)the goodie box girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888328897428327031noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852837403605542224.post-31603076447229926962008-09-29T08:00:00.001-06:002008-09-29T08:13:21.119-06:00the winner is...<div>We randomly drew a winner this month as everyone's layouts were so creative!!

I'm sure everyone has taken a bazillion pictures from all the activities and holidays and are ready to get scrapping again...right? Hehe! We're doing things a little bit different this month and are really excited to share the changes with you.<br /><br /><br /><br />So let's get right to it.<br /><br /><br /><br />We are very excited to have <span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.robynwerlich.typepad.com/">Robyn Werlich</a></span> join us this month as our <span style="font-size:130%;">Guest Goodie Girl</span>!!! Robyn is so talented and is definitely an inspiration when it comes to stamping and scrapbooking. Her work can be seen in <a href="http://www.scrapbooksetc.com/">Scrapbooks Etc.

We thought it would be fun for you to get to know her better....<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SLtSaynL2DI/AAAAAAAAC3w/Iq4lyWOvby8/s1600-h/Robyn+2007+headshot+sm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SLtSaynL2DI/AAAAAAAAC3w/Iq4lyWOvby8/s400/Robyn+2007+headshot+sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240873211591907378" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">1. Where are you from?</span><br />I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah but I currently live in St. George, UT (southern corner of Utah).<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">2. Tell us a little about yourself and your family.</span><br />My husband, Ryan, and I have been married for 11 years...that seems so crazy to write! ☺ Time flies! We have three wonderful kids: Madisyn is 6 years old, Hudson is 4 and Jaxon is 7 months.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">3. How long have you been scrapbooking?</span><br />I started scrapbooking a month before I had my first child, Madisyn and I was completely hooked! Seven years later and I still love this fun creative journey of scrapbooking.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">4. Tell us a little about your scrapbooking style and background.</span><br />Hmmmm....scrapbooking style? I’m very linear and detailed...I’m all about the details! A few of my favorite things are fun colors, polka dots, string, stamping and the finishing process of adding all the finishing touches! ;)<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">5. What inspires you in your scrapbooking?</span><br />Honestly - product inspires me a lot! I will get something new and it will spark new ideas and fun things to try. Scrapbooking is a lot about the creative process for me and trying different things with products really gets me inspired.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">6. What are 3 of your favorite scrapbooking products?</span><br />Tone-on-Tone polka dot paper<br />Butterflies - punches, chipboard, die-cuts - anything! ☺<br />String!<br />And...I gotta add 4, stamps!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And now for the challenge...<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Stamping!!</span><br /><br />Create a layout using stamps. There are so many cute stamps out there so let's use them. Be creative...there's no limits with what you can do with a stamp. Use it for your title, as an embellishment, cut it out, emboss it...just get using those cute stamps. We want to see what you can do.<br /><br /><br />Here's Robyn's inspiration...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SLtSalz1LcI/AAAAAAAAC3g/uTGBnkDTEAQ/s1600-h/RW+Life+GG+Layout.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SLtSalz1LcI/AAAAAAAAC3g/uTGBnkDTEAQ/s400/RW+Life+GG+Layout.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240873208155286978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SLtSaqi621I/AAAAAAAAC3o/RhSw5aUrLSE/s1600-h/RW+Life+GG+Stamping.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SLtSaqi621I/AAAAAAAAC3o/RhSw5aUrLSE/s400/RW+Life+GG+Stamping.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240873209426533202" border="0" /></a>"Life" By Robyn Werlich<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">(supplies: Cardstock: Stampin' Up! & Bazzill; White Grid Paper: Scenic Route; Label Die-Cuts: Stampin' Up!; Large Butterfly Chipboard: K&Company; Alphabet Stamps: Purple Onion Designs; Polka-dot stamp: Post Modern Design; Flourish stamp (on green): Autumn Leaves; 'Enjoy the Journey' stamp: Hero Arts; Ink: Versamark & Stampin' Up!; Embossing Powder: Hero Arts; Ribbon, Buttons, Chipboard letters: Stampin' Up!; Large Metal Label: Basic Grey; Butterfly punch: Martha Stewart; Swiss Dot embossing folder (used on pink butterfly): Cuttlebug; Other: Sewing, string, colored pencils (used for title), staples, heart punch, brads)</span><br /><br /><br />I love how Robyn used stamps with cardstock to create her own pattern paper!

Anything that I can actually accomplish quickly is a bonus around here with summer being super busy and an almost two year old that keeps me on my toes.... But I love this layout! I love the light background and the simple embellishments. If you only have a few minutes to get something done...then try something simple. It will keep your creative mind going!!<br /><br /><br /><br />See you next week!<br /><br />Kim :)the goodie box girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888328897428327031noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852837403605542224.post-51793855376276364962008-08-04T08:00:00.001-06:002008-08-04T08:00:01.336-06:00Summer Inspiration #5How are all of your summers going?

I love the idea of having a layout/month...it's a great way to document a year. This is my April page! At the end of every month I make sure I jot down all the important details on my calendar, and then I can do the actual scrapbook page whenever I have a chance. Since I organize my photos on my computer by the month, it's easy for me to choose photos from the correct month to use on my layouts. Hope you like it!<br /><br /><br /><br />Thanks for coming by, we'll see you next week!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Talia:)the goodie box girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888328897428327031noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852837403605542224.post-38232284976660811092008-07-28T08:00:00.003-06:002008-07-28T08:00:01.975-06:00Summer Inspiration #4Just wanted to share this super simple mini album....<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SIDbroX2jcI/AAAAAAAACCk/GtSz7B_BmwA/s1600-h/l7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

As I had all of my fabric sitting out, I noticed my frames...and then I ended up with these! The little touch of fabric to these frames gave them just what they needed to enhance my photo, and add a little touch of pink to my daughter's bedroom.<br /><br /><br /><br />Adding the fabric to these frames was very simple...here's brief how-to:<br /><br />1. I placed a layer of felt underneath my fabric to make it a little puffy. Cut your felt to size (according to the frame or matte you are using). Adhere felt to background using a strong double-sided adhesive. (I used scrappy tape)<br /><br />2. Cut fabric about 1.5 inches larger than your background or matte. Lay the fabric face down on your work space. Lay the background or matte, felt side down, on top of fabric. Fold edges of fabric tightly over the edge of your background, and adhere down with masking tape. Do this to all 4 sides. (I used lots of tape!)<br /><br />3. If you covering a photo matte, once you are done step 2, then cut out the fabric where the picture will go, leaving a little bit of fabric so that you can fold it over the edges and tape it down, the same way you did to the outer edges.<br /><br />4. Embellish as desired, add photos and you're done!<br /><br /><br /><br />When I am making home decor projects I like to keep them simple...nothing too busy or involved. Now that I made these, I am thinking of all the fabric that I can add to my picture frames to make them just a *teeny* bit more fun. Hehe!! Hope you like them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Okay, so this is the last time I'm gonna say it...you have till this Sunday night to email us your fabric submissions. Remember, it can be a page OR a project, and each person can send us 2 submissions in total. Email us your work to thegoodieboxgirls@hotmail.com with your first and last name. Thank you so much ladies!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />We'll be back in a week with our winner!<br /><br /><br /><br />Tal & Kim:)the goodie box girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888328897428327031noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852837403605542224.post-21440364053912627812008-06-16T08:00:00.002-06:002008-06-16T08:00:02.591-06:00a fabric album...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SEhTr0hl91I/AAAAAAAAB6k/XN32LCMtCyk/s1600-h/book.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

ribbon, felt butterflies, silhouette word: Heidi Swapp; grommets: Making Memories; ribbon: Love Elsie; ribbon: Martha Stewart; felt shape: Jenni Bowlin; felt flower: Creative Imaginations; iron-on transfers: Print 'n Press; ribbon, material, embroidery thread, buttons, binder ring, rick rack: other)<br /><br /><br />Who said fabric is only for quilts? Whip up your own little fabric album using Kim's instructions:<br /><br />1. Print 10 pictures 2x3" on iron-on transfer paper<br />2. Iron onto cream colored fabric (following transfer directions) <br />and cut around pictures<br />3. Cut 12 pieces of fabric 5x7"<br />4. Attach the pictures to 10 of the fabric pieces using a blanket <br />stitch around the photo<br />5. Embellish each page with buttons, felt accents, ribbon, or <br />vinyl shapes<br />6. Sew a circle and title to a piece of fabric as the cover of the <br />album<br />7. Sew a message to a piece of fabric and glue on felt <br />embellishment as this will be the back cover of the album<br />8. Put a piece of quilt batting between each page of the album<br />9. Surge around edges of fabric to bind pages together<br />10. Use grommets and binder ring to keep album together<br />11. Tie ribbon around binder ring<br /><br /><br />Isn't this little fabric album that Kim made of her son to die for?? I just love it. And since it's soft and squishy, it's perfect for little hands to touch and play with...not like all of our paper projects, right? Since she used iron-on's for her photos, there's no worrying about fingerprints or bending the photos...totally kid-friendly. So so awesome, Kim! I can't wait to make one of my own!<br /><br /><br />Thanks for stopping by today, and remember we want to see your work!

For this pillow, I printed my photos onto an iron-on T-shirt transfer, ironed the images onto plain fabric, and then stitched them to my pillow. My girls love seeing this pillow with their little faces on it...they think it's so much fun! I also hand wrote the word "forever" with a pencil directly onto my fabric, and then stitched over it using brown embroidery floss. Next, I stitched on the flowers, button and strip of ribbon across the bottom, sewed the whole thing together, stuffed it with pillow stuffing and my pillow was complete! This was a fun project to do, and a happy addition to my home decor.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thanks for stopping by today...I hope I've given you another little idea as to how you can use fabric on your scrapbooking projects. Send us those submissions to the goodieboxgirls@hotmail.com, and come back on Monday for another fabric idea from Kim!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Talia:)the goodie box girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888328897428327031noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852837403605542224.post-62984601255671628722008-06-09T08:00:00.002-06:002008-06-09T08:32:56.046-06:00sneak peek...So are you ready to see this month's sneak peek?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SEW4xulRl9I/AAAAAAAAB24/5nTrGjqdEr0/s1600-h/june%2708sneakpeek.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SEW4xulRl9I/AAAAAAAAB24/5nTrGjqdEr0/s400/june%2708sneakpeek.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207771708581320658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SEW4zIjm-jI/AAAAAAAAB3A/8A-fgpRxHZo/s1600-h/june%2708sneakppek_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZJopEgEGm1Q/SEW4zIjm-jI/AAAAAAAAB3A/8A-fgpRxHZo/s400/june%2708sneakppek_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207771732733524530" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you sooo much to this month's sponsor, "<a href="http://riffraffdesigns.typepad.com/">RiffRaff Designs<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></a>"!
