Today's Mini Challenge:

"Use a Transparency or Overlay"

There are so many beautiful transparencies and overlays on the market and they are so much fun to use. You can cut them up or use them as is....be creative! I love layering them over cardstock and patterened paper to add a little more texture, but there's so much to do when it's a clear element!



The goodie gallery looks great! We love having you play along with us, so make sure to send us a jpeg of your layout so we can add it to the goodie gallery and to make sure you're entered to win this months goodie box.

And remember...we can only accept TWO LAYOUTS/PROJECTS PER PERSON, (as opposed to two layouts/challenge) so make sure you pick 2 challenges that you really want to submit for!




Have fun scrapping :)

Day 2



Welcome to Day 2!!! Make sure you check everyday for a new video and Goody Girl Product Pick...we're sharing our favorites with you and today I'm sharing one of my very favorite products with you. I seem to find a product I love and then want to use all the time...and I just love the noteworthy line by Making Memories...from the fun die-cut papers to the die-cut shapes...they're all so cute!




“seriously so happy baby" by Kim Loewen

(supplies: patterned paper, noteworthy glitter die-cuts: Making Memories; ribbon, plastic alphabet, chipboard alphabet: Heidi Swapp; cardstock: Bazzill; black journaling pen: American Crafts)




Featured Product:









(You can also click on the links in the sidebar to Scrapbook.com and Two Peas to search for any other products that you may want! I know Two Peas has some of the noteworthy products...so cute!! I love them!)




Today's Mini Challenge:

"Mix and Match Fonts"

I loved the effect of mixing fonts in the title of this layout. It really made the word ‘happy’ stand out…and that’s exactly where I wanted the emphasis to be in my layout. There are so many great fonts out there in every style imaginable, so why not try mixing them up a bit? I also find it useful when I’m getting low on letters to mix my fonts so I can create more words….be creative and mix it up this month! Make sure to email a jpeg of your submissions to thegoodieboxgirls@hotmail.com by May 25th to be entered to win this month's Goodie Box!

Remember each person can submit up to 2 layouts or projects for the month of May.


Tal will be back with you tomorrow to share another fun idea! This month is going to be full of inspiration…make sure you check out the goodie gallery too cause there are some really great submissions.


Have a great week!
