A wednesday TOOT-er!!

Hey all you lovely weedsters out there...It's Petra here spreading some sunshine around here! I'm filling in for Kenna today and really hope I can do as good as she always does!! This really became her thing and she does an amazing job! So thanks luv for always finding those outstanding scrappers and layouts and you sure make these wednesdays one of my favs!

So here we go...today I picked a special gallery for a special reason...So without further a do, let me introduce to you Sara a*k*a tarty00, a lovely lady from Australia... While I'm writing this she is probably asleep, well she wasn't sure if she was able to sleep since I told her I had a little suprise for her. Well she told me I intrigued her and couldn't wait to see her suprise! :)

Well let me tell you why we want to surprise her... On Monday she told us that one of her layouts called: 'My Petals' will be published in the Aussie Scrapbooking Memories Magazine. Her page only uses Gina's fab new collection 'the happy garden' and well we just wanted to congratulate her with being published and give her a little sumthin', sumthin'.

So of course I'm going to highlight three of her pages from her beautiful gallery and second I would love to give her a 5$ GC to the weeds & wildflowers shoppe just for fun!

So let me show you her fab work...First of her: 'Patience Is A Virtue', I love the sweet photos and the selective coloring on the photos. Also really like how she attached the frames and those cute soft doodles add the perfect touch to this page!

Then we've got: 'Fun in the sun', Adore the composition and layering of the greens and flowers here. Also like how she used the ropes!!

And last but not least: 'I wish for you to...', the extraction on this page is outstanding and love how she used all the little word strips. Also like how she used the paper to make it look like grass and well it just all comes together wonderful!!

So here ends my post for today...I would like to thank Sara for letting me highlight some of her pages and I would love for you to have a closer looksy in her beautiful gallery and leave her some sweet lovin' ! :)

Thanks everyone and will see you all on Friday. Be sure to check back here tomorrow for some shoppe hunting with Jenny! :)

Well, did you hear??

Hi ladies, Gina here, and I had to sneak in here to Annie's lovely post and put up our announcement for the Site CT girls!!   TeresaP (Tee), Joan (jonee), Niiki (Niiki) and Gabs (evitangel) will be wonderful additions to the team, which is an amazing team of ladies that work so hard for us!  I am constantly amazed at how much these 13 ladies do willingly and cheerfully to lessen the load for us and we love them and are so grateful for them!

I also wanted to make a little note of some changes with our personal CT's as well!  For a year now we have had some great CT girls come and go and we have had a marvelous time!  They all have worked so hard to create amazing works of art with our designs.  But now we have decided to run our personal CT's a little differently and we are excited to see how it goes!  Each of us (HEidi, Pat, and I) will each have a large list of some wonderful scrappers - talented ladies that we have noticed in the galleries and that have supported us in so many ways.  Each time we have a new release they will have the opportunity to scrap for us as their schedule allows and as we need layouts.  We will always be on the lookout for more of you ladies so keep posting your creations in our W&W gallery and participating in our challenges!  :) 

You can go to our forum to the new section of Product Layouts HERE and see all their various creations under each product as well as our gallery to receive inspiration!  We are excited to try this new very low-stress and FUN way of doing things and are so grateful to all these ladies that have accepted and who work so hard for us!  So thank you and welcome all of you to W&W !!!

xoxox! ok, now on to Annie's post:    :)

Did you hear about 4 new amazing girls joining the Site CT here at Weeds and Wildflowers?? I'd love to congratulate TeresaP (Tee), jonee, Niiki and evitangel. They are the latest Site CT girlies here at Weeds and Wildflowers and we are thrilled to have them join us!! I know they are all THRILLED at the great opportunity! So proud of them! Get ready to hear a lot from them here on the blog and in the forums! YEAH!!!

So my question for today falls in line with the new  accomplishment of Teresa, Jonee, Niiki and evitangel.

What is an accomplishment you are most proud of?

Is it graduating college? Being a parent? Meeting your scrapping goals? Reaching your exercise or diet goals? Or something more everyday like managing to get all the kids in bed by 8pm or finding time to paint your toenails this week. :)

Share your accomplishment and post the reply here and I'll choose a random poster to win $10 to the Weeds and Wildflowers Shoppe.

ooo Come Look N See - Best of the Bunch 5/21

Happy Wednesday my fellow Weedsters! It's the Best of the Bunch time again and I'm back to show off one of Heidi's Dandilions!!

Julie Marie !!! A paper scrapper since 2004, Julie turned digi in 2006. Her passion since high school (wasn't that just last week? LOL ) is photography and her skills in that area are so evident with every page she scraps! ... always keeping her photo(s) the focal point in her pages. Come on, I'll show you ...

"Take Time To Play" - could Julie's title be any more perfect for that adorable photo! And I just LUV how she uses only a few embellishments, keeping that photo center stage and still impacts the fun play of color in her page!

And I simply fell in love with her "2 Snowflakes" page! Dontcha just love Julie's choice of papers and elements! And that black and white photo is too dang cute!

 

Julie Marie's "The Wonder of Cars" is just precious. Her clean composition and simple clustering of elements draws your eye right where it belongs ... to that darling photo!

Thanks girl for letting me spotlight a few of my favorites pages, If you have a moment, and want to soak up some more yummieness, why not skip on over to Julie Marie's Gallery and leave her some well deserved LUV!

See you next week Weedsters!

Traveling

Hi ladies! Annie (laughterqueen) here bringing you another $10 Tuesday. As I write this I'm currently hanging out in West Virginia, but a few days ago I was in Virginia, then before that Alabama and prior to that Germany. Oklahoma will be the next location we'll be visiting here in the next week or so. So in the course of 2 months I'll have been at 5 different locations. Whew. I'm tired! :) I'm not naturally the type to really enjoy traveling. Living out of suitcases and learning to keep my 2 year old occupied during long airplane/car trips isn't exactly my definition of bliss BUT I do love seeing new things ONCE I've arrived. Love trying new foods, new shops, meeting new people. SO my question for you today revolves around traveling.

Where is your favorite place to visit?

It can be a far away destination like the Bahamas, Asia or Europe, or some place close to home like a local coffee shop or clothing boutique. For me I LOVE visiting home, as in where I grew up & where my family lives. Love going to my parents house and smelling & eating my mom's yummy cooking, love hearing the hum of my mom's sewing machine, love sleeping on the same super soft cool sheets I slept on as a kid, love hearing my Dad's laugh, love having deep belly laughs that I ONLY have with my precious family. So for me I LOVE visiting good ol' home. It's hands down my favorite place in the whole world!!

Go ahead and leave a comment listing your favorite place to visit and you'll be in the drawing to receive a $10 gift card to the Weeds Shoppe!

EDIT: Congratulations to Tina B.! Check your email for your $10 gift card to the Weeds Shoppe! Thanks to everyone for participating!

See you next Tuesday!

Annie
