This week at Pages in Time Sept 12

As always here's a lot going on around Pages in Time.

First we have this week's question of the week.

How did you get into scrap booking?



I would love to hear your how you got started here.



This week we have two layouts of the week to grace our screens as layout of the week.


Also we have a wonderful sketch for you to play with in the sketches forum. And check out Karen's blog Thursday for our newest sketch.







If you need ideas on how to create something, you can always check out our muse of the month Gabriella P. Her blog is showered with stunning pages and awesome tutorials so check her out. I hope to soon add her to the scraplift the muse challenge, but in the mean time you can still have time to enter in last month's muse (Gabriella P) of the month scraplift details are here
scrap lift the muse challenge.

There are plenty of other groups to spark and engage your interest like:
all about cards
mini album makers
portraits from the past
and the ever popular altered and mix art artisans

And for more fun and motivation come play in the available challenges this month like: going in circles, paint challenge, Darnest things kids say, and purple & gold.

A little standing ovation to August's challenge winners:
Kelly - distress challenge

April - stamp challenge

Levesque- ribbon challenge



And be sure to keep your calendar clear the first week in October for
Croptober Fest
an on-line crop hosted by your Pages in Time design team.





Now I'd like to spot light a few of my favorite pages added to the Pages in Time gallery.

This shabby shadowbox card was a contribution by, one of the amazing design team members at pages in time, Annar posted here. I just compled my fist shadow box layout and it was super fun just as i imagine this cad was to make.

"A day We Never Forget"By Solveig Martenssonaka "mammasol" posted here. Her layering and masking is amazing but what she did with that vase of flowers is unreal.

"Happy Minutes" is an awesome contribution by Yulia Kayer posed here. I love the background paper she used on the layout. She showed amazing skill at creating a page with multiple photos.



Everyone knows I love trying new things so here's an awesome tutorial I'd like to share.

Andrea's country time flowers.

Sept. 12 Layout of the Week for Pages in Time - it's a DoubleHeader

This week you will get two layouts of the week.So help us honor both layouts by stopping by and leaving extra love in their galleries.




Karen selected former PIT design team member Karen Z's "morning coffee" layout. Karen says: I LOVE all the different techniques Karen uses on every one of her pages! On this particular one she has used, stamping, punching, masking to name a few. I just love looking at her pages, I can stare at them for hours and keep finding more goodies, the longer I look! I completely agree Karen's page are eye candy meant for looking at and re-looking at. Thank you Karen for your amazing contributions.

Speaking of eye candy and another amazing contributor, Cindy selected the very talented Gerry van Gent's layout "Boy". Don't you just adore the shadow box style layouts? Gerry spiced this one up with an edge punch that looks like shutters and lots of chippies and other amazing details. She is brilliant with the fussy cutting techniques.

August Inspirtaion Muse of the Month

This month's inspirational muse is Gabrielle Pollacco. I'm so glad she is our August Muse, but it doesn't take a special month for me to recognize how inspirational she is when it comes to scrapping. You must also see her wonderful tutorials. She walks you through make such beautiful and realistic flowers and she also has a polished stone tutorial that is extra pretty and realistic.

To honor her, I'm hosting a scraplift the muse challenge with a RAK to one random lucky winner. Come join the lifting fun.
