As a design team member, My Scraps & More asks that you are not a design team member on another scrap site with an online store.

Crop Chocolate Chocolatier

I recently became a Crop Chocolate Chocolatier, which basically is a design team member for this online store. As part of the design team one of the requirements is to post pictures & a description of our creation to the Sweet Talk section once per quarter. The pictures are of projects we completed with products available from Crop Chocolate during the quarter.

It all started with this:

And here are the cards & layout I completed using the products from Memory Makers.

Favorite Layouts

I was going through my completed layouts that need to go in an album and came across a few of my favorites that I thought I would share.

The above layout was completed for 7 embellishment challenge. It is hard to see, but some of the flowers on the left side have been replaced with heart buttons.

The above layout was completed for a reminisce challenge. We had to take a picture of something from our past that meant something to us. I took a picture of my Annie doll that I got for my 5th birthday. I journaled about how special she is to me.

The above layout was for a challenge that required the picture to be in black & white and one area highlighted with ink.

This last layout was a scraplift that I did for a scraplift challenge. I used both doodling and rub- ons for the flourishes
