Let’s Play Stump the Chump!!
Well, you ladies are all too kind! I’m glad you weren’t disappointed there wasn’t an actual tutorial last week. And thanks for the suggestions for my new user name. I think glee is the winner and I’m going to go with ObiJanKenobi.
Speaking of glee, she was the first to send me a link to one of her layouts to see if I could discern which of my tutorials she used to create it. This is the layout she linked me to:
I’ll admit, she didn’t make it easy on me! SO I’m going to just make a guess or two. I’m pretty sure I see some elements of Making a Stylish Sandwich in there., and maybe some Style(s) Savvy. I also see some Blend Modes? Say What?. She’s probably used a few more too, but I’m stumped.
Next I got a link from Ellen (gmae). She sent me this layout to scrutinize:
Again, I see a couple of techniques. One is Word Art Wizardry. Another is Heritage Photos Get a Makeover.
And then almost right after Ellen’s message, I got one from her sister Carol (gnana96). Her layout has me completely stumped.
I think I detect some custom shadows, but it’s not obvious to me which of the half-dozen shadow tuts I’ve written. Help a girl out here, Carol!
This was a real challenge for me and I’m sure I’m at least 90% wrong with my guesses. And that’s OKAY!
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I’m painting bathrooms, cleaning ovens and all those nasty chores I like to procrastinate about because they’re not fun. But nobody wants to buy a house that’s not spic-and-span, right? We’ve booked our movers so I have a definite deadline now……… I promise to make time to bring you a new tut next week. Spring is coming, so don’t forget to put your clocks ahead on Saturday before you go to bed so you’re not late for church!! (How embarrassing is that?!)
It’s March! It’s March! In my little part of the world we are enjoying an early spring, the weather has been just perfect for taking photos of the outdoors!

The Monthly Mix this month is SO pretty. Bright, sunny and happy! Oh I’m getting so excited for spring!
Don’t stop reading yet! We have two New Guest Designers this month and We are so excited to announce that The Scrappin’ Serenity will be staying with us permanently!
And our we have two new guests this month! Snapdragon Digital Creations
Bio: “My name is Michelle and I’m the designer behind Snapdragon Digital Creations. My family and I live in Southern Ontario, Canada and we are all very big Disney Fans. I discovered digi scrapping back in 2007 and instantly fell in love. With my graphic design background I quickly found myself designing within the first year and I was hooked. After taking a few years off of designing to focus on my family I’m back and loving it.”
Here is a small sample of her work
And we also have Cutie Pie Scraps
Bio: “It’s so nice to meet all of you! I design under the name “Cutie Pie Scrap”. I Love to draw dreaming designs. I’m sure my scrap kits are unique and adorable because I used 85% creating my own fun graphics from my Scrap kits.
I love my family, my husband, especially my Mother. Without my Mother I’d fail in every field of life. My Father passed away due to kidneys failure. My Father was also an artist and Loved to draw sketches. So, designing is my legacy.
I love Baby designs, because I feel that babies are the gift of God. You forgot all worries when you see a pretty Baby’s smiles.”
Here is a small sample of her work
