We’re celebrating all month long with great giveaways. The grand prize winner will receive the October Main Kit featuring Echo Park and Carta Bella!  It’s perfect for your Fall projects.

Echo Park and Carta Bella are partying along with us and they have donated terrific prizes!  Three blog hoppers will win this prize below:

If you are following the hop, you should have arrived here from Kris Berc’s blog.  

My Creative Scrapbook releases four kits each month. I designed with the October Creative Kit, pictured below.

   

This is a layout I made with the Creative Kit, which features a cute Fall line from Doodlebug. 

In this layout, I used journaling spots for both function and design. I used a large die-cup leaf to add a pop of color. 

The next stop on the blog hop is Marilyn Rivera: http://marilynrivera.blogspot.com/

The blog hop ends October 8 at 11:59 pm Eastern time. Winners will be chosen from comments on participating blogs and will be announced on the My Creative Scrapbook blog October 13.

You can find all the details for the hop on the My Creative Scrapbook blog. Subscription information for the monthly kits can be found here.

Thank you for stopping by and for your support of My Creative Scrapbook. We would love it if you would follow us on Facebook.

National Donut Day and a Giveaway

I was on Facebook last month and I saw that some of my friends had posted about National Donut Day. What kind of holiday is this? Well, one with free donuts, of course! We couldn’t let this holiday pass us by, so after dinner, we hurried on down to our local Dunkin Donuts and went in for a free treat. I think this may be Cory’s new favorite holiday.

I used the July Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook to make this page marking the holiday:

The kit features Echo Park Paper’s Hello Summer collection and I thought this yellow background paper looked a little like donuts (you may have to use your imagination here, lol). I used a simple design and mostly let the photos take center stage. Donuts with sprinkles. Yup, life is good.

Here’s a closeup of the title work.

Love those multi-colored alphas and little banners.

Have you been over to the My Creative Scrapbook blog lately? You might want to go take a peek. We’re giving away TWO July Main kits this coming week that feature Carta Bella’s Beautiful Moments. The kits contain the full Beautiful Moments collection plus lots of extra embellishments.

Here's a pic of the July main kit we're giving away:

It’s super easy to be entered to win the July kit. Winners will be chosen from comments on both the My Creative Scrapbook blog and Facebook page. To enter, follow the My Creative Scrapbook blog, "Like" the My Creative Scrapbook Facebook Page and leave a comment at both places telling what you'd create with the kit.  It's as simple as that! One winner will be drawn from the My Creative Scrapbook blog and one winner from the Facebook page. Winners will be announced on Friday, July 20th.
