{the post with all the links…}

Yup, this post is gonna be full of links, places that I love and thought I would share with you all!

First, the new Spring issue of Scrap­street is out. I have an “Inspi­ra­tion Way” arti­cle in there, titled “Quote me” (which might fea­ture some of my dear blog read­ers works… {smile})

This also means that there is a new call for sub­mis­sions. For our next issue I am look­ing for…

Chevron Chic. Draw your inspi­ra­tion from the image below and let your cre­ativ­ity flow! Think out of the box and make a lay­out of any size, card, or altered item. Please include a line in your sub­mis­sion telling us how this image inspired you.

Dead­line is mid­night May 19th for all calls.

Please send your work to smikatti@gmail.com

Please send a sep­a­rate email for each sub­mis­sion you would like to be con­sid­ered for pub­li­ca­tion. Please keep the image size around 600 x 600 pix­els. Thank you!

There are a whole lot of other calls too, which you can find here. Good luck!

Sec­ond, I wanted to share the Cre­ative team call open at Jes­sica Sprague’s web­site. If you are dig­i­tal scrap­booker, this is an amaz­ing, truly amaz­ing place to be at. More details here.

Third, I can­not believe I have never men­tioned these amaz­ing women on blog yet. My fel­low Craft Experts from the Fiskars team. All of them cre­ate such beau­ti­ful projects, I am sure you will be inspired! (I still kinda can’t believe I am on their team!)

Fourth, these are some of the chal­lenge sites I love to visit. Noth­ing like a good chal­lenge to get your craft going!

Some the new blogs I am fol­low­ing and lov­ing! (i had to clean out my reader, and purge out tons of blogs, but I felt bad two days later, and added some new ones)

 And lastly, but most impor­tantly, here is a the hash­tag that my friend Niru­pama and I came up with.

We both usu­ally stay up late at night to scrap and tweet. So we cre­ated a hash­tag #twit­ter­crop for all you to join us in this online crop.

What could be more fun than scrap­book­ing? Why, scrap­book­ing with friends!!

Last night, was our first online scrap­book­ing tweet crop, I didnt scrap much, coz the baby didnt sleep till really really really late (atleast her ear infec­tion has healed!) but it was SO much fun to hang out with other peo­ple, see­ing what they were scrap­ping and chatting!!

Thank you @LiveTeachCre­ate  @soap­house­mama  @johannahb_08  @2littlezsandme  @nirupama01  @SmithaKatti for com­ing to our crop! I am sure we will be plan­ning another one soon– as soon as we find some time

So there, I just jammed your day with pos­si­bilites

Have fun!
