in the july/august 2010 issue of creating keepsakes, there's an article called "designer challenge: from layouts to card". and in the july/august 2010 issue of papercrafts, there's an article called "designer challenge: layouts inspired by cards". the creating keepsakes dream team girls were each given a card created by a papercrafts designer, and we each made a layout inspired by that card. and then the papercrafts go-too-gals were each given layouts created by the dream team, and used them for inspiration in making a card. it's fun to see how scrapbooking and cardmaking really do go hand in hand, and how we can find inspiration from each other.

if you go to the creating keepsakes blog and scroll down a bit (taking in all the other great projects, of course), you can find a really cute card designed by rae barthel. then if you go to the papercrafts connection blog and scroll down a bit (once again taking in all the other great projects), you can find my layout that i was inspired to create, based on rae's card. it was such a fun project to work on. make sure and check out the july/august issues of both magazines, so you can see all the other creations by the rest of the girls.

and if you think it sounds like a fun idea, there are two challenges going on right now. i think you still might have enough time to get in on one of them, and have a chance at some prizes. check out the Club CK blog, where you can participate in the card to layout challenge. and check out the moxie fab world blog, where you can participate in the layout to card challenge. 

and while i'm talking about Club CK, i thought i'd give you a few more links. there's so much fun stuff going on, that you might lose track or miss something. did you know you can see what all is scheduled to be featured for the week, in one spot? it's all on the Club CK blog, along with lots of challenges and other info. click HERE to find the CK Club happenings for this week.

if you've been checking those "what's happening this week" posts, you might have even seen a SNEEK PEEK of something i worked on recently, that i'm super excited about 😉
