Time to share the newest
MONTHLY CHALLENGE at SIMPLE STORIES

| {Click ABOVE to go to the Simple Stories Blog} |
This month's challenge is to use any
Simple Stories Simple Basics to create a card, layout or other project.
Of course you can add other elements from the Simple Stories Collection,
but the main focus needs to be Simple Basics :)
Today the Simple Stories Design Team is sharing all sorts of cool stuff using
Simple Basics. Here is the layout that I created for the day:
I love that you can mix and match the different Simple Stories Basics from different lines:
the Year-O-Graphy works beautifully alongside Awesome!
I think the Blue adds just the right amount of pop to the layout, without over-doing-it.
I yearn for an old manual typewriter so that I can type directly onto pieces for my projects.
But I found that you can get a very similar look by using your home computer and printer.
First, I downloaded "Typerwriterhand" from dafont.com and typed out my
journaling onto a regular sheet of paper. I then cut out the journaling card
and (using a lightbox or lamp) placed the card over the printed area
with just a bit of adhesive; just reprint as before and gently remove from the paper.
I have done this for several projects and so far it's worked like a charm :)
I hope, hope, hope that you all get a chance to play along with this month's challenge!
Just go to the Simple Stories blog to check out the details and deadline.

My middle son, Zachry graduated 8th Grade last night. He gave the
Benediction and was rewarded with a trophy and certificate for 90 and above
grade average for the year. Zachry is actually #3 in his class...just a couple of more points
and he could've been Salutatorian! But we're SO proud of him nonetheless...he's
such a great kid. And anytime something goes amiss or we can't figure out a problem,
we just ask Zach LOL
We have High School Graduation tonight, in which my oldest, Tyler will be
participating in...I may not be able to fight back the tears on this one!
Thanks for letting me share
Have a wonderful weekend, friends

Here's my take using patterned papers and accents from the Sole Sisters collection
You have until February 25th to link up your finished project on the blog!

The brand-spanking-new I-Magicut Ribbon Cutter.
It doesn't just cut ribbon, it seals it too....no more frayed ribbon ends...say what?!?
Yep, you heard me right.
No more bottles and bottles of No-Fray for me!
I know there are times that frayed ribbon ends 'might' look cute, but I almost always treat my ribbon ends...this tool will be my newest BF :)

MISS ARTS PAPERCRAFTING
Okay! I finally have my class for Miss Arts taped and edited. Alyssa says that my class,
"The Rule of Three's" will be available in March!
The class covers The Triangle, The Grid and The Odd...now doesn't that sound intriguing?
If you're a little stuck on how to better your scrapbook pages, then this series maybe just the thing to help nudge you in the right direction.
I'll keep you updated here with the exact time that it will be available.

EAD DESIGNS
I officially begin my Design Team capacity there today.
OH. MY. OH. MY.
Just WAIT until you see what I've made for my back porch eeeekkkk! I'm in so much love of EAD products. From vinyl appliques for your walls and home decor, to fingernail embellies, the cutest rubons and stickers...so many possibilities with EAD :)
So, beginning Monday, February 6th, you will see the EAD Monday Give-A-Way Blog Hop right here at The Papered Cottage. That's right...a give-a-way every single Monday! YES!
Along with weekly giveaways, you'll see 'inspiring ideas' brought to you by the Design Team through the blog hop. Trust me, you will be inspired...these gals are super talented and find so many fun and unusual ways to use EAD products.
You will be in ♥....love, I tell ya!
As much as I hate to...these floors won't get mopped if I keep sittin' here. Then it's onto some finishing touches on the Miss Arts' class, a birthday card and my next project for Imaginisce.
Much to do!
Hope you have a fantastic "hump-day"
