Hi, it is Jenn again.  I am here posting the latest In My Handbag Challenge.  We will be doing this challenge every other week on Tuesday, so bookmark us and keep checking back.  There is a great prize for one random participant, so come along with us and post your creation!!

A big thanks to Melissa who played along with us last week on our Hybrid Valentine journey.  Sylvie will be contacting you to see what kit of hers you would like to have.

This week our challenge will be All About Me layouts.  It doesn’t have to be a standard headshot with some random facts….it can be a any type of layout, or even an ATC….something that expresses who you are and what you are about.  Sometimes as scrappers we spend so much of our precious time focussing on layouts with our kids/family that we forget about scrapping ourselves.  So, let’s see your favorite morning routine, a list of the books you want to read, the lessons you learned from high school……Let’s see something about you.

Here is a sample All About Me layout done by Sausan Designs creative team member, Pauline. She used  Zapp Papers and PiP Elements to create her hybrid AAM page!

I also found some great kits that you can use to scrap these pages.  Starting with Sausan Designs, A La Mode.  The colors are amazing and how perfect would those doodled frames look around your photo!!

A second favorite kit is meMom.  How could you resist those doodled flowers and bright pink papers and elements!!

Another great kit for an All About Me layout is Miss Poppy.  That blue paper and those doodled photo corners are so amazingly unique!!

So, come along and play with us.  Post your layout in the comment section of this post before Tuesday, March 2nd and you can win a kit of your choice from Sausan Designs.

Hope you all found your very special Valentine!
Today I want to  show you another cute idea my CTM Britta came up with. You will love it and you will definitely want to try it, I am sure. But see yourself.
Heute zeige ich Euch ein hinreissendes Tutorial, das  Britta für euch gemacht hat! Ich bin sicher, dass ihr es sofort nachmachen müsst!

Supplies:
Ihr braucht:

Computer
Karl and Karla or Happy Easter digital elements
InkJet printable Cotton Sheets like Cotton Jet (they come in Letter/A4 format size)
InkJet Color Printer                                                          InkJet Drucker
Scissors                                                                         Schere
piece of matching fabric                                                   passenden Stoff
Sewing machine or needle and matching thread   Nähmaschine oder Nadel und passenden Faden

How to:
Und so geht’s:

Print this cute Easter bunny on a piece of  InkJet Cotton
Hasi auf ein Stück Ink Jet Printing Cotton ausdrucken.

Now cut the bunny out, leaving a seam allowance
Hasi großzügig ausschneiden

Then cut out a piece of matching fabric (it has to be larger than the bunny) and pin bunny and fabric, right sides together
Etwas größeres Stück als Hasi zuschneiden. Hasi und Stoff rechts auf rechts mit Stecknadeln zusammen stecken.

Sew around bunny, leaving a little opening for turning
Mit der Nähmaschine Konturen des Hasi unnähen. Unten ca. 3 – 4 cm Wendeöffnung lassen.

Now trim and clip curves. Leaving a little bit of fabric at the opening makes it easier to stitch it closed
Jetzt sind Stoff und Hasi zusammengenäht, die Konturen des Hasis nochmal auf dem Stoff ausschneiden. An der Wendeöffnung etwas Stoff stehen lassen, erleichtert später das Schliessen

Turn softie and iron it (NO STEAM!). This will make it washable.
Wenden und bügeln, damit ist das Softie auch waschbar.

Stuff and sew opening closed.
Mit Bastelwatte füllen und Wendeöffnung zunähen.

Isn’t this bunny adorable? And fast and easy to make! But be careful! It can get addictive!
You created a Sausan Designs Softie yourself? Show it in our hybrid member gallery
Ist der nicht süß? Und schnell gemacht! Aber Achtung! Macht süchtig!
Selbst ein Sausan Designs Softie  gemacht? Dann zeig es doch in unserer Galerie!

I am sorry but the next part will be in german only. Karla (you can see her in the very first image) goes travelling around Germany. Right now she can only travel around Germany due to postage fees.  But you can always drop by her Blog to follow her travel route. If you think that this is cute, please link to her and sport her little banner on your Blog !

Vielleicht habt ihr ja im ersten Bild Karla gesehen…nun Karla geht auf Reisen und vielleicht darf sie euch ja auch einmal besuchen? Dann macht  mit und ladet sie ein! Mehr darüber findet ihr hier auf ihrem Blog.  Schreibt darüber auch auf Eurem Blog, damit sie viele von Euch besuchen kann!

Happy Sunday and take care wherever you are!
