Merkee’s Spotlight at Oscraps is almost coming to a close! Don’t forget to drop by the Merkeley Designs Blog Train and grab the awesome freebies for you!

For her Spotlight at Oscraps this Week, Merkee has set up a challenge with AWESOME prizes when you join!

Your Challenge This Week

- Scrap a “past” event/time that marked a very special moment, achievement or get together in your life or the life/lives of someone you care about.

This can be a milestone birthday, anniversary, graduation, babies first steps, special award etc. (Anything that is a “Kodak” moment you don’t want to forget!)

- Use at least 50 percent of Merkeley’s stuff (keep reading….she’s got a great freebie for you) and as always, 100 percent of Oscraps stuff. (Dig into your Oscraps stash and have fun!) (Remember photo actions don’t count).
Edited to add: You may use the blog train element/alpha freebies but NOT the Quick Pages. Your layouts need to be created from scratch.

Note: Any Merkeley Designs products will work, you don’t have to use the freebie…just her stuff!

- Post your layout in the Oscraps Designer Spotlight gallery.

- Come back to this thread and post a link to your image (and the pic please if you know how) so we can leave you some lovin’ in the comments.

- Post all layouts by Sunday, Aug. 2 (midnight EST-USA time zone please).

Isn’t this AMAZING?!  Hurry now before you miss this awesome opportunity!  Anyway, for this challenge, I did a LO with my friends from High School.  Of course we’re still friends today even though all of us don’t live in the same city.  This photo was taken in our sophomore year in college back in 2002.  We also had different Majors but we still found time to be together, glam shots and all.

I Used:
Background Paper: Making Memories
Additional Papers, Green Curl, Button: Sharon
Additional Papers: Get Together
Purple Paper Piece: Hey Lady
Alpha, Stitches: Chocolate Charms
All by Merkeley Designs

Merkeley Designs will be spotlighted on Oscraps on Monday next week!

And now, here’s a peek of what you’ll get on the blog train next week!

Good morning girls!  I’m up bright and a little bit early (at 8 AM LMAO) to post my entry for SM.  I was busy making a LO las night and when I was done, I decided to post it while I was already ensconced in bed.  Unfortunately, I feel asleep on my laptop, it being turned on and ON my lap!  Luckily my kitty, Twylah jumped up on my bed and woke me up about an hour later and I must have just turned it off and went back to sleep. hehehehe

Okay, enough of the babble and on the LO!  I just love the new July Collab Kit, Homespun from Oscraps!  I entered this LO for their Spotlight Challenge and this time, they spotlighted a member and all I had to do was to lift her page!  Unfortunately for me, this lady makes AWESOME LOs and I had a hard time lifting it.

Here is my attempt.  I call it Love Will be Our Home.

I Used:
Homespun, an OScraps Collab Kit
Available at OScraps

Journaling
*this is a few lines from one of my fave songs by Sandi Patty, Love Will Be Our Home

Wherever there is laughter ringing
Someone smiling, someone dreaming
We can live together there
Love will be our home.
Where there are children singinig
Where a tender heart is beating
We can live together there
Love will be our home
Wherever there is laughter ringing
Someone smiling, someone dreaming
We can live together there
Love will be our home.
Where there are words of kindness spoken
Where a vow is never broken
We can live together there
Love will be our home

*I lifted Not in the Mood by my3hens*
