Hey KCB fans! I thought I’d post something fun for you all today! Earlier this week I asked my fellow CT members to answer some questions in a little quiz I found, here are some of our results! Why don’t you join in and tell us what the quiz says about you?

The quiz:
http://www.quizilla.com/quizzes/645550/What scrapbooking item are you?

My results:
You are Fibers!
Fun and crazy at times. You are a warm fuzzy kind of person. You run around getting things done but still find time for fun! You have so many diverse interests that it is often hard to pin you down to any one thing. People love your friendly attitude and carefree ways. You often brighten other people’s days. But Fibers Beware - Sometimes people don’t take you seriously because of your happy-go-lucky ways. Sometimes you find yourself feeling left out from decision making that could directly affect you. Even though you like to be happy and cheerful, make sure others know that you can also be serious and in tune with reality.

Laura aka scrappinsweetie & Tracey were also fibers!

Jennifer aka Jennilyn’s results:

You are STICKERS!
You like brightening things up in life and decorating your living space with your own personal style. You are versatile and able to get things done with a stick-to-it attitude. People love your colorful personality and personal flair! You like exploring new things and are willing to try anything once. But Stickers beware - sometimes you like to stick to someone that you like a little too much and take them into your confidence a little too easily. Your personality tends to make you a steadfast friend, but make sure the friends you choose are worth your efforts!

Sonja aka tuneskids’ results:

You are PAPER!
You are an all natural basic person who likes to act as a foundation to others. You are willing to take a backseat in most of your relationships and let others take the spotlight, while you show your support and help them shine! Underneath it all, you are the one who makes it all happen. You are the focus and stability in any group, even if you are not the leader. Others look to you to set the pace and provide ideas for ways to get things done. But Paper Beware - sometimes you get a little edgy with the people who look to you for support and can give them some papercut remarks that can hurt their feelings. Remember to watch what you say, because you are best when leading by example.

Kimberley aka kpollinger’s results:

You are GLUE!
You are the adhesive that keeps things together. You go through life helping others. You stick to people and try to keep people together. You like it best when you are surrounded by people and able to help them. But Glue Beware - in your efforts to keep everyone together and with you, you sometimes overlook yourself and find it hard to keep yourself together. Don’t neglect personal time in your overwhelming need to socialize and help others.

So what scrapbooking item are you?

I’ve also included a tiny pillow box that you can print, cut and assemble… mine contains 4 Hershey’s “kisses” for my mother and mother-in-law, so I can send them “long-distance kisses” for Mother’s day I love it! Here’s a preview of the finished Mother’s Day set, the link to download is just below the photo. Download, print (8×10 for the card and 5×7 for the box), cut and assemble… then you’re done! Enjoy!

Hi, this is team member Elizabeth with yet another My Sunshine QP! I think we are all loving this springy cheerful kit, it’s an absolute delight to scrap with.  You can see my original page in the ad below, but here is the QP I came up with.

Feel free to download it, here and let me know what you think!

Happy Tuesday to everyone! I just wanted to share a quick freebie with you from Kristin’s newest kit, My Sunshine, which is new in the shop this week. I’ve made a girl’s and a boy’s version of this page just by removing the scallops of the frames to make them a little less feminine.

Here is the link for the girl page and here’s the link for the boy page. Enjoy and Happy Scrapping!!
