Tribute to Mad Men

Hello, hello.  Sorry for the delay, busy as usual.  But moving right along(do I say that a lot on this blog, I feel like I do)

First of all I want to let you all know that we will be having a design team search very soon.  So be on the lookout for that.  We are looking to add some new faces to our team, and keep the Creative Type going strong.

Ok now onto March's challenge!!

We are calling it our tribute to Mad Men, finding inspiration from advertising back then and using it in a layout design.  Sounds like fun?  Are you inspired to dig around for advertising back then and incorporate it into your scrap booking?  Well get a move on and link them up here before April 1st!

Here is what some of team A came up with:

Please welcome our newest Typist.

Here at The Creative Type our team is always evolving. We have some team mates who have been with us since the beginning and some who have joined in the past few months. Today I wanted to introduce our newest design team member, Nicole.

"I'm Nicole, aka Ginger. I've been scrapping for about 3 years, but just really started getting into it about a year and a half ago. I love beautiful things, playing with paper, my two yorkies, baking (& aprons), shopping, makeup & anything vintage/eclectic. I've been with my boyfriend for 8 years & appreciate him because he pretends to be interested in anything and everything I create. I'm a nurse by night, a ginger by nature, a crafter by hobby, and a foodie by choice. I live by the motto "Do something creative everyday." You can check out my blog to find more about me! (www.gingersparkles.blogspot.com) Happy crafting!"


Welcome Nicole, we look forward to you and all you have to share with us here on The Creative Type!

Love song.

With Valentines day looming over us, we have the perfect challenge for you. Love songs. Pick a love song and create a project relating to it. There is just one twist though, use something musical as an element (your font, graphic, embellishments. etc) Whether it be a sad love song or happy one, have fun!


Our guest designer this month is Lisa Kercher.

"Lisa here, aka FormerlyLisaS. I try to be awesome at least on a semi-daily basis, and then blog about it. I love wide open blue sky and have a crush on every hay bale I've ever laid eyes on. I make up songs about farting for my five year old, and I try ever so hard to make my husband love me in spite of it! I scrapbook because my memory is like a...insert metaphor for something that can't hold things here. I want to have a visual record of my existence in this world. I believe art is life and life is art, and anything I can do to express myself, my feelings, my memories, my triumphs and defeats is a-okay in my book! later skater alligator..."

Thank you Lisa!
