Yesterday I showed you some gorgeous ATCs made for the challenge at the forum. If you'd like to try making ATCs, why not hop by Swirlydoos store to collect some 7gypsies ATCs:

Today I would like to show you some awesome ATCs made by members of Swirlydoos. Right now our dearest Peggy is hosting a challenge called "Thinking Small". Here are some ATCs that have been posted so far.

Woo Hoo!!!!  We MADE it!  By now most of our subscribers are totally rolling around in their June kits and from the comments I'm reading.......well, let's just say that they are MORE than happy.  Some of our subscribers have been asking for a more manly kit.  I think Krissy met the challenge.  Here are a few of the comments from our subscribers after receiving their kits:

• "OMG!!! Krissy, you SO MET the CHALLENGE!! I gotta dig through all my Dad photos and use all the goodness in this kit!!"  Maggi 
• "Man oh man....I was ewwwwing and ahhhing....and had a Swirly *****! Talk about awesome! Krissy girl you continue to amaze me kit after kit!" Barb 
• "Got mine too today! Whoooopeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! It is totally gorgeous and REALLY fun! Krissy there are some AWESOME things in there that I've been itching to try out so THANK YOU! And thank you for my wonderful Dusty Attic haul and the clear stamps. BEEEEEEEEEEEEJOOOOTIFUL! So generous!"  Jennifer

And the comments go on and on.  *Clapping and standing ovation*  Thanks Krissy, you rock!!!

•  We have some kickin' challenges going on that are hosted by our members this month.  One is all about superheros and the other is about ATCs!!!  Go check out our challenge thread here and join in the fun.
• The girls are back from camp and have been sharing some stories along with pictures, plus they are sharing some things that they learned.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I can't wait to see what you all do with this month's kit!

It is early June and we are having fantastic weather here in Sweden. Is it the same for you? And it is soon time for me to have some vacation. I am really dying to get more time to relax and to scrap during the summer evenings. Right now I feel like scrapping a page about SUMMERTIME and then I would use these products from the Swirlydoos store:

I have had a fabulous weekend together with friends celebrating my dh's 40th birthday. And I have learnt that we should be grateful to have so many wonderful and caring people in our lives. I think I'll make a lot of Thank You cards and send to each and everyone of them. Perhaps my goal for the summer?

XO, Lisa

What kind of alphas do you like? Chipboards, small, large, stickers...? Swirlydoos has got them all.

Wowza! I came across some beautiful cards in the Swirly gallery. They are made with the gorgeous May kit. All the details are just stunning! Lots of inspiration for the rest of us...

Happy Friday and more importantly, happy Memorial Day!!

First thing I would like to say is that our hearts and prayers are with all of you in Joplin as well as the other areas that have been devastated by severe weather and tornadoes.  With broken hearts, we are all thinking of you and praying for you all.

• There are still a few tickets left for the Swirlydoos Workshop with Ingvild Bolme and Marion Smith with the Prima Road Show.  This workshop is going to be at CHA in Chicago.  Click the link to the right and get your ticket!
• The June Swirlydoos kit is getting delivered to our subscribers right now.  There is a lot of ewwwing and ahhhing going on.  The kit is AWESOME and there are so many little extras in there.  The kit will be revealed on 6/5.
• The 2nd Annual Swirlydoos Camp is about to take place.  A few VERY, VERY lucky ladies are getting ready to head to a cabin in Colorado for some scrappy fun!! Have the best time!!!!
• Our monthly challenges are winding down and our challenges for June are in the wings.  Great news for our international ladies, the monthly kit sketch challenge has been changed so that it runs until the 15th of the following month.  So, our June sketch challenge will run until 7/15, and so on.  

On this upcoming Memorial Day weekend, we would like to take a moment and think about the men and women in our military.  I know that they are in our hearts and minds always, but Memorial Day is the time when we can nationally celebrate them and their sacrifices.  Please take some time to go to a local parade, visit your local cemetery and look for the flags, say a prayer, leave a flower, shake a hand and say thank you.  We appreciate who you are and what you are willing to do!!!!  Never forget.


Have a fabulous weekend!
XO, Lisa

The Swirlydoos monthly kits always include lovely blooms. Many of us use lots of flowers on our layouts and may even be perma on the flower add-on. And if that's not enough...(I know that I'm a bloomoholic)...you can always pop by the Swirly store to shop some more flowers to add to your beautiful projects. There are flowers from several manufacturers in store. For example:
