Platinum Scraps was originally launched February of 2010 as a vision of several friends who met on the Cricut Message board who wanted to venture out into creating, sharing, and showcasing the many talents each of us possess. Platinum Scraps showcases the diversity in scrapbooking and features designers from all walks of life. To keep the tradition going, each week our design team is challenged to create a unique layout or card based on a sketch that exemplifies their skills and talents. We hope that we inspire your creations and we appreciate your continued love and support as we grow together.

Technique Challenge Week - Dry Embossing
This week the design team had to make a project using the dry embossing technique. In order to "dry emboss", you will need a die cut machine and die or dies.
There are many machines out there that allow you to dry emboss and most of them are interchangeable (meaning one die will work in another machine). The leading die cut machines on the market for the average scrapbooker are Cuttlebug, Sizzix, and Quickutz die cutting systems. Each machine plates. Refer to your owners manual for instructions as to which plate does what.
You can also emboss with a stylus and believe it or not, but I was told by a friend, that you could emboss with a rolling pen and your die folder. Go figure.
Happy Memorial Day to all of our friends and followers.

This week at Platinum Scraps we are celebrating one of the most loved people in each of our lives, Our Mom's. Mother, Mom, Mama, Mommie, are just a few names that many of us call the woman who has no boundaries, and goes above and beyond. Each designer has come up with their own project to honor their Mom.
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms all over the world.

Your Scrapbook Stash - Sponsor Paper (FFA)
This week's challenge combined the use of paper donated to us by our generous sponsor Erica over at http://www.yourscrapbookstash.com/. Each designer was given paper from American Crafts line, Blue Skies and the designers were able to create any project but had to use the sponsor's paper to showcase their creativity. For those of you new to the world of blogging, you can click on the designer's name after their project or the name located by the picture to go directly to that designer's personal blog for more great projects.
