Designers TWO favorite projects - Happy Anniversary to us!

This week we are celebrating our 2nd Anniversary here at Practical Scrappers!  To kick it off our designers are sharing two of their favorite projects created for Practical Scrappers. One really fun thing to note is that some of these were made when these designers were readers and not yet designers!  I linked up some of them to the original post.  Let the fun begin!

Frugal Finds: Popsicle Sticks

Your practical leaders are back in action again this month with our frugal (dollar store) finds as we call them.  Erin and Christine both had their first picks with coffee filters and tape. It was my turn, this month and I chose popsicle (craft) sticks. Most of us have these lying around, especially if you use rub-ons.  Hopefully, we've inspired you with our projects this month and make you think twice before you throw away those wooden sticks when your rub-ons are gone.

Practical Scrapper Kerri used popsicle sticks here to to create her pinwheels (which actually spin) on her layout.  She painted them with her Adirondack white paint dabber.

Practical Scrapper Erin used some glimmer mist, washi tape, and a texture stamp to create her fencing that her picture is on.  You can check out the details on her blog.

Layouts Using Circles

We had you spinning round and round with our fabulous circle cards on Monday, today we take a look at our favorite layouts featuring the use of circles.  As with any trend, it always "comes full circle" and makes it way back around.  These never ending lines just don't seem to fade away.  Here's a look at our top 10...

Challenge me Tuesday: Acrylic Paint

**ETA I have changed the challenge item for next week. Please see below for a special anniversary challenge. Sorry to anyone who may have already begun projects using gears, I'll come back to them shortly.

Look at all the gorgeous projects we received using acrylic paint! I just love the variety of techniques used.
