Weekly Challenge #20

Thanks for all the storytelling layouts. Again, I feel this aspect is important. If you haven't done so, go and leave some critiques/praise for
Tiffany
Kayla!

This week, we're doing layouts with the "use of multiple photos" which is my favorite topic! Let's what ya'll come up with. If you have trouble with photo placement, make sure to look at the minichallenges I posted on this blog for tips!

Also, to enter Lucky Seven, you don't need to complete all seven layouts, so feel free to jump in and out of these challenges. The worst that can happen is you win 700$ worth of scrap supplies!

Weekly Challenge #19

Hi ladies.

We're onto more layouts for the Lucky Seven Contest. To enter the contest, you have to creat 1 to 7 layouts so feel free to jump in a create a layout - you don't need to create all seven to enter the contest.

Last week, layouts were done in the clean and simple style. Please critique/leave some loves for the layouts done by

This week, layouts should be telling a story. I feel this is an important aspect of scrapbooking. So choose a story you've been meaning to document, and create a layout. Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Weekly Challenge #18

Hi Grrrls. Last week these grrrls completed the heartwarming challenge.

• Tiffany
• Kayla {uploading on Monday ..}
  
• Brenda

This is for the Lucky 7 contest! If girls finish the heartwarming challenge later on before the contest ends, I will add them to the list.

Last week, the issue that the blog entries are not edited to include everyone that has completed the weekly challenges was brought up. I think it's important that the entries are changed if someone did complete the layout. Thus, I went and changed the previous weekly challenge {Turning Japanese} to include Brenda's lovely layout as I posted the weekly challenge too early and she hadn't uploaded her layout. So if you haven't checked it out, please do so now. Also, it was brought up that people are not acknowledging items received in the mail. Please ladies, if you get a RAK let the person know via PM or in the thread. It's not only proper etiquette, but it lets the sender be put at ease that the post monsters did not eat up the items! :)

Now this week's Challenge is to create a Clean and Simple Layout. Please post your Clean and Simple layouts in the weekly challenge thread and in the Lucky 7 gallery to be included for the grand prize. I am excited to see what you grrrls will create. For inspiration, pick up a copy of Simple Scrapbooks, or simply peruse their website.

And please don't forget to critique layouts. If you don't have time to critique a set of layouts then simply give some encouragement to each other :)

Embellie Kit Challenge

After much going back and forth I final have set up the guidelines for the challenge.

I've heard so many times that critique is about seeing it from other people's perspectives. Well how different will our perspectives be when we all have to use the same supplies?

I will be creating kits of embellies, paper strips/scraps, etc. Each kit should only be a few dollars worth of products (no more that $5). Everyone who wants to participate will receive a kit and must create an original LO using at least 90% of the products in the envelope. Since I want to keep this a surprise the envelope will also contain instructions such as what color background you may need to have. I'm really excited to see what everyone comes up with.

I will need to know who wants to participate by Midnight on Sunday, May 13, 2007. This weekend I will be pricing and preparing the kits. When I get the final total of people interested I can then decide how much to buy and what the final costs for the supplies and shipping will be. You can send the money to me buy mail (PM me for my address) or paypal if you prefer.

When I Grow UP MIni Album Journaling Prompt Day 10

Day 10 Journaling Prompt
Compare and Contrast. Sample reflection questions: Is my present as I had imagined? What would I have done differently in my youth? Do I find myself to be an adult? Do I ever think you’ll ever ‘grow’ up? What does being grown up mean compared to what you thought it would mean? What advice would you give your grade school self? Or your high school self? Where will you be in 10 years?

.........

Thanks girls for playing with me. I tried to make a full circle reflection with these journaling questions and I hope I succeded. <3 Kay
