Quezztion of the Week - October 19, 2008

There are lots of posts on saving money by using materials not neccessarily marketed for scrapbooking and by reusing scraps but Do you ever think "GREEN" about this hobby?
Do you make an effort to use your scraps and materials you find in everyday life? Do you pass materials on so someone else can use them? Do you purchase used instead of new?

BWC # 21 ~ GO MONOCHROMATIC!

Congrats to the following SHCG girls who completed their Fabby Fanatics layouts:

Jesse's True Fan

Marsha's My Wild Card
Marlene's I Love LeSportsac

My challenge to all of you is to create a monochromatic layout. You may choose one color and all it's shades and tints plus a neutral color such as black, white or tan. Also, all the embellishments must be in the same color family. I'm so excited to see what you all come up with and I hope you enjoy this challenge.

Happy scrapping!!!

I was the first to answer Sharon's game show QOW, so now it's my turn :)
If you could go back in time and live in any time period, where would you choose? I just love watching Little House on the Prairie and if I could choose one time to go back and live in it would be that era. I know that's probably not the most comfortable or easy living time period but the whole idea of living in a small community and having the whole focus of life on family compared to how things are today, I would love that. So, where would you choose to live?

QueZZtion of the Week - Oct. 5, 2008

Okay since I answered Marsha's ghostly QOW first, I'm up.

When you're watching a game show, what topics come up that leave you yelling at the TV, because you KNOW you'd SWEEP the category if you were on the show? For example, any time "80's Music," "80's Pop Culture" or "Pop/Rock Music" come up as a topic on any show, I friggin ACE the category. Those "Jeopardy" contestants may know their nuclear physics, their world dictators & their hemispheric geography. But at least I know who sang "Pass The Dutchie"!! What game show topic are you a whiz at?

BWC #20 - Fabby Fanatics!

First things first....

Marlene responded to BWC #19 with "NY Bagel" and Marsha responded with "Best Food of the Year." Great job Marlene and Marsha!

On to the new BWC....

My topic is Fabby Fanatics. Your mission is to create a LO showing what you are the world's biggest fan of. It can be anything- a sports team, a band, a brand of clothing, whatever you are fanatic about! You must have a photo of your "trump card"... that is, the thing that proves your superiority in the world of fan-dom. (For me, it's my University of Iowa tattoos. :) ) My LO will be forthcoming as an example.

Happy scrapping!
