Looking Good...keep them coming!

The White Space Challenge

Good Monday morning everyone! I hope you all had a nice Father's Day weekend. We got home from our big Grand Canyon road trip, so we just spent the weekend recovering, but our trip was AWESOME! If you get a chance to visit the Grand Canyon you really must...it is spectacular!
Today we have a challenge that really is a big challenge for a lot of ladies on the DT. We got into a discussion over on the MB about trends that we never really "got". Someone stated that they never got the "white space" trend...but it was quickly pointed out that this is more of a style than a trend...which led me to think it was time to give it a go!
So this time around it is all about the white space. I still have to get mine done, but I am definately all over this challenge, because I find myself looking at my whole page needing to be covered, so this is something I am looking forward to doing. This challenge runs from today through July 2nd. Please be sure to link up your work in the comments section so we can add it to the slide show. And I am not going on any trips over the next 2 weeks, so I should get them updates pretty quickly! :)
Have fun with this one and here is the awesome inspo from the DT!

Double Trouble Slide

The "Double Trouble" Challenge

We have a really fun challenge for you today...and while it might sound easy, I think most of the team found it a bit more challenging than expected. This is called the "double trouble" challenge because the only patterned paper you are allowed to use is one sheet of double sided patterned paper. You can use cardstock, stickers, book paper, sheet music, but only ONE sheet of patterned paper! :)
This is running from today through June 18th, so please be sure to link up your work so we can add it up to the slide show!
Here are the DT's examples:

Life Slide

"A Week in the Life" challenge

I am sure many of you feel like us and say to yourself every so often "where did this week go". Life just seems to be flying by with all our commitments, work, kids, and other "stuff". So, we thought it might be fun to document a typical week in your life RIGHT NOW. What's going on, what keeps you busy, what are your "detours", and what is your routine.
This challenge is running from today through the 4th, and I will be choosing a random winner for a super cool prize with this one, so be sure to get your entry in for a chance at a fun scrappy prize! Just add a link to your work in the comments section so I can find it! Have fun with this one!
Here are the DT examples (Most are done with the Lemonade Stand kit):

Motherhood Slide

Motherhood Challenge

We all have moms. Many of us in the scrapbooking community, are moms, writing and recording our children's stories. Design Team member, Virginia Tillery, came up with a beautiful challenge paying tribute to MOTHERHOOD. This challenge begins today and runs until Friday, May 21st, 2010.

Watch this short video, and use it as inspiration for the words and images on a layout, as either a tribute to your mom, and the ways she taught you to "write your story," or as a love letter to your kids, and what you want them to carry with them... the essential truths that you want to pass on to them.

"What I would tell her... if I knew what to say."




Here is how the Noel Mignon Design Team was inspired . . .
