Keep them coming...you are doing a fabulous job!!

2 Pager Challenge!

Great job on the Summer Traditions Challenge everyone! It's so fun to see all the happy faces shining in the sun!
The time has come to tackle one of the BIGGEST challenges a lot of us scrappers face...telling the story in a 2 page spread! I have NEVER tackled a 2 page LO before, so this is on my "to do" list this week or next for sure! ;-)
This challenge is running today through July 31st. Please be sure to upload your link in the comments section, so I can find your work! If you are utterly stumped (like me), take some time to browse through the various sketch sites around the web, there is a lot of inspiration to be found. Some of my favorites are 52 Sketches, Page maps, and Inspired Blueprints. There are some great 2 pagers to be found there!
Happy Scrapping! And here are some awesome 2 page examples from the Design Team:

Summer Traditions Challenge

Great job on the Shabby Challenge last time guys! That was fun!! Now let's turn seasonal and scrap something that you find yourself, your family, your kids doing every summer. It can be making home made ice cream, taking a trip to a family cabin, hitting the beach...etc. Whatever you find you love to do during the summer months. We're calling it the "Summer Tradition" challenge.
This is running from today through July 17th! Be sure to add up your link, as usual, so I can find your work.
Here are the DT examples:

Virginia's Shabby Chic Bingo Challenge

Let's get shabby, shall we?! I'm a huge fan of the "shabby chic" style, and our resident DT member Virginia is a shabby connoisseur. Her work and projects always feature the elements of shabbiness....love that! :) So I asked Virginia if she could create a shabby inspired challenge for us, and she came up with a fabulous one!
If you are not familiar with the elements of shabby chic then take a peek at these photos and it will give you an idea.

Yum...pastels, florals, lace, crackle paint, bling... as the one and only Elsie Flannigan says "Holy Cute"! ;-) So, Virginia also had the brilliant idea of creating a "Bingo Card of Shabbiness" for you to all choose your own elements for how you want to create your work. Pick a row, any row...and run with it.

I picked a row and then discovered I had managed to also incorporate 3 extra elements in it as well. So it's not as hard as you may initially think. Give it a go!
This is running from today through July 3rd. Please be sure to link up your work (with a link directly to your LO) in the comments, so I can find it and add it to the slide show!
And I think it's time for a prize for a random entrant...so let's just say it will be a Jenni Bowlin Prize pack...because she is the reigning queen of scrapping shabby deliciousness.
Have fun with this one!
Here are the DT examples!

Friendship Slide

Friendship Challenge

This time around we are scrapping about friendships. As Robert Louis Stevenson said "A friend is a gift you give yourself." True, true...right? We all have those friends you can just be yourself with and laugh with until 1am. Or those friends you don't get to see but every 5 years, and when you do it was like you just saw each other yesterday. So let's celebrate friendship for the next 2 weeks!
There is friendship in the traditional sense. And then there are other types of friendships to celebrate as well. Is your dog one of your best buddies? Or do your grandmother and her pet parrot have a bond that is unbreakable? Do you have a "group" that gets together once a month for Bunco, or dinner and a movie? Or has your child bonded with a teacher that has developed into a friendship? Think about all the types of friendship you find yourself and you family surrounded with. There may be more than you realize. :)
This is running from today through June 19th. Please be sure to link up your LO here so we can find it and add it up to the slide show!
Here are the DT examples...lots of great ideas! Have fun with this one, and I can't wait to see all the friendship LO's! :)
