Now & Then Challenge

It's such a satisfying feeling to pull out a scrapbook you've made and pour over the pages of photos and memories you've been able to record. I truly believe there is no such thing as a "wrong" way of scrapbooking, but let's face it . . . once in awhile we make a page that just didn't turn out the way we wanted it to. Maybe we were in a hurry, maybe the colors we chose at the time didn't compliment our photos, maybe we spelled something wrong . . . ??? Whatever the reason, we all have those pages. :)

For this challenge, we want you to grab an older layout and redo it using newer products, new title, or whatever. Look at it with new eyes and re-scrap that page. This challenge will run until Friday, August 13th. Link us up to your design, including the page you redid. Have fun!

Check out the pages our designers recreated below.

No Patterned Paper Slide

It's a NO Patterned Paper Challenge (With a Prize)

Let's face it, we all LOVE patterned paper. That is one of the reasons we scrapbook. A lot of people don't "get it", our obsession, so let's try a challegne where there is no pretty paper, only cardstock, stickers, overlays, journaling cards, rub ons, ribbon, etc. Basically you can use anything EXCEPT a sheet of pretty pattern paper.
Now that doesn't mean you can't emulate paper with something else. If you look at our examples below, I bet there will be lots of times when you think "that's PP", but other than overlays, there is no PP down there. Lot's of stamps, stickers, tape, and rub on's, oh yes...and overlays are OK!
This challenge is running from today through July 30th. And I have a PRIZE to give away!! It's a Xyron Create-a-Sticker! Then you can sticker up all your LO's!

I will pick a random winner from our entries, so be sure to link yours in the comment section so I can find it and add it to the slide show!

Have fun with this one!! Oh, and I still have about 10 Office Party kits left over in the store. Several of the LO's above were made with this kit, so head on over and grab one, so you don't miss out!

Independence Slide and "Office Party" up tomorrow

Just wanted to remind you all that the new kit, Office Party, is going to be up tomorrow morning! This is a really fun kit...and as the title says, sort of Office themed with a twist. Here are a few sneaks:



Be sure to head over to the kit section of the store bright and early tomorrow morning to pick yours up! :)

Your Independence Challegne

I hope all of our USA friends had a fabulous 4th of July celebration yesterday. My group had a great time spent with family doing a 2+ hour fireworks show, BBQ, ice cream, watermelon, "beverages", and lots of cousin fun!
We have come up with a fun and unique challenge for you all to work on over the next two weeks. This one focuses on your independence. When do you feel like you spread your wings and flew on your own? Was it leaving for college, when you got married, have you ALWAYS been an independent type? Scrap about it and share it with us!
This is running from today through July 16th. Please be sure to leave a link to your work so we can add it to our slide show!

White Space Slide

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!
