HAPPY SCRAPPING!
February 12, 2008
Is anyone else busy? Whoa! I feel like all I do all day is ’stuff’ and I don’t get the chance to sit down for a second! Everyday is just so jammed packed of things I have to do or places I have to take the kids! But that’s life I guess and we have to make the most of what we have!
Thankyou to the two entries which were emailed in from last fortnights challenge (has it really been a fortnight already?!) The layouts were gorgeous and will be great to look back on in years to come.
Here is a slide show of all the layouts which were created for this challenge.
This weeks challenge is coming a little late in the year but I think now that the rush of Christmas and New Years is over it is a good time to give this topic some thought.
GOALS AND RESOLUTIONS
This can be for this year or you may have some goals that span over a couple of years. I know finishing uni is a huge goal of mine, even if it will take me a couple more years to get there. I have a resolution this year to have no more ‘piles’ lying around the house. I tend to make piles instead of putting things in their rightful spots. So my resolution is no more piles! Here is the contributing teams take on the topic:

Kath:
Nic:
Emily:
In order to be in the running to win a prize (yet to be decided) you need to complete your layout by midnight sunday 24 February 2008 and either email me the layout to bethroid@tpg.com.au or upload your layout and leave the link in the comments.
I am looking forward to seeing all the wonderful entries!
HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!

We are back and hoping this year will be even bigger and better than last year!!!
The first challenge of 2008 is to
SCRAP A CONVERSATION
You can spin this anyway you like. You could scrap a conversation that hasn’t even taken place if you wanted to. For example I would love to speak to my nan and tell her some things, but she has passed now so I can’t tell her all the things I want to, but this way I could get the things off my chest. If you are too scared to tell someone something, maybe you could scrap that. My daughter once drew a scene about her cleaning her room and receiving pocket money, the deal was if she kept her room clean she would get pocket money, I of course kept the drawing and want to use the conversation as a basis of a layout. Then you also have ‘She said; He said’ coversations too.
There are so many different ways you could scrap a conversation! Dont be limited to an actual conversation!
To be in the running to win a random draw prize, layouts are due by midnight Sunday 10th of February 2008. You can either email me the layout to bethroid@tpg.com.au or you can pop it on your blog or in a gallery and place a link in the comments or email me the link. I will also put all the layouts on a slideshow to showcase them!
And here are our example layouts:
Kath
Nic
Emily
Tania
Vita
We look forward to seeing your conversations!!!
Happy Scrappin’!
