**************************************************************

Hi all, it’s Monica here. This is my very first challenge here at ScrapMatters. Yay! I’m so used to doing the Words for Wednesday that this is kind of weird for me. So it seemed only natural for me to have my template challenge also be a journaling challenge. Now come one, no groans. It’s not that difficult. Journaling does not have to be this long ordeal, just whatever is in your heart to remember. Okay, so here are the rules.

1. Follow the template as much as possible, but do make it your own. Make adaptations as needed and embellish to your heart’s desire. Even flip it if the mood strikes you.

2. JOURNALING IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST. Also, the journaling must be your own original words. No quotes, sayings, song lyrics, poems, etc. allowed. (Please note that I have nothing against using quotes and such, I’m actually a huge fan of them. But this is a challenge and I’m going to make it slightly difficult.)

3. You don’t have to use ScrapMatters’ products. It would be great if you did, but this is your layout. Do as you wish.

4. Entries are due on May 19th. I’ll have the winners posted on May 20th.

5. You must provide a link to your layout in this forum thread. Let us all get a look at it and admire your talent.

See, that wasn’t so bad. Like all of our other challenges this is meant to get you to have fun. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with. In the end there will be two lucky participants to get a $5 gift certificate to the ScrapMatters store or your choice of one of my digital kits. One winner will be my personal favorite layout and the other will be chosen at random.

So if this sounds like something you want to participate in, grab your template here.

Take a look at some of the great layouts the ScrapMatters’ Creative Team has completed.

Why don’t you get started? Can’t wait to see your layout. Don’t forget to post your link in this forum. Have Fun!!!

Hi folks Andrea here.  We had so much fun speed scrapping on NSD that we decided to make it a regular event around here.  I sure hope you can make it–for more info, including help with time zone conversion, visit this post in the forum.  Lots of fun and prizes for everyone who participates. Everyone who completes the assignment will get this set of six templates for a participation prize.

There will also be two other prizes:
My favorite layout = Kit of your choice from Andilynn Designs
Random layout = $5 gift code to the SM store

And if we have more than 15 participants there will be some extra surprise goodies!

HOPE YOU CAN PLAY ALONG!
