Hello!  Jan here.  Are you ready for another challenge?  Good!  I’ve got an easy one for you.

Because of Valentine’s Day, February is universally thought of as the month of love.  So your challenge for today is to create a page of something you love.

I chose to scrap about Disneyland, and more specifically Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.  I simply love Disneyland.  I love being there and I love thinking about it when I’m not there.   I can never seem to get enough photos of the castle, either.   It is just so beautiful!   See for yourself in this page I made using Fairytale by the Design Girl:

And for a bit more inspiration, here is a darling page from Kayla:

Now it’s your turn.  Show us a page about something or someone you love!  Don’t forget to add it to your Bingo card, either!

Have fun scrapping!

Please join us in the chat room this Thursday, Feb 2nd for some chatting, bingo, and of course PRIZES.

Didn’t do any challenges in January?  Well, come anyways and chat it up with us.  Plus you might even win the random prize drawing done from the all the chat participants names.

See ya there and keepscrappin’

Hi everyone! Sorry for the very late post but I was having some technical difficulties! eek! But here is your challenge for January 20th – Year in Review.

Just a few weeks ago we welcomed 2012 in and said goodbye to 2011. But we don’t want to forget all the highs and lows and in-betweens of last year.  Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to scrap a page highlighting all those wonderful (or not so wonderful) moments in 2011.

Here is my page using Garden Party by the ScrapMatters Design Team:

and check out this gorgeous page from Kairyn:

Hope your 2011 was full of good memories and that your 2012 will bring even better!

Hi all, Happy Thursday!  Carolyn here to bring you your inspiration for Challenge 19: Use a Black and White picture on your page. 

I have to admit that this WAS a bit of a challenge for me as I really love color photos.  But sometimes there is a particular kit that is perfect for my photo, but the colors just look horrible together.  That’s when a black and white photo makes all the difference. 

Here I was just LOVING Amber’s kit and wanted to smack every element in it on the page…I just love them all THAT much.  So, with all those papers and elements, my picture was lost.  Not anymore!  Once I changed it to black and white, it was much more visible on my busy page.  Here’s my layout that I had so much fun making with Just One Of  The Boys by Stolen Moments and Jenn Barrette Designs:

Here’s a sweet layout from Annisa, using It’s A Boy Thing by Haynay Designs and WM[Squared] Designs:

And here’s a fun layout from Jan with a partial extraction, using Backyard BBQ by The Design Girl:

Hope these inspire you to have fun scrapping some black and white pictures.  I cannot wait to see your layouts for this challenge!
