A Scrapbook Layout, A New Design Team and A Scrap-It-Girl Challenge...

My blogging pal, Kimberly, over at Scrap-It-Girl now has a BEAUTIFUL new website! She is so talented and I am SUPER excited that she has asked me to be a member of her design team! Each month Kimberly will host a fun challenge and will giveaway some really cool prizes to the winners...so you will definitely want to be a part of the fun!

Here's a line up of the first 3 Scrap-It-Girl challenges for 2012:

1. Jan. 11-Jan. 31: Kimberly will be attending CHA in California later this month, so this month's challenge involves using items that start with the letters C, H, & A. Some examples would be: cardstock, chipboard, canvas, hearts, hardware, hero arts, arrows, abc's, animals...etc., etc.  

2. Feb. 1-Feb 29: Show some love!! Use hearts, xo xo, or do a layout about someone or something you love!

3. March 1-March 31: Go Green Month. Use recycled products on your page!


Here's an example of a layout for the first challenge, using items that begin with C, H, A:

I created this layout using a photos of my Grandad Franklin and myself - taken about 50 years apart - at Pike's Peak. I used mini compasses for the "C" requirement, hemp twine for the "H" requirement, and the arrows on the compass background paper represent the requirement for "A".

Here's a close-up view of the journaling, which gives the story of the photos:

Don't forget to link up your C, H, A project at Scrap-It-Girl!! You have until January 31st and I can hardly wait to see your creations!!!

Wishing you a blessed day!
