Scrapbooking/ Mini Albums

It was so hard to choose a winner for the January entries for Year in Review. Everyone did such a fantastic job on the challenges!

I decided to choose Right Now by Hockeymom – I love how she managed to get so many photos on these pages, and the white doodling looks fantastic!

For the second winner, I put all the layouts that were uploaded to the gallery in a random generator and the following one by Brendab won!

Congratulations to both of you! Can you please email me your addresses (jess.acs@gmail.com) and I will have your prize packs sent out to you right away 🙂

Is everyone ready for the February round? I’m just working on the first challenge, so watch for it soon!

Ready for the next one?

alright, this challenge is about something new or different you (or you and your family) have done this month. It can be about a place you went, an activity you did, a new restaurant you discovered, or even a new person you met.

For me, it was trying something called Geo Caching. I did a one page layout this time and included some pictures of our adventure.

Try to get at least a few pictures on your layout.

For everyone participating in the Year in Review Challenge Contest, here is #2:

A recap of your favorite moments of 2007. While they are fresh in your mind, go back through the photos you took throughout the year and pick out a handful of some special moments that really stand out. I used a square punch (the Whale of a punch size) to punch out my photos.
Use whichever title you’d like, for example I used “The Best of 2007” , you could also use “Favorite Moments of 2007” or “Moments to Remember of 2007” or make up your own title. Try to get as many small photos on there as you can. Also, make sure you have some sort of journaling on there so you know what each photo is.

Have fun! Can’t wait to see what everyone’s favorite moments of 2007 were!

I did a double layout but if you can fit it onto one page then go ahead

Is everyone ready?

Now this is going to be a challenge for me, as I have basically only done mini books for the last 8 months or so. Layouts of any kind are a total challenge for me right now, lol.

So here we go!

The first challenge is “Where am I now” or “Right Now”.

Use the following questions to help your journaling. Try to use some of your own handwriting on the layout (you can do either a one or 2 page spread). Also get as many “little” photos as you can and mix them up amongst your journaling. Using a small circle or square punch helps a lot for the photos.

I did mine as a double 8 x 8 layout and used all my own handwriting as well as few alphabet and number stickers here and there. I used a circle punch to punch out my photos and I also punched out circles from an old airplane ticket and a movie stub.
