CROP

Over at my favorite scrapbook club Personal Scrapper.com they are having an online crop in their forum section. Whether you are a subscriber to the kits or not, you can still sign up for the message boards and participate in the crop. The crop goes from Friday to Tuesday, giving us all plenty of time to complete some of the challenges. I have decided to post the challenges here and hope that some of you will sign up and get some scrapbooking done this weekend.
I will post pictures of the layouts I do underneath the challenge it went to.

CHALLENGE #1: PUNCH IT OUT GIRLIES!!!
Use your punches!! This was one of my favorite scrapbooking supplies years ago!! I am going to dust some off and use a few!


I recently learned how to punch a scallop boarder using a photo corner punch, so that is what I did here. This was a project in my Heidi Swapp class (2007) that I never completed. It is just a little book that you keep in your purse with the favorite things of your friends and relatives on. That way, if you have to buy them a gift, you have a reference.

CHALLENGE #2: WRITE ABOUT IT...
This layout must include some journaling. This is a good chance to use up some of your journaling cards, journal stamps, computer, etc. - just JOURNAL!!


CHALLENGE #3: SKETCHY SKETCH CHALLENGE
Use this sketch as a guide for your layout.
