Can you believe its time??!! Well, its here! Scrapbook Challenges Design Team Blog Hop!! Yay! So, grab your scissors, develop some photos and let’s get cropping!

How does this work, you ask? It’s easy! If you’re just getting started on the hop, head on over to Pamela’s blog. She’s your first stop! If you’ve been playing awhile, and have made the other two spots before mine, then awesome! Here is the sketch for our Blog Hop and my ‘take’ on it. I ended up using some old photos of my brother that I had in my stash (he’d kill me if he knew I posted them on the web!). For my journaling…um, well…it didn't turn out like I liked. Should have used a ruler! But, I am leaving it! Life is about making lemonade!

 

Anyway…back to the hop! Play along and YOU could be a lucky winner! Here’s how!

1. Post a comment on ALL the team members blogs you could win one of 2 Kits from Apron Strings Monthly kits!
2. Everyone (whether you are a member of the MySpace group or not) that does a layout based on the sketch above gets entered into a drawing for a stamp set from Unity Stamps...its a seriously cute stamp set!
3. Anyone emails Pamela the answers to these questions (pamelacy@msn.com) gets entered into a drawing for a different Unity Stamps set!
    1. What is the name of our guest blogger today?
    2. Name one of our newest DT members.
    3. How long has Scrapbook Challenges on MySpace been around?
    4. Which Scrapbook Challenges DT member also designs for Scrap Within Reach?
    5. Are you a member of Scrapbook Challenges on MySpace

And for the heck of it, here are  5 little factoids about me. 1. I love October Afternoon papers. Not just like…I would forgo all other paper brands if I could have a lifelong stash of OA! 2. I have two adorable dogs, AJ and Annie. 3. I hate to cook. My family eats out, usually, at least 4 nights a week. 4. I drink a glass of iced milk every night before bed. I figure if I add ice to the milk, then its practically ice cream without all the calories! 5. I am a twin. My ‘other half’ is a boy (and no we are not identical. Think about it!) named Michael.

Want to win a surprise RAK from me?? In my comment section, list 5 things about you! I will draw a winner on Monday morning!

For your next stop on the Scrapbook Challenge Blog Hop, you’re going to go to Marilyn's  Blog. Go check out her blog, and see her awesome work!

Thanks for stopping by and playing!

xxoo,
