Okay, with NSD and going out of town, and work, I've been SUPER busy and a tad forgetful lately...
but I've finally remembered while at my computer at home, that I need to pick a winner of this challenge!! Thanks for all the participation ladies!! Y'all did some great layouts and I'm glad y'all were inspired by the mood board and the holiday options. random.org has picked blfonty as the winner! I am sending out your GC shortly. Thanks for playing along!
************************************************************************
It’s hard to believe April is already here! April brings with it warmer temps (hopefully for some of you!) and the wonderful colors of Spring. It also means that hopefully we’ll be able to go camping finally this month! And my husband’s birthday and his dad’s too. Lots of things going on!
As I did last month, as long as no one objects, this month will again be a Christmas OR Other Holiday challenge. I’ve gathered a list of Monthly, weekly, and daily Holidays and wacky celebrations that are held in April, for your scrapping pleasure. This is not a complete list, as I’ve removed some, but I think all of these could easily be used as inspiration for a scrapbook page – or two! I’ve actually got a couple pages in mind myself after reading this list!
Option 1: Since everyone seems to really like the mood board idea, this option will give you a chance to use a mood board! Make a Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa scrapbook page/card/December Daily/Journal Your Christmas etc. using this mood board as inspiration. Please say which part of the mood board inspired you.
Option 2: Make a scrapbook page using one of the holidays listed below as inspiration for your layout.
Twist: For BOTH options, I want you to use Musical Notes somewhere on your page. It can be in the paper, an embellishment, etc., but please make sure it’s clearly visible. You do NOT have to have lyrics from a song (but you can if you like!) but please use music notes etc. somewhere.
Bonus Twist: IF you can make a Christmas/Chanuka/Kwanzaa layout AND use a theme from one of the holidays listed below, you will get TWO entries into the drawing!
Rules: Must be a new layout/card/December Daily
May be combined with one other March challenge that allows it.
Multiple entries are allowed.
Entries due by April 30, 11:59pm. All eligible entries will go into a drawing for a $5 GC from ACOT!
