Summer - Week 1 - WINNER!

Welcome to the Seasoned Scrapper, and welcome to our very first challenge.

This one was easy to decide what to do... everywhere I went in 2009 it seemed someone was carrying their 52 Pick Up journal in readiness to do the next challenge. It was great going to so many retreats and seeing them everywhere.

So to get you started on your journey in 2010, your very first challenge is to create a journal to record all of the challenges for Seasoned Scrapper, plus some room at the back to include Weekend Warrior challenges and whatever else may pop up along the way.

I used a simple art diary I picked up from a junk shop, decorated the front, added some tabs and it was done in no time at all. Check it out for yourself....

I've tried to use colours from across the seasons and I would like you to do the same.

Are your ready? Yes you are!

Products Used:
~ My Mind's Eye - Penny Lane papers
~ Carolees Creations Alphas
~ FTI ribbon
~ Kaiser Bling
~ Dimensional Magic
~ Journaling Pen
~ Colour-in pencils

Upload your journal into the Summer - Week 1 folder in the gallery by Midnight Sunday 7th of February to be in the running for the weekly prize.
Weekly Prize:- $10.00 Gift Voucher

To be in the running for the major prize for The Seasoned Scrapper - Summer term, you must upload ALL 10 challenges into the relevant folder/s in the gallery by Midnight Sunday 11th of April.
Major Prize:- $50.00 Gift Voucher

Don't forget! PM me when you have finished your challenge so I can update my records. If you forget, you might not be in the running for a prize!
