New Years Challenge

Tell me what your New Year Resolution is.  Have you ever made one that you kept up with?  I know I make them every year, and I quit them all within the month.  I even made a scrapbook page with my 2007 resolutions.  If you have a picture to post of your resolutions, post them here!

*We are still giving away monthly prizes for all pictures posted.  This is the last week for the month of December.  This is your last chance!

WC - Dec. 19th thru Christmas

Not a "Real" Challenge...

We thought we'd take this week off and just enjoy

the almost-Christmas feeling in the air.

(And of course we mean that in a GOOD way.)

So, a feel-good question for this week:

What's Your Favorite Holiday Tradition?

Weekly Challenge - December 12 to December 18

This weeks challenge is to post anything that you have handcrafted yourself this holiday.  Like a Christmas present, a decoration, an ornament, etc...  (maybe we will get some great ideas for some special people in our life)

Lielanie's challenge:

Here’s a box I made, a lot smaller than the gift card one but similar concept. That is a necklace that Adrianne made for her BFF.

WC - Dec 5th thru Dec 11th

Fa La La La....

Felt, Fiber or Flowers!

Create something this week that has one of the above in, on or around it.

WC - Nov. 28th thru Dec.4th

TRY THIS!

We found this ADORABLE Heather Bailey gift card holder here: http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/links/GiftCardBox.html

It comes with a free template and instructions, and is the PERFECT way to start crafting for the holidays!

Don't forget to send your pics to weeklyjem@yahoo.com

*Note:  Mel and I both made this and ended up with the tray being too big for the sleeve.  Adjust accordingly.  JeM

Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  I thought it would be nice to see some scrap pages, or other art forms, to show "What I Am Thankful For".  I CAN NOT wait to see what you all come up with :)  Remember there is a prize up for grabs.  You can enter as many times you like!

Weekly Challenge November 7 - November 13

What have you been saving? A recital program? Play or movie tickets? Report card, post card, receipt, love note? Whatever it is, scrap it. Or make art with it.  Do something creative :)  Remember we will do a drawing at the end of the month for a prize winner!

Weekly Challenge November 1 - November 6

Letters!  I want your challenge to include lettering of any kind.  Rub Ons, chip board, stickers...  The more unusual the better.  Think outside the box!  Remember its not just scrapbooking, it can be anything creative!**

**We have decided that we are going to add an extra incentive to get creative. When you post a challenge this month, we will add your name to the hat. We will pick one name out each month to win a prize! The more you post, the more chances you have to win!
