October Challenge/Contest- Rules & yadda yadda yadda

This month I have a Challenge which has turned into a contest. I'm looking for you to mail or bring in a layout with the view point from your husband about "being a wife of a scrapper". The challenge came to me while I was doing my blog & checked out another blog- Life of a Scrapper's Husband. I got to thinking - which is really kind of scary if you really know me.. "hey why not make this a challenge & see what others can do with this". Yes- the dear hubby will have to be involved... I mean it's his point of view & you doing it.. how fun will this be!? Just think you two are doing something together & when you go to buy any supplies you can say "honey, it's for OUR page". Can he really say anything then? I think not.


So..what does one win?? (see photos above) For First Place: Crop In Style Fashion Tote bag with some goodies- plus Crop In Style Camera Bag and bragging rights! Second Place: Crop In Style Fashion Tote bag - Third Place: Crop In Style Camera Bag.. and both get bragging rights as well!
The fine print aka the RULES:

• ALL Layouts (LO) must be in by October 31, 2007


• Only scrapbook layouts measuring 8"x 8" or larger are eligible.


• 2 page LO will be considered as ONE entry.


• All layouts submitted to the contest must be scans or photos of physical layouts. Some elements composing a physical layout may have been created in a digital environment, but such elements must be printed and affixed to the layout. Such items must not compose the majority of the layout. Computer generated fonts and journaling are acceptable.


• Please provide a recipe of what items you used. If you don't know.. that's okay. (This helps us when people ask what was used)


• Please have your name & any contact info on the back of your LO

Judging will be done between November 1st & 3rd. Judging will be based on, but not limited to the following criteria:

• Design elements (color, repetition, balance etc.)



• Use of title/journaling (the story)



• Photo quality



• Originality and Innovation.

Winners will be announced the Monday November 5th. Layouts will be displayed in the store & will be returned the first week of December. If mailing & you wish to have your LO returned, please send return postage in the same amount along with your return address. If you are local you may pick up your LO the first week of December. Any questions?? Please email us at scrapharbor@aol.com

Finding a funny

In the scrapbook world we always find our funnies.. this is a funny. I admit to finding this on another blog.. the guy- YES a guy and you have to check it out.... Life of a scrapper's husband. The point of view from a guy is quite funny. NOW- if Dan (the dh) would ever take the time to do a blog.. pretty sure this would be it. .and even funnier if a friend of his Mike - jumped in with him. So I asked myself "would it be FUN to scrap a page from the husbands point of view of what is it like to be a wife of a scrapper? So I challenge you to do the same.. and now I may even have a contest on this.. so keep in touch here to see if I do.. and ANYONE can enter.. near OR far.. come on why not?? Okay-- yes- I'll have a contest on this. For 1st- 2nd & 3rd-- you have until October 31st to enter. I'll add MORE details later once me-myself & I have it all figured out!
