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.
