Well Hello Sunshine!

In order to celebrate the brand new store opening of Addicted2Scrapping, we were challenged to create a greeting card...and here's mine! I really wish Michelle all the very very best with this exciting new venture! She certainly has an enthusiastic and excited DT behind her all the way!

Sooooo many challenges and comps over at the new forum! Want to win some prizes??? come and check it out...

Kylie has started up a Book of me challenge, which sounds GREAT!!!

From Kylie:

Will you take on the BOM challenge?Who and what do you scrap?I know I’m
always scrapping about everyone else, and rarely focus on me.

So this year, I’ve decided to create a BOM...and I'm challenging you to join me on the journey.Each fortnight between 4th Aug-1st May 09, I will be posting a new BOM challenge.

I want you to have a record of your life, your loves, your own personal story!This
is not a competition, but a participation. At the end ,1st May 09, if you take
up the challenge, you will have 22 layouts that reflect on all the things that
make you, you!

And to keep you focussed on your journey, I have a wonderful
participation prize up for grabs!How about a $100 ( could be a myer, kmart,
target, etc) voucher for you to to spend on yourself at the end?All you have to
do is complete at least 18 of the 22 challenges that are posted. Do that, and
you will go into the draw to win this fantastic prize!

PS....There will also be some small participation prizes along the way! So what are you waiting for. Go to the Participation Sign-up thread now...and sign-up to join us on this journey!
Conditions of participation:
layouts must be created specifically for this challenge
any size 6x6" or larger is acceptable (I'm doing an A4 landscape...which is a new challenge for me)
layouts must be posted in the monthly BOM folders in the Addicted2Scrapping gallery to be eligible for the prize
a minimum of 18 layouts must be completed.
If you don't start the journey on 4th Aug 08, but complete the minimum of 18 layouts by the of 1st May 09, you will still be eligible for the draw.
the prize will be drawn on Wed 3rd May 09.

There is a Words of Inspiration challenge starting up:

The competition will run over 2 months.
You will be given a weekly challenge every week, so that’s 8 layouts over the course of the 2 months.
You will be given each challenge at a set time and it will need to be in by a set time.
The prize for each weekly challenge winner will be a $5 A2S voucher!
The challenges will take the form of us giving you a word for inspiration, from which you will create your layout.
Which means you can scrap pretty much anything you like
At the end of the 2 months, all of the entries from the weekly challenges will be entered into a grand prize draw.
The winner will have the chance to win a very generous prize pack, or even a guest design team position for a month at A2S!!!!!
Now for the rulesTo be eligible for the grand prize at the end of the 2 months, you are required to have entered all 8 weekly challenges.
You will need to be an active participant of the A2S forum. This includes chatting around the forum and sharing your work in the gallery.
This is a great way for us to all get to know each other, so I hope you come and join in!
The first challenge and prize information will be posted on August 4th, 2008!

So come on over and join in the fun!!!
