Scrapbook Challenges Blog Hop!!!!!

It is finally here! I can't tell you how excited I am to be part of this Blog Hop.

.

The first thing you need to do, is go over to Pamela's blog! Go ahead and head over there and get started. I will see you again in a few minutes!

.

Welcome Back! Let me tell you a little more about Scrapbook Challenges, in case you don't already know.

Pamela runs a group on MySpace called Scrapbook Challenges and does a fantastic job creating all these sketches! Each week, there is a new sketch and 2-3 challenges offered by members of the Design Team. For each sketch or challenge that you do, you get entered into the drawing for the prize each month! Pamela also gets us really awesome prize sponsors each month! You can see this month's sponsor and prize here! The group is free to join, all you need is a MySpace account. You can share as much or as little as you want in your profile. There is also a thread each month just to post your work, and each week Pamela picks one layout to highlight each week. You can see May's Work here! You can check it out the group as a guest, but need to have your MySpace account to post and participate. While you are there visiting, you can see the challenges that have been offered so far this month!

This sketch was designed specifically for the Blog Hop!

I invite you to make a layout based on this sketch, it is a fun one! You can twist it, turn it, flip it, whatever you want as long as it resembles the sketch in some way. You can post it at Scrapbook Challenges in this thread, or you can post a link to your completed layout on Pamela's Blog. Be sure to post your link in the correct post!

This is what I did for the sketch! I used DCWV cs, Pink Paislee Fetching pp, buttons, MM Itty Bitty letter stickers which I inked, and MM Passport cb letters which I inked as well.

This is ME! My name is Marilyn Wiggins, I am 34, and am married to a wonderful man, Cliff. We have been married for 8 1/2 years. I live in Beaverton, Oregon. I currently living with my parents, helping to support them. I have not been able to have children and it is my dream to someday have a family. For now, I enjoy my two kitties, Cisco and Toby. I have Type 2 Diabetes, and continually struggle with taking care of it properly. I have been scrapbooking for 5 years. I love all thing paper crafting-scrapbooking, ATCs, cards, altered items, etc! I am totally obsessed with it and usually do something sb related every day! My life would not be complete without scrapbooking!
