today's my special day. welcome welcome to my blog if you've never been here before. :)
memories...
over the past few years i've had a bunch of layouts published in simple scrapbooks. there are two layouts that i did for simple that no one has ever seen. i had a cover attempt for the february 2008 cover. my layouts weren't chosen, but it was so fun to work with the photos i was given. i thought maybe you'd like to see them! if you click on them they will get bigger.
looking at them now - boy are they similar! lol. what was i thinking?
the way simple scrapbooks did covers was they gave you two photos. three designers created two layouts each for a total of six layouts. the designers are given no information about the photos. basically you create journaling and a title from the photo without knowing anything about them. i think that was the hardest part for me - figuring out the journaling.
BIG PRIZE!
my fabulous sponsor scrap diner has generously donated a $20 gift certificate! if you've never ordered from scrap diner you are in for a treat.
sherine is the faster shipper in the west! she has tons of new product in her
store. thanks sherine for donating a gift card for one lucky simple follower!
all you have to do is answer two trivia questions and you will be entered to win the prize. these two are a little trickier!
name five places that you can find the simple scrapbooks philosophy thriving in a post-simple world.
who designed the celebrate simple week logo at the top of this post?
you have until midnight on saturday may, 2nd to answer each of this week's questions. answer each day on the post for that day. i'll draw winners on sunday morning.
that would be cathy z!!
