This
really worked for me last summer, and I know that a lot of you said the
same, so guess what?! We get to do it again! Yaaaaayyyyyy!
Summer is here, and with it a more relaxed schedule.
Even though summer is very busy with activities, it is still important to make
time to scrapbook. To help you, I am
"challenging" you to join me in making a commitment to get one double page
layout per week of summer done.
This means that every week this
summer, you will sit down and create a layout. (If you know you are going away
one week, then create 2 layouts the week before.) The layout doesn't have to be
fancy, and if you preplan your pages, shouldn't take more than about an hour.
(Of course if you want to do it fancier, that is great too).
What this means is that by the end of summer (Labour
Day), you will have at least 10 layouts created. (If you do more that is
awesome! 10 is the minimum). Challenge one of your friends to join you, and
maybe even get together every week to create the layout, making it a social
event too. (Complete with lemonade and watermelon!)
Once you have completed your "Commitment Sheet"
(available at the PE demo bar - or you can print one off here.) and have 10 PE staff signatures on it, enter it
to win a $100 Prize basket. There is a maximum of 3 weeks initialed in
any one visit. (To allow for holidays, but to also ensure that you don't wait
until the end of summer and stress out over getting 10 layouts done in one
week!)
If you are a Facebook person, you can go to PE's Facebook page and upload your completed pages to our wall!This way we can whoop and holler and encourage you as you create! If
you are like me and have no clue how to do this, bring us your layout
and we'll scan it and upload it for you. Everyone sharing gives
inspiration!
If you are one of our out of town friends, you can still
participate, by emailing us a scan/photo of your layout each week to [email protected]. We will keep a commitment
sheet on hand for you to initial off on, and we can email you a copy also for
you to keep track with.
Please don't
"cheat" yourself, and submit layouts you have previously done. Use this
challenge to create some more layouts that will be cherished for many years to
come and to get another story told. There is space on your Commitment
card to write down some ideas for layouts each week so you can preplan what
supplies and photos you need.
FAQ (actually the answers) Yes, you can do two single page layouts instead of a double page layout. Yes
you can use a kit or PTM Kit, or class layout, or predone type layout
like Bisous - but it isn't finished until you have photos AND
journaling on it! Yes, you can do 2 or 3 layouts in one week if you miss a week. Yes, you can create way more layouts once you get your groove going. Yes the layout can be simple or fancy - it just has to have photos and journaling. The answers are pretty much yes, as this is for YOU to help YOU get something done!
And
yes, you can still participate even if you don't want to bring it in
and show us. Mark down each week which layout you got done to keep on
track. You'll never regret time you spent creating such a precious
keepsake.
