{Scrapbook Challenges} FIRST Birthday Bash!!

 

Welcome to SC’s First Birthday Bash Blog Hop. You should have made your way here from Racquel’s blog. If this is your first stop, hop on over to Pamela’s blog to make the rounds from the beginning.

A year ago today Scrapbook Challenges made the jump over to the Ning network. In that year the group has grown by leaps and bounds and I am so honored to be part of such am amazing community. In honor of your First birthday the design team has a week of challenges, fun and games planned...oh and of course a sketch just for the occasion:
 

And here is my layout:
 

Just like all of our SC blog hop’s we have some fabulous prizes to offer. Everyone who leaves a comment on all the blogs in the hop will be entered into the drawing to win the It’s Your Day collection from Fancy Pants Designs:
 

Everyone who does a layout based on the sketch and posts it in the Hop On section will get entered into the drawing to win the Early Bird Collection from Cosmo Cricket.
 
Are you already a member of Scrapbook Challenges? Everyone who invites someone to the group during the week, through the "invite" link on main page, gets entered into a drawing for the Road Map collection from October Afternoon:
 

Not a member? Well why not? Everyone who joins the group during the Birthday Bash gets entered to win the Merry Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper Company:
 

Now it's your turn to join in on all the fun. Make your way over to the Hop On Section of the forum for all the details. Thanks so much for joining us on our First Birthday Bash Blog Hop. And a huge Thank You to all the members of Scrapbook Challenges who make it such a fun place to be. We wouldn’t be doing this without all of you!

Have a great week and Happy Scrappin!

{Scrapbook Challenges} Seasons of Change Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Scrapbook Challenges Seasons of Change Blog Hop. If you are starting at my blog please hop on back to the beginning of our hop at Pam’s blog(http://www.pamelasworldofscrap.blogspot.com/). Like always there are a ton of goodies & eye candy along the way.

Scrapbook Challenges was originally formed by Pamela on MySpace. After some hiccups with MySpace the group was moved over to Ning. We love and welcome all paper crafters & scrappers (Traditional, Hybrid & Digital). There are many monthly challenges & sketches. For each one you complete you have a chance to win a prize from our monthly sponsor. Pamela works so hard to get some pretty amazing sponsors. Each term we try to keep things fun and fresh and this term will be no exception. We have some BIG things in the works and I am so excited to get started.

For those who have never visited my blog before here is a little bit more about me. My name is Brynn Dukes. I am a 28 year old SAHM/Digi Designer/College Student originally from Washington State. We moved to Florida in September 2009 after 3.5 years living in Germany, and we just moved (again!) to Mississippi at the end of June...aww the Army life. My husband Geoff has served in the US Army since 1995 & we have 2 little ones that keep us super busy. You get to see them in 99% of my pages.  I have been paper scrapping/crafting since I was little. I discovered Digital Scrapbooking in March of 2007. My son was born 10 weeks premature and scrapbooking was my creative outlet during the days when I couldn't be with him during his stay in the German NICU. I currently sell my own digital line of scrap booking designs at Elemental Scraps.  Because Scrapbooking isn't enough my other crafty hobbies include photography, sewing, soap, candle, crocheting and jewelry making. I love working with Pam’s sketches and have been a member of the Scrapbook Challenges DT since it’s start. This term I am continuing my position as the Coordinator of the DT, at this point I don't think Pamela will ever be able to get rid of me :)

Pamela has yet again created another great sketch for our Seasons of Change hop:
