Feature for Week 2 in February; 2/11-16/2008

[SuzanneCWalker]

What a FABULOUS MONTH. I am sooooooo loving the gallery - isn't it awesome!!?

So. We're into week two now! JOURNALING!!!

I'd like to especially challenge you to tell a story. A silly story, a sappy story, something serious or just a milestone moment you're having. Create your page around your story and let your words shape the feel, emotion, message of the page. You'll be glad you did. ;) :)

This week's feature is DSP Crash:
http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/images/05_F_DSP_Crash.jpg (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7490)
Use the font in your storytelling layout for the February page you're working on. Your bonus will be a distressed, irregular alpha in the style of the "Love" title from the Junky Lovin' Page Kit. So many of you have asked for it...... So, here it will be!

As always, post your layout in the GoGo Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=5422) before Sunday the 16th at midnight EST, and you'll receive a PM with the link to the alpha on Monday the 17th. And as always, if you're keeping up with each of the challenges and features in the month of February, you'll be rewarded above the free posting bonus with the chance to win a handwriting font service! :) See this post for more info on the GoGo Challenge (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28756)!

Woo hoo! Thanks Suz! :)

[emandlivsmom]

Well its about time! wink wink

you are really challenging me with this story telling piece. Ugh.

thinking. thinking. this could take awhile but I will come up with something!

[sammdc]

perfect Suz and love the font .......Now for a story hehehehehe

[BlushingGardens]

So we don't have to use pictures. Or use pics and tell a story about the pics?

[SuzanneCWalker]

You can do either..................... But the STORY is the point. So, perhaps a 2 page spread....... or story........ or one pic plus story, or bunch of pics and story........... STORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! :) You can sooooooooooooooooooooooo do this!!!

Are you trying to say you want us to write a STORY? LOL! :) :lol:

[LadyCarolyn]

OK folks, I have leapt in with both feet . . . . and maybe I am over my head here . . . but I need to understand what we are being challenged to do. Are we to take the layout that we did for last week and now add a story pertinent to the picture, or are we to create a whole new layout using the elements from Junky Lovin and include a story???? Do I sound confused . . . . I am . . . . what is the bonus for posting last week . . . where do we go?

[ilv2cruise]

Here's my layouts, I used the two page bonus from last week. We're going to go get Mommy page 1 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241216) and We're going to go get Mommy page 2 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241217)

[lg_schmisa]

I was wondering the same thing about this weeks challenge.

As for the bonus, I think you should of received a PM from Suzanne with the link. I did yesterday.

[LadyCarolyn]

To set the record straight . . . .the reason I did not receive the bonus yesterday was that I had not posted it in the right gallery . . . . how bad is that . . . . . and how was Suzanne supposed to know!!! Aside from being a newbie, I can always plead alzheimers, stupidity, or just over eagerness to get the item posted in time, as I had about half an hour to spare!!!!

Sorted out now, posted in the right gallery . . . . and working on this week's challenge, which trust me I am not deciding to enter at the last minute . . . .unlike Sunday.

Whew, all this layout posting is certainly keeping my fingers nimble!!!!!

LOL, a stooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yy!

LOLOL, better late than never...... Mondays are NUTS at the Walker house... School, preschool, bible study, work in 2nd graders class, etc etc etc - the busiest day of the week by FAR! I love Tuesdays - we stay in jammies most of the day (well, the boys and I, obviously - the girls might be embarrassed to be in theirs at school.....). I looooooove jammie days!

LOL, you're such a sweetie!! And really, to tell the truth, it's NOT always simple with me..... I tend to make things complicated no matter HOW hard I try to UN complicate things!! :)

This week, you can do a new layout. Focusing on journaling, and using the featured font (DSP Crash). Finish your layout before Sunday at midnight and you'll get a private message from me on Monday with the link to the freebie download (this week will be an alpha set that coordinates with the Junky Lovin' stuff. :) If you have questions, or if I miss you on the list, holler at me..... :) :) GREAT to see you - I'm sooooooo glad you dove right in!

[BlushingGardens]

Okay here it is, but before you read be aware that I bare my shame in this one. Don't judge me too harshly.

[lg_schmisa]

Thanks for the clarification:) I am still trying to find that perfect picture to journal about on my LO.
I LOVE the font and I can't wait to use it:)

[Betsyfru]

Suzanne,
I read through the posts and no one else mentioned this, but I think you have the dates wrong for this challenge. The 16th is Saturday, not Sunday, and that makes the 17th Sunday, so the challenge ends Sunday, the 17th at midnight, right? I know I'm going to need all the time I can get for the story...Journaling is not my strong suit!

OK, here's my L/O for Week 2: ICE! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241680).

Hi Suz
Just wanted to tell you I had no idea how FAVULOSO the overlay from Junky Lovin was until I plopped it on this hurry up valentine for SPAD http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241728

Thanks!!!

[emandlivsmom]

OK...thought of my story...now to find time to scrap it!

Here is my layout for this week. Again I did two layouts to carry on with my theme of scrapping one child per week. This week I have completed a photo layout and journalling layout on my youngest dd Sian. The journalling says it all.

Page 1: I'm an individual and I'm ok. This is my beautiful girl's motto in life...she won't let anyone tell her otherwise.

Page 2: FACTS: *BORN: mELB AUST
*7/8/92 - LEO
*PERSONALITY: FUN, WILD, JOYFUL, A LITTLE CRAZY, SPORTY & KIND.
*TALENTS: CREATIVE, PHOTOGRAPHER, CARING
*SIAN IS BOLD, DYNAMIC, NO-NONSENSE & EXCITABLE
*SHE IS THE MOST UNIQUE
& CRAZY GIRL I KNOW!

What can I say about this girl of mine?
She loves all sport, especially football and cricket.
SHE IS A BIT “BLONDE”SOMETIMES & IS HILARIOUSLY FUNNY. SHE IS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO WALKS INTO A ROOM AND TOTALLY LIGHTS IT UP WITH HER ESSENCE. SHE LOVES HER FRIENDS & WILL FIGHT FOR JUSTICE IN ALL SITUATIONS.
SIAN HAS HIGH MORALS, THOUGH WILL DROP A SWEAR WORD HERE AND THERE FOR SHOCK VALUE. NEVER STEP ON HERTOES...CAUSE SHE WILL ALWAYS STAND STRONG!
I LOVE & ADMIRE THIS GIRL OF MINE...SHE IS ONE AMAZING BEING!

I know that I have already done my two page spread for this challenge but.....Well......I was just to excited about these pictures not to scrap them.
In case anyone doesn't know....
A piebald is a rare happening. It is rather like an albino, just not complete. This Whitetail deer has more color variation as well. Very Beautiful.
So here they are.

OKay, Suz, I hope this is okay, but I just finished my Week 1 LO with the story behind the photo for this week. With all the sickness in my house this week I couldn't manage any more. If it doesn't qualify for the font drawing just let me know and I will be sure to do another before the end of the month.

Thanks!

woohoo cant wait too see what we are using for week 3

[sammdc]

yes Suq a quick question do we still qualify for the font as long as use the itme each week or do we have to use the item and follow your prompt like this week write a story or is it ok if we jsut use the font for some journaling?

[MarsOlson]

My journalling is just a little ritual I have with my grandson, David, that I don't want to forget when he gets too big for such things.

Welllllllllll, I would love for you to really tell a story...... :) I think YOU would be glad you did! :) But in practice, using the featured item is okay - as long as you use each week's featured item. :)
