Gotta Be Me Scraplift Challenge - June, Week 1

[2BoysMom]

Right! It's that time of the month again! Gotta Be Me Scraplift Challenge time!

I hope you had a chance to see Kanga's (Sarah Senior's) interview on the front page -- if not, please go check it out.

Now, on to the challenges --

As I hinted towards the end of May, we will be changing up the weekly challenges this month -- just to make things a little more fun and interesting.

We'll still be scraplifting pages from Kanga's gallery, but each week we'll have a different "theme" -- here's what I mean.

Week 1 - this will be a "true" scraplift -- complete with a template for you to use!

Week 2 will be a color challenge based on a page and well, you'll have to wait a little bit for week 3 and 4's challenges. :)

So how about it ... let's get playing huh?!

Here is week 1:

Week 1: Theme - Template for a True Scraplift:
Based on Kanga's page titled Santa, Baby (http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/83767/ppuser/5874)

Lorraine (wagsmom) selected this page for our first Template Scraplift. It's in great! And, she's made a template to you to use if you choose. You can snag it here:

Please post your layouts in the Gotta Be Me Scraplift Gallery here:

And, post a thumbnail image in this thread so we all see it!

Oh and once again, a few of us have gotten together to make you a wonderful little bragbook album as a participation gift. This month, our wonderful designer Cherie Shields donated her Beautiful Soul kit for us to play with --- here are the results:

Each week that you complete that week's challenge will earn you that week's pages (2 per week)!

Have fun!!

That's a great layout to lift, I'm hoping to have a bash at this one :)

As soon as I saw the LO with three photos I knew I HAD to scrap pictures of my three Papillons; thanks for the template (check out "downloads-Props for Current Challenges" as the link doesn't work as of this posting). I'm the first to post - yeah!!

Sorry, link has been corrected.

[jojo99]

I don't seem to be getting notification of updated threads but I'm glad I checked in before I go to bed, I have the template now. Thanks!!
Should be fun to work with :)

The most striking part of the inspiration layout is those three stars, so that's all I picked to scraplift!

[jojo99]

Thanks for the great template, I was so inspired I created 2 layouts :)
One is true to the lift and the other not quite so true, here's the one I'm posting for the challenge:

Aw come on ... you gotta show us the other one too! :)

[kanga]

I'm really pleased you chose this LO - I love the photos of Katie and the star frame by Lynne really inspired the whole layout. Great job by everyone so far - off to go view the whole gallery :)

[jojo99]

Okay, okay :)
I've just put it in my gallery!

Hi, I'm new here. Is it too late to participate in Week 1?
Tina

Normally, the answer would be yes, it's too late, but since you're new to us and didn't know about the challenge before -- please ... go ahead and do the challenge. I would love to see your page!

And, WELCOME TINA!

[Westina]

Josie - Thanks for letting me catch up! I'll post a layout after work today.
Smiles,
Tina

[NancyP]

I'm new here too, and LOVE this template. I am away from home and can't scrapbook until I get home tomorrow evening. I want to do this template just for the fun and cause I really LOVE it. You gals did awesome with your layouts!!!

[2BoysMom]

Welcome Nancy and Please -- Go for it Nancy -- if anyone wants to catch up with week one's scraplift by the end of this week, I'll give you the Week 2 participation prizes! We just love participation!! :)

elo Josie
Thanks for sticking my pictures in their rightful home. I must have had a mental block - it's also called sieve syndrome!! :D :)

[2BoysMom]

I've never heard of sieve syndrome -- but now I know the name of my affliction! hehehe!

I'll be resending the week 1 prizes out in the next day or so to make sure everyone gets one for doing the challenge!

[Westina]

Thanks for the great layout and for letting me post late. Here's my rendition:

Hmm, my thumbnail doesn't show up. Guess I don't know how to insert it correctly.

Tina, you highlight the url in the "linked thumbnail" section ... about midway down the page after your layout is loaded.

[illinimom]

You all did some beautiful layouts for this challenge. I've been planning to do this one all month, but just never did. Well, it's late, but I'm posting it long with it's 'companion page'. It's just for fun!
