Thanks for joining me for my very first monthly challenge. First, let me explain the regular format for this monthly challenge.

Each month, I will challenge you to do a two-page LO. I absolutely LOVE two-page LOs. They are so attractive when printed and double the amount of space you have for showing off your pictures, journaling, and scrapbooking skills. Each month, I'll give you a different task or assignment for completing your 2-page LO. It might be a sketch or a theme; I might even do a set of quickpages for you to use. You'll just have to stop by to see what sort of fun I have planned!

I hope to provide some sort of freebie each month - this will be optional, but can be used for your pages. If you complete the assignment, you will recieve a freebie bonus; this will be password protected and the p.w. will be sent to you by private message.

This month's challenge:

This month's challenge is.... Take a Trip Around the World! My challenge to you is to scrap vacation style pictures. These pictures can be somewhere you've been or somewhere you would like to go. If you want to do your LO of a place you've never been (or one that you don't have pictures) then you can go travelling on the WWW for some pictures. Just make sure they are marked as acceptable for sharing - and please add credit to the photographer! Here's a place you can start your travels:

I have provided a mini-kit for this month's challenge; use of this kit is optional:

If you are feeling stumped for LO ideas, please visit my gallery. I do most of my pages as two-page LOs, so you should find lots of ideas there!

I'm looking forward to seeing all the Two-Page LOs you create - it will be like taking a vacation around the world! Please post completed LOs here:

http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/560

Please upload your Two-Page LOs by the end of the day - June 12 - to receive this posting bonus. You should also add a reply within this "thread" with a link to one or both pages of your LO.

http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/local_links.php?catid=19&linkid=350

Only one challenge per freebie, meaning you cannot combine my challenge with another in one LO. The challenge rewards are password protected, so you must complete the challenge to be able to unzip the file. Have fun and make sure you make it your own!!

*** Please remember - this challenge is for a Two-Page Layout - so make sure to upload two pages that go together!!!! ***

I'm really enjoying all the LOs that you are all creating - but please remember....

this is the "Double Take" Challenge - the challenge is to create a Two-Page LO following the challenge guidelines.

I have to admit this was a hard challenge for me. It's great to have to stretch sometimes.

well.......this stinks *shrugs* I've not been on a vacation since I was like 8 years old and we've never been able to take the girls on a vacation. *sighs* Maybe I'll hack into my dad's computer and steal some of his germany pictures and do a layout for them when they lived over there. Might take some major thinking!
Thanks for a tough tough tough challenge Paula!! Oh and I LOVE that mini kit!

Up to this point, everyone should have received a PM with the PW for your bonus freebie. If you did a 2page LO and did not rec. a PM from me, please PM me with a link to your pages.

Thanks! I'm really enjoying seeing all the great LOs and I look forward to seeing more. :D

OK, I don't go far from home; I admit it. But, I was inspired by the DOUBLE page layouts just the same. It does seem so appropriate for many events and encourages more journaling. I made my daughter's awards ceremony into a 2-page layout.

Mine are 8x10's on 8.5x11" papers.

This was hard to do as when I think of India I think of vibrant reds and oranges. But the pic was in soft colours so I was torn.

What was good about doing this challenge (only my second ever 2 page lo) was that I discovered a 'cheats' way of doing the second page. I simply copied the first page and flipped it horizontally and changed the pics and journaling. So it only took about 20 mins to do the second page!
