Scrapping to know YOU!

Today's post is kinda fun! I'm totally looking forward to the layouts that hopefully get created because of it! I think it's safe to say that as a scrapbooker we all value home and family and the importance of getting our "story" down in our books.... right? Why else would we spend the time and money to put so much of our creative energies into dreaming up works of art? But.... the question still remains.... will those who come after you REALLY get to know you through your hobby? (eh...hem.. obsession?) I'm pretty sure they won't question what was important to you.... that will be obvious with each page they turn. But are you creating enough pages and layouts that really tell and show who YOU are? What makes you smile? What are your favorite TV shows? What's your favorite color or guilty pleasure?


Here's a layout I created about the things I love and that make me smile. I used the new "Crazy Love" line by Bo Bunny. I think it's hard for some of us to scrapbook about ourselves but it's still very important. That's why I want to focus on scrapping to know YOU!

Soooo.... here's a BIG CHALLENGE for you. You have until Midnight on Sunday, November 28th to create and share your layout here with us. Scrap a page all about you. You can even combine this challenge with the sketch challenge that was just posted on Friday! But you HAVE to leave your layout on BOTH posts. Leave a comment here to be entered in the prize drawing ONCE. Create and share your layout with us and you will be entered in the drawing FIVE times! Woot!!!

Wanna see what's up for grabs??? This basket of goodies has a retail value of $95.00!!!! It has LOTS of Bo Bunny stamps, Noteworthy books, I Candy brads and stickers, rub-ons, the new Petals, some Bo Bunny tools, some of my handmade cards and even some fun things that are my FAVES! On my layout I mentioned that I love "date nights" with my hubby... so there is even a brand new "Date Night" DVD in there!


yeah.... I know... I reeeally want ya to play along with me! So hopefully this fun basket of goodies is motivation to get scrappin about yourself! Can't wait to see those layouts about YOU and maybe even get to know our readers a little better. Don't forget to leave a comment for your ONE chance to win but play along for FIVE!

  1. Wow what a great prize. You are right, I don't like scrapping about myself. I have a few layouts in my BOM album but there still isn't a photo of me in it.

  2. I have only completed one layout in my bom so far, but I have a project box filled with ideas for more. This prize would be a great inspiration and motivator.

  3. Hmmm, gonna need to think about this one! I've done a couple of layouts about me, but you are right - I don't do enough! I'm just as important as the rest of my family!!

  20. This is an awesome challenge. Too often, many of us are stuck behind the camera, or showing what others are doing :)

  21. Hmmm, guilty as charged. I never do layouts about me. I turned 40 in January and i said to myself i was going to do a tag style album about me and advice for my children etc....zero happening there and the years nearly over. Ooops

  24. Yup, I'm totally guilty of NOT scrapping about myself. I had every intention of doing a BOM, but I think I have maybe 3-4 pages in that album from the past 5 years or so. Thanks for the challenge! I'll see if I can do something by the deadline. Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  25. O, this is so great! I barely have time to write this comment because I have to go and make a lo about myself, I definitely have too! ;-)
    Great challenge! I could have combine it with the sketch from friday, but I finished a lo with that one already :-)
    See you later!

  38. Really makes me wince. Can't say that I want to do it, but then again, I did once gather together a bunch of photos of me as I was growing up. That was kinda fun. Maybe I'll did those out... Thanks for the nudge.

    ReplyDelete
  39. This is such an awesome challenge! I so believe that it is so important to scrap 'ourselves', and yet still feel challenged about doing that! To scrap a photo of me, not too bad, but to really journal much about ME...a whole different story!

    ReplyDelete
