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!

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.

Angie S. said...

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.

Jennifer aka Scrappin' Aggie said...

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!!

eudokia said...

Kathy Wade (krolski) said...

Jen said...

What an awesome prize! I love to scrap about me, but have the worst time with finding a picture I like! Thanks for the motivation :-)

Romy said...

Wow, what a great layout, Shanna! I love it that you scrapped yourself. Cause what is a scrapbook if you aren't scrapped in it yourself:)

Leah said...

I agree I have for years now been wanting to scrap about myself but just haven't...this might have just been enough to light a fire under my butt to create about me!Thanks for the great inspiration!

Janine Rachau said...

Awesome prize pack! I'm on to this challenge right away!! Thanks!

And, Shanna, your page is fabulous! Such a cute picture!!

Rochelle "RoSolow" Washington said...

This is so true...I rarely scrapbook myself, usually more my boys/family. However, I'm going to try to complete this challenge...thanks for the inspiration!

Frances said...

Cute, cute challenge and love your layout!!

Kathy said...

You are SO right about not ever scrapping ME! I only do it when forced (IE a challenge)!!!! I need to get out from behind the camera more! Thanks for the push, and what a great prize!

Jennybean said...

What a fabulous prize, I better get scrappin! Thanks for the inspiration to scrap something about me!

Tara Orr said...

Manhattan Mandie said...

WOW! What a great goodie basket! I think I'm gonna have to make a layout!

Kim said...

I seldom scrap things about myself. This is a great motivation to do so.

Librarybug said...

I started a "Me" album last year that only has a few layouts about me in it. This is great inspiration. Thanks for the giveaway!

Jen said...

I can't wait to get started on my page!

Heather (goldiecar) said...

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

karennarelle said...

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

KellyG said...

Love your layout, so cool! Great challenge!

Jean said...

Such a fantastic layout! This will be a real challenge for me! Off to think......

Cynthia B. said...

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!

Ingrid said...

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!
Hugs Ingrid

meredemaison said...

Looks like a super contest! I wonder if I'll get to scrapping about me in time to get the bonus entries...

Lisa said...

Very, very cool!! I would love to try this... Hopefully I'll find the time. Love your layout.

Melissa S. said...

Just love your layout. And what a great prize. I best get busy with this because who wouldn't love to win this and who doesn't love an excuse to use Bo Bunny.

Maria said...

Super cute layout! Thanks for the inspiration, I can't wait to do this!!!

Aprilm said...

What a great Idea! I have never thought about doing a layout about me! I'm always doing them about all of the people I love in my life and seem to forget about me!!!

alwayscharlie said...

It seems that no scrappers like to do layouts about themselves. But itdoes make it a good challenge! Loved the layout!

Julie said...

I LOVE the layout! My fav color is pink too so your layout just has me head over heals for it. And what a great prize. I better get started on this one so that I can get in for my 5x chance of winning it! Thanks!

China said...

Thanks for the inspiration...so cute your Lo. I´ll try to do it!

catnap said...

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.

Sassette said...

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!

Dana C said...

Thanks so much for the chance to win...Very nice...I don't like to scrap about myself.I don't know why..

Vana63 said...

Funny, Ive been thinking about this very thing...LO's about me, ggg...maybe its the holidays but maybe Ill actually get one done :-) Thanks for the challenge and Thanks for the chance to win!

Abby said...

Sweet prize!! Creating layouts about me is definitely a challenge, I've only done a small few.. but definitely worth the chance to win those goodies! Thanks! :)

Sandy said...

Great prize! Considering that Thanksgiving is coming, I'll try to give this some thought. I'd sure love to give it a try.
