Fabulous Friday Challenge - School Papers

Friday, August 26, 2011

September is just around the corner, and with that comes Back to School time. There are so many fun school items that can be used on different projects so we thought it would be a fun to challenge you to use some of these items! Your challenge this week is to use notebook paper, book pages, or ledger paper on your card, layout or project. Now, just because we are using school supplies, that doesn't meant that it has to be a "school" themed project! Anything goes, as you will see from our design team this week!










Before we tell you about this week's prize, we would like to introduce you to this week's guest designer.... Tracy!


Hi my name is Tracy, I have been scrapping for about 6 years.. I have 3 gorgeous kids aged 12,10 & 5 so I am never short of inspiration for my scrapbooking.. I also have a fantastic Hubby who I have been married to for 15 years..It took me a while to understand that nothing you do in scrapbooking is wrong and I used to stress that my layouts weren't right, now I just let loose and do what ever I think looks good and I am happy with. I love playing with new products but I really don't think I could live with out my paints, black pen or glimmer mist it always adds that little bit of extra sparkle that I love.. Being new to the blogging world is very exciting and a little bit nerve racking too as all the layouts and projects I would normally keep to myself are now out there for the whole world to see so I hope you enjoy seeing me project this week.. Happy scrapping ladies Tracy xx

Here is Tracy's project.....
