Scrapbook Challenges Blog Hop



Welcome to our latest installment of the Scrapbook Challenges Seasons of Change Blog Hop!  I hope you're enjoying your little trip through the interweb...you're probably joining me from Jowilna's blog, but if you've just stumbled upon me here (or have gotten lost along the way), you can find the beginning of the train at the SC Blog.


We have a new crop of Design Team members joining the hop this season, so let me re-introduce myself.  I'm Chanell, a resident digi-designer.  I'm proud mama to (almost) five babies (newest due in March) and a very spoiled dog, and wife to a high school statistics teacher and football coach.  I've been scrapping since 2009, and I just adore being on the DT here at Scrapbook Challenges.  I hope you're enjoying your time with us, too!


Brynn has given us a fantastic sketch to play with for this hop...and the second we turned it into a double-pager, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!


Even though it's snowing here in Michigan (in fact, my kids are all home from school today because of the weather!), this sketch was the ideal inspiration for a whole batch of our vacation pictures...from TWO summers ago!  Yeah, I've been procrastinating this one. 


There were just too many good pictures from the week, and I didn't want to do a dozen individual layouts.  So, this double-page sketch, with space for as many as 19(!) photos, let me put get all our memories down in one layout! You can click to see it larger...

Ahhh.  It feels soooo good to have that layout finally done!


OK, so, on to the important stuff...PRIZES!  These are really cool...


1.  The HOP ON PRIZE for completing a layout based on the hop sketch and posting it to the Hop On thread.


2.  The COMMENTING PRIZE for leaving love at each of the DT blogs.


3.  The NEW MEMBER PRIZE for one randomly chosen member who joins SC between 1/13 and 1/15.


Holy schmoly!  Have fun hoppin' around this weekend and I hope to see you around the site!


Your next stop on the Hop is with Lee-Ann.
