To kick you off - some thoughts to ponder and maybe to spark some ideas:

Someone you meet has their zipper down;
Something stuck in your teeth;
Somone literally got stuck in something;
Someone is wearing something ugly and they asked you how they looked;
Uncomfortable or difficult situations;
How to handle that situation;
Famous family story about how uncle albert was corned by a bear;
Youve eaten something really sticky;

This week up for grabs to one random lucky person is UN-DO Adhesive Remover (do you like the link to the challenge!) It should be able to rescue you from any scrapbooking sticky situations you may find yourself in! I swear by this stuff.


"Un-du is the scrapper’s solution to removing adhesive and sticky residue. Safely remove and reuse stickers, tape runner, and photo squares. Removes sticky residue from scissors and punches. Each bottle contains approximately 4 oz."


Dont forget anyone can play in these challenges and to submit your layout you simply need to create a link in the comments section of this posting or reply on our messageboard.


Have fun creating! Deadline, Saturday at Midnight!

Challenge #5: Fall Into me

This week's challenge is inspired by a country song by Emerson Drive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Nj3oYHmGE (that should take you to a youtube video of the song if you're not familiar with it...)

In honor of Fall, do a layout with the word "Fall" in the title (or some variation...falling, fell, etc.). Use your imagination. The word "fall" has so many connotations, it can be about literally falling (as in falling down, falling in love) or about the season Fall. Just get creative with it. Can't wait to see what you do with this!

Here is what our DT came up with:



Telah:


Nilsa:


Crystal:


Nancy:


Karry:

Georgina:

And, last but certainly not least...the Prize! Everyone who enters a layout this week will be entered into a drawing for this lovely Tim Holtz - 5 x 7 Tabbed Grungebook. It's brand new and is so flexible - it can be inked, painted or covered with paper. It is made from thick Grungeboard and includes six Grungeboard pages with thick Grungeboard covers and two binder rings. Pretty nifty if you ask me!

So, let's see those "fall" pages!
