Whew, the month sure is flying by fast! I can hardly keep up! My husband and I went to Mexico on vacation for a week and when I got home I got the flu and now have a scratchy throat…what is up with that?!

 

I missed a couple of posts and here I am trying to catch up-there are lots of challenges to complete and get awesome goodies!! Go check them out in the forum.

 

The first challenge I am going to tell you about is the November Color Challenge, and the colors this month are from the PDW November Collab (which is FREE with any $10 purchase!) called Pumpkins and Scarecrows:

 

There are a TON of colors to choose from…and you only need a minimum of three! For completing the challenge you will receive a $3 GC to Jazzelle’s shoppe-you can check it out here.

 

These are the pages that have been already completed for the challenge:

We’d REALLY love to see your pages for the challenge too!

 

The next challenge I am going to highlight today is the White Space Challenge. This is a really cool challenge to use less on your pages…I always love the way these pages look! This is what Lexy has to say about her challenge:
‘I am SUPER excited about the path this challenge is taking us on and I hope you are as well! So many have asked how I do my “white space” layouts… it’s really simple and something you can absolutely do for yourself! It’s a matter of getting comfortable with less and really making your photos *pop!*


I was your typical clusterer. Yup, that’s a word in the scrap world LOL and when I began to work with a minimalistic designer, that’s when I learned how it’s done… really by accident and just playing with a LOT less!

I found this quote just this morning on “white space” and I hope it helps you understand it even more:


“White space is about letting what you have to show and say stand on its own. It’s about the drama of a good photo shining in all its glory. It’s about giving the eye a much needed rest. It’s about purity of intent. It’s a calm in the storm of visual life.” ~ Cathy Zielske’

You can check out her White Space gallery for inspiration, the pages there are simply amazing!

 

The challenge this month was to scraplift a white space page-a great twist to the challenge! Here are some pages from the challenge that have been posted in the forum:

Aren’t those just FABULOUS?! Lexy said that the participation bonus this month is a surprise…can’t wait to see what it is!

 

The next challenge I am going to share with you is the Journal Me This challenge…it is really inspiring! Claudette is giving you three different queues to choose from to create your page for the challenge-and you can use photos or not, that is up to you. Check them out:

 

Use at least one of these Queue’s to get you started, journal a memory, good or bad, or of anything you choose.

 

1. Some modern necessities I am thankful for include…(my laptop so I can keep track of all my friends all over the world that I have made through the years…)
2. One of the best memories of thanksgiving that I have is…(when my daddy was still alive and we all piled in the car to visit all the various parts of our family. Seems like we ate 6 meals on Thanksgiving day.)
3. The top ten things to be thankful for are…{have fun here with this list}

Ok, we are finally at the end (almost) of this long post…I just didn’t want you to miss any of these fabulous challenges and the bonuses for completing them!

 

The final challenge I am highlighting today is the Calendar Challenge…we have almost come to the end! Candy (Scraps of Candy) has provided us with a template each month this year to complete our 2012 calendars.
