THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO PLAYED ALONG WITH THE AUGUST CHALLENGE! THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
*I have inherited this challenge and I vowed to keep Susan's original rules and wishes in place. I did change the name just a bit.
Here is how this Challenge works:
Each day of the month has a "wacky holiday" attached to it. Some of the holidays are WACKY and wild...and a few even a little over the top...but ALL are actual holidays. Each month I will post the prompts for that month. Your challenge is to pick a day/holiday that I have added to the calendar and base your layout or card around that theme. There is also a theme for the month shown at the top and/or bottom of the calendar. If you choose the theme of the month, your name will be entered twice in the drawing for a winner.
THE RULES:
~Your layout must be NEW - can be paper or digital.
~Cards are allowed
~The holiday that you choose must be one that is featured on the calendar that I have provided.
~ Post your layout or card to this thread by The last day of the month at midnight, and please note which day you chose.
~You may post as many times as you want, but your name will only go in the drawing once
(unless you get at additional entry for using the monthly theme or OCCASIONAL twist.)
~If you use the theme of the month for the bonus entry, PLEASE put that into your post when you submit.
~To qualify for the bonus entry, I must be able to see the relevance of the layout to the theme.
~You may combine with one other monthly Challenge that allows it.
As I am offering a monetary reward to the winner, I want to make sure that all Cherries have the same opportunity to win, as many of you do not have as much time to scrap as others. (I am one of the ones without much scrappy time!)
This is the only way I know to make it fair for all participants. (Keeping Susan's original wishes/rules in place.)
One randomly chosen Cherry will be chosen for a $5 ACOT GC from me! If you have any questions, please let me know! Have fun! I can't wait to see which "WACKY" Holidays you all scrap about!
For September, I chose August 25th- BE LATE FOR SOMETHING DAY
This is a photo of my daughter and her boyfriend at before their Senior Prom. I took SOOOO MANY pictures during this photo shoot, I made them late getting to their dinner date with their friends! LOL Oh well! They still ate!
