It's 30-Minute Thursday! It's a great chance to get those muscles warmed and stretched for a fast start off the block for the Get a L.O.A.D. of This Challenge starting January 1 (and no, registration is not open yet at Big Picture Scrapbooking. Hopefully in the next few days!).
You should recognize these photos. Aren't they cute? :) I had to use them again, since my Christmas cards are nowhere near completed. Maybe I can just direct everyone to this page.
This page was done with goodies from the ZingBOOM kit I reviewed on the podcast the other day. I made a ton of teacher gifts (which I will post photos of later) as well as some cards, and I still have stuff leftover! For this page, I added my own cardstock, brads, and KI "softies" for the mint-green arrows.
Your challenge for next week -- use arrows on a page! Make your own or use pre-made ones. Just have an arrow in there somewhere!
Winner from last week...
Kristi, email me your snail mail addy and I'll get some goodies in the mail to you. Maybe I'll even throw in a Christmas card. ;)
I LOVE challenges. I will definitely take part in this. When do you need our submissions by?

How do we post our challenge pages?? Thanks!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that page. And the photos are AWESOME! I might have to steal that idea. Don't know that I will get to this challenge, much as I would LOVE to do it.
I have sent you SEVERAL emails, but I still don't think they are getting through. Have you received any of them from me in the past few days?? My husband received one from me at 8:59 this morning that I sent yesterday at noon. I loathe my email service. Sorry for the long comment but apparently this is the only way I can communicate with you.

Finally got around to doing this and not just one, but THREE 20 minute LOs! Woo Hoo for me! ONly one has an arrow, but I still made 3 LOs! It has been so long since I made something for me that I took the time that Ellie was asleep and ran with it. You can view them here:

I'm going to do this one, I swear. Right after I finish making 3 - I mean 6 of your countdown projects and write out all my Christmas cards. Then I'll do alayout with arrows. Then I'll do the 2 gift albums I have to finish. Hmmm, maybe I'll stick some arrows into those....

I missed the last couple of weeks and I really want to play!
Maybe if I don't wrap any gifts? Less mess that way?
Just kidding. I'm going to make some time, really!

Thanks for the challenge. It's the only thing that got me scrapping some "regular" pages instead of working on Christmas!

Hey Lain,
You can view my take on using arrows at my blog at www.mom2nick.typepad.com. The post is called "two challenges."
Thanks again for the challenge.

Thanks for the fun challenge. It was relaxing to scrap a little bit. I did two layouts. The first is with some sticker arrows:
http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/81613/view/1186659/-1/0/1.html
And the second has a more subtle arrow in the pattern paper. It's 8 x 8, though, so 30 minutes wasn't to much of an issue!
