Wow, you ladies are creative! I love the different takes on scrapping yourself, from feet to "vintage" photos... LOVE IT!
Here's mine:
Not the best pic in the world, but DONE is better than PERFECT, don't you think? ;)
Now, for our winners (did you catch that? I said "winnerS," as in plural!):
Cheryl created a beautiful page about advice to her six-year-old self.
Etta left comments on virtually every layout I visited (and I missed her birthday so she deserves something special to know that I still love her).
And Anet, Julie, Christine, and Marty participated in their first 30-Minute Thursday!
Email me your snail mail addies, ladies. I have a stack of prizes waiting to go out!
Now, for next week:
Use...
-A sports photo (you may stretch the definition of "sports" as widely as you like)
-Something with a scalloped edge (you know I love my scallops)
-Some kind of sticker
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
I don't think I noted on my blog - but that was my first 30 minutes challenge --- loved the challenge. Not looking for a prize --- just wanted to thank you for running the challenges every week.
I hope to be able to complete the next challenge too ---
Have a great day!

I like that photo. I also like your "just me" running up the side of the page. You did a nice job on this page.
Kudos.

Such a cute layout Lain, and I love that sweet photo of you & hubby! Just condition yourself to always take the pic from above... those "double chin" shots are killers!!! Learned that one the HARD WAY! :D

I LOVE the buttons in the middle of the stamped circles on your layout! SO cute!
Thanks for the prize!! I will email you my addy right away!
I love the new challenge. I have the push to scrap some of the many soccer photos that we have been amassing!

Hey Lain--
I LOVE your page!!
And, YAY, I am so excited that I'm one of your winners! My email address is: cherylwrit@aol.com

Oh, boy, I'm such a dufus!!! (am i revealing my 80s self with that word?) I will email you my snail mail addy to you!
Posted by: Cheryl | April 03, 2008 at 05:57 PM
Great page Lain! I really like it. It just feels fun and free--like you :)
Congrats to all the winners and first timers! I did go look at all the pages, but as someone noted, those of us without Blogger accounts can't always comment. I saw so many greats though!
Cheryl--I'm so happy you said dufus! Definitely not a word that should disappear from the lexicon. Love it!
I did my page last night! http://canadacole.typepad.com/superfluous_fluff/2008/04/my-favourite-sp.html

I hope that a reversed scallop still qualifies :) Thanks for the challenge that inspired this page. I had lots of fun putting it together!

OK - so if you count blowing bubbles as a sport --- I posted my layout for the challenge to my blog at www.mom2nick.typepad.com. The post is called strawberries and a challenge.
Thanks again for the challenge.

This is a crummy photo, but I didn't get to it until the sun went down and I had to use flash. Thanks for the challenge, it was just what I needed to get scrapping!

Here's mine!!! I had so much fun doing this one!!! I even had 3 minutes and 45 seconds to spare--a record for me I think. You'll have to scroll down--I rambled a lot before I got to the actual photo.

I actually got this done a couple of days ago but this is the first chance I am having to post it. I was very happy with how fast this came together and with how it turned out.
