Wednesday Sketch Challenge UPDATE!!!!

Okay - so you might have read on Facebook already....but for those of you that don't "do" facebook....i wanted to update ya'll on the new LOWDOWN on the Wednesday Sketch Challenge!!

Since so many of you have said that you LOVE the sketches and all that jazz, but you just can't make every single week....we wanted to make it a little easier on you (and us too!)....to be involved!!  We're going to start putting all the entires that are submitted into a "jar" each week.....then at the end of the MONTH we'll draw ONE winner from the MONTH!!  If you are doing the challenges WEEKLY this, obviously, will increase your chances of winning...yet at the same time (hopefully) entice SOME of you to participate once a MONTH, at least.....which was more than you MAY have already even considered attempting?!?! 

Sooooo, come on !!!  JOIN IN!!! You won't be SORRY!!!  PROMISE!!!

***now for those of you that are scratching your head and saying...."huh?!!  what IS the Wednesday Sketch Challenge?"....well,,,,,real quick, lemme tell ya!!!

Each wednesday we (really, it's just ME!!  I do it!!  Lets just be honest!) post a sketch for YOU!!  It's just a sketch that I've chosen...from several of my favorite sketch sites....sometimes it's one pagers - sometimes double pagers....i try and go back and forth!!  I also like to attach a "quote" or title idea, poem, statement...just something to peek your interest....use it...don't.....doesn't matter - either way - you now have a sketch and some WORDS to START somewhere!!!  

The whole idea behind the WSC, is to get YOU to scrapbook MORE OFTEN!!  So many times, we hear "i just don't have the time"  "i just don't know where to start"  "i'm not creative"  "all of my pages look alike".  So - i thought this might be a great way to SPARK some creativity and jump start some of you busy scrappers out there!!  PLUS - seeing everyone's "take" on the sketches reallllly is fun!!!

So - NO RULES....lift the sketch exactly as you see it - or don't use it at all!!  NO RULESS!!!!!  just scrapbookin'!!!  And Inspiring!!  And encouraging!!!  We'd love for you to JOIN US!!! : )   you can email your challenge entries to scrapfunattic@cox.net OR post them directly to our facebook page!!

BIG WEEK....biggER weekEND!!

Man oh MAN - where did SEPTEMBER GO!?!?!  However, there are LOADS of FAHHBULLOUUSS things goin' on in October - so BRING IT ON FALLL!!!!

Important REMINDER DATES are at the bottom of this post - so mark your calendars NOW!!!

FIRST Annual LOVE CHLOE Crop'n Roll "Backstage Pass~VIP" event!!!
We're SOOO excited (and nervous, anxious, giddy, passionate!) about this FRIDAY!!!!  We are helping to host the FIRST ANNUAL EVENT to raise money for a VERY VERY VERY worthy cause!!!! What better way to spend a friday/saturday in November, than cropping with your girlfriends in an intimate, plush hotel - all the while raising money for a fabulous charity.....?!?!  We've got some fahhhhbulous things lined up for the lucky THIRTY croppers that attend the event!!!  Yep - you read that right - 3-0!!  I meant it when I said "intimate"!!!  It's going to be great!!  You're going to have loads of cropping space.....some fabulous VIP treatment and you're going to feel WONDERFUL, knowing that you're helping a wonderful cause!!! 

The Love Chloe Foundation is looking to raise money to fund their "Monkey in my Chair" program!!!  You can read ALL about it by clicking HERE and checking out their website.....but the "gist" of  it is this...the "Monkey KIT"....is supplied FREE to families that have a child that has been diagnosed with cancer.  It's to be used as a "coping" tool...not only for the child with cancer, but it can also be used in the childs classroom while they are not able to be.  It can be used to help the childs classmates cope as well.  The monkey can be left in the chair - holding the childs place while gone - allowing the other children to have someTHING to look at (instead of an empty chair)....they can take the monkey back and forth to gym, lunch, music, art, etc.....they can take JUST the backpack.....leave notes in the backpack for the sick child to read.  It also has a disposable camera inside the backpack....a note book, and some other fun items that can be used to help all the kids "cope" with the illness.  

Sooooooo, take a look at their site.....and make the decision to help out!!!!  Be a part of something AMAZiNG!!!!  (from the beginning!!!).....how cool is it going to be to start something from the VERY FIRST EVENT...and look back 10 years from now and say "I was a part of something AMAZING!!!"
