-Create one-one page layout, one entry.
-Create two-one page layouts, two entries.
-Create a one-two page layout, two entries!

In addition to the regular prize of a new product pack, one lucky entrant will also win a coupon for 40% off one item!!! YAY!!

BLOG CHALLENGE!!!!!

Can you stand the suspense!?!?

This months challenge is about color...

Color can be just as inspirational as anything else!
It is definitely part of this art we call scrapbooking!
And combinations of colors can inspire us as well!

Have you ever been shopping, and what draws you to a sweater, let's say, is the combination of color? Transfer that to a scrapbook page!!

We see it all the time in paper... pink added to Christmas or winter lines of product, purple to Halloween... unexpected colors in spring. Colors undoubtedly make us FEEL something.

Again, transfer that to your layouts!

I pulled this months blog challenge color combination from this challenge blog called "Color Combos Galore". Each challenge presents a set of four color combination's!

sienna - chartreuse - straw - gray

So join along and try it out! I think this combo fits well into the season!
The girls at Scrapaganza would be HAPPY to help you out finding papers and embellish that work with this challenge!

Have your layouts either posted with a link here, emailed to scrapaganzaonline@gmail.com, or stop by the store and we can take a picture!!

Here is what our designers dreamed up!

Kelly
Alisa
Megan

KimRachelle
Penny
AND last months winner, winner, chicken dinner! (Corny, I know!)
Drawing names out of a hat, ROBIN SISEMORE!!!
You have won our prize drawing! (She is going to think it's rigged since she JUST mentioned she never wins!! ) Come on in to Scrapaganza to collect your prize!!
