Hello everyone! It's Tara here again this month to share Crate Paper's newest monthly challenge called: Crate Everyday. So, what is Crate Everyday? Well, simply stated, this challenge will focus on recording those everyday moments and making the ordinary a little more fun. Often times as scrapbookers I think we're almost expected to scrapbook all those big-exciting moments but what about all that time in between those birthdays, holidays and vacations? That's what Crate Everyday is all about!
Once a month a new prompt will be posted, just a simple word or an idea that will pertain to your everyday. You'll be free to interpret each prompt however you choose. Remember this challenge is about celebrating the everyday!
Once a month a new prompt will be posted, just a simple word or an idea that will pertain to your everyday. You'll be free to interpret each prompt however you choose. Remember this challenge is about celebrating the everyday!
For our very first prompt I've chosen the word:
Routine
Just a few guide-lines for the challenge before we start:
- You may submit a layout, mini album or project to be eligible. Projects need to be submitted by midnight (EST) August 30th. Please email your work to: [email protected]
- Projects must use at least 75% Crate Paper: you may mix any paper lines you like, old and new.
- You may submit a layout, mini album or project to be eligible. Projects need to be submitted by midnight (EST) August 30th. Please email your work to: [email protected]
- Projects must use at least 75% Crate Paper: you may mix any paper lines you like, old and new.
- The winner will be announced on August 31st and I'll share some of my favorite projects here on the blog.
-The winner of this challenge will be selected based on creativity and quality of work.
* and because this is the debut challenge, the WINNER of this challenge will be able to choose 2 Crate Collections!!*
When I think of routine, I automatically think of my to-do list and everything that I do throughout the day. I decided to create a mini album using Crate's Accent Cuts and instead of a to-do list, my little book lists 10 simple things I do everyday..... the favorite parts of daily routine!
I also created a layout for the challenge. In my home, it's an unwritten rule that mornings and I just do not go together. I decided to give my morning relationship, or lack of one rather, a page all to itself!
As scrapbookers we are story tellers, picture takers, memory recorders but above all: artists and everyday is a new story to be told!
Happy Creating! ~ Tara
