September Crate Everyday Challenge

Hello everyone! It's Tara here again this month to share with you another installment of the Crate Everyday Challenge! As you might remember from last month, Crate Everyday 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!}

This month's prompt is the word: home

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) September 28th. Please email your work to: cpblog@cratepaper.com

- 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 September 30th 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.

I loved this month's prompt and I had originally created something light-hearted for this challenge but decided at the very last minute to make a layout about what home really meant to me. I typed a thank you letter out on my trusty type-writer to my grandparents and used the letter as a base (and theme) for my layout.

I also made this small canvas by layering chipboard letters with the Random Collection Chipboard to create a little painted wall art called: Domain.

As scrapbookers we are story tellers, picture takers, memory recorders but above all: artists and everyday is a new story to be told! How are you going to tell yours this month?

Happy Creating! ~ Tara
