We all get the blues sometimes, and as Michelle reminds us in her challenge this week, it’s perfectly all right to scrap these moments. (You might be surprised at how it can actually make you feel better!) Here’s Michelle’s challenge: “Your layout should be about something that Gives You the Blues… a child’s boo-boo, maybe a rainy day…etc..”. Here’s something that will put a smile on your face though – there’s a free kit to scrap with, prizes for two winners, and a little something special just for participating!

July 2010 Monthly Designer Challenge
Attention all digi scrappers: you must check this out – the July Designer Challenge is brought to you by not one, not two, but THREE of our illustrious Scrapbook MAX! designers! The challenge is to celebrate the love of your country, whichever wonderful one it may be…and Diana Carmichael, Michelle McCoy, and Tina Sudweeks are supplying freebies to help!
Here’s the challenge from our three “partners-in-crop”:
1. Download Michelle’s, Tina’s and Diana’s freebies kits… we will each be posting them separately, so watch for them!
2. Use at least ONE item from EACH of our kits (that means 1 from Michelle, 1 from Tina and 1 from Diana), but of course use more if you want… and then…
3. Scrap a page about what you are PROUD of in the country where YOU live, OR, if you are in the USA, scrap a July 4th page!
4. Upload your pages to the Design Team Challenges gallery AND THEN copy/paste the image link in this thread for all of us to enjoy! (That’s the “linked image” code under your uploaded layout.)

Weekly Scrapbooking Challenge (June 21-28)
This week, “anything goes” – or, almost anything! From Michelle: “There are no rules with this one Except ONE – I want to see a frame in your layout. You could use it as a border around your page, around a photo…”. There are a couple of other teeny-tiny rules to make the challenge more fun…Prizes will be awarded to the two layouts that Michelle picks as most creative, and everyone gets a new Flair Button just for taking part.Get all the details about this week’s challenge here |
Weekly Scrapbooking Challenge (June 14-21)
Designer Michelle McCoy challenges you to explore your artistic side this week by making an art-themed layout using 5 different kits. Michelle says, “Remember, the theme is ART….Doesn’t have to be painting….Could be photography, a sunset…Whatever you consider a special art in your life…“. Participants get a special surprise from Michelle for taking part. Get all the details about this week’s challenge here |
June Freebies and Contests
Here’s what’s happening in June in the Scrapbook MAX! community – it’s hopping, as usual!
