Challenge #25 : Hope

January 2009 : Hope

Have you ever been depressed, downtrodden with all the news or personal struggles in your life? Fear not. Hope.

It's a brand new year, we can start anew. We can make things happen. Hope.

Scrap about hope. It could be about people that inspires you to hope for a better life, a better future.

Requirement :

In line with new year, use polka dot pattered paper as your base.

Deadline :

January 31, 2009 11:59PM

Happy New Year!

Did you miss us? We took a much deserved holiday this December to be with loved-ones and to do our last minute Christmas Shopping. Hehe. Life Happens.

Come 2009, it's a brand new year at Scrappers AT SG. And we would like to take scrapping into another level, as Benga said, "yung may puso". Our monthly challenges will be themed challenges and will probably require some material or so. What's important is to put your heart into the journal. After all, we would like to go back and remember not just the pictures.

Thank you for all your help this 2008. We have all been blessed.

Christmas in November

In the spirit of Christmas which we'll be celebrating in December due to some of us going back to the Philippines for the Holidays. The usual challenges will be put on hold, instead we'll have a Scrappin' Monito/Monita (aka Kris Kringle). Instead of giving gifts, we'll be giving layouts. *wink*

There will be 3 challenges. 2 of which will have a 2 week deadline. The last one is an on-the-spot creation like what we did during our Anniversary. The first challenge will be issued on Nov 2 and will end on November 15. The second challenge will start on November 16 and will finish on the 29th.

Let's have fun and unite in the spirit of Christmas!
