SEPT "DAYS GONE BY" Challenge

[snowsmoon]

BRAND new challenge here at DSO this month, September 2009, entitled,

*DAYS GONE BY*!

Hosted by: Dawn Mills aka Snowsmoon's Design and Linda Walton aka Bon Scrapatit Designs.

The idea behind *DAYS GONE BY* is to get y'all scrapping your memories pre-children (before becoming "Mom" or "Dad") so that they will have an album or albums to look through that tell them the story of YOUR family heritage prior to their arrival! Pretty cool, eh? Uh, huh, we think so! WOOT!

Each month, we will challenge you to scrap a different part of YOUR history before having children and, for the most part, before you became adults!

BASIC GUIDELINES: SIMPLE, FUN and REWARDING in that upon your post in the DSO gallery set up specifically for this challenge with a link back here in each month's thread linking to your layout(s) in the gallery, you will receive a FREE mini-kit from either Dawn or myself (we will be alternating months) by way of the Private Messaging System (PM), as a REWARD for y'all having some FUN with us each month AND in preserving YOUR family heritage before motherhood or fatherhood! Either way, y'all benefit as you will be whittling away at your scrapping "to-do" list while also receiving some SPECIAL designs from Dawn and I to use for future challenges or whatever your hearts so desire!

In the creation of your "masterpieces", we ask that you use designs created by any of our FABULOUS DSO designers, whether it be items purchased from the store, "freebies" downloaded from DSO designer blogs OR "freebies" that are given out here at DSO! Please make sure to give credit to the designer/designers whose creations you use when posting your layout(s).

For our KICK-OFF this month, September 2009, will be asking you to scrap ONE important event that took place during your childhood, anywhere from your birth (or even while en utero!) to your 18th birthday. For example; your birth, the birth of a sibling, your "first" date, a special award or, perhaps, YOUR "first" trip away from home by yourself, just a few ideas to help get your creative juices flowing!

We hope that you will enjoy sharing your *DAYS GONE BY* with US, as well as YOUR children!

DEADLINE: September 30, 2009

[bobbysgirlforever]

WOOT! This is going to be SOOOOO much FUN girlfriend and will be challenging ME to scrap some of my childhood memories for my, now, ADULT children!

I don't have ANY photos of ANY special events in my childhood, SO, I think I will focus on journaling the memory of a special event and picking some papers and embellies to help reflect my feelings or to lend a little ambience to the special event I choose to scrap!

The FIRST posting bonus ROCKS sweetie and my FAVORITE color IS blue - WOO HOO! I LOVE IT!
