60 Page Club

Remember the 60 Page Club?

Each month you complete 5 (or more) pages (including pictures and journaling). At the end of the year you will have completed 60 pages!

Well, we’re going to do it again and what a perfect time to start – JANUARY 1, 2010 — THIS IS ONE RESOLUTION THAT MIGHT WORK and IT’s FREE!

If you would like to join the club please e-mail scrappix@scrapbookparade.ca and we will add you to the list.

At the end of each month please come into the store and mark the number of pages you completed on the score sheets posted in the workshop.  Even if you only get 1 or 2 done come and mark it down anyways.  Each month all participants that have 5 or more pages listed will be entered in a draw to win a prize.

We will have a HALF-WAY Party and a YEAR-END Party too!  Come and join the FUN!!!

Highlights from our last 60 Page Club were:

Our 61 participants finished off doing 4,961 pages for the year!

First Place went to Marg Levasseur for 314 Pages
Second Place went to Mariann Bjaanes for 232 Pages
Third Place went to Sue Smith for 225 Pages

And hats off to Jacquelin Green (teacher) for doing 416 pages! That is more than one a day!!!

Challenge #3- Double Trouble

Hi everyone,

Due to this lovely Christmas-y weather we are having, a number of people couldn’t get to the store to deliver their entries ( actually the store was CLOSED yesterday due to weather – but we are OPEN TODAY!)  so we have extended the deadline for challenge #2 to Sunday January 4th.  That will also be the deadline for this next challenge – Double Trouble!

This week I want to see a double layout in 8 1/2 x 11 or 12 x 12 size.  It can be any theme, any style, but it must have a TITLE and JOURNALING! 

A date  and a name is not journaling!!! It must have real journaling, where you tell the story and we are interested in hearing more!!  If you need help look HERE for some great suggestions to improve your journaling! 

 You have two weeks, and lots of photo ops between now and then, so let’s get busy!!!

Happy Snow Day everyone – keep checking back for some wintery Christmas inspiration from the gang at Scrapbook Parade!
