One of them is for the <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=1793\">&#8220;Past Matters&#8221;<\/a> challenge.  It&#8217;s a heritage challenge.  I have never scrapped a heritage photo before, but somehow I ended up hosting a heritage challenge!! HAHA  But &#8211; since Feb. is the month of love I thought it would be fun to scrap a love story of someone in your heritage.  I did my mother&#8217;s parents because I&#8217;ve ALWAYS loved this photo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/GaleandNorma_BLOG.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/GaleandNorma_BLOG.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scrapmatters.com\/gallery3\/showphoto.php\/photo\/24355\/ppuser\/4\">{credits here}<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; dig out an old photo and <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=1793\">play along<\/a>!  It was a really fun page to do and got me in that lovey spirit of Valentine&#8217;s Day.  Another girl had her mom write their love story and she included that journaling in her mother&#8217;s words on her page.  I thought that was such a NEAT idea!!<\/p>\n<p>The other challenge I&#8217;m hosting that started this week is the <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=1785\">new &#8220;Everyday Magic&#8221;<\/a> challenge.  This week we&#8217;re scrapping about our cars and transportation!  It gave me the motivation I needed to actually WASH my filthy car and take some photos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/MyJetta_BLOG.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/MyJetta_BLOG.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scrapmatters.com\/gallery3\/showphoto.php\/photo\/24260\/ppuser\/4\">{credits here}<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was thinking about making this one of the Everyday Magic challenge when I came across a photo of my parents leaning up against my dad&#8217;s old Chevelle back when they were dating.  I thought &#8211; how fun will it be to see our cars 20, 30, 40 years down the road!  So &#8211; come <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=1785\">play along<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>I scrapped this page for the DIS challenge last week.  The challenge was to scrap pics having something to do with Pooh or his friends.  These photos were the first thing I thought of!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3318\/3267975985_6238557cc5_o.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3318\/3267975985_6238557cc5_o.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scrapmatters.com\/gallery3\/showphoto.php\/photo\/24323\/ppuser\/4\">{credits here}<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>AND . . . one more page.  My friend Erica Zane came out with these cool new <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/shop\/product.php?productid=1372&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">&#8220;EZ Masks&#8221;<\/span><\/a> that I&#8217;m just lovin&#8217;.  I haven&#8217;t been one to use this kind of look in the past, but I love how my page turned out and I can&#8217;t wait to use them again.  Next time I&#8217;m going to try masking a paper to them!  I think that would look COOL!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/1stYear_BLOG.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/1stYear_BLOG.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scrapmatters.com\/gallery3\/showphoto.php\/photo\/24386\/ppuser\/4\"><span style=\"font-style:italic;\">{credits here}<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss the <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=1782\">Speed Scrap tomorrow night<\/a> (Thursday Feb. 12th) at 7:00 Mountain Time.  I&#8217;m planning on being there.  The ever-so-talented Melanie (melanie3boys) is hosting, so it is sure to be fun.<\/p>\n<p>I have had sort of a weird week (on the personal-side of things), so I haven&#8217;t done any movie reviews.  I know I said I&#8217;d do some, and I will.   But probably not right away.  I dunno &#8211; we&#8217;ll see . . <\/p>\n<p>The Amazing Race starts this Sunday and I&#8217;m sooooooo excited!  I LOVE the Amazing Race.  It&#8217;s probably my  favorite show.  I can&#8217;t wait!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Ok I have to toot my own horn a little bit &#8211; my &#8220;Little Miss Sunshine&#8221; layout I posted on Monday made it to the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallerystandouts.com\/view.php\/area\/1\/standouts\"> Gallery Standouts<\/a> blog AND won <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elementalscraps.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=19183\">Layout of the Day<\/a> at Elemental Scraps!  Isn&#8217;t that cool?  I don&#8217;t win those things very often, so I was jumping for joy when I found out!!!<\/p>\n<p>Ok &#8211; that&#8217;s it from me.
