12/30 Card Challenge Dec 30

Alright, Ladies, here we are only a couple days left of 2009. Can you believe it? Where does the time go? I remember when I was little, whenever we would pretend something was from the far off future we would say “in 2010″! That just sounded so far away, like we’d never see it in our lifetime, lol! And, don’t look now… but here it comes!
Now, I’ve never made a New Year’s Card before and I’ve never received one either… but we are gong to do just that. Let’s make a New Years Card to give a special friend wishing them the best the new year has to offer! What do you say? Are you game? Can you handle this challenge? Alright, then head on over to this forum to download your template! I Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

SPEED SCRAP FOR WEEKS 2 AND 3 COMBINED! Dec 17

HI! It’s Sharon, or as many of you know me, graciesgram. Time for another SPEED SCRAP!

OOPS! I was supposed to do a Speed Scrap for Week 2, but totally spaced it, which is a common occurrence for me these days. Since no one signed up for Week 3, I decided to go ahead and do it this week. I know many of you would like daytime crops, but it is just not possible for me to do that right now, but hopefully someone who is available during the day will sign up soon.

For this week I am going to do the Speed Scrap at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, December 19. I hope this earlier start will allow some more of you to participate. Let’s meet in the Chat Room at 8 p.m. and party!

I will give one instruction each 10 minutes for an hour. You will then have one hour and 15 minutes to complete and upload your layout to the Speed Scrap Gallery and to the Speed Scrap Forum. Be sure to link back to the Gallery and to provide credits for your products. Then go to the December Points Tracker and record your links so you can earn points toward product.

I hope to see lots of you in the Chat Room. If you have never done a Speed Scrap before, you are in for a real treat! See you Saturday, December 19 at 8 p.m.

Watch the SPEED SCRAP in the FORUM for any updates.
