The mid-week challenge comes from our guest design team member, Rita Shimniok. (Check out the gorgeous layout below!) Remember, you have until the end of the month to complete the challenges, and each completed challenge gives you one entry into the monthly drawing for some great Paper Element products!
November is a month to reflect on our blessings and give thanksgiving. This week I would like to offer you an inspirational challenge. Simply use one of the quotes on the subject of gratitude offered below on a layout. The new “Hot Chocolate” line has wonderful warm colors for your fall photographs and Thanksgiving day pictures. And if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving where you are reading from - every day is a good day to count your blessings and scrap about it! Have fun with the challenge and be sure to share a link in your comment!
