This is me…

October’s challenge is simply, “this is me.”  Sounds easy enough, but sometimes doing layouts or writing about ourselves is the hardest. We hope you’ll come play along with us!!

This month’s guest designer is the lovely and talented Marie.  She is a sweetheart and über creative, you can see her blog here.  Here’s a little more about her,” My name is Marie, I’m 27 years old and lives with my boyfriend for 10 years, in Denmark. We live in a small house in the country with a big garden and our dog, named Saga, and 4 ferrets.

I have been scrapbooking for 4 years, and enjoy everything creative. I scrap, make cards, crochet, make cute stuff for my house and do a lot of blog designs and my own webpages and blog. I also love orchids, which is a bit of a hobby to me, and of course thrifting.”
And here’s her This is Me layout-fab, right???

And here’s some of the Category Stories ladies;

Danielle

Lena

Steph

Sara

and unfortunately that is the last post with Sara.  Life as a busy mom calls and so we’ll miss her terribly!!!  All the best Sara!!!

With that said, Category Stories is doing a call out for a few new design team members.  We’re looking for fun, creative and committed people who will do the monthly layouts or projects.  If you’d be interested, please do this month’s “This is Me” so we can get to know you a little bit better, along with a link to your blog (if you have one, most of us scrapbookers do) and also load your LO in our Flickr group.  That goes for all the layouts actually, it’s so much easier keeping track of who’s playing along if everyone can upload their layouts there in our Flickr group-THANKS!!!

Now come play along with us!!!

September: an embarassing fact about me!

Hi Guys!!! Steph here, welcoming you to our September category.

The thing i love about scrapbooking is that you can document everything and anything, and thats the same with this challenge blog. For September, we’d like you to show us something embarassing, something odd about you. It can be anything you like.

Dare you bare all?

The prize this month is a $25 gift certificate for Kittyrobot, a fabulous etsy shop selling buttons and jewellery.

Here’s something embarassing about us….

danielle.

Lee.

‘O.K. Fine then. YES. I admit it. I secretly love reading all about Posh & Becks in the flash trash mags I buy. Shame on me, and YES, it is quite embarrassing!’

steph.

‘i know it’s gross, but i love cutting my husbands toenails’. in fact any toenails will do!

Sara.

Scary number, huh? Totally embarrassing…hoping to reduce it and share with a celebratory layout in the near future!😉

Dont forget to add your creations to our flickr pool.

Get creating!!
