April 2011 Digital Scrapbook Blog Challenge
Holy cow! Is it April already?!? �REALLY?!?
Got a new challenge ready for you! �Thanks again to everyone who played last month’s digital scrapbook blog challenge… it was my most participants yet!
I saw this ad a few weeks back and immediately thought… oooooh WHAT A�GREAT AD FOR THE CHALLENGE!
Unfortunately I don’t have a template for you this time. So this time it’s going to be just an Ad Challenge this month and not a Template Challenge.
Rules are simple. Use the ad below as inspiration for a layout. Use whatever kit you want and scrap a layout. Come back and post a comment with a link to your layout on this blog post. Pick up the April participation bonus (preview below) for FREE! Easy. 🙂
If you’ve never played one of my monthly challenges before, you can find my official challenge rules here – > Jen’s Monthly Digital Scrapbook Blog Challenge Rules.
April’s participating bonus… my new Fresh Blossom kit – FREE for participants. 🙂 �I send out participation coupons twice a month – on April 15th and then again on April 30th. �Post your layout links at any time throughout the month. Come play!
Looks interesting, and the participations bonus looks gorgeous! I hope to be able to join in the fun this month. Btw, thanks for the fan download 🙂
Thanks so much Vera!
Jen, thanks for sharing your talent with us and inspiring us to scrap often.
Love your freebies too.
oh! Thank you Kathy! I need to scrap more myself… I even have pirate photos! No layout… LOL!
Here is my version. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27274241@N08/5586065406/. A loose take-off, but liked the five pics around the centre which I tried to use. Also 2 sizes of text. Thanks for the challenge!
Thanks so much for playing Emilie! The photo of the kids dancing in the bottom right corner is so cute!
This looks like so much fun, thanks, Jen! Looking forward to giving it a try.
Thanks for the fan freebie too – you rock! 🙂
It might be harder this month than last because I didn’t have time to put together a template to give out. I didn’t even do a layout myself… LOL! And you’re very welcome on the freebie. 🙂 Hope you play the challenge!
OK, I might have an addiction. I had an idea, and just had to scrap it out!
Here is what I came up with. This one was great, because I didn’t scrap an event or day, but pulled a bunch of pictures from different days on the boat. So fun. Thanks again! 😀
Oh that layout came out great Sharon! Photo #3 reminds me of a photo I have of my son jumping off the dock….a mid-air photo before hitting the lake. LOL! Thanks for playing again!
I have the craziest idea ever…now let me see if I can transfer it to paper/screen.
I love your layout in terms of designing a scrapbook. I have notice that the detailed perfectly showed and it is focuses a lot of time to make it right.Congrats jen you did a good job. I hope you have a lot of inspiration so that you can make more gorgeous and fashionable layout of scrapbook.
Thanks Lance.
I think it came out quite awesome!

Oh I love how you used Serenity for this, Mariana! Cute! Thanks for playing this month too. 🙂
Jen, thanks so much for the challenge! Your posting bonus is lovely! I made a layout using the circles for photos instead of journaling. You can find it here.

Thanks for the challenge, I am adding you to my reader so I can play along next month!
Sarah, beautiful layout! I love it! Thanks so much for playing my challenge this month. 🙂
Wanted to participate in your April challenge before the month is over. Yes, I am a procrastinator! Here is my FB link:
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/?set=a.1726217715133.2080606.1229123148&l=f0bf3b506f
Please let me know if it won’t work; I’ve never tried posting it like this.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for playing Cindy. I am unable to access that FB page though. 🙁 If you go to the photo in FB, there is a download link on the left side. Copy that URL and paste it here leaving off the end part that comes after the JPG (?dl=1). I should be able to see it then. The URL should have the domain (fbcdn.net) in it.
Here is Aprils layout….Hope you like it…. http://www5.snapfish.com/snapfish/slideshow/AlbumID=3428165027/PictureID=137638765027/a=2475755027_2475755027/otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/ Hope the link works….

Thank you very much for your fun challenge and the amazing bonus.
ooh! I like how you did the title with the ribbon flowing through word. Very cute idea. I also like the circle stitching on the main photo. Gives is an authentic feel. Thanks so much for playing Nela!
