Christmas challenge …
At our crop last weekend, I shared a lovely layout created by a talented lady in my team (Rina Maxwell-Hesp). But – it was just a one page layout – so the challenge laid down to everyone, was to created a page to face it. Everyone that did, went in the draw to win. Penny O and Sharon Z were our two winners (congratulations ladies). Unfortunately Sharon had already left before I remembered to get my camera out, but here’s a photo of Penny’s creation – didn’t she do a GREAT job.

Now to make you all a little bit jelly – Penny’s Christmas photos are all up to date, so this page has been created ready to go for her 2015 Christmas photos!!! (I know, I think she was gloating just a wee bit when she shared this with us all 🙂 LOL) Seriously, Penny is a force in her albums – she has always committed to getting them done, and before you think she must have it easy – she does have 4 children, and she works (outside the home) so her life is BUSY. But, what I think is actually a really good thing to do with Christmas, is to create a layout or two before Christmas, ready for the photos. Then on Christmas Day, you’ll have the layout in mind as you take your photos – it really does make it easier – and just imagine a week after Christmas, having those pages done and ready to share! How about you take up the challenge?! (And watch this space for White Pines speed scrapbooking to help you do just that!).
