Layout challenges - February LO

Thanks for sharing. I'm doing my first challenge also. I'm sure she'll pop up and tell you were to email it to. But we can only see it (as far as I can tell) if you post it here. Mine is done but my camera battery is dead -- wouldn't you know it! What a beautiful poem, love it!

Melissa in Seattle Pages in 2005 = 100

Also, I wanted to mention how wonderful it is that you incorporated THE locket. Brilliant.

Melissa, Although we all place the layouts in our own webshots, picturetrail, yahoo, personal webspace or whatever, M-C also posts the challenges on the RCS newsgroup website here

and they are viewable to anyone who visits the site. I am just not sure if you have to be a long-term member to participate or not but I am sure M-C will keep us right...LOL

Anyone can participate in the monthly challenges. You don't have to be = a long term member or anything, just jump right in and do the challenge! = :-) I'm glad you did the challenge Marilyn! Using the locket is a = brilliant idea, and adds an extra special touch to the layout. Thanks = for sharing!

Got the tissue box at the ready? I always knew there was a reason I kept the locket other than just my sentimental one. DH thought I was mad when I got out the jewellery cleaner to polish up my old locket but he is quickly gaining a feel for all the scrapbook layouts I am doing and is appreciative of each one...LOL

Hope he is as easy going when the other two albums, several fibre packs, 2 photo organisers and a crop & carry arrive tomorrow by courier and I am praying that my ebay purchases from the US will not arrive until next week, when he will be back to work.

Hi Marilyn,

I really like how your Feb. challenge page turned out and I think adding the locket to the page as an embellishment is a very special touch.

Thanks for the info Deb. I guess I will email the LO to M-C then.

This is me, popping up, LOL! Anyone can join and complete a monthly = challenge. You should email me a good quality jpg of your layout to = snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com I just received Marilun's layout which is awesome btw and how wonderful = that she incorporated something as precious as the locket she is wearing = in the picture!=20

I am a little under the weather and DH will have to go on to Alabama = without me tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that you are not feeling well M-C. Take care of yourself.

Wow Marilyn that LO is really nice. What a special touch to include the locket.

Can someone tell me if you have to be a regular/long term member to participate in the monthly layout challenges. I have done one for February but don't know if I should forward to M-C or not. You can see LO here and it will become part of my wedding scrapbook

Just out of interest, the heart embellishment used is actually the gold locket in the picture. It was a treasured first gift from BF, now DH of 36 years. The chain got broken but one of the children grabbing hold of it but I kept the locket and it still has the original old pictures inside.

Oh bummer! I'm sorry you're sick MC. But at least you didn't get it = from me! :-) Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Marilyn, I love your layout!! How sweet that you have that very heart for a charm! I also love the poem . Beautiful and so appropiate. You ahve done a wonderful job. thank you for sharing wih us.

I enjoyed your layout and it was truly from the heart. The locket was a = great idea, I may want to scraplift it someday.

I was = annoyed at the time but I also realized it would make it more valuable = to me. Thanks for sharing your beautiful page!

Thanks Jacqui...it is those little *incidents* in life that end up = making the most treasured memories. I was so annoyed when the chain got = broke and intended to replace it.

Glad I kept it = now! It is a very simplistic layout and still not sure I totally like = it. I am doing a double layout for the wedding album at the moment, so I = will review it as time goes by....I think it is may be the white = background that is throwing me.
