Happy Holidays!

It's that time and we've got big plans for this little challenge site for 2008. In preparation for those changes, we're taking a little break until after Christmas.

However, Melissa just secured us a bunch of fabulous sponsors and we don't want anyone missing out on prizes. What fun are the holiday's with no gifts??

Instead of our normal schedule of lifting Famers, we are inviting all of you to link us to your holiday creations. We aren't limiting it to just scrapbook pages, either. Home decor, ornaments, paintings, art journals, Christmas cards, a picture of your front yard in all of it's Griswald glory is even okay with us! We figured that's what everyone wants to be creating in the next few weeks anyways, so why not win a prize for it?

We will stick to our regular schedule as far as prizes are concerned, so link your projects here by December 17 for a chance at our first prize from Scrap Addict!

Our projects:

Chrissy: not your average Advent Calendar. I didn't want a store bought one, so I turned 25 ordinary match boxes into advent ornaments.

Corey:Collaged ornaments or fancy tags! These are wood ornaments from Michaels. .25 cents I think. Just use your scrap paper and mod podge to collage. Add some glitter and ribbon and ta-da! Hang it on your tree or pesonalize it as a tag for a special gift.

Kim: A mini inspired by Ali Edwards! So much fun! I made the mini in advance (have the design and the painting and the numbers and journalling spots all ready) so all I have to do is enjoy my day, take pictures, pick the best one and journal for the day! Voila!

Melissa: Noel Wreath. I took a Target Dollar Spot wreath, some letters, and a length of fabric and made this wreath to adron my wall.

Melanie: I got the idea from Virginia's blog I bought calendars from the dollar spot at Target. My husband usually writes his overtime hours on the tiniest scraps of paper and then shoves them in his pocket. When I do the laundry I find myself clutching miscellaneous crumbled flakes of paper as I clean out the dryer and after I realize I didn't check his pockets! So I decided to alter a calendar for him to use. This project was a little trickier than I first thought it might be as I'd never created anything for him like this before and all the flowered pink embellishments weren't going to cut this time around! So I had to go with something plain and something he wouldn't be embarrassed to pull out around his co workers!

Jennifer's 15 Minutes

This week's famer: Jennifer Martinovici
Blog: Jennifer

Hi blogging world! I’m Jen. I love to be scrapbooking, taking pictures, travelling, reading, watching movies, listening to music, playing boggle and pinochle and being with my family. I am the oldest of six kids, married to Ryan (a teacher/principal), working as an Accountant (yes I’m a numbers geek) and living in Minnesota (don’tcha know). I started “officially” scrapbooking my senior year of college. My sister got married and I wanted to do something with the wedding pictures (I took plenty) other than slide them into an album sleeve, so Scrapbooking was a natural fit for me. For me Scrapbooking isn’t only about putting a story to a photo but it’s about sharing a part of my life with those around me and those to come. Also, being creative is a great way for me to use the other side of my brain and give the analytical side a rest.

Famer: Jamey Reed

Check out her work here: Jamey

My name if Jamey Reed. I am so excited and honored to get my fifteen
minutes of fame! I am a SAHM. I have been married to my best friend, David for 28 years. We have three children: Mary Kathryn (Capper) is 26. Whit is 24 and Jim is 21. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world....Guntersville, Alabama. I have lived here all of my life.

I bought my first scrapbook when I was in the sixth grade. I filled it
full of newspaper articles, pictures and "stuff". Back then, nobody
knew to use acid free products. I enjoy making mini albums and paper
projects, as well as layouts. My other hobby is photography. I would
like to take some photography classes and photoshop classes.

Blog: In the best world


Bio: Hi everyone! My name is Heather Prins and I am so excited to be this week’s “famer”!! I am a SAHM with 3 beautiful kids; Myles 15, Alexa 12 and Chloe 21months! This past weekend I celebrated my 17th wedding anniversary to my wonderful husband, Rob. I started scrap booking about 8 years ago and just love it. My style has evolved a lot this past year and I’m having so much fun with it! Besides scrapbooking, I like to run and rollerblade and I’ve recently gotten into photography! I also love meeting people via their blogs and have just started a Circle Journal with some new online friends! I love scrap challenges, I think Ali Edwards, Christine Middlecamp and Karla Dudley are “the bomb”, and one day I hope to be on a design team! Have fun with my layout, I can’t wait to see what you do with it!

Leah's 15 Minutes

Famer: Leah Wright

Blog: The Wright Track

Bio: Hi everyone! I’m Leah Wright, and I am so excited to have my 15
minutes of fame. I’m from Alabama, have lived here all my life and
can’t imagine living anywhere else. I’ve been married 8 years to John and
we have one daughter, Natalie, that just turned one this month. I
became a SAHM with the birth of my daughter.

I was introduced to scrapbooking about 3 years ago when I attended a
scrapbooking retreat with my best friend. At the time I had no supplies
and no real interest. So while everyone scrapbooked, I hung out on the
couch chatting with them and watching movies. I made my first scrapbook
supply purchase on that trip and began scrapping a few months later.
However, I discovered the online community of scrappers about one year
ago, and that truly started my obsession with the hobby. I love
challenge blogs like this one and get so much inspiration and motivation from
them.
When I’m not scrapbooking I enjoy reading, spending time outside,
Alabama football, and watching movies.

Cheryl's 15 Minutes

This week's famer: Cheryl Wray
Check out her blog here: Life With Cheryl

Let's see now...I'm supposed to share with all of you a little bit about me, my life, scrapbooking, and anything else relevant that Blogland might want to know. So, a few important facts about me . . .
1. I live in Alabama, with my husband Gary, my 15-year-old daughter McKenna, 11-year-old daughter Delaney, and 3-year-old daughter Sydney.
2. In "real life" I am a freelance writer who writes for newspapers and magazines.
3. I started scrapbooking in 2001 and once I started I just couldn't stop! I scrapbook about most of the "big" events in my life (trips, school, vacations, etc.) but also love to scrap the "little" moments (something silly Sydney says, my addiction to sports, an ode to a favorite song, etc.). I don't really have a certain "style," but kinda just go with the flow and see where it takes me. I'm also a fast scrapper and I love to journal on my pages. Rare is the page without a story told on it!
4. Other things I love? All sports and especially my beloved Alabama Crimson Tide; cozy mystery novels; travel; the "Heroes" television show; my church and my faith; any baked goods (especially birthday cakes); girlfriends; and family!

Edleen's 15 Minutes

Famer: Edleen Maryam

Blog: The Groovie Java

Hi Everyone! I'm Edleen from Sunny Singapore. Our tiny island on the map is quite known for our modern technology and great shopping malls and the best part, we are a Food Paradise! We are also up to date with the latest movies, some TV shows and Music {Yes!} I'm married to my loving husband Roney for 15 years. We have 4 wonderful kids and they are often my scrapbook subject. They totally Inspire Me.

Art was {and still is} my favourite subject in school and I love photography and I have lots and lots of photos and albums from back in the day! Most of my albums are "scrapbooked" with cut outs from wrapping papers, doodling and newspaper clippings. Back then, Acid Free wasn't to be found. And Internet was just being discovered! *wink* In November 2005, when I stumbled upon scrapbooking websites and then stepping into our LSS, I totally fell in love with it! This hobby is like a journey and I love the fact that we can "beautify" and create a story out of our treasured memories.

I am so honoured to be chosen as UnPubbed's Famer this time around and it's such a wonderful feeling and what an exciting experience!

*Waves* from Singapore!
