I’ve got a lot going on this week, and had I been on top of my game I would have had separate posts for each of these every day this week. But instead there’s one big Wednesday update.
First: Hodge Podge Art Challenges are BACK! And I was extremely flattered to be asked to join their cast of characters this time around. Especially once I found out that the new challenge series was going to include 48 weekly prompts that will lead each participant towards completing a full album with an “All About Me” theme. Although you can change the “Me” out to anything really. Some people are doing their whole family, some are doing music, some are doing their spouses. The world is your oyster. I’ve wanted to do an AAM album for a while because the boy is always totally intrigued when I share little tidbits about my past (like how our TVs didn’t have remote controls) but it’s pretty unnerving to come up with questions to ask myself. So I’m optimistic that this will help me achieve my goal, and I’d be over the moon if all of you would join in and do an album of your own. There are weekly gift certificates given away a winner chosen by the challenge poster – but I think the finished album is the end game, personally. Free stuff doesn’t hurt, though!
The prompts are going to alternate between letters of the alphabet (A-Z, duh!) and journaling prompts. So you can do two separate albums if that’s your bag, or pool the two together into a big compendium of information about your subject. This week we started with none other than the letter “A”, and here’s my page for the challenge:

All the participants of the Hodge Podge Art challenges can also post in the dedicated gallery at My Scrapbook Art so we can keep track of one another’s progress, find inspiration for our pages and generally hang out and go through the journey together.
Second:
Christine has set up shop at Little Dreamer Designs now! Her personal store is still open, but you can one-stop-shoppe her over at LDD now, too. It’s a totally thrilling move for her to a store that she loves, and I’m crazy happy for her. I did this page using one of her new templates this week, actually. I’ve had a productive scrapping week for a change!

Third: And this is the last one, I promise. A sneak peek of my product releases for this coming Friday at Cat Scrap. I had an idea rattling around in my head for a product I wanted to make, and it all centered around one little character I drew on a Saturday afternoon – and you can see him in the lower lefthand corner of my sneak peek below. I just fell in love with him, and wanted to do him justice and I hope that you’ll agree that I did. If you’re a newsletter subscriber you’ll receive an exclusive early link to my new releases in tomorrow’s newsletter. Otherwise they’ll be available in my store at Cat Scrap on Friday 2/5!
