New Housekeeping Rules

Our goal here at Challenge YOUrself is to get you to scrap about yourself and to include yourself in your layouts.  

That being said, I have decided that effective immediately, back linking will NOT be allowed.  Although we love that you are sharing your inspiring layouts with us, linking a layout that was created previously does not encourage you to presently get into your layouts.

That's the whole fun about Challenge YOUrself ;)
Thank You for your understanding.

Our CURRENT CHALLENGE is still on.  Hope you can play along!
  Create a layout about YOU AND THE MALE(S) in your life.  
This could be your father, grandfather, husband, son, a furry family pet. {yes... we love our pets too}.

Have a great weekend!

New DT Member: Introducing Lesley



Scrapping "me" has always been an issue for me since I started scrapping over 8 years ago when my friend Gillian showed me her layouts. 
Never mind the fact that I was always behind the camera, I didn't want to see myself on layouts, they always focused mostly on my daughter and sometimes on my husband and extended family.
This got me thinking - how was my daughter going to read my stories in the future... when I'm gone?
Scrap YOURself of course! 
Being part of the Design Team is so exciting and I really hope that I can inspire you over the coming months to scrap YOU and tell YOUR stories too!

You can see more of Lesley's wonderful creations HERE.
