It's time to get our SECOND APRIL Scrappin' Challenge MINI-VSBN Started!! Woot! Woot!
Our Theme -- ONE WORD!
This month we had a GREAT time sending each other a "WORD" to use for a scrap page. I saw some REALLY FUN pages from the words we shared. It's amazing how ONE WORD can conjure up different feelings, emotions and ideas for everyone so in our 2nd April miniVSBN, let's see what we come up with!
Our First Challenge -----
RECIPE
This word is for our "CHEESECAKE AFFICINADO"..... Anavon!
(We luv ya woman....no matter what state you live in!). So our first word for tonights challenge is
RECIPE. Let's come up with a page that either uses the word or lists ingredients. It can be a recipe for food or a recipe for ???? (fun, laughs, parties...). You name it! Use your imagination and create a page that gives us what it takes to create it!

Our Second Challenge -----
INITIATIVE
This word is for our recent "Digi Queen"..... Misti!
(Way to go for trying something new and different!) I don't know about you but I love it when I see my kids try something new! I'm a big proponent of Initiative and it's just great to see people try something new or get something done they've wanted to for awhile. So GRAB the sketch below (
Pencil Lines #81) and use some INITIATIVE & let's see what you come up with!

Our Third Challenge -----
FUN!
This word is for our own Sister in Germany..... Lanita!
(Won't she be surprised in the morning!) There's 2 reasons I picked this word for her, #1 because she sent it to me as my "April One Word" Challenge and #2 because she could use some FUN mojo from all of us. Her husband recently deployed to Iraq and we want to send her all the positive vibes we can to keep smilin'! So come on Sister Scrappers.....let's see what FUN looks like to you.

Our Fourth Challenge -----
HOT!
This word reminds me of our Scrappin' Sisters Mary Pat & Vil (who live in FL) and of course, "CK" Kristin who loves to "drop it like it's HOT"!! I'm always a little jealous of all of them. Our FL Gals who always seem to have fun outdoor (nice weather) things to do and CK who can get GREAT pages done faster than anyone I know!
HOT....what do you think of? Do you long for Summer or do you have some delicious picts we can check out, or been to any recent campfires .... what's your version of
HOT? Of course, what
HOTpage could be without the color red?

Our fifth challenge -----
FAMILY!
This word is for several of our Sisters ... especially Kirsten, Jodi, Shay! I chuckle over some of your posts about your kidlets...it's a memory for me as my boys are now teenagers. They grow up so quickly. There's a song out by one of the country singers entitled "You're gonna miss this". It's about those moments in life that you grouch about when you're going through it but someday you miss it. Our sister Donna just did a beautiful "FAMILY" page (I peeked at your blog) and I thought this was fitting. So for our Sister Donna, let's CASE her idea and use the word "FAMILY" in our title. For Jodi, let's get out those PUNCHES (yeah! you found yours) and add something "punched" to our page and for our guest Tess, I added a sketch (Sketches by Susy). Feel free to just use an idea from the sketch or use All of it!

BONUS --- Challenge for this Evening ----
EXCITEMENT!
OK, I just couldn't resist a BONUS Challenge tonight because I'm so
EXCITED for our Sister Cassie to be (possibly?) getting a NEW House!! Woohoo! That's such an exciting time! I'm pretty excitable....just ask my sons! I took them to the mall this week and had a blast picking out new clothes for them...yes, I was very excited. I kept telling them, "ok, I'll get this for you if I can take your picture in it...LOL!" Of course, I might be a little partial that my sons are cute? :rolleyes: So let's see your
EXCITEMENT! This challenge will also require a ONE WORD TITLE!

Our Sixth Challenge -----
EXPLORE!
It's a BEAUTIFUL day here in Ohio and it was a great day for a walk. My DS & I found a new park with a neat walking trail. We saw all sorts of wildlife, variety of trees and birds. It's time for you to
EXPLORE with your scrappin' pages. The challenge is for you to
Explore a new idea, new theme or maybe your page is about you, your DH or your children
Exploring something new in their lives? This challenge word reminds me of our Scrappin' sisters --- Sally, Tami & Jenn who are always pushing the possibilities for us by sharing their sketches. You'll find LOTS of inspiration from Sally
HERE. Also, if you check out our SBC Galleries, you'll find Tami & Jenn inspiration pages!

Our Seventh Challenge -----
LOVE
We spend hours putting our books together for those we
LOVE! It's so easy to think, sometimes harder to say. What does the word
"LOVE" make you think of? For some of us it will be a place, others of us people. Our word
LOVE is especially for our sisters Darcy (still a newlywed) and Gina who just spent the weekend teaching teenagers that "True
LOVE Waits". Some of us are 10 or 20 years + in our relationships and
LOVE has a whole new meaning. Let's see what it means to you! Of course, our
LOVE pages need some hearts!

Our Eighth Challenge -----
MOMENTS!
We all have them....lots of them. Those times in our lives when "time seems to stand still" or that special party or event that just goes so right and we know it's a time to remember. We also have sad, scary or confusing
MOMENTS. Scrap a page that shares with us a
MOMENT you had that meant something "different" to you somehow. This is for our sister Carol who has been inspiring us with beautiful layouts of her Mom & Dad's Anniversary
MOMENTS.

Our Ninth Challenge -----
DREAM
This one is for ALL of us! Friday night I got the opportunity to go hear Matthew Kelly, author of the book "Dream Manager". It was very good. He talked about how all of us have
DREAMS for ourselves and our children and many times we buy into our own negative self-talk and think we can't achieve them. We Know we can! When you look at your children or your DH, what do you
DREAM for them? When you look in the mirror, what do you
DREAM for yourself? Let's share pages about our
DREAMS! I added a 3rd Sketch for you if you'd like to use it. It's from
Pencil Lines #67

Our Tenth (& final) Challenge for this VSBN -----
WORDS!
We've had ALOT of fun taking a word and scrapping pages for what that word means to us. While our pictures are SO important in our books...so are our
WORDS. Peggy (MyFavoriteGrandma) came up with a GREAT Challenge on 04/18 for the Scrapbook Variety Challenge. It was called "No Pictures Please". It was challenge to do a page without pictures ... just use
WORDS. What a FUN Idea to finish our mini-VSBN with. Use your
WORDS!. Here's the
CHALLENGE THREAD.
