Details for my ACOT article

Here are the product lists for the scrapbook pages used in my latest ACOT article.  They don't do it in the article, but here each page will open for viewing larger in a new window.

1_4 2_3
These layouts are both of fall family gatherings with my husband's family.  I'm kind of thinking about doing this same page each year now!  LOL.
-- The first, I used paper from Chatterbox, Inc, and letter stickers from S.E.I.
-- The second, I used Miss Mint's "Oopsie Doodle" kit, found at PeppermintCreative.com

3_3 4_2
It might seem odd that I made the EXACT same page in paper and digi.  Why would I do that?  Well, the girls in the picture belong to my best friend, and she just loved the page.  So now she can print out a copy of the digi page for herself!
-- The first page, I used KiMemories' "Organized" paper line, and KiMemories Tattoo rub-ons.  The alphabet rub-ons are American Crafts.
-- The second page, I used Shabby Princess' kit, "Silly Boy:::CuddleBUG," available at theShabbyShoppe.com.  The stars and hearts?  At this point, I can't remember.  Eeek!  LOL.  Oh, and the journaling?  That's the font made out of my hand-writing that September Myles made for me!

5_3 6_2
-- The first page is KiMemories paper, from a long time ago.  The letter stickers are Doodlebug cardstock stickers.

-- The first page is KiMemories paper, from a while ago.  The letter stickers are American crafts and Making Memories.

The second uses KiMemories Organization line, and American Crafts rub-ons.  I can't remember where I got the paw print sticker.  :)

CONTEST! Win a book!

BookcoverSometimes companies ask me if I want something for free, in exchange for reviewing it on my website. And the logical answer to "do you want something for free" is of course, yes.

You may have heard about this book, "Journal," either on my website or Scrapability's. (She also got a free copy for a review. She's cool that way.) I was given an extra copy for a give-away, but now that I've read the book and reviewed it, I decided that I don't need to hang on to my copy. I only have so much bookshelf space!

Here is my review of the book, which also links to Scrapability's review:
http://www.jenstrange.com/site/index...95&Item id=67

So I'm giving YOU a chance to get it, and to add some fun content to my website at the same time.

One book will go to the winner of the best "Why We Digi-Scrap" essay/article for inclusion on my site. That part of my website is here:
http://www.jenstrange.com/site/index...d=37&Itemid=96

The other will go to the best "Print It Project" article submitted. See that section here: http://www.jenstrange.com/site/index...d=38&Itemid=97

Just look around that part of the site to see what kind of stuff is already up -- I don't really have requirements like word count, subject, photos, etc. Pretty much whatever it takes to write something great and get your point across. We're all intelligent here, I trust you. LOL.

There will probably be some runners up, and those chosen to be put up on the website will get a gift certificate to a digital scrapbooking store. Obviously, anyone submitting agrees to have their content put on my website (and you even get a fun "Guest Author Bio" put up on the site!)

Just e-mail me your text, with photos attached if necessary, to jenstrange@gmail.com with an obvious subject line.

Hmm . . . deadline? Let's say Nov. 15th. That will give you guys time to receive the book in time to give it as a Christmas present if you want. Or you can wrap it up and put it under the tree for yourself! LOL.

(international girls, if you REALLY want to play and you win, you'll have to help me out with the extra postage to send the book. I will happily eat the cost of sending it to anyone in the US or Canada, but outside of that is pushing it.)
