RAKabration Blog Challenge

AngelaUK — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:25:12 +0000

Happy Birthday RAKScraps!

For our special party Blog challenge we are going to try and fill the RAKScraps Digital Scrapbooking Gallery with loads and loads of lovely comments. It would be great if every single layout added to the Gallery during RAKabration had at least one comment on it. Are we up to the challenge?

Here are some Gallery Tutorials to help you.

EVERYONE who leaves a comment in the RAKScraps Gallery durng the Party (between 8am Today and 8am Tuesday 18th Nov) will get this kit that I made. It co-ordinates with many other Participation Prizes being given out at RAKScraps during RAKabration.

There is going to be a Prize Draw too! When the party is over, I will choose a layout from the RAKabration4 area of the Gallery at random. I will then put the names of everyone who commented on that layout in a hat. One of my kiddies will pick the winner for a fantastic prize donated by one of our party sponsors.

Hi folks, my kiddies are back at school again now. Their new school is fantastic with loads of great new equipment, a smashing purpose built library, and an adventure playground. So I now have time time to scrap and do challenges again.

This blog challenge is going to be a bit different. It’s not starting today - it will start on Saturday 8pm EST. It’s RAKScrap’s birthday party time, so we have a special, 1 week long blog challenge for the party. So do pop back on Tuesday to see what’s in store.

See you later, Angela
