Introduction: Lynn L.


Hi my name is Lynn and I am so happy to have you join me and my fabulous Design Team here at Challenge YOUrself. Most people scrap about everyone else and forget to leave a little bit of themselves in their layouts.  It's time to leave your mark!  I've had this idea for a challenge blog for a long time and thanks to some encouragement from a good friend ;)  I decided to give it a try.  

I live in a small town in Northern Ontario Canada with my patient and dear husband, two busy daughters, two spoiled Siamese cats and one lucky turtle.  I was intrigued by scrapbooking about 10+ years ago when I seen Making Memories on the Shopping Channel.  I knew right then that scrapbooking was something I had to have in my life!  I have always been an artsy crafty person.  My hobby has grown dramatically in the last few years since I have been blogging.  I have a very busy lifestyle and scrapbooking is my getaway and my down time.  It's my therapy that keeps me going ;)
I am so happy that YOU can share this journey with me.
 

You can see my creations on my blog HERE.

♥ Please come back tomorrow for our first challenge reveal ♥

DT Introduction: Tracy


 
Hello, I'm Tracy!  I'm from NW Indiana and I live a blessed life with a
great guy!  Together we've created and raised a loving/happy blended family of four.  I started scrapbooking in 2003, by taking a local class, just out of curiosity, and I've been addicted ever since.  In the last few years I
have been able to spend more time creating and its starting to become more of a lifestyle instead of a hobby.  Its hard to pinpoint my "style" since I am all over the place.  I love to try new techniques, but I do like a clean
look.  My weaknesses right now are the wooden accents, I just love them and you will probably see some type of wooden accent on my layouts.  And another are alphas, I've got TONS of alphas!  You can never have enough of them,  right?!
