Welcome to September challenge! It’s time to look back and document some memories from the past months or even the past years.
If you’re a first time participant, here’s what this challenge is about. Each month I’ll pick a word and you get to use, interpret that word on your page without the layout style limit. Scroll down to get this month’s word & start scrapping your page.
As usual scroll down to find out the winners of August challenge at the bottom of this post.
If you haven’t add my address to your contact list, please do so to avoid having my emails in your spam folder. It’s elif@sahindesigns.com
Need some new goodies for your page? I’ve discounted a few products for you. Shop select products 50% off throughout January here at my store. You can use your August participant discount code on these items as well.
Let’s start scrapping!
Word of the month
Use the word look back to guide you on picking/taking your photo, writing your journaling or use the actual word somewhere on your page as a title, word art, or on an embellishment.
Related words can be used instead of “look back”. For example; throwback, remember, recall, reminisce, remind, review, imagine, memory, then, etc.
When you share your layout in the galleries/social media, write the word you used for your layout in the description part.
How to participate
Make your layout using the word above. You can interpret the word, use related words to complete your layout. You may use the word to take your photo, write your journaling or actually use it somewhere on your page as a title, a word art or embellishment.
Your layout can be digital, hybrid or pocket page but it must be made using 75% current Sahin Designs products that are offered in the store at the Lilypad or at www.sahindesigns.com/shop.
Once you’ve made your page, post it to your favorite gallery, image sharing website or social media and give me a link below in the comments section. Post your layout link below in comments before September 30th, 2021 23:59 CST.
The winners of the September challenge will be announced here on the blog when the new challenge recipe is announced next month.
If your gallery or social media account is private, and I can’t see your layout, unfortunately you won’t be eligible to win a prize.
