Spooktacular Challenge Winners!

November 21, 2007 | In: Scrapblog Challenge | By Alex

Well hasn’t the week rushed by, with the rush up to the holidays and the news about Ugly Betty and all! But the week’s not over and Rebecca, Stefy and I wanted to announce the “best-of” Halloween Spooktacular Challenge scrapblogs!. The finalists we chose from are here, here and here.

There were so many outstanding scrapblogs! Judging from the comments and reactions, Ninamor’s Red Devil scrapblog took the cake!

Ninamor says: “Here you have a celebration that we in Norway don’t do so”big” as you. When I was a child, I never knew about Halloween. It was just something we saw in movies. But now, our children know about it. And they do go “trick and treating”.”

We liked the creativeness and imagination Ninamor expressed in her scrapblog.

The other scrapblogs were brilliant as well, and sthilari’s, Lis311’s, little_m’s and PPichardo’s have a well deserved honorable mention! There are so many new techniques in these scrapblogs and it’s nice to see how unique and original each one is.

We had great fun with the Spooktacular challenge and we learned a lot from seeing how you told you Halloween stories.

But this was the first one and I’m wondering, how can we make the next challenge better?

A Word of Thanks

November 21, 2007 | In: Community | By Alex

The year has flown by and we wanted to take this Thanksgiving holiday to thank you for the time you’ve spent with us. We love the wonderful scrapblogs you’ve created. We’ve learned so much from you, from your comments, feedback and ideas. We’ve met great people and have made some good friends along the way. Most of all, we’re amazed by your creativity and passion. We’re so often moved to smile and sometimes to compassionate tears when we see your scrapblogs. For all these experiences and friendships and for the kindness you’ve shown, we would like to thank you. You’re awesome!

To help you share your Thanksgiving stories, we’ve created two new themes:

Thanksgiving Harvest: An evening spent with family, friends and a bountiful cornucopia of delicious delights!

Happy Thanksgiving: Rolling hills, autumn leaves and a scrumptious turkey feast!

May you have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving,
-The Scrapblog Team
