Win an IMAX “Where the Wild Things Are” Prize Pack!

October 9, 2009 | In: Community, Scrapblog Challenge | By Rebecca

Hello Fellow Scrapbloggers!!

I’m so excited to tell you about our latest Scrapblog Challenge! If you haven’t already heard, the classic Maurice Sendak storybook, “Where the Wild Things Are”, will come to life in IMAX theaters across the country beginning October 16, 2009.

The film tells the story of Max, a rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are. Max lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions. The Wild Things desperately long for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. Max soon finds, though, that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his relationships there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought.

To celebrate the IMAX opening of “Where the Wild Things Are”, we challenge you to submit a story about your child’s (or your own) imaginary world using Scrapblog. Here are some ideas:

* Do you dream of running a kingdom of magical creatures?
* Maybe you have discovered a family of woodland fairies, we want to see it come to life!
* Have you flown on a rocket ship to meet Martians?
* Do dream of hitting a home run in the World Series?
* Perhaps you wish to dive to the depths of the oceans and discovered new species

There is no limit to your imagination, so let it run free! The lucky winner will be chosen at random from all the entries tagged WILDTHINGS09 and will receive the following prize package from our friends at IMAX. Your scrapblog must be created by midnight EST on October 16, 2009 to be entered into the drawing.

The Royal IMAX Package includes:

· 1 copy of Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

· 1 adult Where the Wild Things Are t-shirt

· 1 youth Where the Wild Things Are t-shirt

· 1 Where the Wild Things Are poster

· A family 4-pack of IMAX tickets

Challenge 21 - To Every Season

October 6, 2009 | In: Community, Inspiration, Scrapblog Challenge | By Rebecca

Hello Fellow Scrapbloggers!

For most of us living here in the US, the seasons are changing from summer to fall. Living in Miami doesn’t bring the beauty of the changing leaves, like other parts of the country, but the heat is definitely subsiding a bit making the days feel much more bearable. Our friends in Australia and New Zealand are heading into springtime. Both seasons are equally delightful in my opinion and it means being outside is a bit more enjoyable. Challenge 21 asks the question “What is Your Favorite Season.”

Many of you submitted entries and we definitely had fun reviewing all the entries. Here are the winners (we couldn’t pick just one!). Great work everyone!

Summertime by Scrapaholic Sherry - this is the Scrapblog staff pick. We loved the scrapbooky feel of her pages and since we live in year ’round summertime, Sherry is speaking our language.

Winter Snow Squirrels Bird by Ginnymo wins the technique award this time for her use of photos as backgrounds and embellishments.

Autumn Challenge 21 by Gravic wins the award for best journaling in this challenge. We loved the quotes framed in the beautiful pages.

Frozen in Time by Bubblee wins the Community loved award. We loved her beautiful springtime images. So simple, yet amazing!

Congratulations to all of our winners! Don’t forget to enter Challenge 22 - Tell Your Favorite Love Story! Tag your scrapblog Challenge22 to enter!

Cheers!

Who’s Your Favorite Celebrity?

September 24, 2009 | In: Community, Scrapblog Challenge | By Rebecca

Hello Fellow Scrapbloggers!

The Community Challenge 20 was all about showing your love for your favorite celebrity. With over 90 entries for this challenge, it would be a crime to only choose one winner; so we chose four!

#1 Technique winner - Roseanne-x and her fan scrapblog for Lady Gaga. Check out page 2 (love the black and white photos with color borders) and page 4 (the typography is genius). The pages are inspiring and truly embody the Lady Gaga experience. Great job!

Most Votes from the community - J.Luck’s I Adore Meryl Streep is created in the traditional scrapbook style. We love the detail and the little bits of trivia found in the pages. Jessica deserves the highest accolades! Very good work!

Most Loved - A Tribute to Farrah by Scrapoholic Sherry. A fitting tribute to an onscreen “Angel.” The beautiful poetry is surrounded by lovely photos and angelic elements to create the warmest of fan pages. Great job Sherry “I love it!”

Most Views - Fantasia by Little_M. What a tribute! Little_M doesn’t disappoint with her beautiful and creative scrapblog featuring her favorite celebs. Can you make me a page using that color palette? We love the subtle photos among the bright elements and backgrounds. It just makes us feel happy!

Congratulations to all of our winners and don’t forget to Vote for Challenge21.

Cheers!
Rebecca
