EXTRA - EXTRA

Special Announcement ---

It's time to take this Elsie challenge and STEP IT UP a notch!!!

In addition to the weekly challenges, which will continue on schedule - here's a little something extra to keep your scrappin' fingers just a-movin'!!!

Do you want to earn an extra 50 points for your team??? If so, here's all you need to do:

Between NOW and the end of the challenge, which is DECEMBER 9th - create a mini album of some sort. Yup, that's it - how hard is it??? You have TWO FULL MONTHS!

There are no specific requirements other than it can't be previously made - has to be created after this announcement (honor system!). It has to be a mini paper scrapbook of some sort, but that's about it. Pictures are not necessary so it's a perfect opportunity to create a super cute Christmas gift. Other than photos and journaling, the album must be complete.

Once your mini album is complete, please take a few pictures (or scans) of it. Depending on it's size, you don't have to capture every single page. However, please give us enough to get a good idea of what you created - and of course, to inspire us!

Elsie's book features a few mini book projects. Though you are not "bound" to her themes or styles, you can see her examples in the book and use them as inspiration if you choose: Be Real (#10), Favorite Sayings (#13), Cute Tin (#21), and Inspiration Journal (#25).

Each participant is allowed to complete only one mini album for extra points. However, I encourage you to include Extra Credit challenges in your album as well. Please be sure your photos/scans show the techniques you completed.

Good luck, have fun and get creative!!!
