This weekend is the annual Scrapbook Capital retreat. While the members of the forum are away having fun and frivolity with some scrpabooking thrown in for good measure the remaining members of the forum that are unable to attend have been given some fun challenges to participate in.

There have been 5 different challenges set.

Challenge #1

Complete the Sketch Challenge for this month and upload it to the gallery - this needs to be done by Saturday night!!

Challenge #3

Create a LO, card or OTP using a product found in the shop - this might be some of the Kaiser Q1 or Q2 products, some chipboard, some bling - the choice is up to you and your stash!!

Challenge #4
