Hi Chickies! Jan here, and I’m so excited (and a tad nervous) about hosting my first challenge here at TDC. I hope you all are enjoying all the great activities going on this weekend! I know we’ve had a blast planning them. I swear we have the most awesome staff and the greatest members!

As the title says, this is a photography challenge. I absolutely love photography and everything about it! I am by no means professional, I just have a passion for capturing anything and everything around me. And beyond that, I love creating layouts with my photographs that help to tell the story.

So here’s my challenge to you: Since we are all about “love” this month, I want you to photograph and scrap something you love. Ahhh but it can’t be that simple, can it? Hehe Specifically, I want you to think about “the little things”. We take lots of photos and scrap lots of pages of our kids, spouses, families, all those things and people we love, but sometimes it’s the little things that bring us the most joy. What I want you to do is just look around or think about your every day life, all the little things that go in to it and capture one of those things. It could be that first cup of morning coffee, a warm blanket on a cold winter day, a keepsake, any of “the little things” that you just love. It could be something sweet and sentimental or maybe something a tad quirky about you. Interpret it any way you want and then scrap a page with that photograph. No catch there, just anyway you want to do it.

I chose to photograph a charm and a model VW bus that my dad gave me, and here's my layout:

Using the beautiful new Boutique Collab - A Love Story (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/A-Love-Story.html)

Now it's your turn!! I can't wait to see all "the little things" :)

Here's the fine print for this weekend's special event challenges:



You must use at least 75% Digichick Goodies on your layout to qualify for points.

I am not generally fond of this style of LO, but I liked the one Jane did for the example so well I decided to try my hand at it.

This week we'll be getting rid of The Explorer. So sad. :( No one will appreciate her the way we do!

ohhh gorgeous pages!!!!! LOVE the VMW...in the village where we moved (north east Brasil) when Sarita was little, the vmws vans were the *bus* to bring you from the barge by the river to the top of the hill where the village is....now we even have an airport in main town and big buses/coach service, but I will always heart those vans :)
will go take my pic and come back with a page :)

It might be just a cream cake, but for me it's a cream cake I can eat without being incredibly ill! I eventually went gluten free several years ago (despite not be diagnosed by the doctor) and the change it has made to my health and well being is incredible.

Thanks for the challenge. I wanted to do this challenge all month, but I wasn't sure what to do. Then yesterday I got the inspiration from something unfortunate that happened. It's going to take me awhile to get over. But it's such a little thing...
