Scrap 4 Birthday Challenge
Whew!! This is one busy fun party!! Ready to continue the fun?
In honor of Catscrap turning 4, we will be doing a little challenge with the number 4. Now you can feel free to get creative with this. 4 example, you can scrap about a time frame (4 years), or people (4 family members) or even just use the number instead of the word “for”. Get as creative as you want!
The rules are simple:
1. The title of your page must have a large numerical 4 in it.
2. Use all Catscrap goodies (only cause it is for Catscrap Birthday ).
3. Must use 4 of any one element. (So for example I used 4 of the same tape strip.)
4. All pages must be posted to the “Scrap 4 Birthday Challenge” gallery and linked back to the challenge thread by Sunday August 22.
Winner gets a $10.00 GC.
