No Fear Factor Challenge

Remember I talked about the the snow we were supposed to be getting? Well, we got it! Officially we got 4" but I think it looks like more out my patio door.  Even though I grew up in the midwest I still don't care for snow so this does not please me at all!

Onto, the scrapbook page.  Over on the MyMemories blog there is a new challenge posted every Wednesday.  Sometimes I do it...sometimes not.  This week I did!  It is a No Fear Factor challenge.  Take the thing you are most afraid of in scrapbooking and do it.  Mine has been to make a photo the background paper of the page.  First, I couldn't remember how to do it and then I was afraid I'd not pick the right photo.  Well, I managed to get past both fears!  And it was so easy too!

When I first saw this photo that my mom took of Jon when he arrived in the states for his mid-tour leave I knew I wanted to do something special with it...this challenge seemed perfect for it.  In addition to the photo background I used another Page Builder...11, I think.  I adore how this turned out!  I will make this type of page, of this photo, again when I go to make Jon's Army album.  I think it will look great for that purpose too!

Alright, enough of my excitement...I hope you all have a great day!

Thought of the day:  Be nice to people.
