A Bit about Rachael:
This year I am celebrating 10 years with the most wonderful man. Every day is the best day I've ever had. Both of us work full time but our schedules allow lots of time with each other and the family. Together we have an 11 year old son and a 13 year old daughter. We were blessed with children, who each day, make me feel like the best, the coolest, the most awesome mother on Earth. As a family we extremely enjoy spending weekends away in the city or camping with our scout group.
Since kindergarten Arts & Crafts was my favorite class. Junior high and high school brought along real art classes. After moving out on my own, I wanted to continue creative endeavors. I quickly found that adult crafts came with a big mess, a loss of the kitchen table, and an empty bank account. After several years of avoiding the local Michael's (even though it called to me to just come have a look) I tried paper scrapping. 3 layouts later and I remembered why I don't do crafty things and began looking online for clip art and patterns to save a little money. Then I came across digital scrapbooking. With some experience with PSP, I thought, "I can do this." Soon after my thinking changed to, "I can make that." 4 years later and here we are.
Several years ago my mother in law gave me a copy of Family Tree Maker. Never did I know that my history was so interesting. There was so much I never knew I didn't know. The more I learn the more I wonder how much more I don't know. After finding Heritage Scrap I've been obsessed with getting it all down into a gorgeous scrapbook. I keep getting distracted with the research part but I'm currently working on my first (of many) family history album.
I absolutely love creating digital scrapbook designs and I thank all of you for allowing me to share my passion with you. --Rachael Hudnall
~ Rachael's Specials ~
Rachael has put together specials for the entire month. Each week she will offer you great savings on her gorgeous shop. Her first up is a buy one kit, get another for 50% off. You don't need to enter a coupon code - just put the kits in the cart. For every one at full price, you will get an automatic discount on another. Easy Peasy Fun!
So there you go, start scrapping with Rachael's products and fill up her gallery! Use her products exclusively on your layouts and submit only new layouts made in August. Make as many layouts as you want using as many kits as you can. We will follow the same rules as last month except the prizes will be:
1st Place - using the most kits from Rachael's Heritage Scrap Shoppe - A prize of your choice from the Winner's Prize Gallery!!!
2nd Place - making the most layouts using Rachael's products - A prize of your choice from the Winner's Prize Gallery!!!
3rd Place - a totally random draw from all entries (one entry per layout) - A prize of your choice from the Winner's Prize Gallery!!!
OK, let's get those new layouts in to fill Rachael's gallery!! Save your spot here in this thread and keep editing your post, adding all the new information like you did last month. Post your layouts in the gallery and link back here to be eligible for the posting bonus and random drawing prize. It is important to link back here so that I know you have entered. I couldn't possibly find everyone's layouts in the galleries without a link! You have until midnight eastern time on August 31 to complete your entries. More than one layout is allowable and will count towards more entries in the drawing; however, there is only one posting bonus per participant per challenge.
Everyone participating in the challenge this month will receive a posting bonus of your choice from our new Posting Bonus gallery (It is still pretty bare but we will be adding more throughout the month!) All prizes and posting bonuses will be awarded on September 1.
Also keep in mind that everyone participating in all eight monthly challenges will become a member of the Heritage Honors Club and will receive a prize from the Club Prizes gallery and a special item to include in your signature line to show off the prestige of being a member of the Heritage Honors Club. It will be similar to the *Certified Heritage Hunter* insignia in my signature line. The eight monthly challenges are:
Designer of the Month
Journaling Challenge
Quote Challenge
Lyrical Challenge
Font Challenge
Heritage World of Holidays
Progressive Challenge
Art of Cooking Heritage Style
