Reminder- **Inspiration challenge**

just a little reminder to everyone...we also have a ongoing inspiration challenge. It will be a bi-weekly challenge based on your votes. (Thanks so much for voting!!!) The inspiration challenge will change every other Wednesday. They will always be based on a inspiration from something: an idea, a color, a sketch, a page of someone's, a product, or anything really.
The inspiration challenge for 6/13 -6/27 is to do a layout based on:

20 things......
any 20 things you want to tell us about, this is totally up to you. It can be about anything....
This was a challenge issued on Ali Edwards newsletter and I was inspired to create.
You can see a copy of the newletter here. http://www.lifeartmedia.com/newsletter20.html
She even has a place for you to post your layout.
A new inspiration challenge will be issued on 6/27/2007.
will there be a small prize for this challenge??? Maybe.....
When you finish your page, post it and let me know and I will try to feature them here...
Have fun!!!!
