Photography Scavenger Hunt!

Calling all photographers (and those who want to be!) SSZ is having a blast with a fabulous fun photography scavenger hunt! The first word list is posted and it looks like so much fun! There are so many ways to interpret the items on the list!

Just to give you a taste...here are some of the pics that have been submitted so far...


Denise: A single flower...



Lorraine: Something colorful in the great outdoors...



Karen : fun shoes





The idea is to get creative in a different way...and to take really meaningful photos. I hope you can find a reason to scrap and/or journal about each and every photo you take while on this scavenger hunt!

Please visit the forum and show us all the people, places and things you've captured!

Thankful

Hi everyone! My name is Laura Petley and I'm one of the newest members of The Creative Team here at Scrap Shotz. Let's just say I'm pretty ecstatic and honored to be part of such an amazing group of ladies. This may sound a little dorky, but boy did I get excited the first time I saw my layouts on the slide show!

Just a little something about myself. I live in Calgary, Alberta with my family - my very supportive husband Dan, my 2 amazing kids Sam and Megan, and of course, our very spoiled pup Chutney. I absolutely love scrapbooking and feel so fortunate to have found this hobby. I even tend to get a little giddy when discussing it I'm sure! I've been scrapbooking for about 10 years and I'd have to say that over those years I've gone from scrapbooking to preserve family memories to scrapbooking for a creative outlet. Yes, the memories are still very important to me, but I truly love to just create and play. There are so many beautiful products out there and techniques to try, I honestly don't think I could ever get bored of this hobby.

As we all know Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It's a time of year to give thanks for all the wonderful blessings in our lives. I think as scrapbookers, we tend to do that continuously throughout the year. For myself, scrapbooking has made me stop to reflect on those little moments, to capture feelings in my layouts and to often journal from the heart. Something I don't do as often is let certain people know just how much they mean to me. I have plenty of layouts of my children and feel that if something should happen to me tomorrow, by reading through their scrapbooks, they would know how deeply I loved and cared for them. My husband on the other hand has very few pages dedicated to him. Do I love him any less? Of course not - he's my soul-mate and love of my life. I've decided this Thanksgiving I'm going to make my husband a mini-album and let him know how thankful I am. The inside pages are a little too sappy to share here and I'm sure my hubby would be utterly embarrassed if I did, but I hope I've inspired you to let that certain someone know just how grateful you are. Whoever it is, make a card, layout or album and share your feelings. If you have a chance, post them in the Scrap Shotz gallery - I'd love to see your creations too!
