    Challenge #8 - Celebrate Reading

    Monday, April 14, 2008, 11:52 AM EST [challenges]

    This week is National Library Week, and to celebrate, we've made the theme for this weeks challenge: Celebrate Reading! The theme is broad, so get creative. I plan on making a page about my favorite author (you'll have to check back later this week to see who it is) and Kristin made a page about actually going TO the library with her niece and nephew this past weekend (see below).

    Whether it's magazines, newspapers, novels or scrapbooking idea books :) there are endless supplies of inspiration to be found! Here are some other ideas to get you thinking:

    *use the pages from an old book as your layout background

    *create a page about your "must reads" for this coming summer

    *Is there one book you read over and over? Journal about it!

    *turn an old, unwanted book into a mini album by painting over the text and adding your own pictures and embellishments

    *Are you in a book club? Make a page about your group and all the books you've read so far

    Want some more layout inspiration? Check out the hybrid page Memory Makers Magazine editor Katie Hilbert made here. Share your own project with us in our Challenge Gallery, then head over to the American Library Association website for details on events, contests, and other fun facts about National Library Week.

    Happy Crafting,

    Eileen

    What a great idea! All of my scrapbooking has been about my kids...imagine that! :)
    I am excited to do a page about my favorite book. I just happened to have won a contest this week by the author of my favorite book and will be receiving an autographed copy of it! This will make a great scrapbook page.
