Scrapbook Challenges Pit Stop #2

The fun has started!

Welcome to Scrapbook Challenges first ever DT Blog Hop!

If this is your first time here, I am Sookie aka as Salme in some forums. I am your second stop on the hop.

Do make sure you start from Pamela’s blog to follow the blog hop so that you do not miss out on any inspiration from her. Pamela's blog is oozing of inspiration, gorgeous layouts/cards and stories about her beautiful family! She has been published many times. And just recently, she made it to a manufacturer design team? Woohoo! I am so happy for her! She is very, very talented and I am so glad that I became part of this group she started in 2007!

Our group, Scrapbook Challenges, is in Myspace. Every week, Pamela issues an original sketch to challenge your creative side. Her sketches are awesome, versatile and over the time that I've been with the group, my creativity has grown leaps and bounds because of her sketches. Plus, aside from the sketches, the design team also issues challenges and tutorials every week. In short, Scrapbook Challenges is a one stop-shop.

It doesn't stop there. What's a challenge without a reward? Every month, if you make a layout from the sketch and participate in the DT issued challenges,your name will get to be in a drawing for an awesome prize! (Usually prizes are sponsored by our favorite manufacturers, kit clubs and more.)

Some random facts about me :

1. I was a junk food addict! I eat way too much chips (potato, corn, you name it!) that I decided to stop. I've been "sober" for almost 11 months now.
2. My youngest daughter and I look so much alike.
3. I don't like washing the dishes. I can do other household chores with gusto though.
4. I am terrified of cockcroaches that I scream even when I see a dead one.
5. My birthday is a day before my grandmother so I was named after her. Her name is Socorro which means help.

I will also be giving away a RAK. To be in the drawing, please leave a comment telling me which design team did Pamela recently joined. Plus if you want another chance on this rak below, please hop on to my sister's blog --->http://cjalmeda.blogspot.com (it's her birthday today and she's giving away some goodies too!) and give her some loving (please tell her I sent you). *wink*
