I am so excited to be bringing you this week’s Hodge Podge and it’s great to be back! Angela here, ready to challenge you in a big way. Are you ready?!?!
Scrap YOU! I’m not talking an all about me page (however, no one is gonna stop you if that’s what you want to do). I think we are all guilty of staying behind the camera far more than we should. Hey, I hate my photo taken as much as the next girl, but I think this is something we need to do more often. So, your challenge this week is to scrap a photo with you in it…and no, I don’t mean your shadow or your reflection!
You can say the challenge here might be to actually TAKE a photo with you in it, lol. And there is no excuse because I have put together a few examples to show you that there are ways to get that mug of yours in a photo:
This week one artist will win a $10.00 coupon to Two Sisters Designs’ store. Have fun and let’s see those gorgeous faces!

Much harder than I suspected. I don't inspire myself too much. Maybe I need a better mirror!

Ok...this was kind of fun. I wouldn't have usually scrapped this picture. My kids dominate my scrapping world. But here is my husband and I this past weekend in San Diego at the Orfila Vineyards.
