**This would be great to do for a child if you prefer! Document what they love about school or what school is like for them.
I love the diversity of the team's take on the challenge! Check it out and leave us a comment :)

Writing letters is one of the oldest forms of communication. This lesson is about using a letter as part of your project. Its a great way to put a new angle on your journaling and can encourage you to capture a story you might not have otherwise.
Your letter can be to someone real or imaginary. It can be serious or silly. The point is to record a memory!

Journaling reads: I have always wanted to know where you got the strength to pick up and carry on after you lost two children and your husband within-all within 10 years. Then by the time you were 46 you were a window for a second time. One thing that I have always been very fascinated with is your choice in clothes-even forty years later they have been replicated-they are timeless and classic. I love them! Although you are gone, you are still one who captures my attention every time there is something published about you. Sincerely, Carla

For little things, for big things.
For selfish things, for things for others.
For thing of great value and things of little value.
Some wishes could change our entire life, while others would be forgotten almost as soon as they are granted.
Think about the things you wish for and let that inspire you. You can create a page about a wish, a page about how you wish your life was like right now, or even just a page about what your wishes SAY about you.
Take a look at the great projects created by the team this week!

While I did my layout on just one object, I plan to create a mini later dedicated to my most cherished possessions, like my baby blanket, the dress I came home from the hospital in, etc. Check out the layouts from Mara and me :) Since I am in the process of expanding the DT I promise more samples for the next lesson!

Journaling reads:
This photo was taken in 1972 at my mom's baby shower. My dad is holding my very first bear. He has fur that's almost real and he used to growl when you moved him. Now bear is too fragile to cuddle with and only grunts if you shake him really hard. I still cherish him and the memories of his better days.

First I want to thank everyone that applied! I had more submissions than I could possibly use - which I was honored by and stressed by because choosing was hard! I will be looking to refresh the team in the spring and to possibly do some guest design team spots, so I hope you will all keep checking in!
The new team members are:
Aimee
Diana
Monica
and Carla!
They are joining the small but fabulous team already working hard on samples for each lesson! This all means MORE great examples to help inspire you to scrap about those memories that are meaningful to you!

K did an AMAZING mini album for Lesson 20 that I wanted to share. I am blown away by her creativity, fresh style, and the way she documents the little details of her life!

So I have double announcements tonight...
The blog is switching to new lessons every other week rather than every week. While I loved the idea of every week, I think it is more than most can handle :) In line with this, there will be no new lesson this week! But check back in on September 2nd for the next lesson!

So I love my little design team, but I ask a lot of them given how few of them there are! So I am looking to expand! I want to add at least 2 new members. I am sorry to say this a non-paying gig :) But it can be a great way to keep yourself challenged and good experience for other design teams!
I am looking for someone who:
Sound interesting? Just send me 2 examples of your work to jbree22@gmail.com along with the answers to the following info:
Submissions due by September 1st! I will send you an email to confirm team members on Wed Sept 2nd.
Thanks!

Mara and I combined her amazing paper stash with some embellies from my stash to create a BEAUTIFUL kit as the giveaway for August! In addition to plenty of paper, the kit includes a huge chipboard mini from Maya Road.
For each GM lesson (any of the lessons) that you create a new layout (or project) for and post a link back to the blog will get you a chance to win this kit! You have until Sept 1st - 2 weeks! So get scrapping and GET MEANINGFUL :)
