Create a layout about one of you family's holiday traditions
Recently the wonderful woman that ran my favorite challenge at Club CK had to step down for a time in order to deal with some personal issues. I have done the Issue Challenge every week, without fail, since I joined the club. It is such a great idea that has us pouring over our magazines, looking for new ideas and techniques. A group of us felt that it was an good enough idea, that we wanted to continue it in her absence. We brainstormed challenge ideas and picked 8 randomly. It is hard to choose! Then we assigned the weeks amongst us and got to work. I had the first week and had already the idea to do this layout, so it worked perfectly.
I did my layout on something that was once an irritation, but has become a fun tradition. Every Christmas I would try to get a nice photo of my kids in front of Grandma's tree and they would do photo bomb after photo bomb! Finally, I would get a nice photo. Then I started looking forward to what goofy faces and poses they would come up with and thus was born a tradition. In fact last year they went right to the nice pose to throw me off and I made them "do it right"
The layout
Hilarious! I LOVE the story behind it! And you're so smart- we get all those horrible pictures anyways, why not make it a fun tradition? And then maybe it would even be "fun" to take a nice picture haha!
