Week #52 Weekly Challenge!

Welcome to Week #52's Weekly Challenge! My family returned home late last night from a delightful Christmas vacation with extended family in Colorado. We had a wonderful time catching up and laughing with beloved family members that we don't get to see nearly as often as we'd like. This year, all of my husband's four siblings and their growing families were all assembled together for Christmas - and there are 30 of us! We could hardly find a room large enough to hold us all for our family gift exchange. Needless to say, we took lots of GROUP PHOTOS, so that will be the focus of this week's challenge.

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Create a layout that includes at least (1) GROUP PHOTO in some form and upload your layout to the WEEK #52 CHALLENGE FOLDER. All layouts much be uploaded by 9:00 a.m. CST on Monday, January 4th.

THE PRIZE: This week we've got one more beautiful Christmas-themed prize package, featuring the Snowed In paper line from My Mind's Eye, along with coordinating embellishments from MME, Making Memories, and American Crafts destined to inspire some holiday scrapbook pages!


CHALLENGE RULES:There are only 2 rules if you want to enter a weekly challenge:
1.) Your submission has to be a new layout created for this challenge. :) You're on your honor here, but the idea of a Weekly Challenge is to finish new layouts and not simply upload old layouts. :) (Your actual layouts can be done in any size - 12x12, 8.5x11, 8x8... whichever size you scrapbook in!
2.) Please only submit one time for each weekly challenge!
