The most important thing is that you have finished all six within the end of the year. If you have any questions at all, please PM me in the community. You can find my profile here.

The winner of challenge #1 is someone who made a huge impression on many of us with her definition of happiness; Happiness is....to take part, - not just be a bistander.

Congrats, Ecam. A gift certificate is heading your way:)

So lets talk about CHALLENGE #2.

This time the quote is as following: "Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember"(Oscar Levant) We want you to scrap a photo that stands for happiness, and you need to include the whole quote.

We also want to keep the focus on the photo this time. It need to be a black/white photo or sephia. Heidi made you a tutorial that you can follow if you don´t know how to do it. Either way you should really check it out, the tuts are great and easy!

Challenge #1: HAPPINESS IS.....

We start easy, and it goes like this: Happiness is.....complete this sentence.

Make a layout about what happiness is for you and complete it with the first thing that falls in you head. It has to be about you, but you can of course use picture of others than yourself. It´s all about what happiness is for you. But you need to have the sentence "happiness is (with your ending) in alpha on the layout.

Focus on fonts: You have to have a journalingpart on your layout using the journal-font from http://www.dafont.com/. You can find it here.

Upload your layout to our challenge-gallery, and link to it here. Please stop by our english area of our community if you have any questions. Can´t wait to see what you come up with. You have until September 14th to finish. First winner up will be announced September 22nd, so will the next challenge. Before I stop writing, here is a layout from Hanne´s gallery as a inspiration to you all. Happe scrapping!
