How to Cash in on Your Scrapbooking Expertise
(ARA) - Move over Tiger Woods! Scrapbooking has recently become more popular than golf, according to the Craft and Hobby Association.
With one in three households containing a scrapbooker, the hobby, which involves preserving a legacy of written history through photographs, memorabilia and embellishments, has grown rapidly since its modern debut in the early 1980s.
As part of a nationwide challenge in creativity, The Skinny Cow brand, maker of low-fat ice cream snacks, is inviting “scrappers” across the country to share their snipped, stamped and stenciled memories. The contest involves creating a layout with two photos, a title, at least one accent or embellishment, and a journalizing block to bring the page to life. “Croppers” have until midnight on July 31, 2007, to submit their entries in one of the following categories:
* Best “Girls Nite Out” Page: From movie nights to book clubs and happy hours, memories are always made when good friends come together for an evening of fun!
* Best “Crop Party” Page: Scrapbooking and parties go together like glitter and glue! If your scrapbooking get-togethers go down in history, be sure to preserve the memories with an amazing visual display of all the good times.
* Best “Scrapbook Convention” Page: Croppers across the country convene to refine skills and creativity – and not to mention, scrapbook!
The top 150 contest entries will be judged by a panel of “celebrity scrapbookers” from Creating Keepsakes and Simple Scrapbooks magazines. The grand prize winner will be crowned “Queen of the Crop,” and receive a trip for four to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. Three first prize winners (one per category) will receive a digital camera and photo printer package, and 30 second prize winners (10 per category) will receive a year’s supply of The Skinny Cow frozen treats.
