Jodie's first blog contest!

What words of wisdom did you grow up hearing from your parents? I have a ton! (some silly...some serious) Like, "Always wear clean underwear, you never know when you might be in an accident and taken to the hospital. Or, "Treat others as you want to be treated, regardless of how they treat you" and how about, "Quit making that face, it might freeze like that, and then you would be stuck with it for life.

Well, what ever words of wisdom you heard from your parents, I want YOU to scrap about it!

This contest will have one winner, and that winner will receive an Imaginisce goodie bag from me.

-Your layout must be about the words of wisdom you heard growing up. They can be silly or serious, a single one, or a layout full of them. You can list them, tell us the circumstances they were used, how you felt when you heard it. It doesn't matter - capture them for your kids, and have fun with it.

-Only one entry per person please!

-Upload your layout to the Scrap 4 Life gallery under "Words of Wisdom" in the Blog Contest section (make sure the size is 100K or smaller, and the file name does not contain spaces or special characters)

-List products & techniques used in the description field, and any other information you would like to share. (Scraplifts are not eligible for contests. If you use a sketch or an idea from someone else, please give credit.)

-Entries will have until Friday August 10th to upload in the Scrap 4 Life gallery. Winner will be post on the blog on Saturday Ausgust, 11th! Good luck!

Finally....our first S4L Blog!
