Since several PAOers seem to having those pesky snowflakes falling again, I'm back to give you some fun ideas for the weekend.

The theme is "Snowbound".....

The first challenge deals with games. Do a layout of your family playing indoor games, or you doing a puzzle, playing a PC game, playing board games or card games, using the Wii or another gaming system.... something that is playing a game indoors.... even playing with a family pet or wrestling with the kids on the floor counts! I want to see some element on the layout that shows the game played, such as a game piece from a card or board game (doesn't have to be the actual piece), or a feather from the toy the cat mauled while playing, or a couple of wrestlers... you get the idea. And.... since you knew it wasn't going to be THAT easy, here's a sketch for you too! (and before you ask, all the sketches came from http://www.pagemaps.com)

The second challenge deals with relaxation...... what do you do when you are just taking some time for yourself? Curl up with a good book? Watch a little TV? Chat on PAO? Lock yourself away in the craft room? Or something else I've not thought of? This could apply to a family member or friend as well..... whatever photos you have that will work. I want to see flowers on this page.... you don't have to follow the sketch for placement, but give me something to remind us of arm weather and those gorgeous blooms! This is a 2 page sketch, so feel free to play around with it, use only one side, rotate it... whatever works for you!

Thanks, Monica!

Dang, I wish I had taken some photos of DD and our guest playing cards and Monopoly this week. I will have to be creative with that one.

Well while you are all experiencing snow I have to say I spent 6 hours today walking along the beaches, paddling in the water, kicking water at each other and collecting shells and I am finally home (exhausted or can I say stuffed!) and sunburnt!! Will look forward to seeing what you all post :)

Anyone working on these? ;) All things going well, I should have some playtime in between cleaning and the laundry today, so I'm going to try to at least make a couple of cards.

I have nothing for the games layout but I have an idea for the relaxing one. That will take some scrounging through photo files for the right photos to print so today is not looking good for that one either. I really like the card sketches so I should be able to do a few of those.

Thanks for posting the ideas!

Post whenever..... there's really not a time limit per se on any of these.... they ar mainly to get the creative juices flowing, get the muse to come out of hiding, or simply inspire you!

I hope you recognize the sketch in this layout. :roll: DD was doing her best to get a good photo of Mia in this dress (she refused to wear the dress last year because it wasn't pink). Despite the wind and the distracting rugby football (?), I think she got a few cute photos. I've had these papers for over a year - evidently for these photos.

Looks great, Pam! She's just adorable, and those papers are perfect with the photos. :)

Okay, I know a lot of you are snowbound again, so see if you can work on some of these in between the Olympics events and food..... I'm having a slumber party tonight with a girlfriend, since my DH is over in Seattle for an R/C event..... so I may actually get some of these done myself!
