There's a new journaling challenge at Deco-Pages.com. With August being the time when most schools resume after the summer break, this month's theme is to document about the trepidations and anxieties of the first day of school....but not for the children, but about ourselves when we were in school. What a legacy to give to our children to show them that 1. we were young once and 2. that we experienced the same types of anxieties and emotions that they do now. We're not so different as they would believe we are. For this challenge I created a starter kit that is free for registered Deco-Pages members. Here is a preview of the kit:

I've added a bonus to the kit that isn't included in the preview as well and it will be available in the Mini-Memories section of the Deco-Pages store tomorrow and the best part..... it's only $1.99.

Deco My Ad by Wildcat Designs:
Advertisers have known for years that to make money you need to grab someone’s attention, so they spend hours and lots of money creating very eye catching graphic layouts. Why not use those great ads as an inspiration for a LO. The challenge is simple - - -I give you and ad---this one your job is to take all or part of the ad and create your own version in a LO. You can crop, rotate, and eliminate what you don't care for. Use it as a base and just go with it. Can't wait to see all your versions. Once you post you LO in the Deco My Ad Gallery - - -come back and leave a link in this thread. At the end of the month those that complete the task will be rewarded with a minikit.
