Ready for the big challenge announcement? I know I am. It’s something we’ve been saving for today and today is finally here. At last! So, without further ado, allow me to introduce you to “CK & Me.”
“CK & Me” is a scrapbooking challenge that we’re kicking off here and now. The idea is for you to post a project you’ve created that was somehow inspired by something you saw/learned/loved in CK. Here’s a wonderful example:
CK reader, Christina, created this stunning digi page…
Which was inspired by this beautiful page Elizabeth Kartchner created for our May 2009 issue of the magazine.
Christina shared how she so beautifully acted on inspiration she found in CK on her personal blog. This is her “CK & Me” story.
So, what’s your story? How have you personally been inspired by something you’ve seen on the pages of CK? I want to read about it and see your examples.
Here’s the Challenge
If you’ve ever written your own “CK & Me” story online, please leave a link to your story in the comments section of this blog. From the links I receive today, I will randomly select two names to receive a brand spankin’ new copy of Easier Than Ever Scrapbooking 2 (get a sneak peek of the issue here), as well as this stylin’ Eyelet Border Punch and this adorable Hooray Designer Hardware from Stampin’ Up! (below).
“CK & Me” Beyond Today
Even if you don’t have a story to share right now, there’s still time. All month long we’re continuing this challenge, so if your NSD is full, you’ve got all of May to share how you’ve been personally inspired by something you read in CK. Just send us a link to it via e-mail at letters@creatingkeepsakes.com. Put “CK & Me” in the subject line. If you don’t have a blog, go ahead and send us an image of what you’ve done with information on where you got your inspiration. We will monitor this mailbox closely and periodically showcase “CK & Me” stories right here on our blog. Sounds pretty good, right? We think so!
Well, that’s all she wrote for now. Back in a few with more scrapbooking goodness!

Oh my goodness! I wouldn’t be a scrapbooker if it wasn’t for CK and Becky Higgins! You’ve inspired me to spend some time today figuring out how to post some of my layouts. I’ll get back to you with a link!
I wouldn’t have a clue how to scrap without CK! My pages and techniques have grown so much since reading your magazine. Here is a blog post on my organization system on how I use all the inspiring pages in the magazine. Much better than my old sticky note approach!

Megan,
Here is a link to the gallery I posted that has just a few of the layouts inspired by CK! It was hard just to pick a few! CK really has opened a creative door for me! Thank you!

The CK magazine has given me such inspiration in just starting to scrapbook…and get lots of pictures on a page. Here’s one of the posts on my blog where I use some CK techniques:
