Who doesn’t love to win a contest and at the Shaker Box, we love to see our members win big!! Each month, The Shaker Box offers many different contests and one is sure to appeal to you! If you’ve never entered before, March is time to begin. You cannot win if you do not enter! March Theme and Technique Layout Contest! Trinket, Trash and Treasure, home of the most wonderful monthly paper arts kits, is the sponsor for the March layout contest! These monthly kits are packed full of unique products to inspire all of your artistic talents! Everything has gone a little “Mad” this month at The Shaker Box as we explore the theme of March Madness. The March Theme and Technique contest will highlight layouts exhibiting scrapbooking techniques gone wild! You should upload to the T&T contest gallery your original layouts that illustrate the theme - your ability to go “mad” with techniques. In addition, for March, the technique is showing the Zany quality of some our scrapping techniques – such as hardware and grocery store finds. So, in addition to the theme, you must also incorporate THREE items found from any of the six places listed below: Something found at a hardware store To enter, simply create a layout (limit 2 per member) using BOTH the theme and the technique and upload it to the Shaker gallery by 12:00 CST, March 31st. Good Luck! ---------- March Photography Contest Regardless of where you live, March signals a time of great change. The photos you take the first of the month, will generally differ greatly from those you take at the end of the month. Whether you live in the Northern Hemisphere and you a’re changing from winter to spring – or you are in the southern part of the world, mate, and preparing for the cold – change is inevitable. For the MARCH Photography Contest – TWO photos will be required: One from this first portion of March and one from the latter. Find a focal point in your scenery, in your yard, in your children or even yourself and take a photograph NOW. Look for the basic design elements – the rule of thirds, color, framing, etc. Then, take a shot as similar in design in the latter part of March and compare and contrast the two. Be creative in your thinking and in your shots! Tiny Details: You may enter TWICE – up to FOUR photos. They can be digital or not, black and white or color. Deadline is 12:00 CST, March 31, 2005. Upload your photographs into the Photography Challenge Contest gallery. A panel of judges will decide the winner, therefore, Shaker Box Team Members, excluding Michele and Mac, may enter the contest. A prize will be awarded to one First Place winner. GOOD LUCK!!

Molly says of the layout itself, "I love this house and everything about it… This house has been my friend since I moved to Conway. It's been a place of comfort and quiet when I needed to get away and the subject of my art. I repay the favor by keeping it safe from those who don't perceive its wealth. But, nothing lasts forever, except in my photographs." It would appear Molly truly has a great love for "her house." Thank you, Molly for participating and congratulations. She will be receiving a stamp set from our sponsor Leave Memories. Each month The Shaker Box features a different Theme and Technique (TNT) Layout Contest hosted by one of our fabulous site sponsors.
