Don’t you just love this? What a great little slice of life she captured here. Such seemingly insignificant little details are what we often treasure the most down the road. So this week, we’re challenging you to scrap your precious “contents”. While you’re welcome to scrap backpacks, feel free to expand on the theme and scrap… What’s in your purse? What’s in your glove box? What’s in your closet? OR if your household is like mine… “What’s in your shoes?” (Checkers, marbles, cheerios, a rubber snake, jello, etc.) lol.

Challenge Nineteen:
Scrap your precious “contents”

Once your page is complete, upload to the Daily Dose of Digital Gallery so we can all be inspired by your creations! I asked three of our talented creative team members to take this challenge. Check out the fabulous and creative results!
