Those of you that receive our newsletter saw the call for LA County Fair entries. Did you know that there is a section at the fair that showcases scrapbooking projects? Did you know you can enter your work? I have done it for the past 3 years and it’s been great to see the display area for scrapbooking get larger and larger. Let’s all see if we can’t get it to be even bigger this year.

Here’s the deal … you don’t have much time left to get your entry form sent off with your entry fee. It must be postmarked by July 9, 2009. Yes, that’s technically TODAY. Here’s where you can find the form. Edited: I guess my link doesn’t let you print out the form, so go here and then click on “Tapestry Entry Form” link. From there you can print it out and then fill it out and mail it off TODAY.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT FORM:

For Division #, enter 2418 (that’s Scrapbooking)

For Class #, enter 1 (Themed Page – a layout), 2 (Invitation or Announcement), 3 (Keepsake, Altered Book – a mini album), 4 (Greeting Card) or 5 (Other, specify)

For Description, descibe your project. Give as much detail in the space provided as you can, so you can get your project back after the fair is over.

Entry fee is $2 per project. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR CHECK WITH YOUR ENTRY APPLICATION.

Your projects have to be at the fair by July 14th. That’s next Monday.

I am entering 4 projects.  Projects that are already completed. I am not making new ones. I know you have plenty in your stash that you can part with for a couple of months. Let’s show the world (or LA County) that we scrapbookers are awesome! Please don’t think that your work is not worthy of being displayed! It is! It was made with love, passion, and creativity. Why shouldn’t that be showcased? And who knows? You might even get a ribbon.

I hope to see your work at the fair.

PS – Please submit original work and not projects you made in a class. We want to see YOUR designs.
