Hi scrappers! Welcome to the Virtual Scrapbook Night (or month) of January 2023! Here are the challenges but do your chattering and sharing in this thread please.
I hope we can all get some scrapping done this week, and the rest of the month. Feel free to share what you are working on and what you are thinking about doing for the challenges. I hope these challenges will inspire you and me to reach our January goals!
Welcome everyone! I can’t wait to see who posts the first layout to our VSBN gallery!
As of now I am looking for printed photos, as my photo printer is out of commission. I even tried on my regular printer, and that was a failure! Tell me your thoughts about the challenges. Any ideas for what you might do for a challenge?
These are inspiring challenges, Sharon! I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can come up with. I do actually have one I'm planning right now! It is for Something New: baby chicks!!!

Okay! I just got back from a run to Walgreens for this years Christmas photos. Not very many and not very good. 😕. If possible my photography skills have gotten worse. But I am ready to scrap!
Anyone else scrapping tonight? I am working on the VSBN Challenges. I have two done and working on one. Thought of ideas for two others but can't come up with idea for the last one. Hey, who thought these up and I can't think what I am doing! LOL Be inspired by the Tiger or rabbit. What was I thinking! LOL.
Hi everyone. I'm a sucker for challenges, so I hope to play along with a few of the VSBN challenges. Sharon, can you clarify where we post our links to the challenges? Do you want them here?
Hi Cheryl! So good to see you! We have missed you. Yes, post the VSBN pages here. This is our VSBN post and chat forum. You may also post them in the January goal thread if you want.
I am so glad you are going to try to play.
My husband is away for the weekend. I am scrapping. I invited a few friends but they can’t make it. I’m comfy and working away. I’ll post pictures soon. I’m working on a Disney trip from 2017. As much as I don’t like being this far behind, I love reliving the memories.
Yes, always fun to relive the good memories. I was scrapping this morning, and now working on “newest photos”. They are all this Christmas. My Selphy photo printer is giving me problems, so had to go to Walgreens. I loved just printing one or two photos as I go, so am spoiled. Will watch for your layouts.
Here is my layout for the first challenge to use something new. This title just arrived in the mail today! Perfect timing. Magic castle by PMR at Splitcoaststampers

Pia, how great that you got that title in time for this "use something new" challenge!
Here is my page for the third challenge to use newest photos. I did them out of order. So, now i have 4 of them done. VSBN23JAN, Seasons Greetings 3 sm by smadson at Splitcoaststampers
Pia, I am not a sketch person, either. Usually the photos I want to scrap dictate my layout. Rarely do I have the photos right size, right orientation of photo for a sketch.
today, I am thinking of the last challenge, and might combine with Scraplift of Amy for the Featured Stamper challenge Christmas Day honoring her. I never did that.
your Layout , Pia, about being brave would fit the last challenge, don’t you think?
I just posted my layouts for the first two challenges in my gallery, but it's been a while and I forgot about the no posting on Sunday rule (is that still a thing?), so my layouts won't be approved until tomorrow. Off to leave some love on Pia and Sharon's layouts.
Great idea, Joyce Ann. Are you going to do a whole book with your recipes? At one of my retreats a lady was doing a whole book with layouts of her recipes.
I played along with the third challenge to use the newest pictures. The school pictures were taken in September, but they only sent home the class "photo" last week. My daughter has been carrying it around, haha, so now it is safely in her scrapbook! School Pics

Oops, just realized I never linked up my first two VSBN layouts! For the first challenge, I used a new stamp set to stamp the title, and for the second, I used a new sketch.
