One fun thing going on at the Convention is an ATC swap! Join Sherry (Sherry_Lynn) and Carla (CRS) for our own ATC Swap Chat in the chat room on Thursday at 6pm MT! We'll explain all the details. Everyone is welcome to join in the swap, even those attending the convention!

* 7:00PM MT - Sketch Challenge Crop --- Thao & Sarah
Join Thao (HisThao), Sarah (SarahBat) and Armi (mom_of_twins) for the Sketch Challenge and Crop on Thursday at 7pm MT in the Scrap Girls Chat Room! Like getting a little jump start on your layouts? Then this challenge is for you! A few hours before the challenge begins, we'll post a sketch for you to use as the starting point for your page. You can be inspired by the basic arrangement, the amount of photos, or copy it literally. All interpretations are welcome and encouraged! Looking forward to seeing you there!

* 8:00PM MT - Quote Challenge Crop
Come join Karen (kazbar73) for an Outback Aussie-style Quote Challenge. Watch the boards on Thursday for the quote, then join us in the chat room at 8pm MT. I can't wait to see to see what you all come up with.
