Okaaaay, I think I have this site figured out, lol. I guess I'm no.1 so get to test the waters so-to-speak of this upload process.
So... let's see, I've uploaded my photo for the Retreat Give Away and put my name, Shelley Lanthier.
I was lucky enough to be sent the information for the contest by my local shop, so jumped on it, picked up my entry Aug 14 at Paper Paradise in Kemptville, and here it is Aug 16 and I'm done! Nothing like not letting the ink or glue dry, lol! Enjoyed every exciting minute of it.
hugs,

Hi!
Thanks for running this contest. Had to put my thinking cap on for this one!
I visited Frogs Whiskers Ink in Campbellford - picked up a kit and used many of the items in the pack. The layout is posted on Photobucket.

Thanks for having this contest Karen, it really got me thinking :)
I purchased my kit at the Scrapbook Emporium in Oshawa and have posted my entry on Photobucket.

Super Give-Away Karen. I bought my kit at the Scrapbook Emporium in Oshawa. Jane had kits all made up by the time I got there and this is what I came up with. Haven't scrapbooked in awhile but have wanted to get back at it and this has created the perfect opportunity. Now I just have to figure out how to upload to Photobucket. Yikes. here goes.
Okay Karen,
I've tried to scan the layout (12x12) except my scanner isn't that large... so I took a picture of it instead. Hope that is okay.
I bought the kit from Shari at Crop Circles in Peterborough.

Hi Karen....thank you for this fabulous opportunity to win a weekend scrapbooking retreat in Peterborough. How awesome is that.
Guess my brain is on summer hiatus because Photobucket is confusing me so will send along my layout via e-mail. My kit was bought at The Scrapbook Emporium. It's hard to see the super pp that Jane had picked for this kit but it is there!

What a great prize package! I bought the kit at Sweet Sentiments in Belville Ontario and I had been thinking of doing a layout with exactly this theme. I found it a little challenging working with papers that someone else chose but I am happy with the end result. Hope to be lucky enough to meet everyone at the retreat in October. Janet Goulet.
What else can a girl ask for but a weekend getaway to feed her passion for scrapbooking. Thanks for running the contest Karen. I have my fingers (and yes my toes) crossed with the hopes that my number comes up. I got my kit from Sweet Sentiments in Belleville. Good luck everyone!
