July Scrapbooking Challenge Round Up List

Rules: I've included links to each challenge site's rules page, so be sure to check there for further information. I strive to post the most up-to-date information, but challenge site information supersedes all information listed here. Read the rules of each host site carefully to be eligible for prizes.

Deadlines: Challenges are due before the end of the month unless noted with a RED deadline date. Be sure to check the timezone of the challenge host.

Allowable Formats: All challenges here allow for 12x12 traditional layouts, but any of these challenges welcome alternate forms of artwork like cards and art journal pages.

Combination Rules: Unless otherwise noted, you can combine these challenges with others, but again, read the rules of each host site.

Have fun creating!
