Last year our Design Team swapped and scrapped photos of each other for a very fun, very precious keepsake from being on the Prima DT. It was so cherished by everyone who participated that we wanted to do it again this year.
This time Trina McClune organised a similar swap with the DT! Trina collected photos...secretly handed them out, and collected all of the layouts made with them. No one knew ahead of time who had their photo...which added even more suspense and interest to the swap.
Today, we are doing the big reveal!

This "Scrap Each Other" is such a cool idea that you could do with your scrap friends...or with your family! Just have one person in charge who is willing to collect the photos and then assign them. Set a deadline and then hold a reveal party for everyone involved. Each person will CHERISH the layout made for them by someone they love!
