Beginning with the January 2008 issue of MM, you’ll find a Master’s Challenge inside every issue (where you’ll find it will vary by page number in each issue).

Here's how it works:
In each issue, one of the Masters will publish a challenge and her layout in response to her own challenge. Then, you get to respond with your own layouts. The Master who issued the challenge will visit the forum thread and provide feedback on all the layouts posted. Fear not—the feedback will be offered with the kindest of intentions to applaud a job well done, to offer suggestions for different ways to achieve a certain technique or to provide helpful tips for future projects.

Here's the link to where you can post your responses to the January challenge.

The January issue is on sale now, if you're not a subscriber, at your favorite bookseller or online.  Or click here if you want to become a subscriber and get your issues before they hit the newsstand!

Peace and love,

p.s. For those of you who got socked with the winter storms this weekend, I hope you're safe and warm. And perhaps you got a chance to scrap on your snow day?!
