Hello and welcome to August!!!!! I am back with some more challenge fun! August 15th is International Geocaching Day. What is that you ask?
Geocaching is a modern day treasure hunt that uses GPS coordinates to guide participants to hidden caches. These caches can be anything from a small container with a log book and a few trinkets, to a large box filled with toys and gadgets. The goal is to find the cache, sign the log book, and then return the cache to its hiding spot for the next person to find
Geocaching is a great way to get outside and explore your surroundings. It’s also a great way to learn about GPS and map reading. And best of all, it’s free!
While we aren't going to outside on a treasure hunt, we are going to hunt through our Rachel stash and pull out some treasures: mixed media items.
For August, I want you to hunt through your Rachel stash and using current designs that are available in her SHOP here at Oscraps; create a layout that uses at least one photo that you absolutely treasure and the must include the following mixed media items:
