Here's the problem...
I have so much STUFF that I'm intimidated by it. I have too many choices. It's making me unproductive during my precious scrapbooking hours. I need some limits. I need some directions. I need someone to tell me what to do.
I started looking at scrapbook challenges online a few minutes ago, and I found one or two that interested me. But then I thought,
Why don't you just make your own scrapbook challenges, silly girl?!
So here I am, back on my little blog doing just that. If there is anyone out there who has suggestions for helpful challenges, I would love to hear about them. Since I think I am my only reader, however, I'll just move on with the plan.
CHALLENGE #1:
Get out of your rut. Jump-start your creativity by creating a layout with these specifications:
1. Select one of your projects. (I have several open projects right now: Texas book, piano students book, honeymoon cruise book, and Christmas book).
2. Select about 4 photos. Scan them. Edit them. Print them.
3. Select one Cricut shape cartridge to use on your Cricut Expression. You are not allowed to use your Imagine right now.
4. Select solid papers from your stash as a base for your layout.
5. Select patterned papers from your stash for trims and photo mats.
6. Journal by hand using a few of your millions of journaling tags and cards. (This is a toughy for me. I really prefer typing.)
7. Use at least one brad, one button, and some twine.
8. Make a banner-style title.
Okay! That's it. On the off chance that I have any followers out there, please feel free to post a comment. Better yet, if you take up this challenge, post a link to a photo of your layout!
