Saturday Layout Challenge: Scrapbooking Makes Me Happy

Challenges can sometimes get us to create layouts and work on memories that we might not have done otherwise. It is my favorite part about doing challenges; the ability to think outside the box and get some scrapbooking done at the same time. Well, today I was sitting on the floor of my scrap area and going through old issues of my scrapbooking magazines. I came across a question in one of them that begged the question “What things in your scraproom make you happy?” “These are the exact kind of questions I like to use for my scrapbook journaling.”, … Continue reading →

Saturday Layout Challenge – Update an Old Layout

Have you ever look back in your scrapbooks and found a layout that you couldn’t believe you made. Perhaps it was one of those “What was I thinking?” moments, or perhaps you really don’t care what your earlier layouts look like. It certainly does show a growth. Either way, it can be fun to go back and update an old layout. It really is not that hard to update a previous layout either.

Saturday Layout Challenge – How Many Layouts?

In honor of National Scrapbooking Day, I thought today’s challenge would be a little different than the normal challenges.

How many layouts can you complete today? Most people take National Scrapbooking day and attend a crop, class or workshop designed specifically for the this special day.

Saturday Layout Challenge: A Love/Hate Relationship

Springtime is officially upon us and the birds are singing and even hatching and we were lucky enough to catch sight of some frog eggs that have been deposited into the pond at the barn. I love this time of year. Fall and Spring are my favorites and that hasn’t changed much in a lot of years. This week’s challenge deals with the things we love (and even the things we don’t love). You have all seen those favorites layouts that have been circulating for the past couple of years. Have you ever done one? If not, now is a … Continue reading →

Saturday Layout Challenge: Beyond the Favorites

This layout challenge really has me motivated this week. I have spent the past several months playing around a little in my scrapbooking. I am hoping that these ideas will get you motivated to try some new things too. Today’s Challenge: Your layout challenge for this week is to go beyond the traditional favorites list and look at specifics in your life. For instance, the question has been posed “What is your favorite thing to wear?” Go beyond the normal answer of perhaps “jeans and a t-shirt”, and showcase your favorite pair of shoes, your favorite t-shirt, your favorite hair … Continue reading →

Saturday Layout Challenge – Inspirations

What a beautiful weekend we are having here in the Midwest. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and it is warm and spring like, finally! All of these nice sights made me start thinking about what inspires me. Why not create a layout about your favorite things that inspire you to be a better person, inspire you to create, inspire you to do whatever it is you do. I am a nature nut, so I tend to get inspired by almost anything outdoors. I thought it would be great if I created a layout showing some of my … Continue reading →

Saturday Layout Challenge: The Hard Times

It has returned to the scrapbooking blog. The scrapbooking layout challenges have been resurrected from the dark side and brought back into the light. They have been changed to be offered on Saturday instead of the original Monday’s that we were doing before. The reason for this change is because many scrapbookers really only get to create their layouts and find their special time to scrapbook on the weekends. It seemed that this would be an easier day to put the scrapbooking layout challenges up. I will also be moving past challenges over to the Inspiration section of the blog. … Continue reading →

Fall is swirling all around me at this point. Leaves are changing, the air is crisper and and windier, and I am burning my pumpkin spice candles.

Today’s Challenge: This week’s layout challenge is all about this wonderful season, and everything you love (or hate) about it. Perhaps it is the beauty of the season that you love. Or maybe it is the scents that are famous for this time of year. … Continue reading →
