Christmas Nostalgia

Isn't it fun to look at old pictures from past Christmases?  Can you remember what you got that Christmas or a funny story about Christmas that year?  Today's challenge is to scrapbook a picture from a past Christmas.  Don't forget to include some journaling about what made that day special.

Share a Thanksgiving Memory

Today, one of my online friends posted that her power was out and it sparked a memory of a past Thanksgivng for me that would make an awesome layout.

Today's challenge is brought to you by the number 3.

Create a layout with 3 patterned paper scraps
Include 3 pictures in the layout

(TiffanyTillman Template, DRutter Maybe Papers, ABM stitches,)

Can you include any other 3s in your layout?

 

UFOs

Take today to work on any UnFinished Objects you have laying around.  Put those layouts into albums.  Put away scraps.  Finish up that card.  Try to find the top of your work space and feel like you accomplished something today.

Inspired By....

In one of the scrapping magazines, they run a column where readers submit a layout that they've done that was inspired by someone else's layout.  I'm often struck by how different the two layouts are but I can usually find one thing that is similar in the layout. 

Today's challenge is to be inspired by another person's layout and create your own version.  Inspiration is the sincerest form of flattery afterall. Look in magazines and online and find your own inspiration.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Immortalize Them

Today is the day.  The day ot immortalize your child/spouse/friend/pet as they are right now.  The challenge today is to create a layout that details their favorites RIGHT NOW. 

What are their favorite foods, books, tv shows, music, things to do?  Choose a few categories and interview them if you need to and scrap it today. This is a great layout to use those miscellaneous pictures you have laying around on.

I can't wait to see what you create!

It's Coming..

...and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Today's challenge is to get cracking on that hand-made Christmas gift list.  You should be buying the materials and starting to work on stuff now.

What are you making? 

Print a Picture

When I ask people what inspires them, I often hear that a fresh stack of newly printed pictures provides the biggest kick in the seat of the pants to start scrapping.  Let's test that theory today, with the challenge to scrap a recent picture.  

Do you have any pictures printed?  If not print some. 

Visiting Area 51

Yes, we are "visiting" Area 51 again today.  You know, Area 51, otherwise known as the place where your scrapping UFOs reside.

Today's challenge is to choose a UnFinished Object and finish it.  Sounds simple, right? 

Now get to work and get it done!

Christmas In July

Today is July 25th.  6 more months until Christmas.  Did that make your blood run cold, with thoughts of Christmas gifts to make?  Don't worry, we ARE going to start working early...like today.

The challenge today is to make a list of the Christmas gifts you want to make.  Just start thinking about it. You don't have to do it today, but make the list of items you'll need.  Maybe think about the process. 

We will get this done!
