Weekly Challenge

Hi SC friends, Kelly here to challenge you with something fun this week! Lately, I've been feeling in a rut scrapbooking wise. I've been busy in all areas of my life, which hasn't helped, but I wanted to snap myself out of it so I challenged myself. I'm normally a very linear and clean scrapper... I'm drawn to clean lines and organized designs. I challenged myself to step outside of my box with this layout... be a little messy, not have everything touching and tilt things a bit, plus I scrapped a photo of myself which I hardly ever do! I'm really happy with the outcome and it's really inspired me to try new techniques and get back in my scrap room.
Supplies: Mister Huey's Piglet, Countryside Tags, Blue Topographical Die Cut Paper, Barnswallow Paper, Wildflower Paper, Countyline Paper, Pink Notions, Pink Houndstooth FabRips

Today's challenge is for you to do the same. Step outside of your box! If you're normally a clean lined scrapper, mess it up a little. Or if you're a more artsy scrapper, try making a simple page. Do you normally scrap girly pages, try using blues and greens for a more masculine look. I find trying new and different things really sparks my creativity. I hope it does the same for you! Don't forget to upload your layouts to the SC member gallery and link us to it here by Monday, March 21. We'll pick a winner for a $5 gift certificate to the SC shop! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I used pink and flowers on a page featuring a picture of my son. I don't use either very often since he's my only child...and I'm just not that pink or flowery in general.

here's mine: i never scrap little pics and always feel embellishment-challenged, so i challenged myself to use a whole pkg. of embellies (minus 3 tiny butterflies!)

thanks!
