Do What You Don’t Do
Hi Shanty and friends!!! Welcome to another wonderful blog challenge day!
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about comfort zones not only in scrapbooking but in life itself. It is only human nature to lean towards the familiar and stay clear from the unknown. Well, applying this thought to my scrapbooking I decided to list at the least 5 things that I normally don’t do when it comes to my work.
1. I don’t DO simple pages
2. I don’t DO paper peicings
3. I don’t DO centered photos
4. I don’t DO computer journalings
5. I don’t DO double pages
Now looking at this list I realized that inspiration and growth was right in front of me so I snatched one of these DON’T DOs and DID it!
This is a simple page that I completed and let me tell you it was a challenge for me not to load this page with my normal goodies. I kept it clean, simple, and pretty!
Here is the fun part for all of you! My challenge to you is to go make that list of 5 things that you don’t do and from out that 5 choose one. Play around with it, have fun with it, and you will be amazed what you can do when YOU do what you don’t do!
Till next time!

Great idea for inspiring yourself and stepping outside your comfort zone!! I may have to try that on my next layout!! In fact I PROMISE that I will!!
Off to make my list!
