Scrap Shanty Challenge Blog

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!

It’s Twisted Tuesday at the Shanty and it’s time for a Tutorial Challenge with Anne! This week, we’re trying the technique of digitally threading some ribbon through a buckle, like so:

If you already know how to do this technique, then your challenge is to make a layout with a threaded buckle. And if you don’t, then be sure to stop by the challenge thread and discover the secret!

Happy scrapping!

It’s Tricky Thursday and that means it’s time for the Element Challenge with Brook! This week’s challenge is to pack a layout or a card full of hearts. How appropriate for today!

Want to play along with us? Be sure to upload your layouts to the gallery and then post them in this thread for us to “Ooo!” and “Ahh!” over.
