November 30th to December... 6, 7, 8...

Hey Laura, if we don’t already have a challenge for this week . . . .

I’m giving this challenge to get myself going on my Christmas cards. I propose we do a layout that somehow includes your Christmas letter for 2007, or if you’re one of the few that actually writes individual letters for people, perhaps include the card that you’re going to send out this year instead. This will give me a deadline for my Christmas card this year so maybe I’ll actually get it done!

Focus on Journalling this week. Try to do something different like using more than one font on your computer, writing in a different shape or writing a poem, or using stickers/rub-ons to do a title and then journal in handwriting or a completely different sticker style, or mix handwriting and computer journalling together for an even more eclectic look! :) Journalling is my least favourite part of scrapbooking, so let's see what neat ideas we can come up with this time!

Happy scrapping,
Laura

Okay, let's make it official since a couple of us jumped ahead already! Everyone has now received the die cuts that Mom sent out (or hand delivered to us lucky ones)... so...

Our next challenge (starting Friday) is to do a page incorporating arrows into it! Have fun!

"I have thought of a challenge:

One page (unless you feel like doing more); the ONLY restriction is that the page has to be about something you find humourous; something that makes you laugh."

Okay, I'll send out a couple of ideas anyway, and we'll make them "optional" this week :) Your challenge for the week is to play "catch up" or to complete option A or option B (or if you're really keen, heck, do both!)

OPTION A:

The first one is if you have several photos to scrapbook, it's a layout of 10 or more photos.

OPTION B:

Or, if you don't have 10 or more photos to scrapbook and want something a little less busy, here's option "B"...

Happy Scrapping!

Okay, this week Cory's come up with an idea... it's really not bad, either!

Incorporate some element of some other hobby (neglected or something you still do) into one of your pages, as an embellishment. So, for me, I might use cross-stitch thread on my page because that was my passion before I discovered scrapbooking, or Mom might use a piece of fabric, or some buttons... I used to write poetry and I used to sketch, so lots of ideas! If Cory did a page, he'd use hockey cards for embellishments, etc.

This will make for some neat, and personal pages! Can't wait to see them!
