How often do you go to a scrapbook store/craft store, fall in love with a paper collection or adorable new embellishements that you HAVE to have, only for them to sit in your closet (often still in the bag even) and they go unused? When you shop with me, or take workshops and crop with me, I try to come up with creative ways for you to use the great product that you buy! This is one of the reasons that inspired me to create this challenge series with my scrapbookers...to encourage you to try new things and to use your left over workshop treasures!
So, without further to do, here is the fall list of challenges. The deadline is the November Crop.
Fall Scrap Challenge!
1. Use different font/types of letters to create an interesting title—no two letters can be done the same.
2. Somewhere on the layout create a pattern of mosaics.
3. Create a border using stamps (on at least one side).
4. Use photo corners on a layout.
5. Cut lettering for a title (or some other important written) from a coordinating patterned paper.
6. Triple layer a flower and use brad or some other embellishment in the center.
7. Use ribbon accent by layering it under at least one photograph and over another…like a weaving.
8. Use a repeat punch in a way so that it creates another image.
9. Use at least 5 arrows to go through both right and left side layouts to carry the eyes through the pictures.
10. Use either real stitching, marker stitching, or rub on stitching somewhere on your layouts.
