ScRaP SiStaZ Challenge 22

Nice start, ladies! So far three of us completed Challenge 21. I feeeelll more layouts being done as I type. :)  Don't forget to upload your layout to your blog and link it in the comments section, so we can all look at it and ooooohhhh and ahhhhhh!

Here's the next Challenge.  Sticking with simplicity... two page 12x12 layout.


This layout is about a cute little guy losing his first tooth. I know each of you have pictures of your child(ren) with their first missing tooth, so this would be a great layout to document that monumental event.  Personally, I'd put pictures in those middle squares and embellishments down there at the bottom, but that's just me.  I particularly like the title... the actual documentation of years, months, and days.  My take.... I'm thinking of documenting a simple ritual that Derek and I do... watching movies on the couch in our bedroom... happy hour at the Creek... something like that and then using the years, months, days title idea to represent how long we've been married...  you could use this format for any of your child's events... pics from his or her sporting event and documenting their age.... a vacation you took with your significant other (again, documenting how long you've been married or since you started dating)....  could document other loved ones' relationship... a snapshot of your parents at a special date in time... wedding pics... enough rambling. You get the idea. Can't wait to see what you create! Have fun!

Project Deadline: Monday, October 10

ScRaP SistaZ Challenge 21

Hello my long lost SiStaz! Welcome to the next round of scrap challenges in hope of getting your scrapbooking mojo fired up again!  Kids are back to school, families are back to routines....... and everyone is as busy as ever!  That said, we are going to start off sllllooooowly. One simple page.  This is on purpose. It's doable sometime in the next two weeks.  It'll give you a chance to dust off your tape runners, sharpen your trimmers, get some pictures developed...

Heerrreeeeeeeeee weeeeeeeeeeeeee goooooooooooooooo....................................



My take.... for those of you with more than one child you could change the picture template to add two, three, or four pics with snippets next to each pic.... you could turn this into a "husband" page (let's be honest, we have all been married a while and don't really highlight our love for that guy who sleeps next to us each night nearly enough... or at least we don't document it!)... could be a pet page... let the kids write the journaling or scribe it to you.... or this page could be about an inanimate object.... I know I could put a picture of my iPad on this layout... or my 32" monitor in my scrapbook room... or my H3 that gets me up and down our driveway safely in the winter... or a picture that I snapped during one of my snow days last year.  My mind is just-a-whirling!  Oh, one more idea... get those Cricuts fired up... what a great tool to help you with that title!!

Alright, deadline is Monday, September 26.  As a reminder, upload your layout to your blog and then (this is a little change) link it to this post in the comments section.

Welcome Back, SiStaZ!  Happy to see you!
