WC #43 - Making Headlines

Who doesn't love a juicy story? I know I sure do and that is what inspired this challenge. This week you get to play reporter. Create your scrapbook page as if you were creating the front page of a newspaper, tabloid, or magazine.

Here is a cute example I found:

Have Fun!

WC#42-Out of the Scrap Room

This week I dare you to use something that is not made for scrapbooking. Go to your office and pull out the staples, go to the kitchen and pull out the aluminum foil :) or just use paint. Just let your imagination go free and use something outside of your scrapbooking supplies. I'll be waiting to see all the amazing work!
The los that were created for last week's challenge-"Catalogs, Adds, Billboards":
1. Denitza: " Summer Time"

WC#41-Catalogs, Adds, Billboards

Sometimes when I can't get inspired by my photos, the story behind them, my family, the flowers around me or anything else that usually makes me just want to create, I look at adds. They are everywhere! Here is the page ( from Ikea catalog) that inspire me to create a fun lo with photos from this summer. I hope this week you can take time to look at the photo and get inspired to create something-doesn't have to be a lo-anything. Can't way to see what you can come up with!
Congrats to the girlzz that created los for the last week's challenge " Brenda, You've Been Scrapjacked"-you are one more lo closer to your goal!

1. Sharon: " You Are My Hero"

2. Jessica: " Cousins"

3. Angela: " Carpe Diem"

WC#39-The Men in our Lives

For this week's challenge I decided that we need to pay some attention to the men in our lives. We always tend to create los about the kids, vacations, but not enough about our men. So this week I challenge you to create a lo about the men around you -husbands, fathers, sons, boyfriends,uncles, friends,brothers...The due date for this challenge will be 10/07-Sunday. I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Now get busy!:)

Thanks, Jess, for the last 2 weeks -great challenges!

Great los! If somebody else posts a lo, I'll update the info here.

WC #38

I'm not going to post the completed LOs from last week until the end of this when I post the winner, since it's a two-week long challenge.

With this week's challenge, you have a choice between two (since I couldn't choose and don't want to be stingy and take another week away from denitza) or you can do both!
Option #1: Scrap something you don't like about yourself. It can be physical or not. It can be something you do, or a part of your body. It's all up to you. (imperfect lives, will fill in page # when i find it again, lol)
Option #2: Scrap your dirty little secrets. This can be about anything. Your quirks, short cuts you take, anything you can possibly think of you'd want to fall under this category. An example of this in the book was of a mom who told all of her shorcuts she take so she can have some "me" time. Such as doing the "sniff test" rather than doing another load of laundry. Occasionally I'll do my son's homework rather than fighting and arguing with him, so that it gets done. It doesnt have to be like this at all. Anything you can think of at all!!(imperfect lives page 59)

Alright, now get scrapping! Have fun!

WC #37

Firstly, I want to thank Brenda for stepping in and posting a last minute/mid-week WC for us (and a great one for the month with the 9/11 theme). So, Brenda- a big thanks to you!


Second, those people who participated and/or posted a LO

• Denitza
• Brenda
• Christy
• Sarah (will upload soon)
• Sharon (will upload soon)

Can't wait to see the others when they're uploaded.

Now, for this week's challenge. I had such a difficult time deciding between two that I had narrowed it down to. However, eenie meenie minie moe really worked here, and I've got one for this week.

This week's challenge will be to write a note to your younger self. You can give your younger self advice, with the knowledge you know now and how you would have used it then. You can include a picture of yourself of around the time you would have liked to receive this note, a picture of yourself now, both, or no picture at all. It is entirely up to you. Maybe you'll want to make this the first page of the WIGU (when I grow up) mini album if you participated in that.. or if you are working on a BOM, this would be a great addition. What you include on this page is entirely up to you. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

The Due Date for this will be Sunday, 9/23. At this point, i'll post another challenge for next week. Then, Sunday 9/30 will be the due date. On this day, I would need everyone to PM me with their favorite LO for the two weeks (if you only did one week, i'll assume it's that one). When I receive everyone's PM, I'll put up a poll and we'll vote for the favorite LO. When I find out the winner I'll send out a RAK!!

Happy Scrapping!

The credit for this idea goes to my "Imperfect Lives" book i got, page 17.
