My Scrapping Challenge

  

I cannot believe this week has gone so fast, well this year actually. I remember at the beginning of the year thinking that it was great because my Sister in Law’s wedding was in September and we had something to look forward to, and now its end of October, and the wedding was 4 weeks ago. Wow!! Here is a picture of the beautiful bride.

I got involved in scrapbooking about 3 years ago and am enjoying it immensely, or at least the shops are enjoying me immensely with all the money I spend there! I seem to have a tendency to collect items more than use them. I gave myself a New Year’s resolution at the beginning of 2010 to scrap 1 LO (that’s a scrapbook page, or Lay Out for those who may not know) a week. I have done pretty well – I have done 51 LO’s this year, BUT they have mostly been from classes - which I love, BUT I have so much stuff, that I want to use it. AND they are not all complete (no pictures/titles/journaling) - so my mission when I am on leave in December is to complete them all!

 My New challenge to myself in 2011 is to create 1 LO a week on my own!! (or maybe with the help of some sketches!!)

I have roped in some friends to join me with this challenge – the more the merrier – and the more creative and inspired you feel. The idea will be to get together once a month. In advance, we will create little “packages” – These will include, the photo’s, papers, embellishments, ribbons etc that we want to use on the LO, and we then only use what is in the package! Simple huh! Let’s see if we can manage this!
