Scrapbook Challenge

Mom and I have decided to motivate ourselves to create more unique scrapbook pages and layouts. We haven't decided if we will do a scrapbooking challenge every week or every other week, but we are very motivated and excited to share with you what we will be working on. At the end of this article I will announce what are challenge will be for this week.

Mom and I were sitting around the table today at lunch and we were talking about ways to get us motivated to try new things. We were reading about some other challenges on blogs that we like to visit, such as the Just Rite blog that post new challenges every couple of weeks to get those brain juices flowing. That's when I came up with the bright idea to create our own challenge. Mom and I first made a list of 10 scrapbook page themes and a list of 10 different colors. We cut out each theme and color so it was on a strip of paper and folded each in half. We placed the themes in one bowl and the colors in the other.

Here is us drawing our pieces of paper from each bowl. We were to choose one strip of paper out of the theme bowl and two strips of paper from the color bowl.  After choosing the theme and colors I told mom that we needed to utilize some of the numerous tools and embellishments she had by different companies. So we created two more categories. One for tools and embellishments and the other for certain companies. After placing the strips of paper into a bowl we took one strip of paper from each bowl.

 

Rules of the Challenge:

1. Challenges must be complete by next Friday
2. Scrapbook layouts may incorporate other embellishments, colors or tools but must be minimal. The bulk of the page should consist of the items or themes listed on the strips of paper drawn. 
3. The theme of the page can not be changed ,however; three of the other four items on the strips of paper can be used. If a contestant (Mom and I) choose to use all five of the items listed on our strips of paper we only get brownie points. LOL!
4. HAVE FUN SCRAPBOOKING!

Here is a picture of the first three strips of paper Mom and I choose. (No we didn't peak)
