Challenge # 17

Apr 27th - May 4th is Decorative Scissors! Chances are that you own at least one pair and probably had more before, but tossed them out. There was a reason you bought them, use them for this challenge! The key is moderation not to get carried away! It will be fun to see the results!

Challenge # 16

April 20th - 27th is Stitching / Sewing! I love the look of sewing on scrapbook pages! For this challenge you can use another wonderful hobby on your page! Hand sewing and machine are both acceptable. OR if you are really intimidating you can do it with a pen (do mock "stitching") and I know that there are also rub-ons that look like stitching. These are also accepable!

Challenge # 15

April 13th - 20th is Bad Photos! Guess what? You can still use them! Even if they are blurry or need major cropping, etc... An idea for a blurry photo, use it in whole and talk about how fast life is going and how it is a blur! Cropping isn’t bad, it can actually be good. You could make a snippets of your life page! This is supposed to be fun!

Challenge # 14

April 6th - 13th is Scrapbook a color that makes you feel uncomfortable! Or you think it is hard to work with. Look through your scrapbook, what color have you not used very much? Chances that it is intimidating for you! This week work with that color and experiment with small and big portions of this color. Look in a scrapbook magazine or online (twopeas, etc...) to see how other people use this color.

Challenge # 13

March 30th - April 6th is 10 + Photos! A tip I have is to crop and/or use the square punch. Can be on one page or double page spread. This would be a great layout of the "Many sides of you" or for an event, etc... Check out Becky Higgin's sketches for ideas too! Sources: - CK, July 2006, page 86 - 94

April Bonus Challenge!

Make a heart shape out of scraps, flowers, buttons, felt, etc... So many pages have been made like this. I love the look, but I have yet to it! That shall change! Any questions? Want to show what you did? Post in the comments! Sources: - Effer # 1
