February 23rd - March 2nd is Make it BIG! Some ideas are to enlarging photos, using big words (in size or context!) embellishments, titles, etc... Sometimes bigger is better!!! Why not post in the comments a link to your take on the challenge, I would love to see it!

Challenge # 7

February 16th -23rd is Use Your Scraps! Guess What? I know you have scraps laying around and I know that you save paper scraps! This weeks challenge is to use them! So, you pick out your background paper and photos, BUT everything else needs to be scraps. So for stickers you can’t take from a new sheet, some have to be already taken from it, etc. It might just be harder then you think! But then again, maybe not!

Challenge # 6

Feb 9th - 16th is Confessions! What is something that not many people know about you? What are you quirks? Something special about you? What are your hidden talents? For me, I like to leave my orange out after I peel it so that it is crunchy when I go later to eat it (now how many people do that?). Come on, have fun with this one and see what you come up with! Also, a comment was left in challenge 5 asking if we are doing the challenges and if we will post our layouts. The answer is yes we are doing the challenges (although, I admit, I am behind!) but hopefully this week we will be able to upload the ones we do have. So, layouts to come!

Challenge # 5

February 2nd - 9th is Then and Now! Use older photo with newer photos! Some ideas would be old house, new house. Before hair-do and after hair-do. Old vehicle and new vehicle. Photos of when you were a child with photos as a teen or adult (what features are the same?). It’s up to you! If you look closely, a few scrapbookers in CK (Ali Edwards for one) do this fairly often... Get some ideas from them! Why not add a link to your scrapbook page in the comments, I would love to see what you came up with!

February Bonus Challenge!

Break up journaling! Ok, you have your journaling or title from the computer, stickers, punches, die cut or even by hand! The you cut a part apart each word and then group them together on the page. It could also even be whole sentences (line strips)! Does this make sense? I hope so, comment on the blog if you don't understand and I'll see if I can explain it better!
