Can you believe that summer is here? I can't! Are you ready to get scrappin'? This month's feature kits will be:
1. Be All You Dream (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8176)
2. Brilliant (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8175)
3. Stamped With Love (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8189)
4. To Be A Friend (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8343)
If you are new to my challenges, each month you will be given the 4 kits of the month. I will be doing a special weekly (inside the month) challenge. Each week, I will have a set plan. You can do it, or just stick to the regular monthly format. The challenges will be based on the 4 kits each month. You can jump in at any time, do them all at once, or do one a week. It's up to you.
I want to help you create beautiful layouts. I want to see your layouts shine. I hope these challenges will help you to get more creative and maybe help get some of you out of that scrapper's block that we all get in. :)
Week 1: Awesome Titles
Design a layout with an awesome title! Make the whole page have focus on the title. Try to work on flow and creativity. Alot of my kits this month have premade titles, so you can use those or create titles out of the kit pieces. I want to see something amazing! Reel me in with your title!
Week 2: Love Stories
Sometimes, scrappers find it hard to scrap about themselves or even their relationships. Design a layout based on a letter. Think of that certain someone (it doesn't have to be a spouse/significant other) and write him/her a letter. Let them know how much they mean to you. You can choose to use photos if you want. You don't have to. Journal from the heart. Let the reader feel your love.
Week 3: Friendship
Everyone has that special person in their lives that they just can't live without. Design a page based on your friends. You can use your kids and their friends, or your siblings (if you feel close to them). Friends know us like no one else. You can even use your spouse if you choose to. For this challenge, I am looking for emotional pages. I want to be able to see the bond! :)
Week 4: Multi Photos
It's easy to get into a routine of scrapping every day. It's also easy to make alot of pages look beautiful, using only one photo. Design a page based on multi photos. Try using 3 or more photos on one page. Be creative. Tilt them, frame them, cut them, crop them...Try to keep good flow throughout the page. Focus on one main photo if it will help the page.
As always, remember to post in the Scrappin' with Lisa gallery, and please post a link in this thread. Remember that you don't have to do this new challenge in order. You can do them all, you can do one, you can choose not to do them. It's up to you.
If you use the kits, you will get a bonus for each one you use. If you use all 4 for the month, you will get a special prize. I can't wait to see your layouts. I hope you all enjoy the new challenges. I will be doing this every month.
Happy scrapping! :)
