Layout challenge (March)

[pjlla]

Please, PLEASE don't take this the wrong way.... no criticism at all intended.... but as far as challenges go, the last thing I need is to be challenged to take MORE pictures and scrap MORE events. I need to be challenged to get done the pictures I already have waiting! So maybe two challenges?? Like a "use up the oldest paper in your stash" challenge?? Or a "get caught up to the 21st century" challenge?? Or better yet, a "how many pages can you get done this weekend while simultaneously staying caught up with laundry, dishes, meals and whining kids" challenge?

Any other thoughts? ...................P

I'm in. I actually have some place to go that night - Gentlemans choice at my sons school.

No offense taken. I do have some other ideas, I'm just trying to get some of us out of our comfort zones. Some of the ideas I'm looking at are:
-Patterned paper only
-All abut you (that will use up some existing photos)
-2 page LO using 10 or more photos
-photo free layout
-shop your stash (spend $0.00 on a layout)
-3 elements (where we all use the same types of elements ie. ribbon, brads, primas)
-color chalenge (use red, yellow, etc)
-Yours could be a chore challenge. Can you get a page done before the load of laundry is finished. Or the dishwasher shuts off. That would be fun!!!! (speed challenge)
-Sketch challenge
-Swap challenge, you have to actually use a swap item in a layout instead of hoarding them... ahem.... AWM, PN96, SIOH, KAMommy.

21st Century challenge would be tough, I doubt I'll get there before the 23rd century arrives! But we can try!

Besides all the postcards and other items Disers might be sending each other during their trips... I think we should make trip assignments. ooohhhhh maybe for the "newest attraction" so that people can get sneek peeks.

I think I'm first up so challenge me!!!!

Hey! Are you talking about me??
What about a craziest pose lo.. my kids love to ham it up!
I thought of some others today but got caught up in something else and have now lost them.. I plan on scrapping at least 10 pages tomorrow or I'm going to ban myself from the dreaded until I complete them!!! Although my scraproom is next to the room so I should be able to multi-task!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm going to start a thread for Feb. Speed challenge.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Cool!!!
I plan to use some of my swap elements from the holiday swap tomorrow...
and I would like to do a little more to my 2005 Disney album... got some Epcot elements from the last go around to utilize... I would also just like to get going on some miscellaneous pages for the kids' albums..

You want me to take photos of what I do that day and scrap it? I will be putting people to sleep. I am so boring.

As a chronic insomniac, I might like that!

March 2nd, I will be home playing NurseNancy to my daughter recovering from Oral Surgery. My layout might be Just remember Ms. Buffy, you asked for it.

 

[KAMommy]

I'm in. I might even be sorting swaps that day!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hey, Mom....She's picking on me.

Unfortunately it is true. I have not used a single swapped item. I have however completed a paperbag album for my MIL that used up many photos. Oh, wait, I meant to say highlighted in a wonderful many photos.

I am up for all the challenges. I need to stop being a collector and start scrapping.

DH saw my list of things to do tomorrow..and he laughed at my challenge to myself to use some of my swap elements.. He told me it may throw me into some major withdrawls so if I need him too he'd take me to town for dinner!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Hey now! I have actually used quite a few of my swap items in my book from our September trip and in the "book that will not end" from the June trip. It's just that I did SO many swaps (yes, I am an addict) that the pile does not seem to decrease!

That being said, I forgot that we will be sorting the MK & AK swaps on March 2nd! That'll get added in too!

This sounds like a fun challenge, but March 2 is my DD's 7th birthday. We'll be having a Disney party - she chose the theme I promise. Anyway, it doesn't really work for scrappin a normal day.

If you already had that day planned then you should still do it. I just didn't want to pick a date and have someone plan something special just to have a fancy page. KWIM?

 

[MyLittlePiglet]

I think I'm first up so challenge me!!!!

Okay your personal challenge if you choose to except it is.... While on your disney trip collect whatever you need for a 2 page layout with the topic "Our dreams came true (when)...." This is a take off on the year of a million dreams. I'll die if this makes you get choosen to win a real year of a million dreams prize....and if you do you better take tons of photos and scrap them for us. You have 2 weeks from your return to scrap the pages. Sound good?

Anyone feel free to extend the challenge I leave March 25th. Tell me know and you know I'll scheme.... or wait until the last minute and throw it on me!!

I'm totally up for this challenge. DH and I were just talking about how we are packing our camera bag and what we are bringing. Keep us in your thoughts on March 8th. We are going to be at MK for DD's first birthday!! Hopefully we will have some Pixie Dust sent our way!

When I first saw this I thought...cool, I'll be at work...lots of pics to gross everyone out...

Now I see I'm off that day, and will prpbably be going shopping...BORING...

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Shopping is still better than laundry photos.
Think of all the cool people watching photos you could take.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Just a reminder about March 2nd... any big ideas out there yet???

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Hey Buffy, I better be the first phone call after you win one of those million dream prizes!!!!!

I missed these past few posts...good thing I posted something on here tonight and caught up!
