Week #46 Winner!

Week #46 Weekly Challenge!

If you've never used an "Embellishment Cluster" on a layout, then you really must give it a go. Okay, I made up the phrase, "Embellishment Cluster", but you see this all of the time on layouts. An "embellishment cluster" is a grouping of 3 or more different smaller embellishments adhered close together in a cluster to form one larger eye-pleasing unit. This is a great technique to use if you need to add visual weight to a layout and you have several small coordinating embellishments that you can use to do this. It's a fun way to use up bits and pieces from your stash, and it gives an artsy feel to any layout.

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Create a layout with an "embellishment cluster" of at least 3-5 embellishments.

Upload your layout to the following folder by 9:00 a.m. CST on Monday, November 23rd to be entered into the drawing: WEEK #46 CHALLENGE FOLDER

Here are a few examples of a "embellishment clusters" on a layout.

Week #45 Weekly Challenge!

As scrapbookers, our layouts often focus on the people that we love. We fill our scrapbooks with photos and memories of our family and friends, and we often forget to include layouts about ourselves. So, this week, your challenge is to make sure that you get a little bit of "you" into your scrapbooks.

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Create a layout with at least one photo and some interesting facts or tidbits about YOU!

Upload your layout to the following folder by 9:00 a.m. CST on Monday, November 16th to be entered into the drawing: WEEK #45 CHALLENGE FOLDER

Check out our October Idea Gallery for several layout ideas with an "All About Me" theme. And, for lots of "All About Me" journaling prompts, be sure to visit our Goodie Giveaway threads on our message board. Each day's thread features a question of the day for you to answer. Choose a few questions, type up your answers and use these lists to form the basis of a layout that features YOU!

Here is a layout that I completed recently using (7) lists and one photo.
