October 2013 Scrapbooking Challenge-WINNER

[Debbie J]

Here is a sketch for the October Challenge. Fall colors would be nice.


I am really starting to get burned out on doing this. if anyone else would like to take over I would appreciate it. I know people are busy but the lack of participation has me bummed. I do appreciate all the people who have contributed to this challenge in the past with their entries. The last challenge I had 4 (5 with mine) people participate in 2 months. I thought this was a scrap booking forum.

Perfect layout for those wallet size photos I never seem to know what to do with!

*hanging my head in shame*

Sorry, Debbie! I have good intentions every month, but I don't always think about the challenges when I sit down to scrap. I'm guilty of not even doing the ones I post for the cyber-crops! My mojo kind of disappeared this year, and I just started to get it back. I'll put this sketch on my table tonight to follow when I scrap the next set of photos. Promise!!

Love the sketch Debbie.

I feel for you...Lack of particiapation is rampant everywhere, sorry to say. Can I whine about my Newcomers/New friends group?

I do feel bad about my lack of participation in so many of these challenges. I appreciate all that you do, and will give it my best to be more pro active.

Debbie thanks for the kick in the behinder that I need. I've been totally focused on cards while zillions of photographs go unscrapped. I will give your very cool sketch a go.

Just one warning...prepare to see a lot of birding pictures

Oh, gosh, now I feel EXTREMELY guilty. I always feel like I'm in a tailspin and out of control. But if it's any consolation, I don't think I've done a layout in months. My card making Squirrely friends have influenced me to the dark side with card making. But I am determined to go back to the Light and scrapbook like a demon for the next few months.

So I hereby promise to make a layout (or two) using this sketch. So sorry, Debbie. Please don't give up on me.

Oooo.... I just had an idea after looking at Debbie's Boston trip pages. I still have a large quantity of CS stuff sitting around and several of those kits used circular diecuts! Time to break out Refresh.... I know there were some of those for that kit!

I think Henna had some as well as Castaway? Pity I intermixed everything, hahahaha.

Just look at the die cuts... which was all I was going to do!

[troublesmom]

I feel guilty also. I have hundreds of photos here that I need to get scrapped and just can't seem to get "with it" right now. Every time I say Im going to do one something keeps me tied up. I hope to do this one and the sketch is great.

I just don't use sketches, which I said from the beginning. The one time I tried it irritated me so much that I said "never again."

So what is your idea of a scrapbooking challenge? I am open to ideas.

here is my take, sort of looks like the sketch (sorry not so fally colors)

[ScrappinJen]

Love the layers. Funny. I was just about to type, love the fall colors, when I looked up and saw that you said not fall-y colors. Whaaa? Looks like fall where I sit.
