Scrapbooker's Secret

As the weather gets colder (at least up north) you can think back and create pages for your current month layout challenges.

What is your ideal day? This can vary considerably for each person. Maybe you want to walk on the beach, or spend a day at the spa (all expenses paid of course), a day with your girlfriends, taking your kids to Disney, a romantic dinner with a husband or significant other. Whatever it may be, document it for this layout. It can be something you have done or something you want to do. The sky is the limit, it is your day!

Where have you traveled? This could be the next town or several continents. If you have done some extensive traveling you may want to make pinpoints on a world map. If you have stuck to the USA – a map of the US would be a great starting place. You can simply make a list or use photos from favorite spots. It would be nice to include dates and journaling as well.

This month we have some fun layout challenges to work on. What are your favorite movies? You can document your current top picks or your overall top picks. You can include scanned art from the DVD case, ticket stubs or even a photo of popcorn. Get creative!

Second monthly challenge, what are your favorite holiday(s). Document your layout with pictures and journaling including why you picked this holiday. Personally my favorite is Halloween – the one holiday where you can dress up and be anything you want!

With back to school time we’ll keep this month’s page layout challenge simple. Create a page to document your education. Hopefully you have some photos and dates from when you graduated from school, participated in a certificate program etc. Document your happiest memory for each event.

This month’s page layout challenge involves 2 separate layouts.

Last month you worked on your childhood to pre-teen years. This month it is your teenage years. You can make it fun by picking out paper in colors and patterns that were popular during your teen years. What were the styles and fads? Have any of these come back? Do some creative journaling.

Your next challenge is to create a layout based on role models who have guided you or that you have looked up to. These can be people you never met, family members or even someone you read about who inspired you. One of my role models is a fictional character.

Summertime always reminds me about being a kid. This months page layout challenge is to create a layout about your childhood. This can be a single or double page layout. Grab some pics of your infancy to preteen life and journal some memories you have! Hope you are out enjoying the summer weather. Happy Scrapbooking – Autumn
