A new challenge

Every month the design team member over here at treasured post a challenge. This month Mette’s challenge struck a chord with me so I was super excited to participate. Her challenge is to scrap with a non human subject. I have had a picture that I’ve been wanting to scrap since my son’s first day of school last September…and this provided me the perfect opportunity.
I wanted to keep this layout simple as the subject and the idea behind it is simplistic. I came home after dropping my little guy off at kindergarten for the very first time…and there sitting at his spot at the table were his tea cup and his toy…so the journaling is all about how big that little toy felt with my sons new absence. Something so small, was so overwhelming…because of the idea behind it. For me the toy was a symbol…a picture in time of a very significant moment in our family life. And the elephant transparency just went perfectly with my concept for this layout. Yay for the treasured kits!
So anyhow…this was just a little piece of me that I wanted to share with all of you…thanks for looking:)

June Challenges!

Every month the treasured design team comes up with new challenges. Then at the end of the month winners are picked and goodies are mailed out.

This month my challenge is “alphlicious.”
So get your alphas out and turn them into some thing “licious”. Do something to them…draw on them, color them, cut them out, “stickle” them. You name it! If you can think of it, you can do it. this month, for the word “sisterly” I took the 7 gypsies rub-on alphas, put them on colored paper, cut out and the stickled them. For the word “love” I applied it to the patterned paper and the added diamond glaze. So go crazy with your alphas this month and show us what you come up with. Try something new or share a tried and tested technique…we want to see it:)

The other challenges are amazing too. Make sure to check them out.

We challenge you!!!

Hello everyone, good Tuesday morning!  Have you been to the forum lately???  Yes, the new scrapbooking kit has been revealed and also the new challenges have been revealed as well!

I love a good challenge, and I love looking at what all my DT mates are doing, so if you are a challenge lover like me, come check out our special Challenge Forum to see what everyone is up to.  And if you would like some awesome inspiration on how to use the March Scrapbooking kit, you don't want to miss the gallery.

Since I (Eva) am writing this post, I thought I would share about my challenge to entice you to come and play along.  So what is it???? Well, if you saw the below post about all the gorgeous handmade flowers, that is basically my challenge.  Create a card, layout or a 3D project using handmade  flowers.  I even shared an awesome link with tutorials on how to make them, so you don't even need to search.

And for ideas, I thought I would share two of my cards I made using handmade flowers.  One is stamped and one is made of papers.  

 

  

Well, hope these inspire you to make some pretty flowers and also to come check out our challenge forum to see what challenges would you like to play along!  And don't forget our current We love our Members contest as well!

Have a fabulous day!

Monthly Challenges!! Have you checked them out???

The TS design team each host a challenge each month! There are always fun things going on at the Forums. Not only are they a great place to find inspiration, but some challenges offer prizes too! Just jump right on in, create a layout, upload it to the Treasured Scrapbooking Gallery and link your project in the appropriate challenge thread! This month the following challenges are going on right now!

Morag’s Scrap Outside The Box Challenge!It's easy to stay within your comfort zone when scrapping, so for this challenge, you'll need to try out something different on a layout. It doesn't have to be wacky or wild, just something you wouldn't normally try.



Carole’s 10 in 2010 ChallengeTo welcome in a new decade my challenge for you is to create a layout that includes ten of something. It can be ten photos, buttons, tags, flowers, ribbon, etc., whatever your heart desires or you have a ton of and need to use up For my example I used ten different red and white ribbons covering the hearts on my layout. It may not look like it in the photo, but trust me, there are ten different ribbons there. Have fun, can't wait what everyone comes up with!

Eva’s Bird ChallengeIn looking through January holidays, I found that January 5th is a National Birds day, so I bring you my January challenge, which is to create a card, layout or any kind of a project with birds on it. How easy is that???? I created a card with birds on it as an inspiration. Hope you enjoy it.


Julie's White Sale Challenge
This time of year its all about the commercials on TV, LOL, seriously where do they come up with all of this stuff?! Gold coins, Nutrisystem, exercise, sales ect.
I decided to focus on the White Sale that is popular during this time of the year and thats what I based my challenge on.

Its super easy and is very striking, what you ask?

Create a layout with.........what else, A WHITE BACKGROUND!!!

Ginger’s Opposite Lift Challenge
January 24th is Opposites Day, so in honor of this special day ( ) I would like to challenge you to lift a fellow TS scrapper, then take their layout and do the opposite! For example, I lifted the very talented Daisymeh (Megan) and switched it up. I flipped it over and used opposite ends, then used cardstock where she used patterned paper, and used pp where she used cardstock. I used a landscape photo where she used a portrait photo. You can make this as easy or as complicated as you would like -- just try to do the "opposite."

Jenni’s Favorite 2009 Photo(s) challenge
My challenge to you this month is to find a few favorites and scrap them!!! I have loved looking through my 2009 photos and decided it would be fun to put together a summary page of all my favorites. Here's what I came up with:

Elizabeth’s January Home Challenge
Because we have a new home {well it was built in March and we've been in it ever since! This is our very first home} I thought what better way to ring in the New Year by doing a challenge about our homes.

What does "home" mean to you? Share with us about your home in a layout about just what that means for you!

Lisa’s 2010 “Focus” Challenge
I am very bad about doing me pages so I thought I would do a challenge that requires us to make a "me" page. I am not big on resolutions, but prefer to identify things I want to focus on. So I challenge you to do a page on something you want to focus on in 2010.

I want to be more mindful of the gifts God gives us. My focus page is a reminder of that.


So come on - Jump right in - We cannot wait to see what you create!!
