365 Scrapbook Layouts

Marker Mayham!

2010-07-27T13:57:00.000-07:00

Today I'd like you to use markers on your page! Doodle, color, write, whatever you want/need to do to incorporate those markers onto your page! That is the main rule. If you'd like to make it a little harder, add in a little bit of hidden journaling and at least two colors. Then use four photos! Have fun and good luck!

Plaid

2010-07-26T05:07:00.001-07:00

Today I'd like you to make a layout that has plaid on it. There is no other "rule than this. For some of you this may be an easy challenge and for some of you it may be challenging. But that's why it's called a challenge! So get scrapping!

Getting Outside Your Comfort Zone

2010-07-24T03:10:00.000-07:00

Today I have a new and probably harder challenge for you. I'm asking you to jump outside of your comfort zone... if you normally have trouble sewing on your layouts, I challenge you to sew. If you have a ton of rub-ons that you don't really feel comfortable using, I'm challenging you to use some of those up. Distressing not really your thing? Well try it! Maybe you'll like it!

Card Inspiration

2010-07-22T07:34:00.001-07:00

Today's challenge is a little different. Today I challenge you to create a page that is inspired by a card or a card sketch. It can be any one you so choose, just be sure to share it with us so we can see how you were inspired! Good luck.

Shabby Chic

2010-07-17T04:36:00.001-07:00

Here's a challenge for all of you ladies out there that like the look of shabby chic, but you are intimidated by the look. I challenge you to try it! You know you want to! And for those of you that are looking at this right now thinking: "Well I already do shabby chic, so this isn't much of a challenge for me." Then this is just a challenge to complete a page! Just do it!

Star Factor

2010-07-13T06:54:00.000-07:00

I know you know someone who has star quality!! I know I do! Whether it's a friend, a member of your family, or your 3 year old son, let's use up those silly pictures that show definite star quality. Use 5 stars on your page, and and least 5 patterns. NO CARDSTOCK! There's plenty of challenges out there for no patterned paper, so right now I'm challenging you to use no cardstock! Sound like fun? Then get scrapping!

Patriotic Party!!

2010-07-12T06:37:00.000-07:00

I know that the 4th of July is long over, but I'm sure your guys memories are still fresh in your minds, and my guess is that even if you've started scrapping those pics already, you couldn't be finished by now!! So our goal today is to at least START scrapping those patriotic pictures! So today I have some guidelines for this. Not only do you need to use a patriotic picture, you need to use the colors red, white, and blue, and you also need to have 5 brads on your page. Hope you have fun!

Flower Fancy

2010-07-11T04:39:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I'm back again with a brand new challenge! Today I challenge you to create a scrapbook page using at least 2 homemade flowers/rosettes and at least 1 store bought flower. The colors are completely up to you, but you must use 1 photo. For some of you this may be a challenge, but that is the point, isn't it? Okay... so get scrapping!

Recipe Challenge!!

2010-07-10T05:24:00.001-07:00

Okay everybody!! I'm back and here's a new challenge for today: use the recipe that I give you to create a layout. The recipe is:

- 3 photos
- 5 patterned papers
- 7 brads
- 2 chipboard elements
- at least 50 words of journaling

Let's see what we can create today!! Hopefully later on today, I'll get some entries from the design team and I will edit this post to include them for inspiration. Also, I'm going to be working on my page so keep an eye out for that!

Here We Go!!!

2010-07-02T09:06:00.000-07:00

Alright. Let's take a deep breath here. I'm sorry that I haven't been doing too good with the blog lately, but I just contacted the design team and I'm hoping that I will be able to start up again on July 10. Even if something happens with the design team, I'll do a layout and post that. No matter what, I'm going to do this!! Thanks for being patient with me!

4/29/2010 - Spring Fever

2010-04-29T14:07:00.000-07:00

I'm so glad that spring is in the air! I really have spring fever! Use something that reminds you of spring on a page! It could be rain, flowers, sunshine, grass... ANYTHING!!

Day 25 - Paper Frenzy

2010-03-25T05:33:00.000-07:00

Use at least 2 pieces of patterned paper that have been shaped with deco edger scissors. You need to use 5 pieces of paper in general and all in a monochrome scheme!! Sound fun? Ready, Set, Cut!!

Day 9 - Circle Fun

2010-01-09T08:54:00.000-08:00

This challenge is for you to make a page that has at least 5 circles on the page. It is not that many when you think about it, and these circles can be layered, partial circles, whole circles, giant one, or tiny dots drawn with a pen. Whatever you do with this challenge, it must have at least 5 circles, it may have more if you like but it is not necessary. So get started!!!

Day 8 - All About Me!!

2010-01-08T08:47:00.000-08:00

Today's challenge is to make a layout that is all about you!! You need to make it a monochrome in your favorite color, and it needs to describe you; your faves, where your dream vacation would be, your style, your hobbies, etc. You can use anything you want to make this; there is no limitation on embellies, paper, or journaling... just let yourself go and make a page that is ALL ABOUT YOU!!

Day 7 - Pretty in Purple

2010-01-07T05:24:00.000-08:00

I was just thinking the other day about how people say pretty in pink, while somebody can be pretty in purple too! Purple is a recent favorite color of mine for scrapbooking... even though for other things lime lime green is. Just last night I went to Pat Catans to spend my christmas and birthday money and I made a major investment... a heat embossing tool. I have been looking at those little heat guns for quite a while now and finally chose to go ahead and make the purchase! If any of you have a heat gun and embossing powders, you need to use some heat embossing on your layout. If you don't, use at least 5 brads. Most of your layout should be purple, but you may have less than 4 items that are not purple on your layout!! Go ahead!! Get started!!

Day 6 - Ad Inspired Challenge

2010-01-06T05:49:00.000-08:00

It is the time for an ad inspired challenge. Every once in a while, I'll throw one of these challenges out there for all of you! First,I'll tell you how it works! I will post a picture of an ad that inspires me and then it is up to you to create a page using is as inspiration. It could be the colors, or the way they use the text. It might even be the placement of the elements featured in the ad. Here is your ad:

An example would be that just because today's ad features emerald green as the main color,that does not mean that you HAVE to use emerald green in your layout!! It can, if the color is what inspires you, but if you were more inspired by, say, the number of elements,by all means use that as your inspiration!!

Here is Sarah's layout!!

Day 5 - Recipe Challenge

2010-01-05T05:43:00.000-08:00

Today the challenge is what I like to call a recipe: a list of items that you can use no more and no less of. For example, if the recipe calls for 5 flowers, don't use 4 or 6. Use 5. So without further ado, here is your recipe. You need to use two pieces of patterned paper, two sheets of cardstock, three flowers, and a bow. You can interpret these things any way you like... the flowers could be silk, paper (like prima), stickers, stamps, or even cutouts. And one last thing - if I say to use two sheets of patterned paper, you can use just a small part of each piece (you don't have to use the whole thing)

Day 4 - Color Pallet

2010-01-04T13:17:00.000-08:00

Today I chose to do a color pallet for a few specific reasons... one is that color is the hardest part of making a layout in my opinion! After the color is chosen, my page flies by... so I decided to give color a try! The colors are hot pink, lime green, soft pink, white and black!! So get started...

And here is Amy's layout!!

Day 3 - Sunday Sketch

2010-01-03T13:12:00.000-08:00

I have decided that on every Sunday, I will post a sketch for all of you to use. Here is today's sketch:

You can do whatever you like with the sketch... copy it exactly, change it a little, change it a lot, or even choose a single part that inspires you and blow it up!! It's all up to you!

Day 2 - Winter Fun

2010-01-02T05:58:00.000-08:00

Even though December is now over, I want to do a layout with snow. Dig out those pictures of snowball fights, snowmen, or even what your yard looks like after it snows. The layout needs to have at least three photos, but other than that the layout is yours to direct. Make sure to tell your friends and to invite everyone that you know that scrapbooks!!

And here is Judith's first layout!

Day 1 - New Year's Inspiration

2010-01-01T07:28:00.000-08:00

Today your challenge is to make a layout that is based on New Year's Eve pics. You could use pictures from last night, or any other year you took pictures. Last night I didn't take pictures (I had my camera, but I forgot) so you can just journal about how much you enjoyed it!! Put a post on your blog with the result and then post it on here through the Mr. Linky Wizard.

And Our Design Team is...

Design Team Call

2009-12-23T07:57:00.000-08:00

I am looking for 6 crafty people that would like to be on a design team. I am looking for people who think they could accomplish the task of creating a layout twice a week, perhaps even daily. You will be assigned a day of the week, and , the day before, I will give you a challenge. You need to complete a page by evening, and send me a picture via e-mail so I can post it the next day. To apply, send 3 or 4 of your best layouts to jellybeansdesign@yahoo.com along with a short (5 or 6 sentence) bio about yourself - how long you've been scrapping, your age, and any other things you would like to include. I also would like to know if you are current on any other design teams. This does not effect you entry at all, I'm just curious. Also, a link to any message boards or galleries you post your work to would be helpful as well. Looking forward to seeing all of your work!

Welcome!!

2009-12-23T06:28:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the first ever daily scrapbooking blog! I can't truthfully say that this was my own idea, because I got the inspiration from the 365 cards blog and it kind of evolved from there. Each day I will post a new challenge and it is up to you to make a layout using the inspiration provided. There may be a sketch challenge one day and an ad inspired challenge the next. It might be to make a monochromatic layout in a certain color or there might be a color pallet. On another occasion it may be just a word. You never know with this! The first challenge will start January 1st, but until I can find some sponsors, there won't be very big prizes. Make sure to tell your friends!
