Plaid

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!

Shabby Chic

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!

Flower Fancy

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!!

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!

Day 25 - Paper Frenzy

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

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!!

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 6 - Ad Inspired Challenge

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 4 - Color Pallet

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!!

Design Team Call

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!
