Challenge #2 - Milestones!

Scrap a Milestone! This summer my oldest daughter reached a significant milestone - she turned 10; so now she's into birthdays that are double - digits!! My challenge to you this week is to scrap a milestone - it could be a first, 10th or 80th birthday, a college graduation, or maybe a first communion. Please send your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com by the 25th for your chance in the drawing. Remember...we need 5 participants to be able to give out a fabulous prize...so tell your friends to play along too!! Sweet Pea Girl Vivian

Challenge #1 - Go LARGE!!

No not you personally, but it's what I'm challenging you to do on your next layout.  I could be an enlarged picture, a tag, the title, a number, or even a letter.  I chose to use a very large letter B for this layout all about my husbands 5th birthday.  Have fun, and I can't wait to see what you take to enormous proportions!  Remember to send your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com by the 25th.  Have fun..sweet pea girl Nicole.

Challenge #3 - Be Squared!

**jenn here...I am SO sorry Sweet Pea'ers that you have been challengeless for a couple of weeks!  Totally my fault!  I've been gone the last two weekends...and then Tuesday I was going to post this challenge but sometimes with my dial up I can't get the compose post page to pop up.   So I got frustrated and gave up.  And now...it's 3:00am and I just remembered!!  So here it is...better late than never right??  Okay...enough excuses...here is your challenge!!**

hi everyone!!  My challenge for you this week is simple.  It is, obviously, natural to always cut your pictures into rectangles, but how often do you cut them into squares?

 

It is a great way to be able to fit more pictures on a page, to cut out some negative space, and to just switch things up a bit!

 

SO my challenge for you this month is to have atleast 2 photos cut into perfect squares.

 

Easy enough??  Can't wait to see your creations!!  Sweet Pea Girl Abbie

Challenge # 2 - Just Hide It!

When I started this LO I had thought to put all the pictures of my brother and new sister in law in a nice grouping, but I really wanted to highlight my very favourite one. So, to keep the focus on that picture, I "hid" the extra pictures in a mini file folder. So that's my challenge to you this week - to "hide" something on your LO! It could be extra pictures or journaling that you want to keep private. Please send your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com  by the 25th for your chance in the drawing.  Remember...we need 5 participants...so tell your friends to play along too!!  :) Sweet Pea Girl Vivian

Challenge #1 - Spending your time...

Since it's almost the 25th I thought this would be perfect as our first challenge for July!!  :)

How do you spend your time?  Is there something that you do just for you?  Whether it's reading, exercising, scrapbooking, or even taking a nap - document it!  It's might seem so mundane, but as time goes by it will be so fun to look back on and remember what you do right now that's just for you.  Can't wait to see what YOU do with your free time!!  Sweet Pea Girl Nicole.

Please send your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com for your chance in the drawing.  Remember...we need 5 participants...so tell your friends to play along too!!  :) 

Challenge #4 - just a challenge!!

I just loved this bright pink paper from Basic Grey.  My challenge this month is to pick a color, any color, and create a monochromatic LO with some handstitching on it.  Sweet Pea Girl Heather

 

remember to send your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com.  And please remember to keep your files at 500x500 pixels. Thanks so much!! 

Challenge #3 - Paper Piecing

 I love creating "themed" pages, but I don't always like using over-the-top paper, stickers, ribbon.... to do so. One of my favorite ways to create a theme way "with style" is to paper piece. What else is nice about doing this, is you can create a page about ANY theme with ANY paper:) On the page below, I used google image to look up a picture of a sand castle. I then used that as a guide to create my own pattern for my castle. I used foam dots and inking to make the different layers pop. SO, my challenge for you this week is to give this a try!! It's fun and addicting!  Sweet Pea Girl Abbie

Please email your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com by the 25th of the month.  And a HUGE favor please!!  PLEASE resize your layouts to be no more than 500x500 pixels.  Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but I have dial up so it takes forever and a day for me to load them!!  Thanks SO much for your consideration!!  :)  Jenn

Challenge #2 - Just be SILLY!!

Hey Sweet Pea'ers.  :)  Jenn here.  :)  Hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC summer!!  Have you all received your June kit yet?  Is it not just the FUNNEST kit ever!!  I had SO much fun with this kit...in fact I'm still creating with it!!  Anyway....that has nothing to do with the challenge now does it?? 

Your challenge (yes..posted late but that's another story!!)....is to Just be SILLY!!  Take those silly photos and scrap them.  These ones are of my son and I...and it was SO fun just making silly faces...we were giggling the entire time and it really was such a special moment for the two of us since already...at only 9..he is very anti mom.  :)  Hope you have fun being silly and I can't wait to see what you create with the pictures!!

Remember to send your layouts to me at jenns@sweetpeascraps.com so I can upload to our gallery AND put your name in the drawing...remember...the new summer rules are:  prizes awarded if 5 scrappers participate...so get your friends playing too!!  :) 

Challenge #1 - Keep it Basic

When I think of back to basics I think of all the things in my life that I count on as being constant, always there, always the same, things I can't survive without. The quote I found was "stick to the basics, hold onto your family and friends - they will never go out of fashion."
My challenge is to create a LO about something in that is a basic in your life or that you would like to be a basic in your life.  Sweet Pea Girl Heather
