The Price of...

This one's for the records...scrap a lo about how much things cost today. Like gallons of milk, gas, movie tickets, candy, soda, CD's. I am certain we have all heard how much a soda cost back when our parents were kids and were amazed.

Scrapping the Music

This blog is always full of fun and funky inspiration! Drop by and see what they're doing with this week's song What I Like About You.

Outtakes

Sometimes it's so hard to get that perfect pic of wiggly kids or laughing adults do a lo using the "out takes" from a bunch of photos

Here's one from Shanna

Use a word from a foreign language on your LO (one you don't speak)

Scrapping the Music

This is such a fun site, lots of inspiration at Scrapping the Music! This week's challenge is to get inspired by the song Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight. You can see what their dt did with it HERE and you'll find the lyrics HERE.

Non-holiday

Make a LO or project that uses some holiday embellishments/papers but that ISN'T a holiday themed project!

Here's one from Ashley

Whitespace

Do a LO using white or negative space.

from Wikipedia...
White space should not be considered merely 'blank' space - it is an important element of design which enables the objects in it to exist at all, the balance between positive (or none-white) and the use of negative spaces is key to aesthetic composition.

Happy Mother's Day!

Well in honor of me having the entire day free of kids to do whatever I want, let's scrap about something you love doing - non kid related!!
Have a great day!

Lyric

Use some of the lyrics from U2s Some Days on your LO. It can be the title, journaling or just a quote.

Some Days

Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor

Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others

Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others

Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy

Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others

Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Fav Photo

Here's a challenge from 2 Peas for you..

This week's challenge is to scrap a photo that you've been hoarding! Tell me I am not the only one who holds on to photos, waiting for the perfect product to come out, wanting to showcase it perfectly! I've held on to this photo for over 3 years. :) Let's see some of your favorite photos that you've been hoarding!

Outside Inspiration

Get inspired by something non scrappy. Be it the flowers popping up outside, a sign in town, an ad, a piece of fabric, a photo... the possibilities are endless!

And here's Emily's inspired LO...

I was inspired by my tulips starting to poke through the ground, I'm so ready for Spring after this long winter, I can't wait for nicer weather! So I dug out some pictures of planting flowers last Spring to scrap!

Cluster

Do a LO where you cluster your embellies. There can be a big cluster or a small one or multiple clusters. Here's a tutorial to give you the idea
