Sunday Layout Challenge

Hi Everyone - welcome to another Sunday challenge at The Studio Challenges! This week's challenge is to make a page that incorporates a list of some kind. As usual, the design team did a super job and I loved seeing all their interpretations. I'm sure you will agree there is lots of inspiration here...

Amanda

I made a layout documenting 3 things I wish for my son's future :)

Anna

I created a list of my nephew's favourite things on his 3rd Birthday.

Julie

I love making lists...so this challenge was so much fun! In case my handwriting is too small (or unreadable!) 3. take a picture 4. eat some bacon 5. read a book 6. go out for dinner 9. love a cat 10.. just be you.

I could have kept going and going...make a list, go shopping, drink iced tea, go to Starbucks, sleep in, watch an NCIS marathon... :)

Jules

When I first saw this week's challenge, I thought about creating a layout based on a list of my favourite things, but then I decided it would be more fun to create a list based on my dog's favourite things. Turns out those are (in no particular order) morning cuddles, food, walks, swimming, bones, posing for photos and evening cuddles :D

Tessa

I decided to document what a typical day in my life looks like right now. List journaling was the perfect way to get the words onto the page.

Valerie

List format journaling is definitely my favorite kind of journaling! Sometimes I just number photos and let them be the list, avoiding writing altogether, but for this page I listed my kids favorite rides at a local amusement park.This page came together super fast with the help of a sketch and a club kit.

Now it's your turn. Make your list based project and link it up to this post. You could be the lucky winner of this month's prize: a $20 gift certificate to Ella Publishing Co., publisher of inspiring eBooks for scrapbookers. 

Can't wait to see what you make!

Sunday Layout Challenge

Can you believe it's already September? That means a fresh month of challenges here at The Studio Challenges. It also means 'back to school' time in many places. For me, September always brings to mind the smell of new books and shiny new school clothes - what does 'back to school' mean to you? This week we challenge you to make a school-related page - maybe about your favorite classes, teachers, etc....your kids experience...anything school-related.
Here's a little design team inspiration to get you started....and check out our the great prize that is up for grabs this month....

Anna

Here's my take on the challenge, this is old Primary School, it's changed quite a lot since I went there but I do go and help out there with art and craft now!

Jules

I was lucky enough to spend 7 years of my school life, from 11-18, in this gorgeous old building. I don't have a photo of it, (shockingly for a scrapbooker!) so I used a postcard of a painting of the building as it was in the 19th Century - it doesn't look that much different today.

Julie

When I think of school (or back to school)...right after school supplies comes first day of school pictures. This year I had these cute little signs for the kids to hold (even my high school senior cooperated!) When I sat down to edit the pictures 80% of them had disappeared. Gone. Poof. Not in the file...nowhere. I was frustrated. I was mad. I thought bad words.

And then I made the kids hold the signs again the next morning and have a second-first day of school so I could take more pictures.

And when I went to edit THOSE pictures, 40 out of 50 had disappeared. AGAIN. So now I knew something rotten was going on. Long story short, (too late, right?) the files were just hidden...not deleted. yay! So now I have them all back, and my kids are happy not to have to pretend for a third day in a row that it's the first day of school. :)

Valerie

The first day of school is always bittersweet for me. Last year especially, since it marked the end of the pre-school days for our family. The journaling about this day is in the little pocket of my layout. 

We hope you will play along with us. Just link your projects in the comment section of this post. Up for grabs this month is a great prize: a $20 gift certificate to Ella Publishing.

You can use this gift certificate to download some of the great eBooks available by Ella. While you are there, check out the lineup for Boot Camp, a special series of  18 inspiring videos by 4 expert instructors starting on September 19.
