Scrapbooking? How do you motivate yourself and still enjoy the process??

(& a layout share or two)

A new challenge over at MS – Rock Your Blog. Giving us prompts to blog about. This week’s prompt –  Scrapbooking? How do you motivate yourself and still enjoy the process??

How do I motivate myself? hmmm forum challenges & sketches mainly. I usually find a challenge or a sketch (sometimes even a layout in a gallery or mag) sparks an idea that I have to scrap. Other times it’s just an element

I find I need to organise time to scrap otherwise I never get anything done LOL The knowledge I’m creating something for future generations (& kids when we have them) keeps me motivated (no matter how discouraged I get when I get knocked backed after submitting layouts – all that’s important is that I like my layouts right?)

Anywho onto the layouts. MS had their monthly Cyber crop over the weekend. I missed a fair bit cause I’ve had a shocking migraine (ended up in bed on Sunday because of it) managed to get four challenges done thou.

Challenge 1 – scrap a day in your life…incorporating a list

created using Prima Paintables from Prima Hybrid (I’m LOVING these)

Challenge 2 – produce a layout using both hearts and flowers, but the hearts have to be HANDMADE

(I love this pic) Made the heart & flowers using chippie, wedding dress material, felt flowers & heart brads.

Challenge 3 – you need to make a card using the word LOVE and something red as an embellishment

Challenge 4 – the challenge is to make and decorate a gift box (using a template)

Okies that’s all from me today.  Have a great day!
