Scrap Your Challenges

Hi everyone!  Meg here with this month’s challenge!

If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’s that we all have our struggles.  What amazes me though is that so often we are ashamed to share them with others.  This is a shame, because if we did, we might learn something from one another, and help each other to conquer our struggles and fears.

That’s why this month we are asking you to scrap about a struggle in your life.  This can range from a bad habit to something you’ve been struggling with since your childhood.  Anything you feel comfortable with sharing, we would love to see what sort of layout you can come up with!

Here are your guidelines:

• Scrap a layout about something you struggle with.
• Focus on journaling in your layout – share at least 10 lines with us.
• Photos do not have to be included in your layout.
• Use predominantly dark or bold colors.
• Use a repetitive theme — same element throughout the layout, repetitive language in journaling, etc.

Prefer hybrid? Here’s the hybrid twist on the challenge:

• Create a journal for recording your feeling, struggles, and emotions. (Check out one of Suzy’s latest posts for a tutorial on how to create a hybrid notebook.)

Here’s a sample layout from QT Sherly

And a sample notebook from SuzyQ using No Monsters Allowed:

You have until April 30th at 11:59 PM EST to enter your layout or journal.   Simply leave us a comment with a link to your creation. And remember, everyone who participates will receive a 25% off coupon to SuzyQ Scraps’ store … and one winner will receive a $10 coupon.

Happy scrapping!

P.S. Suzy is out of town this week, so she’ll be choosing the winner from last month’s challenge when she gets back.
