No Scrap Pack This Month :( No Worries I'll Make Of My Own

So with no scrap pack to do this month from better scrapbooking I am left going now what??? what scrapbooking should I do this month?? The scrap packs I get every month sort of answer that question for me!!

So I have decided to make my own and really challenge myself. Out of my own stock I have made my own pack. I have made it so all the papers are different, everything matches yet nothing does, if you know what I mean!!

I have also set myself some rules for this too, can’t make a challenge and cheat can we!!

 Homemade scrap pack rules

1: The paper cannot all be from the same paper pack or line

2: Must have 10 sheets of paper, NO more

3: To get 5 layouts from the pack

4: I can use paint, ink, stamps, pens, markers and alphas from stock

5: Apart from said items above, I can only use the emmbiles in the pack

So this is my pack. See what I mean about everything matching yet nothing!! Anyway as you can see this is quite a mix of different brands colors and patterns!! Watch this space I am going to start wotrking on this very soon!!

February Challenges At Better Scrapbooking.

February Online Challenges

Layout challenge - Back to School

All our children are starting or started back at school this week. What a fantastic excuse for a layout. Take a photo of your child/ren in their school uniforms and school bags outside of their school (how embarrassing, but it's for scrapbooking so it's ok) and create a layout. If you children really object what about a layout of you back in your school days. Have fun with this.

Photo Challenge - Natural Frames

Take a photo with the subjects framed by something, like a child in a field framed by the long grass. Here a chance to get creative with your camera.

Project Challenge - Valentines Day Gift

Yes Valentine's Day is coming up, why not make something for someone you care about. Take a photo and upload it for this challenge.

Card Challenge - A card to cheer someone up.

Make a card that you think would cheer up someone. Then take a photo and upload it. Then give it to someone you think needs cheering up (pick me, pick me, just kidding)
