Default Our Take Tuesday: Volume One - Jan 2nd, 2024

Happy Tuesday Sweet Shoppers...

I hope you've taken some time to soak in our new challenge format over the past 24 hours, and that you're excited for the upcoming year of inspiration! We truly hope this new system gives YOU the flexibility to choose what you find inspiring and motivating to get those pages scrapped (and we hope the discounts and prizes are a fun bonus too)!

Like I mentioned yesterday, we'll be sharing some of our fabulous Babes' takes on this month's challenges in a weekly showcase the first 3 Tuesdays of each month. After all, something you see here may give you an idea for a page of your own, so we want to give you plenty of time to scrap it!

Today I thought I would start with a couple of our trickier challenges in the "Flashback" category. We've come up with some incredible challenges in the past, so we thought, why not put some of them back in the spotlight again?

The first challenge I want to take a closer look at is from our October 2021 Passport where we challenged you to scrap a list in a unique and creative way. Some amazing pages came out of that challenge back then, and our Babes brand new pages are equally as gorgeous and so creative, don't you think?









Up next, I wanted to show off a challenge from waaaay back in 2014 that comes from one of my favorite challenge systems EVER... our Think Outside the Box challenges! This one is from March 2nd of that year, and it is awesome and sparked some truly amazing pages from our Babes this month. I thought I'd go ahead and post the challenge image from way back then so you can see the comparison of layouts then and now. So fun! Check it out...












Finally, in case you haven't heard... our annual Going, Going... GONE! sale is going on NOW, and one of this month's challenges in the "Use Your Stash" category is to scrap with a retired product! Feel free to interpret that as "retiring" if you're scrapping this week since come Friday evening everything in the sale will officially be "retired".

Our Babes are blown away by some of the products that are retiring this time around because they're still so good as you'll see in these layouts they've created over the past two weeks...



Using Cold Hands, Warm Heart from Simple Pleasure Designs & The Nifty Pixel



Using Canada D'eh Bundle from Ponytails Designs



Using Campscape from Studio Basic & Little Butterfly Wings



Using Scrap Your Stories: Winter from Studio Flergs & Kristin Cronin-Barrow



Using Happy As Can Bee from River Rose Designs



Using Set 290: Make A List from Cindy Schneider

Whew! Ok... I think that's it for this week's edition, but SugarBabe Angie will be here next Tuesday with tons of inspiration featuring this month's This or That? options!

We can't wait to see what YOU create, so if you're playing along and make a page for one of the options above... show us your take below!

We'll choose one lucky winner at the end of the month to win a kit of their choice from Traci's store. She's currently our Featured Designer and we LOVE her new freebie, Hygge Winter, so be sure you have it in your stash while she's in the spotlight through January 12th! Like always, it's FREE when you spend $10 in the shoppe!

Happy New Year!

Robin
