Sweet Shoppe SugarBabe
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the September 12th "SugarFree" scrapbooking challenge! This particular challenge dates back to 2007-2009; the SugarFree challenge was a journal heavy challenge that focused on the less sweet side of life.
Our prompt for today is The Uncooperative Subject.
For this challenge, you will scrapbook a layout (in any size you'd like) with at least one photograph and at least five (5) sentences of journaling. You are welcome to include more photos or as much journaling as you'd like, but you must have at least 1 photo and 5 sentences to qualify for this challenge.
As life artists, we often find ourselves faced with uncooperative subjects, particularly when it comes to capturing their image in a photograph. The "uncooperative" part can look different depending on the subject: babies and toddlers who scream and cry, older children who simply won't cooperate, teenagers who don't want their photo taken, a spouse who would rather be doing something else and makes it clear with their facial expressions, pets who won't look at the camera ... the list goes on and on.
So dig through your photo library and come up with the outtakes from a past shoot where you had one or more uncooperative subjects. Use the journaling space to do one of the following:
Here is the layout I created for this challenge, using images from a rough photo shoot I did for my best girlfriend and her family a decade and a half ago. Believe it or not, the grumpy little man in these photos is a Senior in high school this year!
Here is LeeAndra's take on the challenge:
And here is what Biancka scrapbooked with this challenge in mind:
PLEASE NOTE: Even though all three of us focused our layouts on children who were being uncooperative, please don't feel like you can't do this challenge if you don't have littles in your life. Uncooperative subjects come in all shapes and sizes! Maybe it's a grumpy adult who didn't want to be photographed. Maybe it's a pet you were trying to capture who was moving too fast or wouldn't hold still. Perhaps it's the weather that ruined your sunset photos, or maybe it's even yourself if you needed to shoot a selfie but you just weren't in the mood. Get creative, and show us those uncooperative subjects in your life!
Challenge Summary:
Remember, we're taking things a little slower this month to catch our breath after our Summer Scrap-A-Thon! There are NO daily deadlines for this month's challenges. Simply scrap along and update your post in this month's tracker thread to claim your Sweet Rewards and enter to win this month's $50 gift certificate giveaway!
We look forward to seeing your sugar-free layout and reading all about your uncooperative subject!

So dig through your photo library and come up with the outtakes from a past shoot where you had one or more uncooperative subjects. Use the journaling space to do one of the following:
- tell us what was happening in the photos; who was unhappy and why were they being uncooperative.
- talk to us as the photographer: express your frustration with the uncooperative subject. Vent away!
- use this past experience to plan an upcoming shoot. What did you learn from working with this uncooperative subject, and what will you approach differently this next time around?
