Most Challenging Passport Square?
I'm curious since the themes of the Passport squares remain the same each month, but the specific challenge changes, do you have a certain square that challenges you more than others every month?
Or does it vary based on what the challenge is?

I tend to struggle with scraplifting, so I I struggle with that each month.

I'm with you... #18 (scraplift) and #3 (featured designer) tend to be most challenging for me. Scraplift simply because I'm too "stuck" on using templates (but I'm trying to step out of my box!). And I think I struggle with featured designer because it's either another scraplift or I just overthink and dwell too much on finding "the right" inspiration. Oh, and actually #11 (wild card) is hard for me because I always wonder "what if" the layout I make is the perfect fit for one of the following month's challenges and then I can't think of anything to do, LOL.

I struggle with featured designer too. Maybe because it’s so broad I have a hard time narrowing it down and choosing a direction.

I struggle with the One Little Word one. Sometimes the word just doesn't seem relivent to my life right now, to scrap.
Also, this month had 2 scraplift challenges. While I like scraplifting, I do like a little more variety, so 2 scraplifts in one month weren't encouraging to me! The rewind challenge has been hit or miss. This whole month just seemed overly challenging, and nothing I wanted/needed to scrap seemed to fit any of the prompts. And when I tried to "fit" a layout into a prompt, I just wasn't overly happy with how my layout turned out!

I think I also struggle with the inspiration part of the featured designer.
And the Inspired By one. Too big to choose from. But I love the scraplift challenges. And the list!

I'm having a rough month in real life so right now EVERYTHING has been a challenge
I really struggle with One Little Word in the beginning of the year. Now that it's part of the monthly passport, it's carrying over every single month. It's one challenge that I try to get out of the way first so it doesn't block my scrapping for the remainder of the month. I don't know why the one word gets me, but maybe it's because it's not pertaining to me, my photos? It just takes a lot of outside of the box thinking. Like this month, I added "i can't breathe" on my son's asthma layout. But for printing, it's gone. I only add the word for the challenge requirement, but for me, it's gone. Maybe I shouldn't have admitted to it??? Another one that I struggle is lists--I have WAY too may lists in real life that I try to NEVER list in my hobby. My hobby is supposed to be fun, but lists make me more stressed because it carries over in to my real life. I got REALLY lucky that one of the kits included a brushed list that I used to "cheat" my way to meet the list requirement this month. I think I probably fudged it last month and the previous months??? I've said WAY too much so I'm just going to go to bed. Maybe tomorrow, with it being May 1 will be MUCH better!! |

It varies by month for me. I love lifts. Inspiration is so broad that it makes it easy for me. lol o.O
A few of the rewinds have been thinkers for me

If I had to chose one, I guess it would be the quote. I feel a desire to change the quote into pretty word art, and I'm not good at pretty word art. I prefer mine come pre-made.

It kinda caries, but typically it's the Journal and Quote blocks that get me each time. Journaling is something I have been working on, so though I find it difficult, I am happy for the added push and practice. I don't like using quotes on my pages so that one is a difficult challenge every time.

Yes, quotes are difficult for me as well. I also struggle with lifts, because I really always want to make multi-photo pages and most lifts seem to have only one or two. I know I can modify it to suit my own preferences, but this requires a lot of brain, lol! I usually appreciate the creative push from the challenges and the thought required to make them fit my own style, so unless I'm really not feeling it, I try to see them all as fun opportunities.

I think multi photo layouts deserve a little more attention! Not everyone is a "one and done" scrapper! And yes, I have added extra photos to a layout I want/need to scraplilft. But that only works to an extent! If the original layout had 3 photos, I can get away with adding 1 more. But it's hard to make a 5 photo page out of a 1 photo layout!

My kids are older and I'm lucky to get a photo or two here or there, so many photos on a page are a challenge for me!

LOL! Thanks You know I can be hard on myself. I love making lists, but the challenge is figuring out a really good, different way to scrap them each month.

Well, I guess I'm in good company then, Sarah!! Your scraplifts are always awesome!

Lynn, oh yes! I love pre-made word art! Not because I can't do them, but because I spend WAY too much time on them

Mine are older, too, so I totally understand that. I like doing one or two photos on a LO because they are my "spotlight" LOs. Then, I'll do a multi-photo LO later if I need to.

I love this kind of thread, it's interesting to hear how other members feel about the challenges.
I don't think I really struggle much with any of them. I love the scraplift ones. I guess the one most outside my wheelhouse would be "LIST" as I don't often use them. I tend to not journal at all or tell a complete story.

That makes sense! I understand this aspect (my older 3 are all teenagers, and it's a pain to get them to give me their phone for a few minutes so I can download their photos onto the computer.)

Scraplifting from 2009? That was back in my heyday! LOL My new pages will probably look like they're from 2009. Just getting back into the hobby after a long hiatus. So inspired! Looking forward to working on the Passport to Creativity Challenges this month. I need that to jumpstart my process.
