Default Need more bingo squares

so like many of you this is my therapy. These last 2 weeks have been the toughest all year and 2 days ago turned darker in a way I never saw coming. So why am I telling y'all this?
I filled my BINGO, completed the Hygee...and now.... I am sitting here.

No family function or presents and reminded every 5 minutes that the holidays aren't going away just because mine did. So.. I need YALL to help.

I need bingo squares to last me through Dec 31. Prefer to steer away from holiday-ish and I usually scrap photoless, recycled favorite pics or I "borrow" something nifty from Pinterest.

I am just not gifted in the creative thinking dept and really need someone to tell me what to scrap. And I need to scrap to get through this next week

Ashley, I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. Distractions are sometimes a very good thing! Did you do blackout all year? If not, you could go back and do some of the squares from other months.

Thinking of you and hoping that the next season is so much better than you could even imagine!!

Lots of hugs for you!

Second Tammy re other prompts from bingo. There is a folder on Pinterest with the last few years of bingo cards.

Also think outside the box challenges from 2014...

Wow, there is a lot of inspiration on our SSD boards on Pinterest... I haven’t been out there lately.

I'm sorry things are really rough right now, Ashley! I sent you a message on Facebook. Please reach out me hon!

As far as scrapbooking, and using it for therapy, I'd say start at the beginning of Bingo prompts and redo them. Maybe as far as a twist, try combining two challenges as one.

Like for this month, put together #9 - Color Challenge: Red and White with #20 - Currently. Even if you have to close your eyes and point to two random ones if you can't figure out which will go together.

When all else fails, you can always try scraplifting a layout in the gallery

y'all are so awesome. Thank you for the internet hugs, love and good vibes. And I'm not just saying that; I genuinely appreciate it.

I didn't even THINK about the older cards. U didn't get into it until March or April so that's perfect!!

I hope y'all have an awesome holiday and create good memories. Be safe and I can't wait to see the layouts y'all do from this week!!

Edit: I didn't realise how much I use the word yall until I deleted it 3x and still had 3 more. Lol

I'm sorry you're having a rough time, and I hope things get better soon! I'm glad you found some older Bingo cards to keep you distracted until the new challenge system debuts.

Oh Ashley! I'm so sorry you are going through such a hard time right now! I'll be praying for you that these next few weeks are filled with meaningful things to keep your mind off the hard times! ((HUGS)) We all love you and enjoy seeing your smiling face here at SSD!

I like the ideas of scrapping past Bingo challenges! Another fun activity is to go through the gallery and scraplift other layouts. If you don't know where to start, feel free to start with those of us who posted in this thread!

Another thing that could cheer you up and make you feel "love", is to comment in the gallery. I know you want to scrap, but sometimes leaving love for others makes you feel better too!

Praying for you as you go through the next couple weeks!

Including my cyber hugs Ashley. Distraction and/or work are a good way to get through hard times, so scrap therapy sounds like a great plan. <3

I'm sorry this is a rough holiday for you Ashley

I was thinking that perhaps you could scrap your "hopes" - find photos of things that are related to your goals/hopes/dreams and scrap them. Or just scrap photos of things you love, things you're good at, places you've been and you can tell the stories behind them.

p.s. your siggie is gorgeous!
