Default Think Outside The Box - July 27





Sweet Shoppers, while all of the fancy techniques and crazy inspiration are always fun, at the end of the day, we want to inspire you to capture your memories and tell your stories! This week's challenge is such amazing inspiration for doing just that, and while we know everyone isn't always verbose with their journaling, we'd love to see lots of journal heavy pages this week that share a little bit about where and what you are from. I absolutely adore the sample layouts from our Babes this week, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what each of you do with this week's inspiration too! So get creative, have fun and most importantly think outside the box!

As usual, you'll need to scrap a layout for this challenge and post in this thread by midnight EST on August 2nd, 2014 for your chance to win your choice of a kit from our Featured Designer Penny Springmann's shoppe!

Don't forget, even if you miss the deadline for this week's Featured Designer giveaway, you can still earn Sweet Rewards for completing all of this month's TOTB challenges too and posting in our Sweet Rewards tracker thread for the month! Coupons are automatically sent to everyone who completes an entire month of challenges, so don't forget to track your completed challenges each month so you don't miss those sweet discounts in the shoppe!

Before I go, I'm proud to announce our TOTB winner for last week's challenge...



Congrats gwany1999, you can check out this thread for details on how to claim your prize!

Thanks so much for playing along with us week after week & happy scrapping!

Robin

Phew, so relieved that I could make some time for scrapping today to get this page done early, as I won't have any time after today and I'd have lost a whole month worth of sweet rewards coz this is the last challenge of the month. Vacay season and scrapping along with these challenge doesn't always work out well for me. I still miss the old challenge format, coz I do struggle with the lack of choices and the limited time for the last challenge each month, but I'm happy that I was able to make it work once more:

I'm also on vacation and the only reason I brought my laptop was so I could do the challenge this morning so I didn't lose out on getting this month completed. Here's what I did with the inspiration:

Holy cow! This took me FOREVER! And after I finished I noticed something that I'd like to change, but it was too late to change it.

Like some others, this is not what I usually do, but I think I like how it turned out.

This took a long time....both getting all the labels lined up just right and then thinking about the words.....a designer turned my handwriting into a font, so that's my very own handwriting on there!

I took mine in a slightly different direction, but this challenge definitely pushed me to scrap something I otherwise wouldn't have!

I struggled with this layout much more than I would like to admit.

OK, I finally finished. Again, I fell in love with the orginal, in fact I did it in my art journal first, then transferred it to digi.
