Challenge yourself

[Gabi]

Everyone of us has her own comfort zone. Why not to try to step out for there and do something crazy and different?
For example - I was always afraid of using pattern papers. I love to see layouts using them but I didn't know how to use them. Since yesterday :) I've decided to change it, to step out from my comfort zone and I scrapped and I LOVE how my page with pattern paper turned out. You can see it here (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=72031&ppuser=7576).

So I'm challenging you to do something different what you usually do. If you are not strong in writing a journaling, let's try to do a page full of journaling. Or are you afraid of bold, bright colors? Heritage or altered art? Or is your style clean and simple? So let's do a LO with a LOT of embellies.

Come over and tell us what you are afraid of and try to change it. You will see that you will love the result. And than come back, edit your post and show us how you have challenged yourself. :)

Have fun!!!

Oh, you're reading my mind Gabi - this is just too freaky.
I'm working on a layout right now (well I started it last night) that has way more embellishments and flowers than I'm used to working with. I'll post it when I'm finished.

I am afraid of flowers. Really afraid. But one of my designers makes loads of them, and really, I had to try and use them on my layout. I'm not quite sure about the result, but it's a breakthrough! :clap::clap::clap:

I am afraid of lots of "white" space...
And here is my LO:

Gabi, this is a great idea !!!
I'm really bad with journaling, i really don't like to read what i wrote so i just write a few words on page, never more.
But i was thinking of making a page with a lot of journaling on it to thank people in my family that showed us support when we were having a hard time a few weeks ago ...
This challenge is the opportunity, i think ... Let's see what i come up with !!!

Dani and Lea, you did awesome. Congrats on stepping out of your comfort zone so boldly! :)

Mine was to use lots of elements (or flowers) on a layout. I'm not used to using lots.
Here's mine - Butterfly Dreams (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=72219&ppuser=5977)
