Week # 30 - Digitally Alter a Photograph
Week # 30 – Digitally Alter a Photograph
Elsie loves taking photographs and challenging herself by doing cool things with her photo software. She would like to challenge her readers to do the same. Try changing the color of a photo (black & white / sepia, etc), digitally slicing a photo, try different artistic effects, etc.. Time to get creative!

Week 28 - Document a Day in Your Life
Week #28 – Document a Day in Your Life
How do you spend a typical day? I know, you may think your life is just the same old, same old…but others in your family may not think so and may be fascinated with all the details that make up your daily routine! Try creating a page that chronicles a day in your life…it would be worth it!
* A Word From Elsie *
For an easy way to document a day in your life, just make a photocopy of your day planner or of a grocery list or to-do-list. I know you might think it would look messy, but think about how cool it would be if your kids discovered it one day. And, you can also make a little hidden journaling slot for it, too!

Week #27 – Scrapbook Those Silly Photos
I know you have them. Well, at least one? You know the silly photos! Maybe there is that one child or family member that constantly makes silly faces every time you try and take a photo. So dig it out…and or take a new one!

Week # 18 - Scraplift a Layout Shape
Week # 18 - Scraplift a Layout Shape
Okay…I told you it was beginning to get a little repetitive. We took a look at this challenge in week #12 and I guess we are revisiting it again this week! Looking at the example in the book, it now makes a little bit more sense to me. Look at a layout and look at the overall design. For example, if you have a layout that has one large circle on the left side of the page, one large photo to the right with the circle overlapping, and whether it be large journaling boxes or journaling strips towards the bottom.Is that hard to imagine? Try it! Take a look at a layout in our gallery or another persons gallery off the site. If you participate in this weeks challenge, I would like to see a link posted so we can see what you scraplifted.

52 Week Challenge - Weeks 16, 17, & 18
Week # 16 – Scraplift a Topic
Again, this is another example that is illustrated in the book. The example that is used in the book is the topic of how much one loves their camera, so she scraplifted that topic.
Choose ANY topic and scrap it! Maybe the challenge should had said, scraplift a SUBJECT instead! =)

Week #17 – Scraplift an Alphabetical Approach
Elsie loves how “Julie) used so many different types of letters on her page. She also loved how she customized them to fit her personal style. Experiment with letters on a scrapbook page, and make them your own by embellishing them in a way that suits your scrapbooking personality! (So…basically choose a letter in the alphabet, attempt to use several in your layout maybe as a focal point?)
Joanne
Week #18 – Scraplift a Page DesignElsie likes to challenge herself by pushing limits of what a scrapbook page can be. Blank space on a layout can be super effective. Try something different by leaving a lot of blank space on a page
