The Studio - March 21 progressive scrap

 Last month I discovered the progressive scrap at The Digital Scrapping Studio and decided to check it out again this month.... they provide you with bits of the kit each day and instructions on how many items to add... as the layout progresses you can't move/change the previously added items, just play with the layering. It's such a fun challenge. Here is my completed layout:


I might try this again in the months to come. The next one is scheduled for May.

Connie Prince: Family Fun

As part of my guest time with Connie Prince I get to pick an older kit each week to play with. This week I chose to play with the Family Fun bundle... just perfect for those pics of us passing the time during loadshedding.

Pixel Scrapper - Winter Layout Madness

 Pixel Scrapper had a Winter Layout Madness going on this month.... 

The idea is that you decide how many layouts you're going to make, share them and keep a running total. I set a goal of 15 knowing that for sure I would go over that just based on the number of challenge layouts I do each month. But it was better to set a lower goal than aim too high. I have shared most of my layouts already in other posts, but just for completeness sake, I will share the full list here too to see what I achieved.

Dandelion Dust Design Mojo Mod Challenges used for:

1. Template - DDD Outside my window

2. Favourites - DDD Hello

3. Saying - DDD Quote

4. Newsprint - DDD Scraplift

5. Love - DDD Speed Scrap


JBS Tribe Challenges Used for:

6. Squares - JBS Scraplift

7. Colour It Forward - JBS Colour

8. Love - JBS Product

9. Love - JBS Journal


The Lilypad Challenges used for:

26. In My Pocket - GS Daily Download

27. Squares - GS AYOB

28. Newsprint - GS Reward

29. Monochrome - Template 2

30. Scraplift - CAP Life Chronicled

And then there is a No Prompt category too.... this is for any layout shared that doesn't fall into one of the specific challenges. Without listing them all here I made 9 other layouts this month that fit this category. 

So that brings my total layouts created for WLM to 39, more than double my original goal! Not bad going.


Gingerscraps - Feb2021 challenges

Sure am building up a list of challenge layouts again.. here's what I've created this month for Gingerscraps including those that I made in other challenges too.

1. Template1


2. Minikit


3. Template 2


4. CAP Life Chronicled


These next two use sketches from the AppScrappers Friday sketches challenges:

5. Daily Download


6. Reward



And these that I shared already also count:

7. Surprise - DDD Hello layout

The next three I made as part of the JBS Feb Tribe Challenges:

8. AYOB - JBS Scraplift  layout

9. Pinterest - JBS Colour layout

10. Brush - JBS Product layout

Really struggled with doing the last two challenges for this month to get 10... almost like I'd run out of steam. But I persevered and got them done... the carrot at the end of the month (a free kit) is always a good incentive.
