I haven't scrapped in over a week and decided I needed motivation. Checked out a few challenge blogs and found a couple I haven't tried before. Made notes, packed my rolling scrap case and off to my cousin's house I went. Below are the two layouts I did for the challenges.
This layout, Be You, was for the eyelet challege on Scrap Your Crap. You had to use at least fifteen eyelets. I could have used thousands and I still would have had plenty of eyelets left to last me another fifty years or 1200 layouts, whichever came first. Anyway...my friend, Liz - a.k.a Karen, is a Crazy Crap Scrapper for Scrap Your Crap. You need to check out her blog, especially her Ew to New projects. She is crazy creative. Crazy I say. Oh and she designs blogs, blinkies and banners for blogs, so if you need one check out her blog and email her. Cool.
GOOD HUMOR

This layout, Good Humor, was titled that because I wanted ice cream at the time. Well, also because Jake cracks me up endlessly. The layout was done for The Dares color challenge. Use one color and stick to it. So I did and had no trouble doing so. The less thinking I have to do, the better.
GOOD
I would highly recommend trying out a challege site, if you are ever stuck and need a nudge. Why not try? There are a ton of challenge sites out there, but here are a few to get you started:

I would love if you would share any challenge sites you have checked out and liked. I need all the help I can get!

I love me a good challenge! Thanks for the list. I have tried a few of them and have really enjoyed them. I really need to try the scrap your crap. God knows I have a endless amount of crap in my scrap area. :-)

Denise, your layouts are awesome! I must check out those sites and get involved with some challenge blogs! Thanks for the push!
Love what you've done with the eyelets. A really good idea - I have a whole ton of them and have only ever used one on a layout! This has inspired me to have a go and use some more often :)
Love those layouts Denise! LOOOVE how you used the eyelets! I think I may need to try a couple of those challenges myself.
This isn't a challenge site per se, but I do love PageMaps for sketches. They post new ones monthly and Becky Fleck's designs are just dynamic!

Dude! You've been whipping out some awesome layouts! The one with the eyelets is probably one of my favorites of yours. It is so my style - love the simplicity, the photo, and the whole design is stunning. And to use eyelets - bonus points!
