******* Rachel Jefferies June 2023 Mixed Media Challenge *******

Those of you who kindly participated in Rachel's feedback survey for our Challenge Programme gave us feedback that you'd like more scrapbooking and journaling prompts and that you were having a hard time coming up with ideas to scrap and would like more prompts.

This months challenge is to use one of the following prompts I've put together for you which hopefully will help to ignite your creativity a little, give you an idea of what you can create about and get you get an extra page scrapped this month.

Consider the following list of prompts for this month's challenge and use one or more to create your page:

• Re-visit Rachel's scrapbooking kits in your stash. Maybe you might want to re-visit a favourite, the Kits you haven't created with yet, or the last few you may have purchased. Rachel always adds a bunch of journal prompts in her kits and it’s a goldmine for creative ideas. Here are a few examples

• You can also check out Rachel's Pinterest Boards which are packed with all things creative, there are sure to be lots of theme or journal prompts here that will give you many creative ideas.
• Visit Rachel's Gallery here at the Lilypad which at the time of drafting this challenge has almost 950 pages full of layouts made with her products! A never ending source of prompts for your creativity.

If you are the type of scrapbooker who prefers to choose their photo first consider:

• Taking a photo at 6 pm and journal about that moment in time
• Tell a childhood memory but with a recent taken photo/photos
• Seek out a photo where you are able to tell a story that describes the similarities or the differences of now & then.
• Sometimes the anticipation for a moment can be as important as the actual moment. Tell the story of what you are looking forward to most this month.

Here is my take on the challenge. I chose to tell a childhood memory with a recent taken photo with the Every Last Minute collection.



Challenge Requirements:

• Use one or more of the prompts provided to create a new scrapbook layout or creative project.
