Wow o WOW! I can't believe you are already finished with all 5 layouts and most of Desi's challenge too. You are a scrappin machine! It takes me ages to find photos, kits, and templates to scrap with... send some of that scrappin speed my way! Those pages are AMAZING! WAY TO SCRAP IT!
 
DONE WITH CHALLENGE 2 by @GlazeFamily3 !!!!!!
Use 1 Template & Create 5 Completely Different Pages

I'm using the top left template in this set:




WHEW!!!!

The most I've ever used 1 template is 2 times, so this was really fun!! I still have other ideas, but I think I'll stop with 5! HA!

That's what I like about doing this kind of thing because it really is limiting. When I did the pick 10 templates one in the past I made a separate folder and only put those 10 in it. I didn't let myself change any out or anything since there was a reason I was drawn to them in the first place. Same with limiting what designer I used too. It takes the choices away.

It's restrictive, but not hard since I know that I LOVE everything in my stash.
 
@fanon I'll start your challenge of One Little Bird kits & Sabrina's Creations templates tonight at home! :D
 
Yay! I got 2 more pages done for my son's mission scrapbook. I will confess that when I went to do these, they were already started - months ago, but now they're done and that's the important thing. And I've got another 2-page spread started. Thanks for the push @EHStudios Elisa!

WAOUHHHH you are the best.....your layouts are always marvelious........i always love your pages but now i say why.....
 
Right now I’ve challenged myself to finish an Easter pages album so I will have 110 layouts ready when Shutterfly has its next unlimited extra free pages sale. Otherwise I drive myself nuts trying to make these big books in a few days. Since I have 2000 plus unprinted pages (no excuse but laziness) going back at least 10 years, I have oodles of Easter pages to update and collate. I don’t really redo the old pages much but I try and shadow consistently. I’m making pages to fill in the gaps. :bird:fairydance:fruit

Elisha- I am so impressed! You did amazing! I think my favorite is the last page, but I love them all.
 
Friday night through Monday night is when I have the most time to scrap but I'm often worn out from working the week before or anxious/planning for the week ahead so sometimes I will feel the 'itch' but not know where to start.

This is when I go through my matched up photos & kits and challenge myself to pick the first kit from the bottom of the folder (so reverse alphabetical order) no matter what kit, how many photos, etc. are in it. I find multi-photo/event pages the most time-consuming to create so sometimes I will warm up with a single photo/moment page before jumping back to the first kit I challenged myself to create with.

The bulk of my pages are my kids so sometimes I will challenge myself to scrap anyone or anything else especially pages about me or other grownup/non-kid-related things going on in my life.

This! This is exactly what I mean with "self-imposed challenges". I do find I scrap MORE when I have some thing that limits me instead of just access to my whole stash.

Take your time!!!! This isn't a speed scrap challenge! Just a way to jumpstart people in a way that I find helps me sometimes :D

I can't wait to see how this will inspire you!

Another one I remembered doing to myself is, when I buy a template pack I'll try to scrap all 4 templates in the set. So that's another idea!

I'm always scrambling at printing times. I actually have enough pages ready to print, but I don't have them sorted in order yet. Now that I'm getting close to having another batch ready I'm figuring I'll just wait for those & do 4 books at once instead of 2.

Good luck with your Easter collating!
