:wub Hi everyone!

It’s Nicole from NBK-Design, and I’m beyond excited to welcome you to our special NSD Smartphone Treasure Challenge!

This time, your imagination is required. Here comes a Blind Scrap — where you follow fun instructions without seeing a finished layout first!

It’s all about letting your imagination and creativity lead the way.
Are you ready for a little creative adventure?

And there’s even more good news:
To celebrate National Scrapbooking Day, you’ll find 40% off ALL my PU Products — CU Products are at 50% off at my shop!
It’s the perfect time to stock up and get inspired while you create your challenge layout!

Let’s make this NSD unforgettable — with creativity, great deals, and lots of fun!


:clapWhat is this NSD Challenge about?

This challenge is all about creating a layout following the instructions to build it step by step! You have to follow the instructions exactly - no more - no less what is listed. You will not see a sample layout — your interpretation is the magic!
The fun of this challenge is seeing how everyone interprets the instructions without seeing Sylvias layout.

How to create your photo:
You can take your photo using any device you love — your smartphone, a digital camera, a tablet, an iPad, or even a scanner.
Whatever helps you capture your creative moment best!
Choose a photo that fits the feeling of connection, flow, calmness, or daily life — but it’s completely up to you!


:circlesYour Blind Scrap Instructions:
Please follow these steps to create your layout:
  1. Background:
    Start with a plain or lightly textured background — keep it simple to let your horizontal design stand out.

  2. Photo:
    Place one photo onto your layout.
    Your photo must be positioned horizontally across the center, or slightly higher or lower on the page — but it must flow left to right!

  3. Paper Strip:
    Add at least one long horizontal paper strip (or painted line) under or over your photo to strengthen the horizontal movement.

  4. Embellishments:
    Cluster 3-5 small embellishments along the horizontal path of your layout.
    They should help guide the eye from left to right. Think flowers, stitches, small elements.

  5. Word Art or Quote:
    Add a piece of Word Art, a Quote, or a handwritten word horizontally close to your photo or paper strip.

  6. Optional:
    Add some paint, scribbles, stitching, or stamping — but keep the “left-to-right” feeling strong!

  7. Balance:
    Leave breathing room at the top and bottom of the layout — focus all your design weight horizontally across the middle third of your canvas.

:cheerFinal words from me:
With the Smartphone Treasure Challenge, I want to inspire you to capture daily moments creatively — even if you prefer not to be in front of the camera.
Whether it’s a photo you take with your smartphone, your camera, your tablet, or your scanner — it’s all about seeing your everyday world in a new light.
This NSD, let’s have fun, follow our instincts, and create something unique and beautiful — with a simple horizontal line and a lot of heart.​

Let’s scrap the unexpected — together

Just WOW Roxana. I LOVE daisies and you showcase that precious flower so very eye-catching with your design.
Thank you so much for taking part in Nicole's Blind Scrap.
 
I love seeing all the different takes on the challenge. I cut the green frame in half as part of my 5 elements. I'm part of the creative team but wanted to play along. It was hard just choosing 5 elements I wanted to add so many more LOL

I love the photo of you, so radiant and beautiful. And Candyland with its bold and cheerful colors matches it perfectly. Thank you so much for taking part in Nicole's Blind Scrap.
