I've Been Challenged

to think outside the box, the crayon box that is....

In celebration of the release of Stacy Julian's newest eB00k UR2Cre8ive I have a fun project to share with you. But before I do, doesn't this cover just scream FUN!!

I promise the pages inside are just as good. Trust me, I've had the chance to take a sneak peak. In fact, I've played along with two of the exercises but I can only reveal one today.

In an exercise designed to embrace my creative freedom I was challenged to use crayon wrappers in some way. I had been holding onto a few pieces of work my son's teacher showed me at our latest parent/teacher conference & with the trigger of crayon wrappers I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Inspired by both the wrappers & my son's work I found myself completely playing in the design of this layout. I love the spirit of fun that it seems to capture.

Supplies: Studio Calico Yearbook & Marketplace Kits

Journaling: I always look forward to seeing your work at the parent teacher conference. This year, the last conference at MSND, held a special surprise. As I was being told that you are strong in both Math & Reading all I could see was your creativity. There will be a lifetime of the basics so what I cherish now is your imagination. A man behind a grill, people on a boat these are the things I hope you will always see.

Here is a closeup of his work featured in the layout. Seriously love this kid of mine.

As a result of having Garrett with me while I was creating he has now requested that I create a mini album of all his work. I see a weekend project up ahead!

While you'll have to wait for the March issue of Scrapbook Elements to see how some of my friends & I played along with some of the other prompts you can go buy the book & be inspired yourself today!
