Scrapbooking challenges :: The List

list of scrapbooking challenges
scrapbook page detail
And with that, Sunday is quickly drawing to a close on this side of the world, so I want to pause and draw up a handy list of links to all the challenges so far, but also tell you a bit about what to expect in the week ahead.

These challenges are open now until the end of next Sunday, the 21st of August:
Sketch of the Week
Printable Challenge
Stickery Challenge
Starting Point Challenge
Chop your Paper Challenge
Add to the Story Challenge
Grid it Up Challenge
Colour Story Challenge
From the Heart Challenge
Go Retro Challenge
3 is a Magic Number Challenge
Half Page Challenge
Signature Accent Challenge
PLUS these challenges added throughout the week:
Butterflies & Bingo Cards
Hot Pink Hoopla
Scrapbooking Sketch of the Week (This one is open until Tuesday.)

So there is certainly plenty to create and many chances to win! But wait – there’s more to come. There always needs to be a surprise, right?

This week on the blog, you’ll find four scrapbooking tutorial posts, with videos and a chance to win prizes from Jenni Bowlin Studio, Cosmo Cricket, Simple Stories and Little Musings. And the details (and a kit option) for the 2011 run of Learn Something New. So while I promise not to stand here issuing you challenges every few hours for the entire week, I do promise to keep the creative fun rolling with some very special things in store. I really hope you’ll stop by each day to see what’s new!

Thank you very much for all your fabulous creativity and I am so very happy to have met so many lovely ladies who are proud to scrapbook! While the crop was going on this weekend, I ended up in a conversation with one of those people who dismisses scrapbooking as less than cool, and it was pretty fabulous to know there are plenty of us who are happy to set her straight!

US readers, you have a few hours left to use the code SHIPSL for free shipping on a $35 order at Two Peas so go get some goodies in your bucket as a special treat!

Okay happy, scrappy friends — I’ll catch you tomorrow!

    Thank you so much again for putting this online crop as its been so much to see and even more happy I have a challenge to get more done as I was away this weekend and couldn’t play like I wanted! (((HUGS)) and thank you again.

  2. marianne Says:

    Thanks for the creative push this weekend, Shimelle. It was just what the doctor ordered!

  3. Peggy Says:

    There’s MORE! That’s so excellent. Thanks for the weekend, and for the week to come, Shimelle. We’re still havin’ fun & you’re still the one — when it comes to scrapbooking divas, that is :-)

  4. Shannon H. Says:

    Thank you for an amazing weekend! You are so inspirational. I love your scrapbooking style as well as your writing style. I have finished so many layouts and I love how they turned out. What a fun weekend!!!Thank you so much!

  5. Kim Strother Says:

    I’d like to thank you for a great weekend full of fun. I really felt that all your challenges were inspirational and they pushed me out of my confort zone and helped me create more layouts in one weekend that I have every done before. I didn’t get to finish them all, but that’s a treat for me to look forward to for the rest of the week. Thanks again!! I hope you do this again in the near future!

  6. Jimjams Says:

    I’ve been ultra busy this weekend but thanks to you (and your lovely loonnngggg deadline), I’ll have plenty to keep me going this week! Great CC Thank you!

  7. Anne Lord Says:

    Thank you so much for finding so many ways to be creative this weekend and thanks too, for the past four weeks, that we’ve spent exploring this happy pastime we all love.

  8. Kristin Says:

    I am joining the chorus of THANK YOU for an incredible weekend. I saw you had this on-line crop in the pipeline and wanted to check it out, but really didn’t anticipate participating. From the very first posts this weekend there was no way I couldn’t participate. Your posts and challenges are so inspiring and your enthusiasm is contagious. I am super excited to see what this next week has in store and look forward to completing more of the challenges as the week progresses. A BIG, BIG thank you from across the pond! :)

  9. Kirsty Riach Says:

    Thank you for so much wonderful inspiration! You have kept me thoroughly entertained this weekend and I have created some lovely LOs are a result of your challenges! I hope to create more this week, although back to school week is always busy!

    Thanks again for everything you do- lots of people out there think very highly of you :) x

  10. Rebecca Says:

    This is going to be so much fun yet! I sure wish I had found more time to scrap and comment this weekend, but I had too many other important priorities. I’m so glad we still have a week to finish the challenges! Thank you so much for all this! I am so proud to be a member of such a wonderful community of scrapbooks, a wonderful community of women (and men, I suppose.) I have loved every minute of this!! Thank you, Shimelle!

  11. kate bucci Says:

    Thanks for a brilliant weekend :) I am still working through the early challenges but I’ll keep going all week. I’ve done more scrapbooking this last week/weekend than I have done in a long time. Smooches xx

  12. Sarah S Says:

    Thank you so much for putting this week-end together for us as I’ve had a blast and made 13 more LOs. Thanks also to all the generous people who have donated prizes. Good luck to everyone who’s taking part. Last thank you goes to everyone for the lovely comments on my work. I’ve tried to keep up with visiting you to see your latest work too. Feel free to give me a nudge if I’ve missed anything you’ve done xxx

  13. Sinead Says:

    Thanks Shimelle, for such an inspirational weekend of scrapbooking goodness! I was working Friday and Saturday so didn’t get started on the challenges until today, but have now done two and looking forward to many more in the week ahead. I would love to show this blog to anyone who disegards scrapbooking and challenge their opinion – because I have never been happier to be a scrapbooker! Love xx

  14. anneberit Says:

    This has been one fun weekend! Even with being at work most of Sunday I have already made 5 (more or less finished) layouts and I’m still inspired to scrap more during the week to come. Thank you for bringing the crop online, making it possible to participate where ever we live. :D Looking forward to see what you have in store for Learn Something New this year.

  15. Jennifer grace Says:

    Ooh, yay, more to come! So exciting! And I can’t wait for LSNED, I just had a look at the forum to see if any discussions were happening yet!

    Thanks shimelle for being so inspiring! X

  16. Janelle Says:

    Thanks so much for the inspiration this weekend! I came home last weekend from being at my folks’ while my dad was (and still is) dealing with a very serious health problem…I have felt so run down and couldn’t even imagine trying to scrapbook, but the challenges have really gotten me going this weekend. I’m so delighted with the pages I’ve done so far and am looking forward to doing more this week! Love ya, Shimelle!

  17. Madeline Says:

    Thank you for a wonderful weekend Shimelle. I am working away on the challenges

  18. Chipper Says:

    Can’t believe there is more! I am going to be inspired for weeks to come. The list of challenges is handy, thanks. I have spent the spare minutes of my weekend pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, and it was GREAT! There have even been some very lovely comments on my blog which made me feel all warm and fuzzy. The ladies who frequent this site are lovely :-)

I shall be watching closely for the LSNED kit announcement ;-) Thank you for your inspiration, I truly wouldn’t be scrapping without you. x
