Scrapbooking Starting Point
When I posted the Starting Point challenge last weekend, I had no idea just how popular it would be! I mean seriously, as I write this there are more than 130 layouts entered! Which is fabulous.
And it also means we should have a starting point challenge every week, right? On Saturdays. Saturday Starting Points. It has a ring to it.
So here’s a new Starting Point challenge for you. Above is where I started with the design for this layout:
©twopeasinabucket.com. Click here for supplies and details.
If you use this starting point to create a layout of your own, share it with us by linking at the end of this post. Next week I’ll post some of my favourites with the new Starting Point page.
Now… I don’t have a prize lined up for this regular Starting Point challenge just yet – but if you click here, this layout is the weekly challenge at Two Peas. It’s a take your pick challenge – you can enter by creating a page with either paint, hidden writing or trying this grey/turquoise/yellow/black colour scheme. And there you can win a prize. So consider the starting point a little kickstart toward that challenge perhaps!
And don’t forget, there ARE still plenty of challenges with prizes open for entries! Most of them close tomorrow night (Sunday) at midnight. You can find the full list here and pick whatever you fancy!
Have a beautiful and creative weekend!

I love the new challenge! It makes scrapping sometimes much easier if you have a starting point. I never know what my layouts will look like in the end, but I think, that makes it interesting.
Thanks

Great weekly challenge! It’s funny to have the same starting point than everybody … you’ll never know where your layout will run!! Love love love!!!! ;-)

Oops – I did the same paper layout not colours – had a go though :0)

Mister Linky won’t work for me. It says “Next” instead of “Enter” I didn’t do the two peas challenge, but I did start from the “Starting Point”. Link:

I do love this color combo!
21 August 2011, 00:11
hope it shows up this time
21 August 2011, 00:13
It doesn’t show up for some reason again, must be doing something wrong
21 August 2011, 07:10
Still playing along…. Thanks again for the inspiration Shimelle. Btw, that photo is adorable. Love the blue top on you….

Im excited about this new weekly challenge – its a great motiviaion to get some scrapping done! I’ve added mine but I’m sorry Shimelle it added twice. Could you delete #3 please as its the same layout! Sorry
21 August 2011, 10:18
I still can’t get mine to post for some reason
21 August 2011, 14:15
Finally got mine to show up. :/

Great idea – I’ve loved catching up on the challenges this WE – thanks again for putting it all together. You’ve helped me to make loads of pages and I’ve loved it!
21 August 2011, 20:27
Awesome, awesome, AWESOME! Thrilled this is going to have a weekly slot. I really enjoyed it.
21 August 2011, 21:19
great challenge. But it’s been enough for today. There’s no date before I have to put it up, so I hope tomorrow will do.
21 August 2011, 21:42
Yay I loved the starting point challenge! I found it more helpful than a sketch.
22 August 2011, 11:24
Loving the starting points challenge. Gives scraping a new lease of life.
23 August 2011, 14:37
Loved doing this and even used the colours suggestions of yellow/grey/black and aqua. Quite pleased with the results! Thank you
23 August 2011, 20:21

I loved the visual challenge of Starting Points and loved that it was far away to what I am used to doing but loved the challenge! great idea!
26 August 2011, 02:42
I tried out the painting as I really want to do it more and got a bunch of new Mister Huey colors at CKC. Still not feeling too adept, but getting better, I hope.
26 August 2011, 15:37
I,m a little behind but I liked my version. Thanks for the inspiration.
27 August 2011, 21:13
Thanks for the inspiration. I had some fun :D
When adding the link I wasn’t able to add any images. But the link do work.

Love this layout and think adding the envelope is a genius idea for all of the bit and pieces we pick up travelling.
