02/01/13 - Stacking Challenges

Happy February first to you all!

 

It's the second month of the New Year and I have already discovered that I am going to have to do something I don't want to to do as far as my scrapping goes...

Oh, it's nothing serious...   

  just something I have always challenged myself NOT to do: "stack"challenges.

For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that you create 1 project for a multitude of different challenges.

As you know I LOVE participating in challenges!

And almost all challenges are A-Okay w/ "stacking"

But I have always tried so hard to create one project for each challenge that I join.

It was my own personal goal and it has always worked out for me.  But that was before I started discovering all these amazing inspirational blogs! 

Oh and before I became a part of 3 Design Teams! LOL!

 

I created a layout today that is the perfect example of "stacking" in action!

 

"Snug As A Bug"

Supplies: Nikki Sivils' Sugar Cookie Collection, DCW's Green Woodland Collection,
My Minds Eye Sweetest Thing Collection BlueBell Buttons, Jenni Bowlin Skinny Alpha Red,
Bazzill Basics In Stich'z Floss and Needle - Pebbles, Heartpunch,

Whale of a Punch Large Circle punch, Zig Pen Black

 

I created this for 3 Challenges over at Scrapbook.com:

1. "ScrapYou Pet" - including the twist to use hearts on your layout

2. "4 Categories" - I selected category #1-Buttons and included the twist of stitching your buttons on

3. "PageMaps and More" - Sketch #5

I guess for the most part it will be okay.  I mean, as long as I am still creating and keeping up w/ my goal of at least 10 layouts a month, does it really matter how I get there?? Nah!

BTW - In case you haven't looked at my statistics on the right-hand side of the blog,  I created 16 layouts last month; that's 13% of my goal! :0)
