[rukristin]

This might sound kinda stupid. and I dont know if it would work.

But maybe if monica gets like; something new into the store; could you do like a "featured product challege".

maybe not necessarily as one of the friday challenges; as people would have to get it...but.

And then the team could do different things with the product; creative ways to use it an stuff? I'm not sure if I'm making any sense.

[Jess]

yes you are making sense Kristin! If there is a particular product that you want to see featured, just let us know.


ahhehm, Bree....no chit chat! :) Reason why I said that is so that we can find the challenges easily without having to read through many pages of posts. kwim?

[DearAbby]

Okay I have a challenge for you guys!!

I'd like to see a LO with one of these two techniques:

http://www.scrapfreak.com/forum/showthread.php?t=300

Is that okay?

[jessicabree]

Those are cool, but not sure which of us have re-inkers Abby. I know I don't :sadwalk:

[DearAbby]

Amy should, and you could totally buy them from her too!! :giggle: :masked:

[kathi_minikatie]

OK, I'll bite (I'd insert a smilie, but somehow I ended up in Quick Reply and don't see em in here).

Inspiration Challenge - use this image as your inspiration for a LO:

[kathi_minikatie]

LOL! I can see you guys were truly inspired by the above and ran off to scrap!

[DearAbby]

:giggle: I think they felt the same way about my challenge!!

[Jess]

[monica]

:giggle: I think they felt the same way about my challenge!!

(but she said we couldn't chat so I was keeping quiet...I liked them.)

I think that is a good idea like with the Maya road star sheet that I just used because a lot of people said "I didn't know what to do with it"

[jclizzzard]

i would like to see layouts with hidden journaling/ways to get more journaling to fit on a page :yes:

[ChickieShannon]

Any more idea, ladies? :D

[DearAbby]

I still want to see the baby-wipe techniques. I KNOW Amy has reinkers!

[Amy]

well, i do have reinkers - but i'm not sure i have glossy paper unless photo paper works?

[Beffy]

:hmmm: I had totally forgotten bout this :omg: I will think on it :yes:

[Beffy]

[SarainMN3]

s/o on Chickie's thread

I would love to see LO's with fabric on them and the way to use fabric in different ways
I remember last year I was in a contest where we had to use fabric on a LO and it was so hard for me

[Shannon]

I would like to see more stamping on layouts!!! I have a ton of stamps (like you didn't know) and sometimes have a hard time with using them...even some of the journaling box ones. Not sure of the placement and all that. So if you all could show me some great examples that would be awesome!!!

[SarainMN3]

I have a hard time with stamps too

[SarainMN3]

oh great-and now I sell them lol

[Shannon]

:giggle:

[Yvette]

How about showing us different/creative ways to put ribbon and buttons on a layouts and cards?

[MKpinklady]

Use THIS (http://www.wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html) to create a layout. Try to use a new color combination that you wouldn't normally use.

[Yvette]

Oh! That pretty cool Kim!!

[jclizzzard]

i would like to see pages or cards highlighting rubons

[HappyStamper]

I'd love to see Team Freak create layouts using only solid cardstock and a black OR white pen (and photos)- no patterned paper, no premade embellishents. :evil:

[Scrapnmom81721]

I would like to see Team Freak do multi photo layouts... like 3 or more photos! AND when you do so, use your OLDER stash!!! (6 months or more...)

[jessicabree]

OK, I'll bite (I'd insert a smilie, but somehow I ended up in Quick Reply and don't see em in here).

[ChickieShannon]

Great ideas, ladies! Keep 'em coming!

And great LO, Bree! But aren't we supposed to save these for our DT stuff? Freakin' over-achiever... :giggle:

[Shannon]

:gigglebox: Looks great Breezy!!!

[jessicabree]

Great ideas, ladies! Keep 'em coming!

I actually did this over 2 weeks ago and never posted it! :giggle:

[HappyStamper]

Here's a cardstock only page that I did a while back for a challenge elsewhere.

[Beffy]

BEAUTIFUL LO Breezer :banana:

I have a challenge for y'all :hoorah:
use the tips Breezy posted in this Library thread (http://scrapfreak.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13616) bout doodles & outlining :yes:
I love that look & would love to see it more :D

[Simply:D]

How about a glitter challenge....

[arbmommy]

I would like to see each member of team freak do a LO that is a scraplift of the same LO in the gallery. It would be neat to see how each person takes from that LO and makes it their own.

Or a challenge where each person takes the same photo(s) and does a LO of them, again to see how each person makes it their own.

[Bickelrcan]

Mutiple photo LO's, LO's without pictures, & using flowers on boys pages.

[moscrapper]

:yeahthat:

and I am thinking IMAGES not just titles!

[rukristin]

My Challenge to Team Freak (and its a bit of a play on Beffy's challenge) = Scrap a layout using at LEAST two of the ideas in the library; preferably more!

[Beffy]

we have great minds that think alike K :D :yes:

[rukristin]

:D You are my rock Beffy :yourock:

[Beffy]

:giggle:

[DearAbby]

I would like to see more LO's with "busier" pp as the background. Too often I cut it up or use it as an accent, then as the main piece of background paper.

[Laura]

My Team Freak Challenge: Create a single-page layout with at least 10 any-size photos. I know if can be done since I've done it myself, but I'm hoping for more examples as inspiration for those pages that just NEED lots of photos!

[KimL141]

I would love to see a LO (or LO's) with PP as the embellishment. I have a lot of PP that could be cut up and used as embellishments, but I have a hard time doing this effectivly.

[Amy]

Love it!

[jessicabree]

i would like to see layouts with hidden journaling/ways to get more journaling to fit on a page :yes:

I did this one for you Julie!

I wanted a lot of journaling and loved your challenge. I made myself try something a bit new...

I created "photo flips" so I could hide the journaling behind the photo. I cut little pairs of circles from PP and folded them in half. I glued one half to the page and one to the photo. Simple, but worked well for me.
