Where does the time go?
I can’t believe it has been almost a year since I first signed up for
Layout A Day! If you haven’t heard of Layout-A-Day (aka LOAD), then you are
truly missing out! This is one of the
most exhilarating challenges I have ever participated in, and I learned so much
about myself and about my scrappin’ style that I can’t even begin to tell you
about it!
LOAD is lead by Lain Ehman, a super fun scrappy vlogger and
the owner of Scrap Happy. Each day, Lain
presents a video along with a challenge and scrappers have to compete at least
one Layout-a-Day.
I enjoyed myself so much last year that I had to do it again
in May. It was also one source of
inspiration for starting our 365 challenge.
While I participated in LOAD, I shared some of my layouts and the
challenges that Lain presented us with.
I never got around to sharing all of them, so I thought I’d give you a
peek at a few of them now.
Day 27: Sketchy Sunday
This was a quick and easy page I whipped out to fulfill the
Sketchy Sunday requirement. I thought
the layout worked really well for the assortment of towel animal photos I took
on one of our cruises. The simple layout
allows the photos to be the focal point of the page.
Day 28. Manic Monday
Speed is the name of the game. Participants were directed to grab the first
photo that caught our eye, scraplift the first design that catches our eye from
the LOAD gallery, and use the first products our eyes jump to on our work area. Luckily for me, I had some cute paper stacks
I had bought on our Spring Break trip and you might recognize the photo as one
that I already used on Day 8 of LOAD when I detailed a typical day in my
husband’s life!
Day 29: Alexander's Terrible,
Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
The thing I love about LOAD is that it teaches me to be
fast. Not every page has to be a
gorgeous masterpiece. Sometimes
something simple will work just as well.
Especially on boy pages. For day 29, our prompt was inspired by the
children’s book, “Alexander’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” by
Judith Viorst. Lain asked us to tackle a
tough topic by scrapbooking a really bad day.
If you’re interested in LOAD, you can find more information
at http://www.layoutaday.com/load213/. I’ve joined again for February 2013 (LOAD
213) and will be sharing some of my layouts here on this blog.
Until then, go do something creative!
