No not you personally, but it's what I'm challenging you to do on your next layout.  I could be an enlarged picture, a tag, the title, a number, or even a letter.  I chose to use a very large letter B for this layout all about my husbands 5th birthday.  Have fun, and I can't wait to see what you take to enormous proportions!  Remember to send your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com by the 25th.  Have fun..sweet pea girl Nicole.

**jenn here...I am SO sorry Sweet Pea'ers that you have been challengeless for a couple of weeks!  Totally my fault!  I've been gone the last two weekends...and then Tuesday I was going to post this challenge but sometimes with my dial up I can't get the compose post page to pop up.   So I got frustrated and gave up.  And now...it's 3:00am and I just remembered!!  So here it is...better late than never right??  Okay...enough excuses...here is your challenge!!**

hi everyone!!  My challenge for you this week is simple.  It is, obviously, natural to always cut your pictures into rectangles, but how often do you cut them into squares?
 
It is a great way to be able to fit more pictures on a page, to cut out some negative space, and to just switch things up a bit!
 
SO my challenge for you this month is to have atleast 2 photos cut into perfect squares.
 
Easy enough??  Can't wait to see your creations!!  Sweet Pea Girl Abbie

When I started this LO I had thought to put all the pictures of my brother and new sister in law in a nice grouping, but I really wanted to highlight my very favourite one. So, to keep the focus on that picture, I "hid" the extra pictures in a mini file folder. So that's my challenge to you this week - to "hide" something on your LO! It could be extra pictures or journaling that you want to keep private. Please send your layouts to jenns@sweetpeascraps.com  by the 25th for your chance in the drawing.  Remember...we need 5 participants...so tell your friends to play along too!!  :) Sweet Pea Girl Vivian

Since it's almost the 25th I thought this would be perfect as our first challenge for July!!  :)

How do you spend your time?  Is there something that you do just for you?  Whether it's reading, exercising, scrapbooking, or even taking a nap - document it!  It's might seem so mundane, but as time goes by it will be so fun to look back on and remember what you do right now that's just for you.  Can't wait to see what YOU do with your free time!!  Sweet Pea Girl Nicole.

 I love creating "themed" pages, but I don't always like using over-the-top paper, stickers, ribbon.... to do so. One of my favorite ways to create a theme way "with style" is to paper piece. What else is nice about doing this, is you can create a page about ANY theme with ANY paper:) On the page below, I used google image to look up a picture of a sand castle. I then used that as a guide to create my own pattern for my castle. I used foam dots and inking to make the different layers pop. SO, my challenge for you this week is to give this a try!! It's fun and addicting!  Sweet Pea Girl Abbie

When I think of back to basics I think of all the things in my life that I count on as being constant, always there, always the same, things I can't survive without. The quote I found was "stick to the basics, hold onto your family and friends - they will never go out of fashion."
My challenge is to create a LO about something in that is a basic in your life or that you would like to be a basic in your life.  Sweet Pea Girl Heather
