Challenge Club

Challenge Club 1 met on Wednesday. Students were instructed on how to do a sketch of a layout in a magazine. Why? As Scrapbookers we get Scrapper's block a lot. Sketch's are one way to work through that block and bring back your own creativity. Most of the time your layout will not come out the same way the original layout you sketched did. When we sketch we will often add our own spin to the layout which will make it our own.
Sketches are also a great way to speed up the time it takes to create a layout. If your like me, you could take hours upon hours to THINK about what to do next. Sketches eliminate this need. You will also get many more layouts done at a crop or a retreat if you have sketches to help along the way.
Once you get used to sketching someone Else's layout you will begin to create your own sketch's.
This layout was my completed challenge. I wish I had a picture of the original layout the sketch came from. Mine came out looking completely different than the original.
I can not wait to see what Challenge Club 2 comes up with for their assignment. If you would like to see all of the assignments from Challenge Club 1 go to the Scrappery's link under my favorite blogs.
Happy Scrapping.
