Question - Non-Oscraps products or retired O designer products can be used whether the designer is selling elsewhere or not. I have a mixed media collection collab with Lynne Grieveson, Rachel Jeffries and one other person who is currently not designing here at Oscraps. This collab collection...

I am not a ketchup fan :sad1: I actually prefer Mustard!! As in Colonel Mustard in the Dining room with the Mustard bottle :D

I want to show off my sons Halloween costumes this month. (Oct 2024) So I was wondering if anyone wants to do a Halloween Costume parade. Make 4 or more Layouts of your best costumes (you or any family member) during October 2024 and perhaps we can have a vote as to who has the best costume and...

I know this is an old thread but when I first discovered Digital Scrapbooking, I also discovered the 100 days project and I had all these photos that were just lying around on my hard drive. So I started out doing my life story - pretty much - for 100 days as I discovered how to also do digital...

Faerywings - As for talent, -- that's irrelevant. AJ isn't about talent, it's about expression. Besides, who cares what other people think about our art? (yeah- I do struggle with that but with AJ it's much easier.;) ) Expression!! Words. That makes so much sense. I am a writer not an artist...

I usually just do 1 or 2 of the art journal challenges every now and then but like Susie said, you have to be inspired. If I am not inspired, I just don't feel up to doing anything for that challenge. This month, (Sept 2024) I was inspired by the theme word FOCUS and I actually managed to do...

This is a pretty basic LO. But now that I have found this collection, I plan on using it a lot for Journaling type challenges!! There is a lot more to the story, but since I dont have a lot of room, i have to be economical with the words I use.

I prefer to use the word Affirmations rather than Mantra. So here is my story. Journaling text Some 30 years ago I used to be a carpet. I had grown up basically being told that I was not allowed to say NO. So as I got older, I ended up allowing everyone to walk all over me because I could not...

This is my LO for Week 3.

I was inspired by the Quote from Eckhart Tolle that says this Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary Focus of your life So I am focusing on the NOW, the present time, on me! I spent the entire 4 days watching live streams of a Jigsaw Speed...

That is what I was missing. Giving myself permission to write!! Thank you so much!! :D

This is my week 2 Layout. I was inspired by the quote at Bottom left of the Moodboard.

I was inspired by the quote on the Moodboard at Lower Left - The Key to Success is to FOCUS our conscience mind on things we desire and not things we fear. I have a great desire to be a writer. But my perfectionism keeps getting in the way - which ties into Week 1. So I must try to Move...

Thanks Cheryl. Am working on it now, so I can get my next LO up. 20 fonts done, another 40+ to go.. :busy1:

I somehow lost most of my fonts in the transfer from my old PC to my new one and so I gotta go and reupload them again. So boring to have to redo. Not something that I want to "Focus" on (pun intended!!) :cool: But I still got 3 weeks left...

I love the quote - If you focus on the results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results. Must remember that one!!

I know I have not been here for a while, but I was not in a good place with my health. But I am doing much better now :) So here is my first LO about my problems with FOCUS.

Journaling Text - I have always been a perfectionist and this is interfering with my enjoyment of life. If I fail at something, I tend to want to give up and not try again. So I need to learn to focus on the good times, ignore the bad and if necessary, learn how start over again. Details - The...

I never cottoned onto paper scrapping. Once you cut or glue a piece of paper it's done and gone and you cannot reuse it. It's even worse if you made a mistake. I was drawn to the idea of scrapping memories and history, but the waste of physical materials held me back. I did not discover...

Wonderful LO. I used to have several cupboards and drawers filled with books. My small apartment does not have room for shelves. Then I was given an e-book reader. So now I have a HUGE collection of E-books. Just over 4000 at the last count. Many of the Physical books I used to own, I have...
