All members that participate, can everyone PLEASE ensure that you read all the rules for this challenge
so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you!

Are you looking to add some excitement and new dimensions to your scrapbooking projects? Then I have a challenge for you - why not try scrapping on an A4 sized page instead of the traditional larger square pages? ( letter - sized is also okay, since this format is more common in some parts of the World)

As someone who does a lot of journaling, I find that the rectangular shape of an A4 page allows me to express my thoughts and emotions in a more natural and visually appealing way. It's also a great way to include one or more photos and memorabilia while still keeping the page looking balanced and organized.

And let's not forget about the practical advantages of using an A4 page. Printed A4 sized books are easier to store on bookshelves and for fans of hybrid scrapbooking - are more readily available in stores.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different layouts and designs when creating your A4 sized pages. You may find that the different size allows you to explore new creative possibilities that you never thought were possible.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Here is my sample page. I opted for an (art) journaling page, since I really love to put my thoughts on paper.

What an interesting idea! I once heard a designer say they prefer rectangular to square because of the unequal sides and how they add tension and dynamics to the page... I'll definitely make a page!

Not much challenge for me because my whole book for many years is A4. But for this challenge, I tried to emphasize the notebook style in my pages by contrasting colors. Thank you for this challenge, which I sort of turned into a new challenge for myself. :D
