Here's the
second in a series of monthly scrapbooking challenges to encourage you to think about you -
your thoughts, goals and dreams, your inner struggles, challenges and triumphs.
Our kits at Scrapbooking from the Inside Out are the perfect match for
these challenges, but you don't need a kit to play along. Just grab some of
your stash and jump right in!
For your challenge, feel free to use any part of the following challenge prompt that touches you - but we
want you to add what we call the 'design twist' - using a visual representation
to reinforce the challenge.
Do you need to have
specific things in common with your friends to make your relationship work? Do
the things you don't have in common help you grow and learn about yourself?
Does the way you communicate under conflict make a difference? How do you agree
to disagree when you can? Do you really make peace in those moments or just put
them aside?
Friendships are fragile things, and
require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing. The best
relationships--friendship and otherwise--tend to be those where you *can* say
anything to the other person but you don't say *everything*.
--Audrey Beth Stein
True Blue by Nancy Doren.
Here's an
example from our DT member Nancy
Doren with some amazing visual
symbolism about her relationship with her husband, all from the kit - the
zipper trim shows the two of them joined together, and the repeating image
denotes consistency and the commonality they share.
For the design twist, please use a repetitive image
for a commonality or a mirror image for conflict. Or some of both! If you need more inspiration for this challenge, visit our
FREE Inspiration
Page with deep
journaling prompts, a music playlist, quotes, and photos that relate to the challenge.
