When that happens, and I feel like my products are ganging up on me (!), I try to simplify. What do I REALLY need? Some paper. Some photos. The rest is all just icing.
So here is your challenge.... SIMPLIFY.
Specifically, I mean you need to limit yourself this way for this challenge:
(1) You may use cardstock (however much you need) and ONE sheet of patterned paper (double-sided is ok).
(2) You may use as many photos as you like
(3) You may use pens, markers, pencils, paints.
(4) You may not use any other embellishments unless you make them with that cardstock or patterned paper.
Remember that simple does not have to mean plain ... you can do alot with a sheet of patterned paper - I swear! After this challenge, go back and use chipboard, stickers, jewels, the works. But for right now, give it a try. Simplify!
This challenge concludes at Midnight on Sunday, July 26th. Link us up here or send us an email to qualify for a RAK donated by Piggy Tales ... A complete collection of one of their newest releases, Row, Row, Row Your Boat:

Jen's Layout:
The title was made by doodling inside some leftover Piggy Tales Chipboard letter forms.
Deborah's Layout:
This Sassafras Lass paper is double-sided and border on the bottom of the paper. Deborah used her Slice to cut the flowers and letters.

I may not have the courage to enter but I have to tell you thank you. Just last night I went in the "room" and actually ended up in tears because I was so overwhelmed. I decided last night to start practicing the principles of this challenge and getting rid of all the extra stuff I have. Shoot I get so worn out just organizing and putting it all away, I'm too tired to create.
Here's mine. I lifted April Foster's wonderful layout (which has been lifted quite a few times by other scrappers on the SC site!). I used 2-sided CC paper and then only cardstock and ink.
