Scrapbook Heaven is at it again with another inspiring crop filled with fun challenges. And it couldn't have come soon enough--September is nearly over, and I have barely scrapbooked at all this month...until now!
First, my challenge is to use a black background and white elements (embellies, papers, letters) to give it a chalkboard effect:

Our public library allows the kiddos to get their first library card when they turn five, and then they take a photo of the proud new owner with their card--how cute is that! |

Patterned paper is from an old Love, Elsie line. Flowers are made from a book page. |
So this weekend, I took some time out of the hustle and bustle of fall sports with three boys and played along with some of the other challenges:
Carla's challenge # 4: Take Note--use note paper on your project

Now that I look at it, this photo is terrible--sorry. Used the Sizzix border die (Dots and Scallops) to make a Lego looking border. And just in case that was too subtle, I raided the boys' Legos and stuck those on the page, too! |

Teresa's challenge #5: Art Class--get messy with paints, chalk, mists, ink, glitter
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghoF2dpK20G-4zbX-VlX6zw83UIk-S6ndkr_nDvUj723pa8FiFPpnhHDeLX3enG9g6EGj4C7lyS7YktwMxqPuZHQcgLa10imUIkBzsZnpPrhCCUyuS39wYB3KnnUEAmx0bmRxh2tHCBrUY/s640/Sept-19-be-a-good-one.jpg) |
Took out the mists, paint, ink and some foam stamps from a CK KOTM. The Fancy Pants journal card was my inspo for this one. Sign of a good page: it takes more time to clean up the mess you made than it did to actually put the page together! |
Lee's challenge #8: Math--use numbers on a LO
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIKtDQj8KaTeMgX4ErxvhN3pn55zolh6nIeGc9drD4Vkt3FN_PYfqD06LUeXHILY9642x4gUB3BoLkbCZwGvCDHRmH754JZJnK4FvLU366CIcAkGN697cZgPdtUIOX9ZZITP7OgAEegeOS/s640/Sept-19-numbers.jpg) |
Inspired by the song Seasons of Love from Rent. Plus this LO put me back in touch with my Word of the Year for 2010: possibilities. |
Jules' challenge # 6 Music--use music lyrics or a song title on a page
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5Jl_aOrYdxNTx5Ai0G5-UcHSrQ2s3SitOzNFTcOPLsOcyk_jrc8NogYskzD7vMQ5jcqjTJLbXQmi0MtSUSNYiksWeDFvHXfmnz1K0PORPF4-rGYkC5rddJiVyBcw6K7qucA7DN1rrpjY/s640/Sept-19-i-love-you-song.jpg) |
From the first time I heard the song 1-2-3-4 by Plain White Tees I had a vision for the lyrics on a scrapbook page with large number stickers. Check that off my list of LO's to do! |

Little more love from the Sizzix Dots and Scallops border die |
