I love my craft works to be colourful and fun. I consciously challenge myself to do something different from what I've done. When I received Ed's email, I was taking stock of my stash and creatively thinking how to pack more things into a confined space (sounds familiar, doesn't it :> ). And I chanced upon an old photo album where the pages looked like a layout, yet its very minimum.
Before Scrapbooking was popularised
While Scrapbooking is in limelight
So, I invite you to re-visit your very 1st LO (be it formal or informal scrapbook LO) and re-count the spirit while you were working on that LO. Adopting the same theme, re-create a new LO of your current style. Seeing how your own style revolve can be refreshing, for all you know that might well be the start of your creative juice for December's challenge :)
I am glad to have known friends and challenges (super effective to de-stash) from Groovie Scraps Cafe and I am definitely excited and honoured to be Featured Groovie Guest Designer for November. Ed, thanks for the invite!

Featured Groovie Guest Designer
Hello! I’m Janis, a scrapbooker from the Philippines. I am married to a very supportive husband JE and a mother to Nat (4yo) and Phil (2yo). I started scrapbooking April 2008 and have never been able to stop. I do mostly 12x12 pages - - usually with my kids as the subject - - but I also dabble in cardmaking and altered projects from time to time.
My style can very much adapt to the papers and embellishments that I design with although a play on bold and bright colors usually stands out on my layouts (hence, the monicker Ms. Bold and Bright among friends!). I have a penchant for elaborate layouts - - I soo love putting details and textures on my pages. Clustering, layering and distressing are the usual techniques that I use although I am not afraid to experiment and try other techniques. I feel that I am still new at this craft and have a lot to learn in the process.
I am so excited and honored to be the featured Groovie Guest Designer for October. Thanks so much Edleen for the opportunity.
My challenge is to create a monochromatic layout. If you're keen, why not scrap the color that best describes you?
