I love the dare posted by Traci last week. It was to scrap anything chaotic going on in one’s life and either scrap it completely messy or go clean and graphic.

Chaos.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the chaos of living a life with 2 boys. Add to that school ending, moving, and other changes and my life is in an utter state of chaos right now. What about your life, what is chaotic in your life? Or maybe, what’s chaotic about someone you love? Chaos isn’t necessarily a bad thing and even when it is negative, it teaches us lessons and how to cope with imperfection.

So my challenge to you, is to scrap something chaotic. Maybe there’s a room in your house that you just can’t keep clean. Maybe you have two boys like me and have a constant happy chaos, or maybe the economy has turned your life upside down and provided unwanted chaos in your life.

Flair:
I want your layout to either contrast with your chaotic message and be super clean lined and graphic OR go with the chaotic flow and be MESSY, feel free to experiment and leave the Ctrl+Z alone!

I don’t want to see the word Chaos on your layout, in fact, pick a synonym (

here or here) for your title and make it big!

Since my mind was actually in chaos, I decided to put it off the last minute. I’m glad I did it though – I really should put off reading liporexall reviews for now. I have been trying to help a friend decide which brand would be the best for her.

This was my layout:

It’s me hosting this week and I hope you get to play!

No Pictures. Just Outlines.

I have been very lax in taking pictures lately that I am having trouble scrapping – add to that is the fact that my laptop got reformatted a few weeks ago and my backup pictures are still on DVDs. So you can say I have been on a scrapping slump. But I realized why should it stop me from making pages?

So my dare for this week is to scrap a page without pictures on it – yes, no pictures. It’s up to you if you want to create a scene (fantasy scrapping), do a graphical layouts with cool typography or if you want to be dared, get a patterned paper shaped from a subject in your photo!

Dare flair:
Get an outline somewhere in your page. Be it a doodle. A stroke in your alpha, an outline of a paper piece, I just want to see an outline.

Everyone who participates this week will receive a coupon good for Leora’s store at Little Dreamer Designs.

This week’s a really good dare but I haven’t done my layout in time. In fact, I haven’t scrapped at all last week. I was too busy doing nonsense stuff – actually sleeping 8 hours a day, watching movies with my kids and looking for health insurance leads that I wasn’t able to do any work. Since this week is the last week of March, it’s going to be crunch time and I’m not going to waste time. Deadlines are looming.

And here is my layout
