Page maps- Love these by Becky Fleck. Once a month she designs the coolest sketches for scrapbookers, and sends them out in a newsletter pdf file. I am amazed that she can come up with at least a dozen new sketches every month of the year. She has done circles, 8 1/2 by 11, tags, cards and the standard 12 x 12 pages. I wait eagerly every month for the new maps to come out. I keep them handy when scrapping for instant inspiration. I am truly a fan!!!!!!!!!

Challenge yourself to do something new today. The first of the month for every scrapper is filled with message board challenges. The design team members come out with new challenges every month on both message boards that I read: Creative scrap shack and Treasured scrapbooking.
It is nice to begin the month with challenges to keep you creative. I don't always end up getting the challenges completed but I will try to remember them when I need a creative push. And man do I need a creative push now and then.

My challenge this week: To make one card inspired by Carole Janson....what an amazing scrapper. Everything is 3 dimensional and the coolest I have seen in a long while. Girly you are the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her blog can be found in a link at Creative Scrap Shack.
