Day 17: N Is for Never

Jane Logan

Despite my annoyance at things being off kilter I have done it on a page many times, this might take some thinking…what would I never do on a page…this is tricky! Great challenge!

Jenny McGee

Hmm, I know two right off the bat. I would never use paint (but may be hard to do, because I don’t have any). I would never use staples on a layout. I know that was a big trend awhile back, I always hated that trend. SO, I will use staples on my layout today.

I think I’ll scrap without a photo today.

I never sew and can’t do it even while being Lain-ucated… No sewing machine and I don’t even know where my sewing box is. I have that much aversion to it

Oh I forgot to add… I would have said I never use pink but have already done that this round. Hmmmm I’ve done photoless LOs before, I do both hand written and computer generated journaling, have used flowers (another hard one for me), buttons and brads, chipboard, rub-ons, and paint – all just during this round of LOAD. Wow this will need some thought

This will be hard because the only thing I don’t think I haven’t tried is embossing and I don’t have the stuff right now. Maybe I’ll try using glue in a stamp and glitter. I’ve done glitter (lots) but never with a stamp yet.

hmmm this is a good one. I might scrap without photos or use paint those are both things I never do or maybe have done only once.

Sewing! I have the machine but I feel it would be too time consuming and i’m afraid to “wreck” my LO! But in the spirit of the challenge, I’ll try it (cursing quietly under by breath the whole time…!!)

It is sooooo hard to think of something I have never done. I’m especially trying to think of something I’ve never done that I won’t especially hate. Hm. I’ve never used glitter. Perhaps the time has come. I’ve never done heat embossing (yet I have the tools — ridiculous). Okay. It’s either glitter glue or embossing today… time to get my sparkle on.

I don’t think there is anything I would never do on a page. There was a time I said I would never use just one photo, but I’ve done that many times over now. Great challenge, though it’s going to require some thinking.

Mine would be to use glitter the old fashioned way: glue and sprinkle. ICK! I can’t stand the glitter everywhere. I don’t mind stickles or glitter already on things – so some well appointed bling is good. But not the free-range glitter. I don’t even know if I have glitter here anymore.

Margy Eastman

Oooh, good challenge. I’ve used most of the crafty stuff on a layout before…though as life gets busier I fall back on PP and chipboard letters a lot! I can’t even deal with rub-ons and revert to stickers. There’s a design I’ve seen in the digital galleries – one photo with a cluster of embellishments and LOTS of white space. I always thought it was a waste of real estate in these albums Jack will inherit, but I have a lone small photo – maybe I’ll try that and even make a flower or two!

Alissa

ummmmm I am pretty much a wild child when it comes to scrappin’…..I will try anything once!! I guess I have “never” scrapped without a photo or maybe “never” do 2 page LO’s….hmmm I think I will have to consult my scrappy peeps to find out if i have ever said “never”?????? Great challenge once again Lain!!!!!!

Julie Luna

I don’t paint or sew. I can’t paint becasue I don’t have the paint and it’s too much to set up my sewing machine, since I’m using my sewing table for LOAD. I don’t like to use glitter, too messy. Hmmmm this is going to take some thought.

There are lots of things I very rarely do. I don’t use other people’s sketches much and I don’t usually scrap with straight 4×6 photos. But I did both of those things yesterday. I don’t do retro well at all. I also don’t do bold bright colors with gobs of accents. I think that may be my challenge for today. Bight color and gobs of accents. Hmmm, we’ll see where this goes!

As for as ROYGBIV (rainbow) I don’t really like or use ROY (red, orange, yellow). NEVER all together and rarely with other colours. Red with pink for love or Valentine’s. Occasionally yellow, maybe for Easter. Almost never use orange.
So today I meixed all 3. And I had no white space. And I did my first 2 page spread in a long time.

NEVER: Sew or hand-stitch. I like the look, but am too “A.D.D.” to stick with it.
NEVER: Leave off a title. I just cannot do it. MUST. HAVE. TITLE!
NEVER: Use thick, hard embellishments. Not practical in albums. (Maybe on a mini.)

I agree on the title thing! MUST HAVE TITLE! I often have the title before anything else!
