Stumped - Pros & Cons Challenge

Guys, with only a few days left to finish, I am working through the remaining challenges. But I have NO IDEA what to do for the pros and cons prompt. When I think pros and cons, I think of making a list to help make a tough decision... but I can't think of any decisions I need help making right now, lol. Maybe I'm taking it too literally??

Does anyone have any suggestions that may lead me to an idea for this challenge?

Thank you! ♥
 
Pros and cons ideas:
Vacation location
Eating at home (or eating at a restaurant)--cost, ease, driving to restaurant or driving to get ingredients
New house item (paint color, furniture, rug, wall decor)
Apple vs Android (or rather, pros and cons of which one you have)
Cutting the (cable) cord, or adding another streaming service
 
I was stumped too, like you I was overthinking it. We make decisions everyday, from what to wear, what to eat, making priorities at work. Mine was very light-hearted and totally prompted by the kit. It's in the sneak peeks thread

My two sticking points are speech bubbles and 24 photos.
 
How about looking back at a time when you wrestled with a decision? E.g. what school to go to, what career to pursue, etc. You could scrap that in retrospect, and then comment on whether you think you made the right decision or not.
 
My two sticking points are speech bubbles and 24 photos.

Speech bubbles
- use them to list favourite things (food, movies, places etc)
- record random quotes your friends or kids say
- list your favourite quotes in each speech bubble
- bucket list places to travel, with a little photo clipped to each one
- have a focal photo on the page surrounded by speech bubbles, and use wordstrips from the kit to describe the photo

24 photos
- 24 Album covers from favourite musicians
- random photos of someone spanning time from birth to now
- things on your SSD wishlist (photos of each kit/template)
- 24 outfits that show your wardrobe now, or over the years
- Draw a monthly calendar grid and fill each space with a photo of something you did or liked that day.
 
The pros and cons was one I had postponed as well, until I thought about my current position of being unemployed (also after a questionaire from the social care/benefits agency). If you still have a job, this might be something to do as well: what are the pros and cons of going to work every day.

Or maybe something about why you (digi)scrap or other hobby, your weekend plans, vacation destination, next serie to binge watch, what to eat, why you do the grocery shopping at a specific store maybe or the way you do it, why you always wear specific shoes/clothes. Now that I think about it, there are many options.
This what I did:


The 24/7 challenge was the first one I did, about a week in Germany we had a few weeks ago. So that might be something for you as well. Or maybe 24 photos you took of flowers during 1 week.
I think the biggest struggle in this one is the amount of photos you have to use. I used a template as a starting point, duplicated some of the photo spots and made a nice grid that I tilted.
So maybe if you look for a template with at least 24 different spots, that will help you figure this out.
This is what I did for this one:


The speech bubble one was a challenge that made me think as well. I had been looking for a paper with speech bubbles as background (I know I have it somewhere, just couldn't find it. Of course I did find one, although not the one I was looking for, after I had made my layout).
Anyway, I went searching for speech bubbles in stash and online. I found a few in my stash I could use, plus a layout to scrapligt, so that's what I did here:


The 2 challenges I am still facing are not the hardest... I use confetti (or scatters in some sort) in many of my layouts. But because I use it so much, I now don't know where to start. I think I just go through my stash to see if there's something to spark my creativity.
And I have the same problem for 'Make a wish'. It is so generic, that I just don't know where to start...

Thanks for the pointers.

The 24 photos challenge says they have to be from 7 days which is the problem for me as I don't take that many photos (I know, right, some scrapbooker I am!). There will be a few vacations from years past that I can pull from. Plus the whole fitting all those photos on one page is daunting. I may well scraplift @Romajo.

I think I'm going to scraplift your page for the 24 photos challenge as I really like the format you used.

For most of my pages I do a search through my templates and that really helped for the confetti one.
 
I think I finally figured something out... I have this kit and plenty of positive outdoor kits.

Are you playing along with the birthday challenges? Kristin's prize pack was a bunch of speech bubbles. I'm about to use them on the FDD template for today along with a birthday photo.

I have done both if you want to look in my gallery Luckily I am a teacher and the speech bubble one was easy enough
 
I did mine comparing WDW and Disneyland:


You can make it about anything really. Do you prefer coffee over tea? Scrap a page about why one is better! Do you have a trip coming up? Make a page about why you should drive or fly? Going to the store on a friday over a Sat. Using a debit card vs using a credit card (or cash). Why you like fruit over veggies. Truly you can just pick 2 things related and create a page about why one is better than the other! :) Hope some of the things in this thread have helped you!

Yes, that's what I went with in the end both the template and the speech bubbles!
