Weekend Warm-Up | LCW with a Twist - Win a $25 Gift Certificate!

We only have window units and fans here, too, @aussiegirl, and the older I get, the more I can not handle the heat! So while I love the plan-free Summer days with no school, I dread the hot & humid days where I will be stuck inside. I guess those will be scrapping days!

On a totally different topic, is anyone else having trouble with the C & C challenges? My brain just doesn't want to function properly and I am just having a hard time coming up with ideas for these. I made pairings already of things I may be able to come up with ideas to scrap, but maybe it's my age, I don't know, but my brain just isn't "connecting!," LOL! It took me forever to come up with things to scrap last month. In April, I didn't scrap at all because of spending so much time in the hospital with my Mom.

This is super interesting to me because I think this system is one of our easiest ever, but maybe the "open to interpretation" is like a decision paralysis thing for some people?

I'm always open to feedback so if you have ideas or thoughts on what would make it easier for you to accomplish, I'd love to hear them. Different types of words on the left, more specific prompts, etc. Let me know if you do!
 
I usually try to make the challenges work for my photos I need to scrap. I scrap chronologically, so I just go through my list and see what I can do. I like that it's open to interpretation, makes it a bit easier. Sometimes it's as easy as using the words in journaling or the title. The upside down really got me, because I was like why would my photos be upside down...but then I came up with an idea and ended up really loving my page.

I say sit with words and let the speak to you...something will come to you. You got this @3BluEyedBabies !!
 
What time is your normal wake up time?

I usually don't rise and shine (and shine might be a stretch somedays - lol) around 8:30 - retirement is the best! Ha ha!

Some of the prompts can be more challenging. Sometimes I change up the words a little bit. Like this month "degrees" I am taking off the s and using it as a college degree page. Sunsoaked, I used more as sunkissed. Sometimes I google what a word means, to get different versions of the word that may work better in a page. A lot of it is thinking outside the box. I write down all the words in my scrapping notes at the beginning of the month. Then I have the words to think over throughout the day or when scrapping, I can just look at the overall list and maybe see if I get an idea! Good luck! Be creative! Some months "speak" better to me than others, so do what you can!
 
Wow didn’t even realize it was already Friday tomorrow. It’s night here’s and kids are ill so they stay at home and I forget wich day we are. Lol!
 
Catching this late, but fun!
Weather is just hitting actual summer feel here, so for now I'm happy about it, but crossing my fingers it doesn't get to hot and humid...
My Dude has 2 more weeks of school. I'm enjoying those because once that's over I'll be losing an hour of my day getting him back from camp. But my parents, who usually visit in the fall, arrive Sunday... So wish me luck participating in challenges and even in the forum, free time is about to become a rare commodity :LOL:
