Emily's challenges are quite thought provoking at times and I'm having quite a bit of fun using up all sort of scraps that are left over from making layouts. It's also a great way to try out new techniques that I'm not too sure about without worrying about messing up my 12 x 12's.
I've decided to make mine into some sort of book at the end... probably with a hole punched in a top corner and threaded onto a ring but if you have any other ideas please leave me a comment!
Here's my front cover:
Then I made an index page just to remind myself of where the idea for this came from: 
Week 1: something you are proud of. It was hard to choose just one thing... being a mum? completing teachers college? overcoming a brain aneurysm? in the end I chose being proud of taking chances and following my dreams. 
I found a great little quote by Mark Twain that I wanted to include but it wouldn't fit so I made a tiny card to go under the butterfly and it worked pretty well:Week 1: something you are proud of. It was hard to choose just one thing... being a mum? completing teachers college? overcoming a brain aneurysm? in the end I chose being proud of taking chances and following my dreams. 
Week 2: what is powerful to you? Lots of things came to mind for this one too... like I said, some of the challenges are really thought provoking! In the end I chose learning to live from my heart which is becoming more and more important to me as I get older.
So that's the first four prompts completed. I'd love to hear your comments so please don't be shy!
