So some of you may know that my dh has been deployed for a few months now, he is over in the desert and is scheduled to come home in only 2 weeks!! Wheee I'm so excited. But it makes me miss him so much! Soooo much so, that it was all I could think about when I was planning this challenge.

So I'd like you to scrap a layout about something you miss. It could be a family member, season, favorite food, whatever you want to scrap about. BUT... the real challenge will be this... you must leave something MISSING from your layout depending on what theme you choose! So pick your theme and then use the list below to find out what page element you must NOT use on your page.

a Person/Pet = no journaling (you may have a title and date)
a Food = no title (you may have journaling or an element in it's place)
an Object (or anything else) = no photo (use embellishments and words to tell us all about it)

sounds like fun!! on it.

Beautiful LO!


Question--is a pet considered an object?

great challenge!

eh, I changed the requirement for the Object cause I wasn't too keen on the cardstock idea. I like making it tough on you
and I added pets as family

awww, that's GREAT NEWS, kris!! finally... he's homeward bound!

hmn... now, what am i to leave out if i've missed my SANITY?!

Thank you! I know I consider my pets family--but wasn't sure how others would consider them...

Great idea! It's a perfect fit for me right now. My dh left almost 2 months ago.

OK here's mine. I am in the throws of little kid-ness these days and I feel like I am constantly fighting their MESSES! So, I took these pictures of my DD's nasty feet prints she left on my dinding room carpet! I get so frustrated with them, but I know, someday there will be no nasty little feet print and I will miss them terribly.. Oh, and I couldnt give up the journaling! LOL! Had to do it... Great challenge! It was perfect for me today!

this wouldn't be hard for me because I have never journaled on a page...might need to start doing that!! I am not doing any challenges though...just playing games!! Can only seem to focus on my thing!

i'm not sure about translation. But if I scrap about food for exemple, my layout is wihtout title ?

I'm missing my grandchildren who live in North Carolina!

yes, scrap about food and do not use a title on your page

This was a great challenge. Here is mine.

Maybe you could do a 2-page spread where the journaling is on the 2nd page (& use the 2nd page for a different challenge)! 'Cause yeah, you rock at journaling!

Awww! Thanks!

I chose a person, so I left out the journaling.

I didn't want to do the no journaling, so I chose one that meant I had to do no pictures - a tv show.
