I'm all for more pages about my favorite person (ME!). Haha, just kidding.

Question. Will your challenge require us to do an album dedicated to us? I do about half of the picture yourself challenges, and I would like to do more, but I don't think I'm reading to do a full album (I do 12x12 and 8.5x11). Also, will you be giving us prompts in addition to the picture yourself challenges?

Love this!

How exciting!  I need to do more of this for everyday me, not vacation me.

This will be my spot.

Will your challenge be accepting a variety of formats? travelers journal, planner, cards, mini-albums, or?

This is something I really want to do so my kids and grandkids have something of me to look back on. Count me in.

You do not have to dedicate an album just for you (although I've heard you are you're favorite person lol
I didn't think of providing prompts but if that's something that may help, I'm game!

ALL ALBUM formats are welcomed. The idea is to get us in our scrapbooks  Thank you for clarifying!

I’ve been trying to do more of this! I’ve got an 8x8 album I’m doing a weekly highlight of for 2024 & I also have a 12x12 album to put random memories in outside my regular albums. Definitely a good motivation to do more for this one in addition to my mini!

here’s one I did!!! photo is of me & my little man on my first official Mothers Day in 2019. I even included way more journaling than I normally do in the spirit of the “who am I?” Prompt!

Wonderful! That's the spirit behind this challenge! I love all the journaling. I have to go back to my spread and more journaling

Hello Sweet Cherries!

I am hosting a NEW challenge called, 'Who Are You?' You, you, you, you *in the tune by The Who. If you didn't sing it the first time, I'll give you a second to go back and sing it, but this time you must do a little shoulder dance as well! I know I'm a couple days late in introducing this new challenge but it is an ONGOING CHALLENGE so, save your spot and no sweat!

This challenge is to motivate you to create layouts about YOU in your albums. I will be following Kristin's (@aheatfan) Picture Yourself Challenge every month. I will take you through my creative process in hopes that you find inspiration and encouragement to keep scrapping your pretty little self! If you haven't been participating in the Picture Yourself Challenge, I highly recommend that you do! Kristin has provided heartwarming and super fun challenges thus far! Personally, I have completed none of her challenges... *hiding behind my laptop now lol Like many of you, I struggle scrapping photos of myself but as Kristin says, "...we, the scrappers are usually behind the camera and often fail to scrap ourselves -this [Picture Yourself Challenge] is a means to remedy that." I will be completing ALL previous challenges as well as the monthly one until I am all caught up. So, if you're just getting started like I am, we can do this together!

I was also inspired by @SandyJay's recent submission to the Picture Yourself Challenge in a Rewind called, Hope (it's a poetic must-read and so beautiful! Go take a look if you haven't done so already). Sandy's journaling really tugged at my heart! I decided to start a whole new project and fill a brand new album all about me. I can pass down to my girls to help them answer a question they may have about me one day, "Who are you?".

This challenge is meant to:
- Keep us accountable of scrapping photos of ourselves
- Encourage one another to scrap photos of ourselves &
- Inspire each other to scrap photos of ourselves

* combining is allowed
* surprise rewards randomly awarded to participants at random (meaning not every month)

Pretty simple I hope! Can't wait to see more of you

*UPDATE: Here is my spread for the first challenge of the Picture Yourself Series called -10 Random Facts About You
I will post this month's challenge entry soon -One Of Your Fears

Love this journal entry!! 

I updated my original post with a list of the "Picture Yourself Challenges" since July of 2023 when Kristin started it.  I am adding my LOs there also.
 

[beachlover]

awesome challenge...  the hard part will be getting a decent photo of me!  I am the one behind the camera all the time which we all can understand!

here is my spot.

[CraftyDoer]

Great inspiration to complete all of Kristin's  "Picture Yourself" challenges and save them in one album.  I went through past pages from years ago just yesterday that I plan to add also.
 

I love this idea for keeping track of the Picture Yourself Challenge! Updating the challenge to include this! AMAZING work btw with completing the monthly challenges. Fabulous entries

[pawprints]

Okay a question. Are we supposed to put the Picture Yourself challenges that we have already completed here? In other words have a complete list of what we have and have not done, then add what we do to it? Or - are we supposed to only put the new layouts that we do for the challenge here? Apologies in advance if I am not clear on this lol.

Barb, I made a list of all of the challenges since Kristin started the Picture Yourself and Jess added it to the original post.  I have the list in my saved spot and added the ones that I have already done and will continue to add as I do them.  Good way to keep track of what is done.

Great question and thanks for your grace as I learn to navigate this endeavor LOL The goal is to complete and keep track of all of the Picture Yourself challenges. If you have completed all of them thus far, please add them to your saved spot so the rest of us can get inspiration (and motivation) to complete ours! Next month, I plan to provide a prompt to help with completing past challenges. Vicki had a great idea of providing the list of all the past Picture Yourself challenges in her spot so I have provided the list (with links embedded) in the description of this challenge. So just cope and paste to your saved spot! Thanks for your question
