Typically, a digital scrapbook challenge will include steps or instructions to follow when creating a page. Sometimes a challenge will include a quote, specific colors, or even a mini kit\/sampler to use for your page.  Whatever form the challenge, it should ignite your creativity and encourage you to think outside the box.  Sometimes, these challenges can also nudge you out of your comfort zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Participants in challenges often receive something in return for participating.  This &#8220;reward&#8221; can include:  free product, points used to purchase product, $-off coupons or entries into drawings held after the challenge closes.  I&#8217;ve learned a lot and grown creatively by doing challenges. I hope you\u2019ll stir up your creative juices by joining in on some challenges!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/StepUp01.jpg\" alt=\"Step Up\" class=\"wp-image-2392\" style=\"width:250px;height:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/StepUp01.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/StepUp01-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/StepUp01-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/StepUp01-270x270.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">And on that note&#8230;one of my favorite challenge forums hosted a series of challenges called &#8220;Real Moments Challenge&#8221;. One particular challenge mentioned this quote, &#8220;Life isn&#8217;t measured by time, it&#8217;s measured by moments.&#8221; The entire series of &#8220;Real Moments&#8221; challenges was about, preserving those moments that stand out; the good, the bad and everything in between. Challenges like this can not only be fun but help us to see not every layout requires a photo. I encourage you to give challenges a try.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/LetMeKnow01.jpg\" alt=\"Let Me Know\" class=\"wp-image-2396\" style=\"width:300px;height:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/LetMeKnow01.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/LetMeKnow01-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/LetMeKnow01-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.yourscrappingcafe.com\/home\/d19521157\/public_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/LetMeKnow01-270x270.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you decide you&#8217;re up for the challenge, I&#8217;d love it if you would come back here and post a comment about your experience with this one!
