Challenge #3 .... #theTPisGone

"An Economist Has Offered a Theory of Toilet Paper Hoarding. Empty Store shelves are one of the most visible signs of the panic surrounding the rapidly advancing coronavirus pandemic and few shelves are emptying as quickly as those that typically hold toilet paper. The reason toilet paper shelves are empty ... is that it's typically a product with a very predictable buying pattern."... Intelligencer / Author A Raymond

We as crafters might understand something about "hoarding" after all, we probably all have enough craft supplies for 5 lifetimes. It doesn't mean we quit buying or quit looking at all the pretty paper and great travel embellishments that keep showing up in the stores ;) Let's use some of our supplies


Challenge #3 -- #theTPisGone! Let's stop the hoarding and use our supplies! It's 9-1-1 ....

(9) Use at least (nine) items you've been hoarding/holding onto
(1) Use at least (one) square on your layout/page (it can be the photo or another item.

Challenge #5 .... #AloneTogether

" We are living through unprecedented and uncertain ties." "This unusual alteration to the way we live life calls for solidarity, togetherness and communication.

In times of crazy, it's fun to mix it up a little. Although we're scrapping "alone" we can still find inspiration "together". We're going to try something "new". We have a fun monthly Scraplift challenge where the hostess selects the "Scraplift". This one is similar however, the person who is going to pick the Scraplift you're going to do is YOU!

Challenge -- select a page/layout from the following to scraplift --
- SCS Scrapbook Gallery
- Your SCS Favorites

Remember a Scraplift: A scraplift is when you find a page or pages by someone else in the gallery that inspire you. You could choose to use the same colors same layout, same embellishments ... It does not have to be exact but it should be

Challenge #6 .... #SocialDistancing

"Social Distancing is deliberately increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness. Staying at least six feet way from other people lessens your chances of catching Covid-19. The pandemic can seem overwhelming, but in truth, every person can help slow down the spread of Covid-19. By doing your part, you can make a big difference to your health, and that of others around you." hopkinsmedicine.org/ Reviewed by A Maragakis
