My Design Spot: Blue Bazaar Crop Bootcamp

Like many of you my stash just keeps growing at an alarming rate (I'll be right when the Great Scrapbooking Depression comes) only to be matched by my stack of "gonna do's". You know, we all have a pile of them - projects we will do when we get time, papers and photos that work really well together, or techniques and products we just have to have a go at.
Thanks to Blue Bazaar's Crop Bootcamp - the time has come. You can download these 15 page maps for free just go to www.bluebazaar.com.au and have a go. I haven't been a big fan of page maps in the past but I've found now, they are a great springboard for your creativity in a hurry.

I set myself this challenge - complete the 15 projects in a week.

I also added some of my own rules:

- buy nothing, use my stash
- nothing is too precious to use
- use any photos at hand that tell the story
- a project can be a layout or OTP (if they're in the stack they're in)
- don't let the maps restrict creativity, use as inspiration
- have fun, rules are meant to be broken

Well here are the results - I'm happy with them, thanks to BB for that oomph. I feel good - stuck to my rules and that pile of projects has gone down (can't say I notice any difference in the stash though).
