If I were a…. what a great question to use to jump  start a digital scrapbooking interview with someone: a child, a parent, a or a grandparent. You can go absolutely anywhere with an open-ended question.I’ve thought of a few that might give you some ideas:

  • If I were a pair of dice …..
  • if I were a butterfly….
  • If i were an actor….
  • If I were a merry go round….
  • If I were a rich man…. (think Fiddler on the Roof)
  • If I were a judge’s gavel….
  • If I were a road construction cone…
  • If I were Miss Scarlet in the…. (think Clue)
  • If only I were a contestant on “Project Runway”….
  • If only I were the President of the United States….

Stuck with a picture you want to scrap, but can’t figure out a theme or an idea, try this idea out. I’ll bet you have some creative and intriguing layouts. I challenged 3 of our Creative Team members to share where “If-I-were-a….. ” ended up taking them. Check ’em out below:

Leah created this wonderful digital scrapbooking layout, “if only…”. I love the paper treatment and washed out castle. I Each of us could sit and look at this layout and daydream about “if only…” Leah (CatLady) She used Tea for Two & Carrot Patch

She used Carrot Patch & Tea for Two.

Next we have Kassie (Kass_23). Her big picture dominates that page and clearly shows her daughter’s joy in  being a “deer.” Isn’t that flower on the deer’s head in the corner adorable?

The third layout is by Jenn J (jmljensen). Her layout tells of the family dog’s wish , “if only I were a boy.”  Wouldn’t it be great if our animals could talk and tell us what they think?

I know you’ll have a great time using the “if only I were…” prompt. Create a layout and upload into the gallery at Scrap Orchard. We really enjoy seeing what you design.
