Last week I shared ideas for using email quizzes as your journaling. A similar idea is using printed quizzes & questionnaires. Simple Scrapbooks had a Special Issue “Scrapbook Shortcuts with Quizzes and Questions” that I LOVE. To give you a flavor of it, here’s an excerpt:
You can see the LO’s this quiz inspired on this blog.
The issue includes 25 quizzes in several categories: all about me, friends & family, fun & funky, kids, tell me a story (quizzes to remember your past) Since simple scrapbooks magazine is now defunct, getting a copy of this one may be a little difficult, but some of the editors of Simple Scrapbooks formed an online publishing company, Ellapublishing.
Ellapublishing has a similar e-book: Quick and Creative Quizzes
The book has samples for each quiz. Or you can just get 11 of the quizzes in a “printable” format.
I have both books and the quizzes are NOT repeated from one book to another.
Remember you don’t need to include the entire quiz. Just one or two questions & answers may be the perfect accompaniment to your layout.
Hi! Cheryl here, and I’m thrilled to show you some new digital scrapbook creations with a yummy kit (one of my personal favorites!!) called Sunnyside Up. Cara made a terrific page that is actually a note to her son about why she can’t understand how he can skip breakfast. There must be a million of us moms who can relate to that! But, look at this page with that yummy egg peeking out from behind the words, and see if it doesn’t make you hungry like it does for me.
This kit is also perfect for those cute character breakfast photos you have, and Carol used it to make an adorable page with her daughter’s breakfast with that famous Pooh bear Winnie. Just look how well the pink grapefruit and jam elements pick up on her pink jacket.
Did I mention this kit is one of my favorites? It’s versatile and perfect for many events, not just breakfast gatherings. Check out Erica’s page of her precious baby learning to handle his own snacks in his high chair. I can’t tell which cereal pieces came with the kit and which ones are in her photos – so cute!
Speaking of cute, have you seen Fonetta’s Littlest Sunshine? The warm colors and the elements in the kit look amazing with her beautiful daughter’s photos, and those paper frames highlight her sweetness perfectly.
Here’s a closer look at the kit.
Have fun with Sunnyside Up. I’m hungry now, so I’m going to find my favorite waffle recipe.

I am usually a little annoyed. yet intrigued. It’s kinda interesting to read the results. And that is the basis for today’s “trick”: Using quizzes in your scrapbook journaling. It’s a fun format and includes interesting details & personality.
Sometimes your layout will include several questions. To complete this LO about my husband’s birth story, he called his Mom and quizzed her about his birth.
Looking for quizzes? (Now you have a reason to keep those emails) You can also google email quizzes or email questionnaires.
Hi everyone, Janine here with this weeks idea to stretch your mind and stretch your stash. Many people, like to use just one kit when they are completing a page and there is nothing wrong with that, but a great way to stretch your stash and your mind is to use two kits you wouldn’t normally think would go together and find a way to combine them on a page. This week a few of the CT girls and I created pages using two kits that you wouldn’t normally put together they are:
E-I-E-I-O by Chelle’s Creations:
The other kit we paired with it was Chillin’ and Grillin’ by Chelle’s Creations:
Here are the layouts we came up with:
a two-pager by Kairyn:
by Jenn S.:
here is one from me (Janine):
by Heather:
So get out there and stretch your stash and your brain by using to kits you wouldn’t think to put together. Have a wonderful week!

Hi! I'm Chelle: a 40 something mom of 7. My husband & I live in a rural community in the rocky mountains with our 4 children still at home. In the winters we enjoy sledding & snuggling by the fire. I the cool fall evenings we love relaxing around the campfire & meeting friends at the county fair. Admiring the stars 
on a clear summer night and splashing in spring mud puddles. We love making memories together. Me? I love blueberries, fresh salmon, creating, memory keeping, & above all my family & my faith.
