May Story Starter Challenge

For the past four years I’ve been releasing new storytelling prompts to members every month. This year, we’re celebrating each month’s theme with a Story Starter™ Challenge. You’re invited to create a layout and submit it for a chance to win a 3-month Simple Scrapper membership pass.

Three Ideas from the Creative Team

Each of these layouts from our creative team uses a sketch or layered template from the membership along with one of this month’s twelve new Story Starters.

You can get instant access to a library of more than 400 Story Starter™ prompts when you become a member at Simple Scrapper.

This layout from Kelly Sroka tells the story of one of her family’s favorite things to do together – play a game!

  1. When I have some free time, nothing relaxes me more than sitting down with a book and a beverage! I love the quote “I spend half the time thinking it is too late for a coffee, and the other half thinking it is too early for wine”.

  2. This is my first hybrid page. 🙂 It’s a lift of Jennifer’s Deep in the Heart page. Thank you for the challenge, chance to win, and the inspiration.

  3. The leisure time prompt made me think of these photos from a scooter ride with the kids last year. Nothing inspired me when I looked at the pics, but the prompt got me thinking. Thanks for the inspiration. Sketch inspiration came from Amanda Redicliffe.

  4. The Photo is unfortunately rather dark, but it shows my son and a new friend, he just had met, having a ride on a tractor.

  5. Now with Photo!
