I don't have a sample for you, but here is your next Weekend Workout!
Shape up! Create a page or card or other project that is not the traditional square or rectangular shape.
There are lots of shaped card designs, from a Christmas stocking to a birthday cake.
Arrange your valentines page on a big heart. A circle could be the perfect background for a soccer page.
Dig out your WRMK Lucky 8 punches, and give your page a bracket--or other--border.
Or or if changing the whole shape of your page is too scary, then use a traditional border punch and give it a scalloped edge. I know I have some border punches at home that punch straight lines AND the matching corners.
Come on. Time to think outside the box!

Now that I am home, here is my sample. I tend to be drawn to papers with clocks and gears on them, and this circle page was part of the lovely Kaisercraft Betsy's Couture collection. I could have put it on a cs page to back it, but I plan to slide it into the page protector unbacked.  72 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

I scanned this so there is a white background, but it's not attached (if that makes sense).  Thanks for the motivation. I have a couple dozen of these type of diecut papers that were popular several years back. It is long past time I used one! |

And that your clustering around it is off to the side. I still have a bunch of these too. Had to have them, then didn't know what to do with them. Most I have attached to cs, either in whole or in part, but it was fun to just work with the circle. (Mine is photographed on a woodgrain table, but it really is a naked circle, too!) |

(Not sure if this counts.)This traditional layout was based on a "ring." The Halloween papers were quite old (as are the pictures-from 2010)from my stash & were a mix of My Mind's Eye Frightful & Echo Park The Apothecary Emporium.  28-4-28 by Pati Nuce, on Flickr |

If this were grading for a final exam, you might lose some marks for not following instructions to a T, but that big shape is very much an important element on this page  . |

grammadee lovely page, great texture throughout! thracian very pretty! patin I think, whether your page counts for the challenge or not, it’s another page done, another memory documented, and (presumably) you had fun doing it, so it’s a win! I really like the border at the bottom, fun title and accents and those adorable photos!

While I was going through my camping/outdoorsy paper, I came across this Kaisercraft paper that was perfect for this challenge. Sorry it blends in with my table.  Maligne Canyon by Jacqueline Bruce, on Flickr |

I'm just going to share this here, cause you know, why not? I can't claim any points for it cause I did it in January for a DT challenge but it's a chocolate box! I had always wanted one of those big ol heart shaped boxes of chocolates and OH gave me one for our anniversary last year. I couldn't just chuck it away so I painted it and made something to hang on the wall!   And here it is on my lounge wall, I sit and look right at it!  |

What an awesome idea, kiwigirl! And it looks beautiful. We are told to "think OUTSIDE the box", but I love the idea of "thinking INSIDE the box"! |

Here is a birthday card I made for our soon to be 12 year old dgd. I handcut a heart from printer paper the old fashioned way (by folding it in half). Then I used it as a template to cut the folded card base.  heart card by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |
